Both, same as the TF2 comics.

Pretty good short. Animation is definitely better than the dialogue, though. I dig Winston's lab and its ease of use for an ape.

>>80959967

Yeah, he and gorilla dude used to be on the same team but after it disbanded shadow dude became a mercenary and/or terrorist.

Okay, so what the fuck IS Reaper?

>>80960089
Considering it has a number of attractive waifus I'd say it's better.

This just annoys me.
Because it reminds me that we will never get a TF2 full lenght movie.

It's a fantastic TF2 ripoff, of all the TF2 ripoffs on the market it's the most appealing.

Used to be Reys, but now he's hunting past Overwatch members and executing them. The bodies are found in advanced decay.

There's a bit of pre-round dialogue where Mercy and he talk:
>What happened to you?
>Why don't you tell me, Doc?
So I assume something wrong happened with her treatment, probably the early version of the Caduceus staff fuckin up.

His Bio states that his condition is due to rapid destruction and regeneration of cells, and that he was most likely the result of a failed experiment.

He's currently part of Talon. If they were the ones to do it, or if he was even a volunteer, are unclear.

My excuse has always been slow reaction time and an instinctual desire to grab something when your falling or being pushed or pulled somewhere. So they're slow to process when they should initially let go and then while they're being flung around it's instinct to hold on.

>>80959726
If they continue with this and expand a bit, perhaps they will bring in something interesting but so far it's just an animation for a Video Game #68.

TF2 is the most comparable thing to this and it does everything (besides the dated engine) miles better. It's as if the insanity of characters and the world behind the game is coming from the mindless struggles inside an average public server where two teams fight each other over and over again with no results whatsoever.

Winston the Gorilla can be smart and have a touching past but in the end, in an average game, he will aimlessly run around in a bloody clusterfuck in the hands of kids who only care about kills, points and ranks. There's little emotion or sentimentality in multiplayer characters after you've seen hundreds of those clones murdering each other.

>>80960407

>>80960089
You're right, if they were making a good TF2 rip off they would completely disregard balance and competitiveness and instead cater towards the hat obsessed autistic community.

>>80963814
> just an animation for a Video Game #68.

So far it's much more engaging than the shit Tom Clancey games, Battlefield, or CoD pump out.

>>80960089
In what sense? You can't make class based arena shooters anymore because TF2 did it? You mean in terms of story and writing? Because TF2 is full-on comedy where Overwatch is going for Pixar-esque characters and storytelling.

Hell I prefer Team Fortress' characters and I find them all to be extremely charming and amusing, but this is retarded.

>>80963898
>Whenever I play Overwatch I'm going to be really upset every time I play a round and there isn't a Winston crouching in the corner saying "im friendly gorilla dont shoot :))".

I blame the lack of real matchmaking. No one fucking cares. If you just want to jump in and play a couple of matches and actually try to win, it's a literal impossibility. Everyone just fucks around the entire time.

You either play a garbage game or you spend months investing yourself in finding a real server that has a fostered community and ingratiate yourself to it (Better hope they like you!) or you play 20 player matches of scouts running around trying to kill each other.

>>80964276
why can't it just be game in the same genre though? is tactics ogre and final fantasy tactics a ripoff of disgaea because they share the same elements?

>>80964216
The shoulder pads indicate that theyre filler between actual design concepts. Weve seen >>80964243 in group shots already for example.

>>80964323
Yeah no fucking kidding. Who the fuck still wants to play TF2 other than like the bafflingly large furry community in that game?

>>80963390
That's actually significantly likely, if you consider that making the silent character gay is the perfect excuse to not have to actually write him differently. The fact that he's standing next to Junkrat most of the time is more than enough to sate shippers.

>>80964302
This guy looks way more like an in game model than the others.

>>80964183
LoL has never tried that hard to establish any kind of universe, outside of the fact there are cities and people fight in tournaments, because Riot are cheap Asians. I feel like Overwatch is actually trying.

>>80964074
Give war a chance... skinny Sun Downer?

>>80964324
Because Overwatch borrows so much from TF2 that denying it would be silly. Monday Night Combat borrowed a lot from TF2 and no one had any problems making that comparison, but apparently Overwatch is special and we're not allowed to do that despite having even more direct comparisons than MNC.

>>80964348
I've been playing TF2 the last month to work on my rusty aim for Overwatch.

>>80964348
Seriously man, no healthy, rotation based community servers anymore. at all. Its 24/7 ad revenue shit for shitter, or its furry/brony crap. Everytime I want to play I have to settle for quickmatch valve servers, because at least there I don't have to deal with subhuman, or retarded custom rules.


I'm hoping rated matchmaking saves the game, but we have to keep waiting because valve would rather keep pushing those retarded campaignsThe first of which I spent way too much money on, I'm afraid than shit that will actually extend the games lifetime.

>>80964424
Th only thing it "borrows" is the gameplay which can be chucked up to belonging to the same genre.

>>80964244
I'm in the beta and I have to say, I'm enjoying this more than tf2


Much like how Vermintide was inspired by l4d which was almost 10 years ago, Overwatch is inspired by tf2, which is a game from almost 10 years ago.

>>80964424
>Dude has a healing gun
>Dude who has a sniper rifle
>Dude who has a bow and arrow
>Dude who builds turrets

I mean the comparisons pretty much stop there. Obviously Torbjorn is just Engineer, and obviously Widowmaker's sniper rifle functions similarly to Sniper's, but that's because charge up is a ridiculously good idea and you'd have to be a fool to not re-implement it in whatever game you're making

Speaking as someone who is in the alpha and someone who has hundreds of hours in TF2, Tracer plays absolutely nothing like Scout. Zarya plays nothing like Heavy despite the visual similarities, and functions in a completely different role. There is no one in Overwatch like Spy. There is no one in TF2 like D.Va.

>>80964531
Oh and I guess Demoman and Junkrat are essentially the same, though Junkrat is what would happen if Demoman wasn't completely fucking broken at all levels of play.

>>80964424
During a Blizzcon Q&A someone brought up the TF2 comparison and the Dev said something along the lines of 'TF2 is a great game and we accept comparisons as complements."

>>80964479
>>80964531
I'm also in the Overwatch beta, and I see enough comparisons and influences from TF2 that I don't think it's unfair to make them. One of the biggest things I've seen is that a lot of beta players are surprised to learn that the Payload has a healing effect because the game never explains it. The game never explains it because the Payload mechanics were pretty much lifted from TF2 directly and I guess they assumed that players would already know that.

Plus even if every character isn't a 1:1 duo to a playstyle in TF2, I'm pretty sure the majority of characters were based on building around a TF2 mechanic. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Bastion was a spin on Wrangler Engineer or that Mei started out as an ironic flip to Pyro.

>>80964668
Which makes sense, and yet if you bring up comparisons in online chat suddenly people act like it's unwarranted as hell.

>>80964531
>but that's because charge up is a ridiculously good idea and you'd have to be a fool to not re-implement it in whatever game you're making

Most popular and enduring game franchises tend to set standards for future games from that genre. No one would accuse TF2 of ripping off Quake even though a lot of the game's design standards were popularized by that game.

TF2 had a lot of good ideas for the genre. You'd have to arrogant and stupid to not continue the trends they have make common place. TF2 also had a lot of bad ideas like never balancing the game ever under any circumstance, and giving insane game shattering movement skill ceilings to two of the 9 classes so that they became the most dominant in all circumstances and all of the classes become quickly irrelevant the better you become.

>>80959726
I got a good laugh at the goon dropping the snare going "NOPE" when Winston went bezerk. The rest sucked though.

>>80964780
>like never balancing the game ever under any circumstance

>I'm not a monkey

>ghost alien robot thing attacking The Heavy

Fuck that noise. Winston is a monkey, Grodd is a monkey, monkey is monkey

>>80964850
I'm being hyperbolic obviously, but Valve has been hilariously ineffective at reigning in Soldier, Scout, and Demoman in comparison to the rest of the classes.

I thought Widowmaker was never a soldier and was just the wife of an Overwatch employee. She was only brainwashed into being a sniper.

>>80965175

It's Pharah's mom. You see her in another picture up close with Egyptian emblems on her costume.

For some reason she's a sniper.

>>80965262
Fair enough. I was guessing by the sniper rifle and beret.

I thought Pharah got her armor from her mom.

>>80965306
She might have, but her interactions in-game establish that she had a very strained relationship with her mother. If anything, she probably looted the corpse.

>>80965732
she'd get a skin that gives her a new hairstyle, assuming she gets in

>>80965773
I like the idea that Reaper is intentionally edgy and cliche, to give a sense of humor to his character without actually making him act silly.

I remember some interactive dialog where Reaper tells Mercy she's to blame for his condition. I thought it was interesting.

>>80965753
I supposed that's a good thing since it isn't real.

Widow never got out, she's still with Talon. She probably has the saddest backstory of the lot.

I've never seen a game with so many husbandos/waifus.

Reaper is basically Blizzard's loveletter to 90s FPS protagonists who were ridiculous edgelords who rode around with dualies and trench coats.

Overwatch wears all of its influences on its sleeves and its great.

TF2 had the uniform, incredibly thought out, aesthetic translating into game play visual design I've ever seen in a modern video game.

It kills me that this is what it has become.

Silluette breaking would mean he uses a drastically different stance and animations, or a skin so crazily out proportion as to make the character unrecognisable (like 'roadhog reaper' or something). When you see this ingame you will still immediately recognise him as reaper.

>>80966233
When Amelia was abducted Talon let her be rescued by Overwatch so that when her brainwashing would kick in so she would kill her husband. What I meant was that Tracer could have been part of that very team that 'rescued' her. Does that make more sense?

Game looks good, more excited for the universe to be expanded.

Maybe get comics and some toys. Tracer and Pharah with some nice toys.

>>80966545
None of that is really all that more tragic than your stock Disney/Pixar tradition origins though.

Except for Widowmaker obviously.

>>80966545

Does that mean she has to wear that thing 24/7?

>>80966838
I wonder why they made Widowmaker's story so damn dark in comparision?
Well other than them planing a bit more with her characterwise. Like if the game has advancing meta-plot she'll eventually shakes of the brainwashing and shit. And becomes Overwatch's answer to the Winter Soldier

Suffering from "chronal disassociation," she was a living ghost, disappearing for hours and days at a time. Even for the brief moments she was present, she was unable to maintain physical form.

>Overwatch's doctors and scientists were stumped, and Tracer's case seemed hopeless until a scientist named Winston designed the chronal accelerator, a device capable of keeping Tracer anchored in the present.

Pretty much.

>>80960980

How would they study something which has no physical form and frequently dissapears for indeterminate ammounts of time?

actually Reaper was given regenerating nanobots by Mercy, but during his showdown with Solider:76 when Overwatch was disbanded he got exploded. The nanobots regenerated him from dust, creating the ethereal like form he has now.

>>80966995
So far the happiest.

Basically the state military police saw her K D ratio at an fps tournament and recruited her to be a mech pilot.

>>80967286
This.

>>80966838
All the Overwatch characters have tragic background stories. Winston saw his 'father' murdered at the hands of his own people, and potentially had a hand in it because he seemed to have more freedom than most gorillas would.

Tracer probably has some kind of horrible flash moment where she lives out an eternity while everything is frozen in time.

Mei doesn't seem that bad except that she lost all of her friends.

Genji was beaten badly by his brother Hanzo and left for dead. His body was 90% replaced with robot parts to the point that people think he is an AI.

Almost every character has a way to break out of combat or harden up their defense to retreat and get health.

For example: D VA's mech suit jumps around like a StarShipTroopers Novel mobile suit. And she can even eject out and go zero suit while her mech does a kamikaze charge.

Reaper does his cloud walk thing.

Some classes are super mobile and tactic is to hit and run, others can yank but need to keep strafing.

I refuse to consider anything from Blizzard good ever since they destroyed Starcraft with crappy fanfiction.

The moment Overwatch comes out, it goes right in the dumpster.

>>80969301
The current iteration of Bastion is 360 rotation in turret mode with a weakspot on its back. Recon mode is a lot more effective than it used to be. It's accurate and higher damaging. Blizzard really likes the direction Bastion is slowly moving in which is a shoot and scoot playstyle.

Some Bastion players still just camp in turret mode though.

Bastion's tank ultimate got nerfed a little in duration but still destroys teams unless they got a Reinhardt with a shield to absorb the hits.

Considering Genji and Zenyatta are the most religious it could possibly be magic.

Hot damn. And she's the oldest chick in the group too.

Different anon, but I'm not exactly font of the whole Kerrigan and Raynor focus of StarCraft 2 too.

>It's Pharah's mom.
I'm pretty sure that doesn't make any sense age-wise for the rest of the crew in the picture. At least for Mercy and Tracer

>>80970113
Hanzo makes dragons too though.

Only things Kerrigan had in common with Christ were sacrifice and a resurrection(which happened out of order).

If that's all it takes to make a character literally Christ, then I got bad news for you Anon. I doubt there's any fiction you enjoy that can't be related to the Bible or Christ somehow.

Believe it or not, but lots of girls get teen pregnant.

>>80970221
Probably just for Mercy. Tracer's time displaced so any bets regarding age can be thrown out the window. But yeah I think that's actually just Pharah before she got her suit.

I think the closest any fiction got to literally Jesus was Dune.
