Looks familiar ?
Amazing job to those who worked on it!
Also, this "TF2 ripoff" reaction for any game that is simple, colourful and stylized is really getting on my nerves, Valve dont "own" the rights to something being stylized, just as much as pixar don't own the rights to stylized animated movies.
It definitely looks like a lot of love went into this. Some are saying "It doesn't look blizzard" but to me everything about it screams what blizzard *represents*. Leaving the pretentious bullshit at the door and going over the top.
Cant wait to try it out.
Classes+special abilities and weapon pickups aren't mutually exclusive design concepts.
(That said, I'm still looking forward to checking it out!)
It looks interesting, I'm guessing each character can play for whatever team? It's a little bit hard to tell as some look evil as hell, some look "good," and others can go either way. Might have to do with how supposedly it's what was salvaged from Titan.
I wonder what engine they use. It kind of looks like Unreal which would make sense for an FPS, but since it's Blizzard and came from their mmo project, I'm betting it's some sort of inhouse engine.
All the different movement abilitys of each class is really whats gonna set this game apart. So many different ways to traverse the map that you just dont have in other games.
I'm excited
But it does remind me a lot of TF2, not visuals but the classes. They are all like a mish mash of all the tf2 classes with flying added. Ok, its easy to make to comparison if you have sniper, heavy, spy, etc. But TF2 kinda invented it (or at least got the balance right). So thats why the comparison is made. But there's about 4 engi classes. So, lots of turtling... Hope the gameplay is fast. I also hope the maps are quite large, I feel the trailer makes the maps look quite small. might be wrong though.
So when is open beta......I will be the guy looking at at the walls and floor textures
Did you model all those characters cause they def have a pior vibe to them?
Some of them also have a vibe from Renaud.
Yeah, can we get a census of our super stars here on polycount that contributed to this amazing looking game? I'm going to guess Nick Carver had a hand in this too.
Congratz to everyone who worked on this for the unveiling today! The game is gorgeous and I can't wait to play the beta.
The classes , sure. Tf2 inspired but a lot more fleshed out, imo.
I just hope there won't be any fucking hats.
I'm so fucking inspired right now. I got teary eyed watching the trailer.
But the art! Stunning. Those environments look so so SO lovely. Just inspiring.
Rolls eyes so hard they fall out of my head
At least you know word about this is spreading fast though. Free marketing!
IGNORING THAT THOUGH...
Looks bloody rad. I'm not the biggest Blizzard fan, always loved the art and worlds but had trouble getting into the actual games... This is something I'll be able to pick up easily, so I'm pretty hyped! Art and design direction is also incredible and wonderful to look at.
...Also the character designs though. I'm kinda in love, here, and luckily for me FPS is totally my jam.
:thumbup: Good job to any and all who worked on this. Nice to hear that not absolutely everything from Titan was killed in a cleansing flame, too.
Do you have a link for this, I'm not seeing anything on her twitter or youtube?
NVM, it's not Anita Sarkeesian, that's why.
He writes and produces the show.

I dont want this to get too far off topic though. The art in overwatch is fantastic, and there's a wide variety of characters of both genders. I just cant help but shake my head at some ppl looking to get offended at something if not everything.
Well the metals do look very PBR like, but the environment has a lot of areas that I don't see any sort of specular reflection. Looks like they took some PBR ideas, but are only really using them on characters.
The design spread is pretty even though-- 5 Humanoid Females, 5 Humanoid males, 1 Gorilla, 1 Battlebot.
Also, watched the gameplay vid again and I'm seeing why people are comparing it to TF2 from these shots. Not entirely sure I think that's a bad thing.
Game looked great and was buttery smooth though!
The only thing that i'm not maybe too fond of, are the dwarf and Reaper guy. Most of the other characters feels really unique, while those two don't so much i think. Models looks great and all, just idea about having generic evil guy like Reaper i think is not quiet on the same level as the other characters.
But, that's just a minor thing really, otherwise i really dig that art.
My first thought was : "blizz, stop making games, start making movies"...that cinematic trailer was just awesome, as expected from blizz. :P
Good job guys (And gals,if any)!
That being said, gameplay looks like a hectic fuckfest, so not sure how well it will work out.
DAT G.I
My only concerns about this would be the ingame animations but you can't have everything I guess.
