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

[QUOTE=Rufia;49030999]I just want to see more/better in game dialogue. TF2 does a great job of getting a lot of character across on that alone but Overwatch's in game dialogue feels a bit lacking.[/QUOTE] Probably to reduce noise clutter. Overwatch places heavy emphasis on audio queues, particularly with hero ultimates. It would be frustrating that you couldn't hear the rumbling of Junkrat's ultimate coming for you till you're already dead because your character was too busy having an otherwise meaningless (gameplay-wise) conversation with another character. Edit: [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r2TLt8ok4k"]Another good example is being able to distinguish characters by their footsteps.[/URL]

I love the different footsteps characters make. 2 things I especially love is how loud and high pitched all the walking is for the female characters with heels and Junkrats everything. His animations, his sounds; everything is just a complete bliss about that character's design.

I actually really love this game's massive usage of audio cues. I didn't even know it went further beyond stuff like weapon sounds and ultimate callouts, the footstep variance is so damn cool. And I know it just makes sense, but the fact that Zenyatta is completely silent is so cool lol

He's easily my favorite [I]looking [/I]character in the game. Hoping I'll enjoy playing him too. I'm not usually into healers, but his kit looks really fun to use.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;49029591]I want to defend him, but "DIE DIE DIE DIE" is pretty damn edgy. Fuck it, nothing wrong with liking an edgy character once in awhile[/QUOTE] When he ulted he used to say "TIME TO REAP". I hope they bring it back for some variance.

JUSTICE....RAENS FROM ABAHVE

NOW WORRIS LUV, CHVALRYS 'ERE ;) YOU NEED A TOIME AUT WICKED WEE

blizzard pls release d.va footage.

I like that little honk Bastion makes when it goes tank mode.

[QUOTE=Qaus;49032102]blizzard pls release d.va footage.[/QUOTE] I assume Blizzcon will end up having that, cosmetic reveals and a pricing model.

[QUOTE=CB1993;49031647]When he ulted he used to say "TIME TO REAP". I hope they bring it back for some variance.[/QUOTE] TTR was way better than DDD, I hate that they changed it.

[QUOTE=Sandvich9;49029576]Does Reaper just throw away his shotguns when he reloads? Dunno if it's just me seeing things, but it looks hilarious.[/QUOTE] Yes, they also physically stay in the world for a while.

Just noticed that Reinhardt has the same voice actor as [b][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSCz27eBLes]WIIINDS! OBEY MY COMMANDS![/url][/b] Or at least, I'm pretty sure. They sound similar enough.

[QUOTE=Xenophobia;49030353]I dont think we will get much more story or elaboration on characters in-game, but hasn't some devs spoken about more pixar-ish animations, comics or stories outside of the game? They've created this big universe and filled it with interesting characters. Not using them or letting us to get to know them better would be wierd and a waste.[/QUOTE] Watching some streams I've seen that some characters have map-specific setup time lines. I heard Zenyatta say something like "Wonderful, a place where omnic and human live as equals..." when spawning on Numbani. We might get some rival (Reap and 76) lines too if we're lucky.

News alert from the world of Overwatch! [URL="http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/19942649"]Here's a few entries from the journal of one Mei-Ling Zhou[/URL] chronicling her latest adventures in documenting "abnormal climate phenomena". Definitely cause for speculation with BlizzCon coming up. Another new hero? Perhaps a new map?

Cyber Ninja when

[QUOTE=Dmaster;49036296]Cyber Ninja when[/QUOTE] More D.va info when

[QUOTE=overwatch blog]Speaking of which, I've been here in the Yukon, near Mount Logan, field-testing my new gear. I've recovered from some early "issues" (my arm still hurts from being frozen solid a few days ago… so embarrassing!)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=overwatch blog]I came upon a part of the trail that was impassable and that would have required me to take a big detour. But not today! I just built my own walkway with the diffuser and went right across it. It's going to be a great help in the mountains—I know it![/QUOTE] I'm guessing she's a (support?) hero that can freeze enemies/make ice structures? Might allow teammates without much mobility (like bastion) reach places they usually couldn't, which would be nice. Does anyone think it's possible blizzard would reveal all three of the hinted-at heroes (D.Va, Mei, Genji) at blizzcon?

I think us getting at least one new hero announced at Blizzcon is guaranteed.

D.Va is almost definitely going to be a blizzcon reveal ([URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/3qwif0/dva_info_confirmed_mostly_for_blizzcon/[/URL])

no reveal for Zhou Mei-Ling?

It is possible for a multi-hero reveal like what happened with Junkrat and Roadhog but you never know.
