I'm having mixed feeling about this game,on the other hand,first time Blizz doing FPS is interesting,on the other,it seems to be TF2 rip off,still,it's not that people didn't ripped off DOTA to dry though.

Can't say I feel the magic. But the genre is really not my cup of tea, so...

I hear Blizzard... but I see a mediocre FPS not aimed at what I like in the genre... like most of the shit released for the past decade

I hear Blizzard and I think "won't be playable at launch because the hamsters powering the servers will collapse despite them having a decade and a half of experience with some of the most successful MP games ever" as well as "6 months in it'll be simplified to hell and back". |

In my case if it's yes-> so not interested.
Never got into their SC IP. Which is quite remarkable seeing I'm such a scifi fan xD

This has nothing on TF2. Come release day, TF2 will own this so bad, it won't even be funny anymore.

nope.
hots will get a big chunck of dota 2. even on this alpha stage i prefer to play hots instead of dota 2.
overwatch will get a big chunk of tf2 aswell. why ? because you know that blizzard copy paste a lot of good ideas, but they do that making them to the next level (usually).
like i said, i'm disappointed of this announcement (i was hoping for warcraft 4), but still a team fps with 5+ different classes to play (and synergies) is nothing to sneeze about it.
tf2 is pretty much stalled since launch.

There is no getting better at this than TF2, imho. That is a perfectly crafted game. I won't go in to details, because there are many reasons for this. Time will tell the truth. But I'm willing to bet money on TF2 being superior to this.
Of course millions of fanbois will still play, that is the way of BlizzSheep.

HOTS and DOTA 2 is not even remotely comparable.

oh oh
Looking at it closer, looks like that "company" just took the same name and quickly filed it too.
Just so they can make some money when Blizzard will try to get the name back in their hands
Because oddly enough, that "company" started surfacing around the same time Blizzard announced this.

More info from PAX east:
| Quote: | Overwatch discussion, Jeff Kaplan:
-At Blizzcon, Overwatch was announced. This is Blizzard's first foray into FPS games. Lots of passion at Blizz to make a great shooter. "What makes this game Blizzard?" Game takes place in bright, vibrant future, full of heroes. Game is about heroes. Blizzard is a "hero factory".
-Lore discussion of Overwatch - map discussion, then new map discussion of Watchpoint: Gibraltar. Relates to lore history of Overwatch crew - bringing the "band" back together. Winston, the gorilla, is trying to put Overwtach back together.
-How are you going to tell stories in Overwatch? Look at details in the game such as the Blackboards in Winston's laboratory, the spawning point for heroes.
-Watchpoint Gibraltar Training Video
-Fun map, full payload map vs. Capture Point map/Hybrid maps. Cool map design elements including a choke point dubbed "The Car Wash."
-There's a hero out there for everyone that speak to different fantasies.
-2 new Heroes
-The Outlaw Jesse McCree, a deadeye with his revolver. Snipe people across the map, fun alternate fire. Flash bang ability, good combo ability with a stun. Can also combat roll, gives mobility. Highly skilled players will combo the roll that reloads the revolver. His ultimate ability is called Deadeye, he holsters the Peacekeeper and moves slowly, taking a count of everyone in front of him in LOS. Any skulls appear on them means a fatal shot - McCree fires again and takes all those fatal shots.
-McCree Training Video
-McCree brought to life by 'fantasy fulfillment' - Overwatch brough to life by diverse, heroic fantasies.
-First female tank: Zarya
-Championship weightlifter, extremely competitive but strife broke out near her village and put her dreams aside to defend her homeland.
-Defined by: Lawful good, hero, who you want to be when you grow up.
-Driven by diversity in video games, diversity in body types. We want you to know we're listening and trying hard and hope Zarya is a step in the right direction that we're paying attention.
-Weapon: Particle Cannon. Beam attack shoots out about 15 metres in front of her. Short to medium range since she's a tank. Alternate fire is AOE particle explosion you can lob like a grenade.
-Cannon can also put a particle barrier on her or allies, and blocks LOS.
-Cool resource mechanic - as the barrier takes damage, the power on the center of her reticule goes up to 100 and the higher that goes the more damage her weapon does.
-Ultimate: Graviton Surge - gravity well that sucks in enemies. Combos well with other abilities from other characters.
-Zarya Training Video
-Recap: Gibraltar, McCree, Zarya - all available to try at PAX.
-Beta is coming this fall - sign up at PlayOverwatch.com |
