Blizzcon 2019

[Tisky]

So it is that time of the year again. Blizzcon is getting close and i dont think that the hype has been bigger than than ever before. Rumors of Bolvar/Lich king return I'm Wow, rumors of Overwatch 2, rumors of Diablo 4 AND Diablo 2 remaster. Even saw some streamers discussing a whole new IP being revealed. 

One thing is for sure, I can't wait! Might even buy a Virtual Ticket for this one. Can't be as bad as last year right?

Is this actually a thing?? Pay to watch a stream? Greediness has no limits.

The best part is, beyond in game items there is no actual point to buyign a virtual ticket, people will re-stream it else ware and alot of the time blizzard posts highlights

To be fair, it probably has to do with people paying money to go to the actual convention  , if it streamed free at home why would anyone visit? Its pretty expensive tho!

Apple WWDC costs $1600 to participate, sells out in a matter of hours if not minutes, yet the keynote stream is live and free. The  workshop sessions are also available after the event.

E3 costs $250 and is covered by different websites in real time, plus publishers have their own streams.

Even Star Citizen, the most heavily monetised legal rip-off joke of a game, has tickets for $140 but a free stream.

Have you ever been to a concert? You don’t pay just for the content of the presentation when you decide to attend, there’s a suite of other benefits from networking, to trying the products presented etc.

You can watch most of the stuff for free on the Blizzcon website, you only need a virtual ticket if you really want to watch every single panel (and the closing ceremony).

Seems like there’s gonna be some big news! surely some exciting stuff on the way...

Oh fuck yeah.

ridiculously good trailer, over the top good

Overwatch 2 trailer!

Both Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 seem like they're iterations on the old engines, which is fine. I guess Diablo 4's trailer just wowed me a bit more, if I'm honest? Hopefully more stuff comes out that shows why people who may not have played Overwatch 1 that much should tune into the sequel. The co-op PVE stuff is nice, but the robots don't seem to have a ton of personality as villains, I can't get too excited about the prospect of fighting them.

[Tisky]

I Love that all old progress, like unlocked skins etc, comes with you in Overwatch 2. Gotta say the cinematics were amazing. Diablo 4 cinematic had me and My Friend screaming like girls at a Justin Bieber concert.

An for Overwatch, a Gothenburg map, woooh. Can't wait to see future IKEA haha!

Noice HP Easter eggs!

[PogoP]

Love the fact that D4 is going back to the roots a bit more. That looked great, if maybe slightly tooooo desaturated? Still way more up my street than D3 Nice work all. 

New Overwatch patch looks good
