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

[QUOTE=rysunles;49058255][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/2AJAmBM.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] this is gonna end up like titanfall/evolve isn't it

[QUOTE=rysunles;49058255][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/2AJAmBM.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] The name makes it seem like it'll be F2P and this is just to get all the launch content. Hopefully we'll get a more concrete answer tomorrow.

I have a hard time believing this game won't be F2P. It has that feeling. Maybe this is just one of those deluxe packages or something.

[QUOTE=rysunles;49058255][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/2AJAmBM.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] What?

If this game is f2p it better be fucking boss with the anti-cheat and have a very smart microtransaction system.

[QUOTE=rysunles;49058255][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/2AJAmBM.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] What the hell? This isn't like some distant thing people are going to gamestop and buying it right now.

[quote]Expected release is on or before June 21st 2016[/quote] I wonder how accurate that is

[QUOTE=Mikemaximum;49058294]this is gonna end up like titanfall/evolve isn't it[/QUOTE] Titanfall was a success though. Evolve was an immediate letdown.

I'm still just wondering how they even kept this a secret. Fallout 4 has been on streams all week yet this is just a complete surprise.

[QUOTE=Mikemaximum;49058294]this is gonna end up like titanfall/evolve isn't it[/QUOTE] Titanfall and Evolve failed for different reasons. Titanfall was a success, even, at release. It only failed because it didn't have nearly enough content to justify its pricetag.

Most certainly a booster product. Why would they name the base product "Origins Edition" and advertise that it comes with 21 Heroes, 5 Skins and countless other items for other games like as if it was a special edition, if it wasn't one? That seems very unlikely.

[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;49058416]Also the fact that it seems to be a giant box with something collectible inside.[/QUOTE] Those are empty, they're just a cheaper and less space consuming alternative to standees. Gamestop likes to scatter them around their stores.

So GAME has this list as the contents of the Origins Edition: [quote]Origins Edition Includes: 21 Heroes 5 skins: Blackwatch Reyes (Reaper) Strike-Commander Morrison (Soldier: 76) Overgrown Bastion Security Chief Pharah Slipstream Tracer Overwatch-themed content for several Blizzard Entertainment games: Heroes of the Storm™ - Tracer Hero World of Warcraft® - Baby Winston Pet StarCraft® II Portraits Hearthstone® Cardback Diablo® III - Mercy Wings[/quote]

Well you add the 3 un-added heroes and that equals 21. I doubt they'd make 21 more and if they go back on their "every hero will be free" thing people will be livid.

[QUOTE=Skyward;49058633]I don't like the implications there.[/QUOTE] "includes 21 heroes" [B][I]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[/I][/B]

Also where the hell did this come from? It seems to have just randomly popped up.

I'm just going to wait until official word. I'd rather have the full story from the devs of what's going on than strings of separate images and questionable sources.

Buying heroes is the dumbest shit ever.

[QUOTE=Zeos;49058726]Buying heroes is the dumbest shit ever.[/QUOTE] It started with heroes of the storm and i guess it was profitable enough to apply it here. So expect free rotations every week if this is true.

[QUOTE=Skyward;49058714]Did they ever officially state that?[/QUOTE] they've always said that they don't know the business model but they heavily implied they want all heroes to be free

Well at least we'll find out all the details tomorrow.

If they announce you have to buy heroes and there'll be a weekly free hero rotation, then my hype train will officially derail off a cliff into the ocean. So let's hope the news tomorrow is good.
