So. I've recently been into overwatch to the point where I'm actually starting to give a shit about what the story is to these diverse characters I grind out hours a day fucking around on multiplayer with. Tonight, however, I decided to sit down and actually watch all of the trailers, shorts, videos, whatever they've released. I was blown away at the quality. Wondering why such great stories and quality cutscenes weren't integrated into the game other than online and lore?
I get it. Multiplayer team-based esports. Cool.
It's already successful as hell, so why add a free story mode to an already well-performing game?
Which brings me to my idea. Why. WHY doesn't Blizzard release (even if its like a 50 dollar dlc) a story mode that simply adds to the game? Using such cutscenes and lore and piecing it all together to a grand story. A final fight between the new overwatch and Talon (and doomfist with roadhog and junkrat as bad guys too or whatever)?

Hell. I would be willing to buy a separate game disk just for this story mode. Keeping the multiplayer and events separate, they can effectively double their money from one story mode campaign.

Or fuck it. Just a straight up cinematic movie. It'd be a long ass movie. But hey. Sequels. More money for them. (Pic related. Realistic as hell looking Pharah)

Just late night gaming thoughts.

its already succeeding well so they are no rush in years to make single player content you gay

Why not capitalise on an already wildly popular game? If the story mode isn't free, then they're making a blow-away profit from it.

And a movie instead? Well. Let's not get into how much money companies make from successful films. You'll hate your minimum wage job. And let's face it, Blizzard will make a good film. Warcraft, for what it was, was a pretty fantastic film.

>It's already successful as hell, so why add a free story mode to an already well-performing game?
You forgot the word "not" here, but this is more accurate. The game is already printing money, why bother doing a ton of work on a campaign?
>>
>>386621468
That was actually me counteracting my point by answering my argument.

But I then state that if the story mode isn't free, which I'm sure almost anyone who loves the game will pay for it, then they're going to make almost double the same profit they had when then game launched.

It would please fans, and they'd make an incredible amount of money and double what they make off of the multiplayer game alone.

Think of it as two games. One has the multiplayer, the other an extended story campaign explaining the multiplayer. Hell, they can even make the campaign co-op to keep with the team-based theme of it all. Fuck. Idk. This is all out of the air. If they gave it serious thought, they could perfect this and be one of the most successful games they own. Besides WoW. Nothing will surpass WoW. Lol
>>
>>386621849
You're speculating about how successful it would be, though. Yeah they COULD do it, but they've already got a shit ton of money, and they'd be just as well-served making an entirely new IP than making Overwatch singleplayer.
>>
I honestly don't see a single player campaign working for this game, but how would you think it would work?
>>
>>386621161
The characters are mostly cool and the animation is fantastic but the stories themselves aren't great in any sense of the word, their just kind of generic and predictable albeit fun to watch. I think I remember this dude guessing shots for shot what the Hanzo/Genji short would be just based on previous shorts.
>>
>putting a shitload of effort and money making a single player mode in a slot machine simulator
LMAO
>>
>>386622059
Same way that I think a TF2 or DOTA solo campaign would work, each character/class would get a few missions that are basically tutorials on how to play them while going through their lore. It teaches players how to use them while giving a single player experience. Have other characters/classes be almost mini bosses and create new shit as grunts/actual bosses that test the mechanics of the characters/classes

You can never have too much money. Greed doesn't have a limit. If I gave you teen dollars for a drawing of yours, but then said I'd give you twenty more if you wrote up a little story for that drawing. Would you write it?

>>386622059
>>386622415
Kinda like this. Only probably more fluid. Cutscene, main group introduced, talon introduced, (like the first trailer), then you go through the different characters and lores, (cutscene, gameplay, cutscene, team objective, singular objective cutscene, rinse and repeat) playing each character and their story and how it leads them to join overwatch or talon. Then you have the battle-out at the end between the two classes. Possibly at this point you can choose your character and the others will be boots on your team, facing bots. (Or co-op if you actually have friends)

Remember the Uprising event? That but an actually full fledged game.
>>
>>386622124
Blizzard makes stories awesome when they put effort into them. Those are one-off trailers. If it was longer than 5 minutes, you'll have suspense and actual fluid character development.

>That will pay off tenfold when the same players who love the slot machine game buy the single player spin-off game

Lol?
>>
>>386623042
we're talking about a different mode not a different game dip shit
>>
>>386623072
I stated in the original post, and further down that the campaign should be it's own game on its own disk or else it won't make any money.
They're not just gonna fucking give you a new game in a game for free. You already bought the fucking game knowing it was multiplayer only.
If they made a single player game based on the lore, it'll be like they're getting double what they're already making now.

>>386621161
>(and doomfist with roadhog and junkrat as bad guys too or whatever)?
Doomfist is a Talon Exec, did you not say you read the comics?
>>
>>386624097
Yeah. But It started confusing me and shit the more I tried juggling who everyone was and what they did and where they fitted in to current events and what their past was like that led them to this and-

Yeah. Exactly.

>>386623042
Are you stupid? Overwatch is a multiplayer game. People aren't playing it for a singleplayer experience

this is the operatives of the disbanded overwatch and blackwatch.
Anyone not in that picture is OW, it's missing genji though for some reason and zen, though zen might have joined late, not 100% on that one

Well. That was a given. Now back to my story mode idea.
>>
>>386624534
Wouldn't it be nice if there was, say, a story mode or something to tell the players why they got where they are and what happens now? You know, rather than having to fucking Google search the shit?
