What do you all think of Blizzard's Overwatch?

I think this game looks like a lot of fun. It has that TF2 vibe mixed in with a lot of other styles of gameplay, and it just looks like a blast. I want to try it out. Also, the trailer was really well made and had more life, character, and personality to it than just about all of Destiny's campaign. :P

Is this for PC or consoles? Looks pretty good.

Not sure. I'm going to assume PC is a given since it's Blizzard, and maybe consoles as a bonus?

It has a great trailer, Blizzard knows how to nail em. It reminded me of The Incredibles, like 50's optimistic superhero and TF2. They seem to be taking cues from Disney Infinity in terms of design. I mean, I'd buy a fig of the gorilla with glasses right now if it was available.

I think this was more like the initial pitch Bungie was making for Destiny, being a return to optimistic sci-fi. That being said, I don't think Destiny's subject matter could ever allow Overwatch levels of optimism.

In terms of gameplay, they seem to be aiming at a more objective goals where the player doesn't die as often as your current shooter. It'll be interesting to see how you empower the player if the kill times are much slower. Still need to see more on this.

Love the art style, comic book fun. Looks good.

Blizzard does know how to make a good trailer.

Watched the individual gameplay videos they have available, it's definitely very very TF2esque. I'm a little bit tickled that Blizzards first new IP in 17 years is derivative of a longstanding Valve product.

The movement abilities and super powers seem to be the biggest departure from TF2, but ultimately it appears to be a fairly straightforward and simplistic team shooter (a handful of weapons and abilities for each character).

It is reported that some of this stuff is leftover from the failed Titan project, I guess they took some of its assets and turned it into this team based shooter. Not a bad use of leftover resources, it could be fun.

Overwatch Trailer

Overwatch Gameplay Trailer

TF2 with asymmetric balancing? Count me in.

I love that you can see how Blizzard arrived at Overwatch from Titan. It's like they salvaged all the shooty aspects and built a TF2-style game around it.

Also, I don't think it'll be coming to console.

They aren't going to let the team that ported Diablo 3 just sit there.

Also, the game looks like it may play a lot like Destiny, what with each character clearly having "supers" - I thought that was interesting.

I'm guessing F2P with a boatload of mini-transactions.

Pure speculation, but they may follow a MOBA structure, mainly, a couple free heroes each week for you to try and you have to pay after your hero disappears to keep playing with them. I was against it for a long time, but LoL is pretty fun and I've only spent about $10 on it.

I know, right?! And then the Legacy of the Void trailer. Fun fun. Who knew Blizzard would make me the most excited for things when there's MCC and Destiny? 343 is selling me the Bungie games I already own, and Bungie dropped the ball hardcore. I hope Blizzard delivers some awesome products.

First thought watching: Blizzard had so much fun in the process of making this. I'm so Jelly.
"Tracer" is what I imagined being a Hunter was going to be like. *sigh*
BLIZZARD. MAKE A MOVIE ALREADY!
