Looks so so so good. I can't help but wonder what a Role playing game ala wow or even destiny with this engine would be like.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

This is the reworked Titan, in case you're curious.

Did anything in Titan work besides this?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I was looking for the ol' TF2 sniper charge to prevent quickscoping/no scoping and yep, Widowmaker has it.

Hearing that it will be F2P with mircrotransations is crushing. Starting to feel that maybe I'm getting too old for this industry.

Yup. You and me both brother.

 

[SliceSabre]

Well now they certainly have my attention after that gameplay trailer. Looks like fun!

One more Overwatch thing: they haven't mentioned pricing, but I heard they're modeling it after League. F2P, purchasable characters


ughhhhh no.

That would be very disappointing.

 

[Compsiox]

The world and characters look so fun that i'm disappointed that there is no story campaign. I'm assuming..

TF2 didn't have a story but the community and Valve put one together. Hopefully it will be like that.

 

[ultron87]

I love how much info they dropped on this for the debut. Sweet CG, gameplay video, letting people play it at the Con, and a website full of info so we don't even need to depend on people playing the demo to compile character info.

 

[bearythebear]

I'm more happy this isn't a mobile game. And it could potentially run on my 5850.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

I'm getting the same vibes from so many games nowadays....this reminds me of Gearbox's Battleborn, a dash of Epic's Fortnite, and that other MOBA/TPS that was shown in August that had a similiar style

 

[Salz01]

I want it. Really hope it comes to consoles. Seems like a good fit for them.

 

[AaronMT86]

Reminds me of Global Agenda (anyone remember this?)

 

[Pappasman]

Welp, if any game is going to get me into the MOBA style f2p type game this is it. I'm floored by how great this looks.

 

[Kikujiro]

The chara design is really east meets west and it's good.

 

[jschreier]

What makes you say so so confidently? Just looks like an fps to me.

Well, while I was reporting what Titan was back in September, I heard bits and pieces about Overwatch from sources connected to Blizzard. In mid-2013, when they cancelled Titan and reworked the game, they took the PVP portions and turned them into this. Tweeted about it before the announcement.

Looks amazing.

Kinda glad its turned into something different than an MMO.

 

[FACE]

I'm undecided here. If they cycle through at least one for free throughout the months/years, a first purchase to focus on one character should still be extrodinarily cheap if it follows LoL. Even if you hated it, then bought a character in hopes that you'd like it, then hated it and dropped it, you would lose less than if you bought Destiny.

Not setting the bar very high.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

The game looks great, but I doubt I'll get too invested in it.

 

[Halabane]

Hoping it has some type of story. Yet another multiplayer beat'em up in a field crowded with them is not that exciting.

Its a good call, they found the fun in Titan (Overwatch Minigame) and worked with it.

[Loxley]

I love the diversity in the character designs. Some are very western, others look like they're heavily influenced by Japanese design philosophies - and the rest are a mix between the two.

 

[Home]

100% hyped.

The variety of the characters and their abilities is great at first look.

 

[RealityPales]

PS4 Blizzard! Make it happen.

 

[CountAntonius]

Brilliant idea. Looks really fun and someone finally figured out that moba style classes in an fps was a great idea. Will keep the meta game fresh for years.

 

[Nzyme32]

Not setting the bar very high.

Best to temper expectations just in case

 

[Joey Ravn]

Good for Blizzard for diversifying and adding new IPs to their catalog. "Team-based MP shooter" is the least appealing type of game for me, though.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

finally, a game with turrets you upgrade by hitting with wrenches, healing beams that can also buff people's attack power, a sniper rifle you have to charge, bows and arrows, teleporters, stealth killing invisible men, and wacky cartoon characters who speak in stereotypical accents

 

[tkalamba]

Microsoft patch standards and certification. Same reason why TF2 never got patched. Vanilla Overwatch could be on console sure, but will Microsoft allow them to put stuff out quickly and regularly when the project demands it?

I dont think that is an issue anymore. I remember seeing somewhere that MS has changed how patching etc works for games for this generation.

Anyone else see Sarah Kerrigan in her design? I know it's by the same developers.

 

[FourMyle]

One of the more surprising things about this is just how GOOD it looks. It's Blizzard so I was expecting something with great art but not graphically demanding.

 

[Danneee]

Another class based MP shooter?

I never thought the day would come when I'd say a remake would feel more creative than a brand new IP.
I really hope we'll see WC3HD.

 

[RK9039]

Yeah, I like the look of this.

 

[Owari]

Something like this would be great with character customization. I could care less about being random ape guy or white dude who speaks japanese. I want to be my own guy in a game like this, damn it.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

So its a more polished Monday Night Combat? I guess it will last a bit longer with the Blizzard name attached to it.

 

[IndustryX]

Looks pretty cool, PC only?

Yeah Valve should sue them.

I feel as if it has never been done before. Revolutionary gameplay!

 

[Acti]

Blizzard trying to take over another genre. pickup where valve failed to like they did you.

Valve failed? http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ What are you talking about?

he isnt a ramdom ape guy his name is Winston

SC Ghost turned into Titan which turned into Overwatch. Looks like fun!

Bastion da best already.

Feel the same way. Pretty let down.

It's also a game with temporal relocation in an FPS setting though. Which I never knew I wanted, but now I do.

 

[Skab]

Another class based MP shooter?

There are no classes. The characters are all unique.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Yeah Valve should sue them.

i'm just poking fun child



once they reveal the piss jars then we'll be talking about a REAL fps

As is the Blizzard way.
