Blizzard announces Overwatch. Team based MP Shooter [Up: Trailers, Screens, More]
- Thread starter cartoon_soldier
- Start date
We need more of the latter and much much less of the former, so glad Blizzard took the right choice, appeal to my tastes
That's great, glad for you. Not my case as you can see.
Do you really see many MMOs nowadays to ask for less?

Since there aren't a ton of characters already, I wonder if they'll offer some kind of full package to get all characters.

are you serious blizzard? This is LITERALLY TF2's medic. Even down to the look and accent.
Uh, it's not. Only the heal beam part everything else is different. Medic can't glide, medic doesn't use a plasma handgun, medic primary doesn't have an alt damage boost. Medic doesn't have a revive, medic doesnt have a glide and dash to ally move.

Goddd, so excited for this, looks right up my alley.
I need to get into the beta just to see how this plays on my rig.

That was a Pixar level intro... that was so human and touching.
As for the game, I am cautiously optimistic. It looks Team Fortress x Arena fighter. I like it, they certainly worked hard on those characters.

"Mercy flies towards a targeted ally, allowing her to reach them quickly and provide assistance in crucial moments."
"Propelled by her Valkyrie suit, Mercy slows the speed of her descent from great heights."
Yup literally TF2 medic. Just because it can also shoot a healing beam. What?
Also just noticed each has an ultimate ability also.
"Mercy radiates restorative power, bringing nearby dead allies back into the fight with full health."
So it's for sure a shooter that takes inspiration from mobas. Huge emphasive on different heroes and abilities.

Heroes of the Storm is a moba not a RPG action game. Personally I'd like to see them make a big budget RPG (non MMO).
I'm just tired of everything being a shooter at this point, there are way to many on the market already and while this will be Blizzard's first attempt at making one I'm just personally sick and tired of seeing so many of them, it likely will be a great game but I want some freaking verity in the games I play everything is a shooter now and it might just be me but I'm so freaking sick of them.

Hmm... Well I can hope it'll be like Diablo with a later console release or Hearthstone with a later tablet release.
I don't play much on my PC since my friends are also console players, so Blizzard if you're reading this, you have one guaranteed console player here.

It literally is not. Did the stock TF2 medic have a damage buff ability and the ability to swoop and glide to other team members? Not to mention the medic in TF2 doesn't use a handgun.

Considering the rest of Titan seemed to be some Sims/Second Life RP bullshit, this is better than Titan =P

I think he was referring to Diablo 3
Well, why would did you think Blizzard would make such a game? Should be fine really. If they follow their treatment of Heroes of the Storm, this game should rotate characters on a frequent basis so only buy if you are diehard about a particular character and don't feel like getting the coins to unlock them. I haven't spent a cent on HoTS and I have everyone I want. It's a good model.

A sign of good development flow, bad ideas are filtered out and good ideas are kept.GamingSteve has a good connections with Blizz devs
But always I'll wonder how the game played before the rework in 2013.

So why would a mini-game be one of the first things they have completed instead of actual parts of the main game? Seems to me there was some major mismanagement of resources.

What happened to trying a game on the merits of being a game? /smh
I was referring to Diablo.
I think from a gameplay perspective there is no reason why this game can't be on console. The question becomes if they do a LOL style monetization how that will work on closed systems.
They know they get way more than $40 from people on average if they go the f2p route.

Looks cool. Bring it to console and I'm in.
The issue here would be the gameplay transferring to controller limitations and whether the mechanics are suited to that, which is all unknown. Although it looks like a simple TF2 affair, it might not be quite that simple. Diablo was really an excellent choice for a first console game as it transfers nicely. With this, I'd imagine the remain PC focused for a year or so and then attempt to move it across assuming the above are workable issues

Good game developers let the game guide them as much as they guide the game. Obviously that "mini-game" was telling them where to put their focus.
Yup. Also, saying this medic and the TF2 medic look visually similar would be like saying Brett Farve looks like Jennifer Aniston.

I guess I'm looking at things from the TF2 perspective. Team balance matters a lot in class-based shooters and having things like a healer rotate in and out of the f2p roster would make the meta kind of hard to keep up with.
Please. German name, german accent.Heal beam and a grapple. Yes, this is the TF2 medi.
