I think the entire pelvis part of her character model rotated toward the camera slightly, independently of her legs. Still funny-looking though.
There better be sentient Dolphins in this universe.
This is the best part.
I'm really impressed by everything they've showed. Wonder how long it's been in development.

Didn't know reverse liposuction was a passive. Animators need to keep having fun or else we'll run out of webms.

Looks like Blizzard's Shadowrun FPS. I didn't ask for this.

The butt helps though.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Now I kinda miss Titan. Looks like it could have been awesome. This will be good no doubt, just not my cup of tea.

We will be ashamed of our words and deeds.
I'm not saying games like Destiny and (presumably) Overwatch aren't fun games that can be enjoyed. I'm saying that marketing and hype seem to be pushing games that are fun but not necessarily great into mega sellers.
Obviously part of the hype is on the Blizzard name, but I'm not sure how much matters. The game is playable right now and will have a long alpha/beta phase before release. And even then it will apparently be F2P. Most people interested in this will likely know what they're getting into and whether or not they'll like it before having to commit to it financially.
Edit:
Don't think there will be "sales" for this because of the aforementioned F2P angle. It'll just come down to whether or not people are enjoying the game and want to stick with it.

Looks like TF2 finally has a serious challenger.

But they are not NVGs
They kinda hinted at it on the panel.
This is never a bad thing.
Hypeee
Edit: Watched the gameplay trailer. Looks fantastic! Loved the wall-climbing part with Hanzo :3

So do we know if these are all the characters? The cinematic trailer showed some cool characters that aren't in any of the gameplay trailers, like the cowboy.
Exact quote?
I know you put a question mark behind it, but TF2 is no arena shooter and neither will Overwatch be one. People just use any random word they once heard these days.
Arena shooter with loadouts and different classes simply doen't exist. Period.
It is confirmed that these are not all the characters.
Wish I could see WebM in Safari Q_Q

So is it confirmed F2P? And if so, how is that going to work for blizzard in shooter sense?
I'v never played Hearthstone so I don't know how they deal with F2P?

The question was "Consoles"?
and they were like "Mmmhh.... that's an AWESOME idea."

I'll PM you when everyone has stopped liking what you don't like.
Not confirmed, but there are rumblings of a LOL style pricing structure.
Yeah, you said you were leaving already. Twice.
Tracer definitely looks like a complicated character.
As long as there's a "buy all" option like in KI i'm okay with this.

A bit disappointed that Blizzard's new IP is just a FPS, it'll be the first Blizzard franchise I won't care for at all.

you already said you were leaving so...gtfo?
I do see the company's new "focus on smaller games" approach written all over this. Titan was a (pun) titanic game. Massive games like that require many multiple components to play well individually and then together. A game like WoW is like 7 different games combined (adventure game, exploration, team co-op, objective battlegrounds, pvp arena, gathering economy). All the individual components that make WoW would work as smaller stand alone games. They were building the same thing with Titan, and while the PvP components were working, the more ambitious MMOish systems like the economy, adventure, progression and co-op (dungeon raiding) were not. While it is smart of them to somewhat salvage what was working from Titan, and after all that money spent, they must, it is kinda disappointing not having the broader game come into being. Maybe if Overwatch is a huge hit, they'll resurrect some of the MMO systems and make a new MMO based on the now-then established franchise.
Nah man didn't you read MormaPope's post? Nothing like TF2 at all especially that Medic character!
There is no death match mode.
They...should add in deathmatch.
Indeed. I'd rather a DOTA style paysystem were everything that costs money is cosmetic, but...I am also willing to plunk down 59.99 for a new game that I want to play.
59.99, and not a cent more.
