My first knowledge of this came from one of Michael Cusack's first animations from 2012 where everyone is watching E3, excited for the third iteration of Half Life or Left 4 Dead. Gabe Newell enters on stage and announces Ricochet 2.
It's like the rolling ball minigames from Mario Party but it looks like a royalty free Tron. A thrown disc automatically attaches to a specific number of vertical levels. Feels like there is an odd, juttery delay of throwing a disc, so I'm not talking about any internet latency or said discs not being hitscan.
Ricochet is multiplayer only, including a server browser with slim choices. Near empty aswell.
Of all the moments of Valve picking up whatever mods they came across, this and Day of Defeat really shows that case. Or this was just a mere tech demo ("What for?", not sure).
Would play a Ricochet 2 though. Am certain that this could be expanded into a 'real' game, and so on.
