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

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;49065538]"DIE DIE DIE" I thought "Nerf this" was kinda funny because that move looks fucking godawful. Takes so long to blow up.[/QUOTE] The idea is you throw it out, and everyone around has to get the hell out before it blows or they're dead. The AoE looks pretty big, and the damage looks good, it's not a bad ult by any means. It fits with her playstyle pretty well I'd say. Run in -> sustain damage and attention while your team falls in behind you -> toss your ult out before losing the mech and fight with your team to clean up the panicking/fleeing defenders.

I'm honestly glad that you have to pay $40 for it, I feel like it being f2p would only ruin the quality of the game. I think its a pretty reasonable price too, don't get why everyone is acting like its so expensive when in reality it isn't.

i hope that someday blizzard shows us what project titan looked like and how these overwatch characters fit into it

its looking like the overwatch press conference wont be streamed to non digital ticket viewers? The event is supposed to start in 20 mins i think but a HoTs tournament just started

Kinda like a Kritz Demo. Even if he doesn't kill you you get the fuck out of there immediately. I retract my statement.

Panel time

I really like that slipstream Tracer, she looks even more waifu with aviators

I like it because it gets rid of those enormous hot orange pants :v:

just wish i could hear the artists talking about it ;( [img]http://i.imgur.com/Bx8Lvbs.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Takuat;49065922]Panel time[/QUOTE] You can witness it (in text form) for free here: [url]https://www.reddit.com/live/vvhj0vqp99z8[/url] The only thing that's interesting at the moment is development trivia and some details about Hollywood. Also, [B]no crossplay.[/B]

[QUOTE=usaokay;49063293][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXUkAQyzb6g[/media][/QUOTE] I think it was a bad call to unmask Reaper (this early, at least), even if it was a little obvious. You were able to kind of look past his wackiness when he was a weird guy running around in a Grim Reaper getup, but he just looks utterly ridiculous when he's a regular tactical-looking guy. Not a big deal by any stretch of the word, but still.

Although if they held off and unmasked him to be this average tacticool guy like 2 years down the line that'd be even more disappointing, especially if the game does get an ongoing and continuous narrative in some form. Unless it went full TF2 and we got a Reaper vs 76 update and they both got reveals then. I do wanna know what made him go from tactical latino to goofy edgy guy with magic powers though.

[QUOTE]Deflect [Genji's E] redirects all projectiles towards your cursors' location. He can reflect everything, including zarya ult (good god) [/QUOTE] That's totally fair for a normal skill Blizzard.

By the way, isn't the beta open for this weekend?

Confirmed for not knowing what they're doing with future heroes/dodging the question.

Man that reaper skin is AWWWFUL.

Also, Genji's actual gameplay looks pretty disappointing. It's like holy fuck Ninjaman we gonna be RAIDEN but he only actually pulls his sword out for his ultimate and you're just stuck with shurikens most of the time. Guess I'm disappointed in this because if any of you have ever played Blacklight: Retribution, the katana/cloaking device combo in that is probably the closest I've come to feeling like Gray Fox in a multiplayer game. That shit was awesome. Was looking for something similar here, super fragile and speedy with lethal melee attacks.

[QUOTE=Takuat;49066226]Confirmed for not knowing what they're doing with future heroes/dodging the question.[/QUOTE] To me it means they totally want to have heros as a paid thing.

[QUOTE=Damjen;49066163]That's totally fair for a normal skill Blizzard.[/QUOTE] Can two Genji play volleyball?

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;49066246]Can two Genji play volleyball?[/QUOTE] Since you can play skip with two Mercies I think it's plausible.

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;49066245]To me it means they totally want to have heros as a paid thing. They said he was super OP with the sword out all the time[/QUOTE] Yeah, but what's the point otherwise? I wouldn't have minded him having like one hitpoint as long as it recreated that feel.

Just now signed up for the beta and given my history of immediately getting in to closed betas people have been waiting months for I'm expecting an invite any second now.

Wow what a meh panel. All we got was some cool art and a sideways step answer about paid heros

Welp that was a whole load of nothing except dev speak, was hoping they'd finally talk about how skins work and how/if microtransactions will be done. Lore panel tomorrow at 11:30 apparently. [quote=Jeff Kaplan] Go play the game ;^)[/quote] ur one cheeky cunt m8
