I don't know anything about their finances, but S2 started out making RTS games. The games were practically unplayable WC3 clones. That's one reason why I'm skeptical of their ability to design anything original.

Then what were you referring to ? S2 only has the following titles :

Savage: The Battle for Newerth (2003) (Windows, Macintosh, Linux)
Savage 2: A Tortured Soul (2008) (Windows, Macintosh, Linux)
Heroes of Newerth (2010) (Windows, Macintosh, Linux)

Savage is no way near a wc3 clone , so what game are you talking about ?

The first titles that S2 created were terrible RTS games. That's what S2 was founded on before they got ahold of HoN and became a real company. It's not exactly surprising that these games are no longer supported, since nobody played them, is it?

They may have been created before or after the original Savage, I don't know. Either way, vaporware.

Um what? I am almost certain that Savage: The Battle for Newerth was their first game. I honestly think you are mistaking them for someone else, if not, please provide a source, because you made me Google and nothing seems to indicate that you are correct.

Just what we needed. Another dota clone. Because farming gold isn't boring enough in just one game.


People seem to forget that AoS came first and thus Dota was born after.


People seem to forget that its not weather or not AoS was first, its about who made it big.. first.

Case and point? that fps is such a Doom clone... i mean Wolfenstein clone... i mean Catacombs 3D clone.... i mean Hovertank clone..

I think you get my point.


No, I don't get your point because there is none to be made. It is also not a matter of "Cloning". Dota was created because they were inspired to create it because of AoS. People become inspired by what they see and or play and thus create something bigger and better. Who is to say without AoS that Dota would even exist? AoS was the stepping stone for Dota.

That is all that matters.


Do you even know what the word clone means? It means the game that another most closely resembles/is trying to imitate. None of these games are trying to imitate AoS, because AoS was not a fully fleshed out game. HoN is clearly a DotA clone and not an AoS clone. LoL more closely resembles DotA than AoS, though I wouldn't call it a clone of anything. DotA was originally an AoS clone, but now, the modern generation is building upon what DotA has done since then.


Yes, I know what clone means but thank you for the unneeded explanation. Also, you clearly didn't get what I was saying.

The market for dota-like games is growing. Its playerbase is huge. Why wouldn't they try? I think LoL will remain the king of this genre though. Having said all this, I still don't really play any of them. lol

The Savage games were some seriously innovative/next-level stuff. The only other game that compares in Natural Selection. S2 sucks but to completely discredit Savage as WC3 clones (which they're not) is stupid.

TBH, I wish they would go back to Savage. Those games were so cool, and there's a ton of room to grow in that genre.

market is oversaturated.. the more simple you try to keep it the more stale it gets. how many unique 4 ability kits can people come up with that isnt just another stun, knock up, aoe type thing? heroes purposes start to overlap and the newer ones overshadow the older--its a relationship even league is suffering from now. ill admit that the boss condition that forces a end game push is a nice idea, but may be a little over powered. And i agree with the xel naga towers over wards, but without pidgeon holing team positions like support, is it going to turn into a shitstorm brawl?

If you can't name those games don't even try to argue. Also if you think that after developping S1&2 and HoN they don't have any competent artists and programmers you are clueless.

It's been taking them a long time replacing and updating their old Savage 2 engine which was used in hon which was horribly ugly on the inside. Dat k2 turd.

Savage was a really neat idea. Super fun to play around in. However the only thing S2 has proven to me with HoN is their ability to completely shit the bed every patch. They did nothing but break the game patch after patch after patch. Heres some new cosmetic crap! What about the network issues, what about the being DDOSed forever, what about the mega broken heroes?

Maybe someone is mistaking the Commander view in Savage for WC3? I mean I guess it sort of kind of looks similar. However only 1 player on either team was a commander, they played the game like a RTS spending the money and building structures. Everyone else on the teams were playing a FPS where they were the "units" going around and gathering or killing. It certainly was nothing like WC3 or any other game for that matter.

Hon doesn't really have mega broken heroes at high level play a few rare instances, but there are certainly heroes that take a whole lot less to play well and stomp pubs. What S2 does great with hon, hero and ability creation is so easy in their engine they really stream lined the process, unless it's a completely new ability concept you just mismash calling already done scripts add skin and model and done. Plus it just feels smooth imo compared to the rest, ionno if it's their animation or what but it feels better. I have no qualms that their new game will run well it's just they aren't a popular company it's hard to snatch people away, esp with this kind of game that really people come in packs they play what their friends play.
