Overwatch - The world needs heroes, and Blizzard needs a TF2 game! - Games

we're all too busy getting smashed and claiming benefits to work on tv

[QUOTE=greeley;46510925]I've never been but in my head you have about 4 different accents. Southern, Northern, Incredibly fake sounding and then "just american". But i watch a lot of youtube videos with americans in and they are americans from all over. Like Achievement Hunter for example, most are from TX there but you've got a brit there, someone from New Jersey and a few others from all over and they all sound a little different. But you never really see much different on TV with brits, you only see Cockney, Chavvy or Posh lol.[/QUOTE] From what I understand (and it's possible I don't understand much) a lot of British actors on American TV shows tend to hide their native accent for the more exaggerated ones Like that one scientist on Agents of SHIELD is from Sheffield or something but was trying to sound like television producers think British people sound like

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;46510904]No. What do British people think Americans sound like?[/QUOTE] same way Americans think Australians sound like

I never understood why they don't just hire Okay voice actors with their only fault being their painfully obvious accents. That would actually work out in most cases. I mean if you want exotic accents, that would be the best way to get them.

Remember when people thought all Brits had posh accents? Oh boy. I'm genuinely interested and excited for this, moreso for Zenyatta because me likely cool support characters. Knowing me, I'll just play as Mercy and Zenyatta so I don't have to deal huge bursts of damage. Speaking of huge bursts of damage, does anyone else think most of the characters do tonnes of damage? Reaper and Widowmaker, for example, as well as the Tanks. The only exceptions I can see are Tracer and maybe Mercy but even those have one weapon that will take down Tanks at a decent speed. I think this means battles near objectives will be much quicker and fluid but throws in the element of 'what the hell killed me in 0.034 seconds', not sure if such damage rates are good or bad. Guess we'll find out. P.S Symmetra looks like a foreign relative of Chell.

[QUOTE=Potaji;46513895] P.S Symmetra looks like a foreign relative of Chell.[/QUOTE] Not really. At all.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;46514616]They could have lowered the health of the ai for demonstration purposes.[/QUOTE] Pretty likely, yes. But, IIRC someone who played at blizzcon said reapers ult was still bananas in the actual game.

On the topic of accents,, i'm really dissapointed that Torbjörn doesn't sound more Gothenburg-ish. Also, if he should be 100% accurate they need to rename him to Glenn (popular name in Gothenburg) and make him speak Swenglish. :v:

[QUOTE=greeley;46509889]Thats completely fine, i'm sure it is intentional. I just don't understand peoples love for her voice and i've seen so many people wondering why its so good. and surprise surprise, all of the people that like it are not from england haha. Is this really how you all think we brits sound?[/QUOTE] Same with the Medic in TF2. To Germans, he doesn't sound German at all. When he says German words it just sounds like a native English speaker trying to imitate the awful German accent (to me). No idea how authentic it sounds to people from other countries but I think it's the same case with the Tracers voice and people from Britain. Because I really like her voice. It may sound a bit overdone but I think it still fits great and adds a lot to her character.

It's the same with Tor-Björn. If we're going to go by accents we can bet our asses that there is going to be a russian hero somewhere along the line. And if we're going to base our hero on videogame logic he/she is probably going to be a Talon operative.

Not complaining per se, but I don't see why people put their hands down their pantaloon and shlick themselves into retards over Tracers voice. Whatever floats their boats and what not.

Odd thing is that Tracer's accent isn't the thing that annoys me; it's the bloody giggling.

lmfao just read somebodies post on what they think of the game. They called Tracer Australian.....

[QUOTE=greeley;46517337]lmfao just read somebodies post on what they think of the game. They called Tracer Australian.....[/QUOTE] If they ever do voice packs, they totally need to make a turbo-stereotypical Australian one for Tracer. "Oi Mercy ya cunt, chuck us a heal and a ciggie mate!"

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;46517474]If they ever do voice packs, they totally need to make a turbo-stereotypical Australian one for Tracer. "Oi Mercy ya cunt, chuck us a heal and a ciggie mate!"[/QUOTE] Almost as bad as Ty the Tasmanian Tiger

[QUOTE=Askaris;46517278]Odd thing is that Tracer's accent isn't the thing that annoys me; it's the bloody giggling.[/QUOTE] um, excuse you, Tracer's giggling is the cutest.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;46516615]unless your game is trying to be a realistic shooter with 2 sides that have a distinct foreign accent (to britbongs and amerifats) its likely going to have exaggerated dumb accents, which is fun and why are people complaining about that?[/QUOTE] Because it's annoying. There's no principle behind it, Tracer's accent genuinely makes me want to strangle puppies.

I was bored and decided to make an Overwatch wallpaper. [t]http://s14.directupload.net/images/141119/4oigkvfd.png[/t] I hope there are going to be more stocks to use soon, the quality of the artwork isn't the best.

maybe theyll surprise us for Christmas and announce an early beta

[QUOTE=Mizo;46525063]btw how do you pronounce Torbjorn's name?[/QUOTE] easiest way to pronounce it is to start with: "to" like in tomato and add "rb" = Torb, try to hold on to the O for a little longer than usual. tooorb. Then just say earn with an y in front. Yearn = jörn. Toooorb-Yearn!

Google translate has a feature where you can listen to how the word sounds when pronounced, just use that.

[url]http://www.forvo.com/word/torbj%C3%B6rn/[/url] This is a pretty good pronunciation. Altough, the man who recorded it also decided to become a zombie just before recording judging from his not-at-all enthusiasm.

I'm just gonna' call him dwarf.

[QUOTE=Rufia;46527305]I'm just gonna' call him dwarf.[/QUOTE] why, just cuz he's short?
