Chcgamer just played the game at Blizzcon.

damn jealous

Already signed up for beta, hopefully I can get it!!

Same here. But surely we'll get it. They want to grow their fanbase

No doubt. I just cant see that they will be giving out all 12 heroes for free and all the subsequent ones.

If its like HotS, i doubt i'll be interested.

i thought u need to pay for heart of the swarm

I said Heroes of the Storm.

ohhh say ma

due to heart of the swarm, blizz's official "abbreviation" for heroes of the storm = heroes

Looks like they found a use for their abandoned Project Titan asset.

Some how I have a feeling Blizzard looks at Gearbox's Battleborn and suddenly they feel they need to make 1 that is about the same too, and hence, Overwatch is born.

urgghh

blizzard can't come up with an original idea

I'm skeptical on this, looks like UT + TF2 + DOTA heros

I read somewhere where an ex-Blizzard artist said that this is Titan at its earlier days. Or a specific PvP mode in Titan. The Wraith character was one of the very early character made for Titan.

I am not surprised as after spending so many years on Titan, they cant just dump everything and start anew. They probably salvage some of it and turn it into another game.

If this is going to be a FPS MOBA then it'll be interesting. But since it's objective based, i'm not sure how interesting is it for audience to watch it (Bliz mentioned they wanted it to be on e-sports or something).

Some of the heroes skills like Reaper. 2 non-damage skills: Wraith Form (some sort of escape mech) and Shadow Step (more like a blink for surprise attack). The hellfire shotguns more likely just a normal attack and Death Blossom is the Ulti.

One skill less than typical MOBA and not sure if heroes have levels or items (i doubt there's any).

Hello guys, I've just came back from Blizzcon and Blizzard office

I've tested Overwatch for about 20 minutes

Here are some of my personal feelings:
1) Combat/Shooting feels more like Quake/Unreal Tournament and not TF2
2) Each classes has their own roles to play. Even Widowmaker the sniper class has a skill to support team
3) A lot of people change their class to Hanzo(the Japanese guy) and uses his Ulti skill when the ulti gauge is near full
4) I didn't try out the support classes but from what i gathered, they're really good
5) We only tried out 2 maps in Blizzcon: Capture point and Payload
6) Certain classes are squishy but have their own way of avoiding damage such as Tracer's triple blink and Reaper's immune to damage skill
7) It feels that this game is very easy to pick up but you need a real good teamwork/communication to get things worked out perfect due to too many combinations of classes as it's a 6v6 game

I've also met personally with the developers of Overwatch in their office and really excited about it but i can't reveal it due to NDA

Just gotta wait for them to announce more stuffs soon

This game will be big. Blizzard from RTS to MMO and now to FPS. Never fail. The game speed is like TF2.
