Blizzard Overwatch

OK, so the whole Pixar-style Tracer/Winston trailer was pretty fun.

Still, kinda not feeling the reason why this even exists.

Remember when Blizzard sold a WoW mount for $25 and then it made like practically a million an hour? YEAHHHHHHHā€¦

Wouldnā€™t be surprised if they took the hustle route either.

The designs of characters look simple enough to add extra costumes, hats etc. This might be Blizzardā€™s way of trying more micro-transactions.
I hope Iā€™m not jinxing it.

I used to be really into Halo and Cod, i know, those dudebro gamesā€¦still loads of fun. Havenā€™t really played an FPS actively in a few years, this game i probably going to be the one pulling me back.
I usually only like a few character designs from games where you can choose different characters/classe but surprisingly i like the vast majority of them. Glad it isnā€™t a ā€œrealisticā€ looking game either, done with that shit.

Last fps I played was MAG and I played that shit till the bitter end of the servers. Well very nearly, the game modes werent even filling up any more. I can use another team shooter in my life lol

Game looks like trash. Pixar meets TF2. After SF4 it no longer surprises me when people praise horrible character design.

Almost every Blizzard title before Warcraft 3 says hi.

Pfft, the ape character not being soviet. Stay free Blizzard:

^Awesome.

Although Winston = Ronimo (***Rob***ot***i***c***Mo***nkey)

I think its pretty close in style to awesomenauts, only blizz is better and not just 2d art but full models

Looking good i say. Bet there is already Rule 34 stuff of tracer already and yo need this!!!

Ohā€¦oh my. Time to do some researchā€¦

I try to not comment as to not shit on yā€™alls paradeā€¦ but ***Cā€™MON SONā€¦ STATUES ALREADY?!?


At least prove yourself as a product first before you start with merchandisingā€¦ Smash has the Amiibos, but hell, itā€™s Smash.

EDIT: $150?! GODDAMN THEY HAVE NO SHAME

Never underestimate weebs and their potential waifu buying habits. $150 is standard price for them.

Also you donā€™t understand the figurine buying market. Thereā€™s plenty that would gladly buy a figure from a game they wonā€™t ever play and plenty that would buy the figure just from that trailer alone.

For statues the main product doesnā€™t need to prove itā€™s worth. The appeal of the character design is all thatā€™s needed to sell statues.

You seriously canā€™t be defending thisā€¦ They havenā€™t even established the universe yet.
They arenā€™t in a position to be so sure in the product to be selling $150 statues.

I literally do not understand my peers anymoreā€¦ No one questions anything; Itā€™s all hype and flash now.

$150 is around the standard price for these kind of statues. Having statues already donā€™t bother me has itā€™s a product of purely decorative value. Said if Blizzard already had pre-orders available, season passes or some shit like that Iā€™ll be with you.

Time to send Po straight into Akirabara for someā€¦ insight on that consumer market. Or to the next Blizzcon and help this man buy his future collection of Sylvanas statues.

This is my last post in here but seriouslyā€¦ We arenā€™t even talking about the game right now*(because thereā€™s nothing to talk about yet)*ā€¦ But they got merch out the assā€¦

The whole thing just reeks of being built in a corporate board room meeting. Only thing it needs are Xtreme Cool Letterzā„¢ and the marketing scheme is complete.

I am seriously dumbfounded right nowā€¦

There is something to talk about, the game is playable and Iā€™ve played it. Granted most people havenā€™t at this point.

I wanted to buy that statue but restrained myself lol

$150 is standard for a statue like that.

If I wasnā€™t already caught up in getting some doujins & figues for other stuff I may have popped down the money for this lol. If they make one for Zenyatta I may not be able to resist.

Curious, how open were the levels for characters like Hanzo & Widow Maker to move around in? Also do characters have varying health totals?
