[QUOTE=Eva-1337;49904369]I honestly feel the closed beta was just used to drum up publicity using streamers and youtubers for free marketing, with maybe a handful of Blizzard favorites (i.e. my buddy with years subscribed to WoW) getting beta invites as well.
It really sucks that open beta people only get a couple days to play and pre-order people's reward are a couple more days [B]in the middle of the week[/B].
As I said before, it eats an entire ass.[/QUOTE]
It's because that's exactly what it was/is.

You know what I found out just yesterday? Elias Toufexis (Adam Jensen) voices the main character Takkar in Far Cry: Primal. I would have never known that if the Deus Ex twitter didn't repost that augmented caveman image.

Really? I recognized him in [URL="https://youtu.be/LJ2iH57Fs3M?t=14s"]the game's reveal trailer[/URL] the moment he opened his mouth. The dude's got an awesome voice, but it's without a doubt one of the most recognizable in the industry.
It is impossible not to recognize him in Canada, he has done voice work for so many advertisements

How do you all think the game is gonna fare on console? TF2 console was garbage.

Doubt it'll do well on consoles tbh.

Diablo III did well on consoles. It entirely depends on how well they market it. It's an FPS at the end of the day and there's a big market for those on consoles, obviously.

TF2 was shit on consoles because they never updated it. As long as Blizz keeps Overwatch up to date on every system, I don't see why it wouldn't do well.
TF2 has/had an active enough playerbase on 360 despite not being updated or being geared towards controllers, so if Blizzard put effort into it it should fare pretty well.
Blizzard is so obsessed with perfection I'm pretty sure it will be optimized pretty well on consoles. I'm sure they'll also update it with new content along side the PC version as well.
[QUOTE=Damjen;49900058]They wanted someone who
A) sounds Swiss
B) speaks German[/QUOTE]
What's the point of having a German voice actor if she speaks like 3 words in German and the rest is perfect English?
What's the point of having a Swiss voice actor if those 3 words are spoken in High-German instead of Swiss-German dialect?
She doesn't sound particularly Swiss to me.
I think that we'll forget about the VA change as time passes and the new one grows on us, but right now she sounds so off.

- Exclusive premiere on Xbox.com.[/QUOTE]
For all of 30 seconds it takes someone to upload it on youtube
[QUOTE=Damjen;49952429]For all of 30 seconds it takes someone to upload it on youtube[/QUOTE]
Followed by a copyright strike that has it removed from YT.
Of course, before that happens... [url]http://www.clipconverter.cc/[/url]
Doesn't really matter tbh, it's just hosted on another site that anyone can still watch.
Lmao that xbox exclusive premiere
They are trying really hard but console overwatch is going to be as dead as console tf2 and csgo, its just not happening

If Blizzard keeps it updated and up to par with the PC version, which they most likely will, then you're wrong.
Aye, we don't really know how tf2 and csgo would have fared on consoles had they been updated properly, even without updates they still managed a small but consistent playerbase

Which given D3 they have a good track record with, no?

Microsoft wanted to charge for the DLCs while Valve wanted them to be released for free. So they didn't do it at all.

The playerbase wasn't big enough for it to be worth the effort so they just gave up on it
This isn't CoD or Halo, PC focused shooters have a garbage record for doing well on console

Here's an explanation for L4D: [url]http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/l4d1-dlc-pricing-not-valves-decision[/url]
[quote]Valve's Chet Faliszek has told Eurogamer that upcoming downloadable Left 4 Dead 1 expansion Crash Course costs money on Xbox Live because Microsoft insisted upon it.[/quote]
Eh, wherever the short is premiering, I'll watch it. Doesn't make a difference to me.
Besides, it's been said it'll be on the game's official YouTube later on.

in reply to the unbolded
Is it me or does Pharah's rocket launcher sound similar to the Quake 3 rocket launcher?
Looks like that Overwatch short film is beginning shortly.

Pretty well animated. Then again, Blizzard's cinematics have always been near top tier.
I loved it. I can't [I]wait[/I] to see more of these!
