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

Still no news on this game. I'm eager to see what that enormously fat bandit-looking character is all about, along with the katana and cowboy guy, of course, since the fat guy reminds me of an Anarchy Reigns cha- Wait a minute, I just realized practically [I]half of these characters[/I] look like Anarchy Reigns characters, And i don't think it just cause they're all aug'd up either. [IMG]http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/anarchyreigns/images/2/28/Edgar_Oinkie.png/revision/latest?cb=20140426044513[/IMG] Tell me I'm not imagining this, I can post more similarities if needed. Not exactly a bad thing, but very strange. Maybe Blizz picked up a Plat character designer?

I was looking at Heroes of the Storm lately and noticed this on one of Tychus' alt skins. [img]http://i.imgur.com/WXUgLrG.jpg[/img] :v:

Theres some rumor going on [QUOTE]Regarding Overwatch, the insider says the business model is still in flux. They are trying to decide between a free-to-play or expansion type focused model. No matter what, you will initially be able to play the game for free, but how you pay for heroes is still to be decided. The development team is pushing to launch the game this year, but senior executives are skeptical it can be done by then according to the source. There is a tiny chance for a December release, but it’s more likely to come out in early 2016 at this stage.[/QUOTE] source: [url]http://firstadopter.tumblr.com/post/109489028909/exclusive-activision-blizzard-insider-says[/url] :suicide: [editline]2nd February 2015[/editline] If thats really true, it'll mean that I have to play TF2 for another goddamn year

Pink hair on Zarya is doing too much[url=http://i.imgur.com/IMD02tC.jpg].[/url] Glad to see more characters though. Balancing those abilities is going to be interesting.

Doing too much what?

[QUOTE=Skyward;47272075]Doing too much what?[/QUOTE] Too much FABULOUS

[QUOTE=earthdefence;47271352]just heard Beta will start Fall 2015 kinda disappointed.. was hoping it would be sooner[/QUOTE] you got source for that?

[QUOTE=Prollgurke;47272787]you got source for that?[/QUOTE] Blizz announced it today at Pax.

[QUOTE=Skyward;47272075]Doing too much what?[/QUOTE] Whenever I have to explain slang it makes me feel like I should be wearing a fucking snapback with some ray bans. It feels unnecessary, all that color. Zarya's design itself isn't terrible, but the pink hair seems like "too much", like they're trying to hard to do something that didn't need to be done in the first place. Reminds me of those "how-to make a character for tumblr" images. The colorscheme of her armor and her hair (when combined) just aren't very appealing imo.

Eh, it doesn't bother me. In a futuristic world where we have hyper-intelligent-cyber-gorillas, pink hair doesn't seem like it's too crazy.

It's not that it's crazy or far-fetched, it's that it is ugly and unappealing. Who the hell is complaining that it is unrealistic?

Calm down, I'm just saying giving the look the game is going for it doesn't seem like it's too much in my opinion. I just don't think it's unappealing at all.

[QUOTE=Skyward;47273371]Calm down[/QUOTE] Calm down? I guess I should put my clothes back on and stop slapping my dick onto my keyboard then, thanks for that advice bruh. I was about to fall off the deep end. Pink/Blue scheme is one of the more generic and unappealing combinations imo. One of the reasons I think that the game got such a positive initial reaction was because the character designs were on point. Just disappointed in the color palette they chose to stick her with, because her design otherwise (I like her armor) is very nice.

But apparently Zarya is designed after a real life Blizzard employee ...with pink hair: [t]https://31.media.tumblr.com/3fba2fc396ab7137454bb362f9e587f7/tumblr_inline_nkvebxT3VI1sqom29.jpg[/t] [editline]9th March 2015[/editline] She worked on diablo 3, this is the da site: [url]http://firstkeeper.deviantart.com/gallery/[/url] I'm still not sure if this is true though

Must have been hard to get out of Aperture.

Any more news on this game, guys? I've still not recieved any invite to beta and haven't heard anything from anywhere about updates from it. Has it just died a little?

Last I heard was Beta coming this fall/winter. Also, more heroes at this years E3.
