Overwatch

I really enjoy the artstyle and how each class performs with eachother, going alone is a death sentence in this game as Zenyatta will slap on a orb of discord and then any class can take you down in a few seconds.

In what I've seen for this game though, people call it a TF2 clone because it has classes and the medic has a 'med-gun' but just slapping on the term TF2 clone or even TF2 based game is not really a fair statement to make on Overwatch, at least in my opinion as that game has essentially killed itself over the past couple of years and updates, its comsetics over gameplay now and you can't play on a server without everyone doing a conga line, then getting yelled at because you wanted to play like intended.

So new character and new environments announced during Gamescom.

gib beta pls :hurg:

Lucio's gameplay preview is also out:

I must say... the level art is pretty amazing. :cool:

The maps do look pretty great.

I've gotta say though, I've yet to see a single character that I like. In terms of "personality" they seem really annoying and quite vapid, and in terms of visual design it seems to be a case of quantity (of design features/aspects) over quality.

This game is obviously targeted at kids with that style. I'm imagining so much flame wars in game.

I think it's fine, the cartoonish style works and the gameplay seems mostly aimed towards casual play, and right now I am seeing lots of people are giving up on Dirty Bomb because of lack of working anticheat (competitive mode is often hackers vs hackers), many issues (you could teleport with a console command ffs), and slow updates, praying that Overwatch being the next big thing ... unless of course Splash Damage fixes the current major issues. But for that to happen, Overwatch needs tools for the competitive scene such as good spectator HUD, demotools, and dedicated server software. However with the outrageous abilities and whatnot, it might just be as fun TF2 competitive: like watching paint dry.

With that said, lets find ways to fall into a coma and wake up in October for the beta ... maybe.

Here's the video introducing our two new characters! Roadhog and Junkrat

This game just shot to the top of David Cameron's Steam wishlist. Phwoar.

The characters feel hella-distinct. I think this will be cool.

The first phase of the Closed Beta will deploy on October 27 in the Americas gameplay region, and players may be added gradually to start (with more being invited as new features are ready to test). During this time, we'll continue to make preparations for our Europe and Asia gameplay regions—our goal is to have Europe come online next, with Asia following at a later date.

[anger intensifies]

Okay so the closed beta is now live, even in Europe, and I didn't get a mail or have any Install button for the beta. I am sad now.

I know that feeling :I hoping for next time

Be patient, invites are being sent slowly.

Meanwhile, there's a lot of streamers, seeing people play the game is so fucking awesome man.

Edit: Fixed link.

Stop the self-congratulation already and send us some beta access Heldus Pintus. :fist::fist::fist:

Gratz too, the game looks rad !

Well boys, looks like we got bummed in the gob :gonk:
