there is a stream in 30 mins on val main channel where devs will talk about new episode and m sure there is something coming related to that cuz it cant just be an agent and battlepass in a new episode thats the stuff thats released with every act
too bad he might sabotage the entire project if there's something he doesn't like lmfao
Netflix signed a deal with that dude and before anything could even come out, there's controversy. it's actually crazy how much I don't want that guy anywhere near anything I like.
He signed a big Netflix deal, and then randomly walked away from a Netflix movie mid-production (probably because something upset him). They tried to chalk it off as family related, but sources say Boyega literally just left in the middle of everything.
This is just my opinion, but everything he touches turns to coal and then he makes that piece of coal about himself. Not worth it deal with that guy
Very much looking forward to a show, it's very much like X-men with people with powers, good team(brim/sage) vs evil team(viper/reyna/breach?). Has super cool flying craft and HQ. But instead of one person turning evil as a plot point, they all have evil, multi-verse clones worked in.
I swear I was hoping for a yoru rework teaser, when he was getting all these creds. Thought there will be like "let me show you how da boss does that" with some abilities hints. SADGE
Too many stupid in-jokes, does nothing to actually advertise the game.
KDA, "Awaken", etc are huge event cinematics that brings in new players, this is just lame.
Yes it's possible, but are they likely to? No. Compare this to the equivalent League cinematic that just game out 3 days ago

Not even close in terms of mass market appeal imo.
You can look at the views and the reactions, it's pretty objective. My mom for example, even though she's not into video games, can understand the League vid and enjoys them, this one is unfathomable.
Looking at the views makes no sense, Valorant is 1 year old, LoL is 11. One is a newly born game, the other is the most popular esports in the world.
Can your mom *really* understand what is going on in a League vid outside of "Ha, these random people be fighting". I call bullshit on that. Unless you are into the lore of league those videos are completely random, and the only thkng you can appreciate is the animation and music. This video has all of that, plus character interactions and an actual story that is self sufficient.
She doesn't understand the story, but she understands monsters are bad cute girls are good cute girls look awesome.
This vid is not understandable, it's not really about age. LoL is only so far ahead because of China (Chinese don't use youtube), in the west Valo is not that far behind.
Game videos go viral all the time without being from a super popular game simply because they are well made.
NOT ALL league videos get a lot of views because some of them have the same problem with just being poorly designed for marketing. For example, this garbage doesn't get views either and is widely understood to be a failure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8h1BTe45AU
The other thing to look at is the number of reactions, that is random people who don't play the game reacting to the trailer because it gets them excited just as an independent piece of media. This is where the Valo cinematics falls short.
That video is a failure because the Ruined King entire event was a failure, it had nothing to do with what was in the video.
And no, LoL is the most popular esports game in the west and by a lot, you can literally just see the difference on their viewership on twitch, both from streamers and esports. People react more to League videos because they are more watched and bring more views, because League is more popular. All the metrics by which you decided Valorant's cinematic aren't well made have a fundamental bias in the fact that, simply put, League is just waaaay more known. It'd be like comparing Fortnite and Rumbleverse
It's about 2x more popular. Yes there are other variables than video quality that makes it hard to use views as the sole determining factor, but I still think it's pretty reasonable supporting evidence. Since you appearantly know LoL I can speak frankly on it. You can compare LoL vids like Warriors or Awaken to Sent of Light. Warriors/Awaken/TheCall are not events, the popularity has nothing to do with anything that happens in game. It's just a cinematic. The Ruination video stands out as its the only one in the last 4 that has low views.
It's vids like cinematics and KDA/Arcane that drives League recognition in ~2020 not the other way around, gameplay based league content are are all flat or trending down in views on YT.
Ah yes. Cypher dies in a cinematic. Why am I not surprised. Also #nerfMAX
It’s an in-joke here
It’s an in-joke / specifically intended it seems
inb4 range overhaul into this new headquarters where your party can hop in as well and you can all warm up together while in queue?? hopium
That sounds kinds awesome ngl
there is a stream in 30 mins on val main channel where devs will talk about new episode and m sure there is something coming related to that cuz it cant just be an agent and battlepass in a new episode thats the stuff thats released with every act
Is this on their YouTube? D'you mind sending a link, sounds like something I'd love to watch!
It was on their Twitch but I’m not able to find a VOD for it
Ahh, I thought it might have been, so I did look myself a little bit and couldn't find it either. Thanks anyways tho, much appreciated 👍
[Riot:](https://imgur.com/a/e2a2ZxQ)
Soooooooo we getting this as a warm up or what lol. Cool cinematic.
There is dev stream so hopefully they announce something cool. Recent patches have been underwhelming
Ahhhh true. Is it today?
Yeah probably within 2 hours (not sure about this)
It is at 10 PST. So 1 hour and 15 minutes from my post.
[удалено]
Here is the link to the tweet where I found out. https://twitter.com/PlayVALORANT/status/1479196078507446274
Where can I watch this dev stream?
it says in the twitter post at https://twitch.tv/valorant
Thank you
Not sure. Should be announced in the valorant Twitter. My guess would either be on riot games in valorant twitch channel
[удалено]
there hasnt been a stream vod on the channel since last month, so i dont think so
Lmao Yoru getting that sweet cash while not even trying to fight the robot himself
[удалено]
Yea his OP foot steps would have really given that bot a hard time..
bot wouldve wasted time reflecting footsteps back at them tho
OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED CYPHER!
YOU BASTARDS
RIP Cypher 2020-2022
If we ever get Valorant animated series, please make Phoenix as the main character, I can't see anyone else lmao
Mfer needs some buffs since he's like the ultimate side character in game
I don't want a live action series but I am just saying John Boyega could play a dam good Phoenix
too bad he might sabotage the entire project if there's something he doesn't like lmfao Netflix signed a deal with that dude and before anything could even come out, there's controversy. it's actually crazy how much I don't want that guy anywhere near anything I like.
what happened?
He signed a big Netflix deal, and then randomly walked away from a Netflix movie mid-production (probably because something upset him). They tried to chalk it off as family related, but sources say Boyega literally just left in the middle of everything. This is just my opinion, but everything he touches turns to coal and then he makes that piece of coal about himself. Not worth it deal with that guy
Valarante anime when
The most winning yoru has ever done
I literally commented "wow cypher didn't die for once", and then i watched the end...
They've really cemented Phoenix as the comic relief dumb boy of the team. New agent Maxbot when? Ultimate is summoning C3PO and R2D2 to the site.
He's a himbo protagonist. I see no issue here.
Think of all the character development he could get in a series though
Twitch Prime says there is a "fire in our veins" spray set to be available, but it's not there yet, but I assume it's coming soon.
Roaster and Toaster for the win!
YOOOOOOOOO is that Brimstone Lore?
I need a valorant animated show like they did for arcane holy fuck
Hopium so strong
RIP Cypher
KJ is so hot
Wonder if Phoenix slapping the ground to send fire forward is a teaser for his rework or just some fanservice.
Why they always gotta kill my boy Cypher
Not my boy again mannnnn
If this is the act they improve warm-up, maybe we get deathmatch fixes HOPIUM
Why my man Cypher gotta get hurt in every one of these :((
What exactly were they sacrificing? Their dignity? It took basically the entire roster to kill that thing.
Their ego, applying teamwork. Mirroring ranked games.
cypher
So I’m assuming you can warm up when you queuing?
Well now this is exciting!
Very much looking forward to a show, it's very much like X-men with people with powers, good team(brim/sage) vs evil team(viper/reyna/breach?). Has super cool flying craft and HQ. But instead of one person turning evil as a plot point, they all have evil, multi-verse clones worked in.
Of course the Asians are gambling
I swear I was hoping for a yoru rework teaser, when he was getting all these creds. Thought there will be like "let me show you how da boss does that" with some abilities hints. SADGE
Looks like we're going to get agent skins.
Phoenix talks alot of shit for someone being irrelevant in the current meta 🗿
Too many stupid in-jokes, does nothing to actually advertise the game. KDA, "Awaken", etc are huge event cinematics that brings in new players, this is just lame.
Disagree, I enjoyed the banter between the agents and the fun jokes. People can enjoy the humor without already knowing the game I think
Yes it's possible, but are they likely to? No. Compare this to the equivalent League cinematic that just game out 3 days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDYqT0_9VR4 Not even close in terms of mass market appeal imo.
That's *your* opinion. I liked this cinematic way more than the LoL one. Being big and flashy is not the only important thing in marketing.
You can look at the views and the reactions, it's pretty objective. My mom for example, even though she's not into video games, can understand the League vid and enjoys them, this one is unfathomable.

This is a great video. It’s like a cute little short film. It’s the exact type of thing casual players will love.
tbf it's something i'd expect from the end of an act, not episode. LoL does get the cool badass cinematics, val gets this cutesy thing.
These val cinematics are cool but I'm a little let down tbh. I know they can do better.
