there's recently been a big announcement in the MOBA scene and that is dota 2 reborn so essentially it's a new engine and has a new UI so today I'm going to give you guys my thoughts and opinions especially on the engine so let's take a look ladies and gentlemen welcome back to tech yes City this is brian coming back to you guys today with my initial thoughts and opinions on dota 2 reborn and now essentially what this is is just it's going to be a game that or it's going to be dota 2 reborn like literally in that it's going to overtake dota 2 once they've finished touching it up and finish putting the final touches in though for what it's worth i'm going to say straight away that i do like the new engine the main thing that I like about it is the smoothness of the gameplay for some reason this just feels like a 60 FPS it's bada smooth like for some reason it almost felt like i was playing 120 hertz it reminded me of playing games on 120 hertz monitor i don't know how they're doing that because why not analyzed a few frames there was no motion blur being put in being implemented into this game so they've obviously reduced CPU overhead and as you can see the textures actually looks like will actually look a little bit better so they're focused more on making this a little bit more GPU intensive and less CPU intensive which is always a good thing so straight away i'm going to say with the engine it's better than the original dota 2 so dota 2 reborn does carry a better engine and it is going to be a more enjoyable experience if you play dota 2 already and with that being said it's it's great that they're doing this if what it's worth if you came in thinking you'd be a whole new game than you're mistaken as you can see here it's pretty much plays exactly the same the game's identical to dota 2 it's just dota 2 with this new improved more efficient engine rather than having a whole new look to it so the game feels exactly the same you're just getting better pick textures and you're obviously getting a more smoother engine so straight away i'm going to give a big thumbs up to this end you know the fact that they just brought it out of nowhere like I didn't even know where this announcement was coming from and I just download the beta and I started playing it and I was immediately impressed with how smooth this engine was so that's the first point I'd like to talk about and the second point I'm going to talk about is the new UI where it's kind of a little bit different and straightaway the smoothness of the engine carries through to the UI like the UI feels really smooth as well looking through it it looks very detailed it looks better than the old you I though I will point out one thing and that's that I wish the actual you know party menus and find a ranked match I wish they would make that a lot bigger and sort of make that the main focus because I just enjoy playing the 5v5 for what it's worth so I'd like to see them sort of keep retain the old party menu and find you know a ranked match where you choose your servers and stuff I think that works really well already and dota 2 so I kind of see no need to change that so the next big thing to address is the custom games that they're introducing with dota 2 reborn now I like that they're doing this because this is pretty much paying homage to the original way that dota spawned in itself and that was from user map settings on warcraft 3 so they're allowing different kind of custom games to be introduced different playing styles so things that you're not used to for instance something different to your 5 verse 5 and you can try some different games out there's actually a lot of different custom games and a lot of these can be made from the community so it's really the good that they're implementing this I personally haven't tried any yet and I will get into trying different modes out and possibly if you guys want to see a video on what custom games are like then I could definitely upload that for you after trying a few out though what it's worth there's already a ton of custom games out there at the moment and I'm looking forward to trying a few of them probably the most popular ones so this is a really good feature that they've implemented and I really do like it so the next thing I wanted to talk about is the sort of I guess some of the things that people will be wondering like why isn't there new graphics essentially they did state a new engine so that's kind of different to new graphics but honestly myself I would have loved to have seen improved graphics me having a high end gaming PC I certainly will higher higher end graphics settings are always welcome though I can understand with dota 2 it's made to pretty much play on any computer and I definitely think with this upgrade that they've done to the already existing dota 2 engine it will be able to be played on pretty much any computer whilst offering some slight graphical improvements so I do like what they've done with that and I can understand that they don't want to change something that's already successful so lastly I wanted to talk about the innovation aspect and this is where I like what they've done here because this kind of forces other mobile arm creators to get more innovative and i'm mainly looking at Riot Games here which I think need to release an update for League of Legends because I can personally see ray games losing League of Legends player base to dota 2 since dota 2 are constantly getting involved with things like this update and so I like what they've done here and I think it's a great thing not only for dota 2 fans but for the MOBA seen in general so big thumbs up there and I'd like to see some other movies I mean we've got heroes of the storm in open beta now so that's going to be an interesting thing I actually want to play that and get into it and give you guys a review of that but for what it's worth dota 2 reborn is a welcome improvement I do like what they've done with it it is really butter smooth you can probably see this is only at 30 frames per second you probably like wall this is actually pretty smooth in itself so anyway guys that's about it though if you have any comments or questions about dota 2 reborn then be sure to drop a comment in the comments section below and I'll get back to you as soon as
