What do you mean by that "No Soul" It has a ton of personality from what I've seen so far. And the art direction is great. I could see this game being heavily marketable. Film, Toys, Books and so on. Do you mean some of them look out of place?

Blizzard still as unoriginal as ever.

It would be great to see this on the PS4.

Wii U would be great as well.
Came expecting to be "meh, another damn shooter", but I really like the character designs (which is odd, since I'm pretty meh to Blizzard's stuff), and the gameplay look to have lots of variety, which is nice.
But, I was super bummed out that this cool dude was not in the gameplay trailer:

Full circle. LoL is based on a MoD that turned blizzard's WC3 models into heroes.
Blizzard design has always being like this, fanatic like, easy, juvenile, trying to be cool above anything, although well done given what their purpose is.

Finally got around to watching this after reading people hype it up all day.
It does not look remotely fun. I have no clue what people are seeing in it.
Plus it's blizzard so the balance will be horrendous.

It is what Titan was retooled into.
(Do we know what the pricing model is for this game, btw?)I should have said "PC only, suuurrrreee."

Overwatch was a minigame in Titan. I think it was the PvP of Titan.

My problem with this is won't she start to warp around the ankle and eventually be flat on her face?
Me too.
Still not a fan of the art direction. It's well executed for what it is but it just doesn't do anything for me. Feels derivative. The gameplay has me interested but I'm tentative on how you can balance all those different abilities especially with the information they're releasing.
I can't help but feel some characters will be necessary for teams, like the flying medic. Course, TF2 also had fundamental class balancing issues but on the other hand, that game is super old.

Could you elaborate on this? I can totally see not being into it, but I'm not sure how it looks like a predictable modern Blizzard game. They canned their first attempt at a shooter, and the art is far more cartoony and goofy than the look Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft all have these days. If anything, it seems like fans could be/are disappointed in how not like a modern Blizzard game it is.

The artstyle for the game is fantastic, and it's sounds like they have the setting of the universe and characters very fleshed out, but...*sigh* This is just so dissapointing. It sounds like it's nothing but an arena shooter with the skill system of moba's...
The setting feels like it could have been much much more than just a dumb arena shooter. Like seriously, imagine if this was Titan, same universe, same artstyle, same/similar gameplay. And instead of the arena shooter stuff being the entire game, it was only the pvp portion.

Looks really good, varied cast with unique designs. Fan of Widowmaker, Symmetra, Hanzo and Reaper.
Seems like It will feel in the UT type gameplay itch with a bit more flare, some nice artsy looking levels too.

This was Titan.

Most "dumb arena shooters" have more skill and depth than People think. Depends on the game.

Better to sell hats and skins then weapons and classes.
Wait, what? Now I really want to know how Titan played
Trickster's post is right, this is basically the PvP component of what Titan would have been. It's just that the other stuff just didn't come together and this was still salvageable.

I'll give it a shot if it ever makes it's way to Xbox One. Looks alright.

Welp. I can't say I'm impressed, sadly - I'm incredibly tired of shooters. Just looks extremely rote.
Previously Overwatch was a mini game in Titan.

Well, signed up for the beta, looks interesting enough, even though from the gameplay trailer some of the classes didn't look that different/unique from others.
Ah, the pieces are really coming together
I wonder if the CGI trailer was originally made for Titan. The line "We could always use more heroes" would make the most sense if you afterwards get to create your own character.

I'm disappointed Blizz's next big thing is just aping TF2 but I'll certainly try it.

Sounds like the project was too ambitious and fell apart midway through, probably for the best. Would love to see something similar to what's described in the future though.

SHOCKING NEWS: Trickster is disappointed in the scale of a game and/or lamenting "content that was cut."
TBH going by the Kotaku article this is just titan with the "normal world" stuff removed. They described the shadow world as quick PVP matches.
The normal world "you can be a cook, or a janitor!" stuff sounded awful, so I'm not sad about it.
Motiga's GIGANTIC, too
