Why? Overwatch can just be added to forever pretty much and has zero story. Why does it need a sequel?

>babies still crying for story mode because online shooters are scary

I can smell your fedora from here.

It's not an actual sequel, it's supposedly going to be a PVE game that will probably add the story that tumblr whales keep crying for more of.

>PvE mode
>New characters
>New, hopefully, well designed maps for a change
>New game modes

Honestly the game needs a sequel. The foundation of the original is heavily flawed so I think this is just what is needed to make the game actually fun.

>because online shooters are scary
NO YOU FUCKING STUPID MONG
85% OF OVERWATCHES BUDGET GOES TO THOSE STUPID FUCKING ANIMATED STORY SHORTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL GAME

Diablo 4 and OW 2 will suck too. This just means another canceled project in the blizzard tomb.

It's a smart move if you think about it. This is the second tiime they've cancelled a Starcraft FPS game in favor of something that will actually have players.

Its been 3 years but by the time it releases it'll be 4 or 5 years

OW2 will just be a more traditional add-on with story modes and a kind of low RPG element. All new maps will come to both versions as to not split the player base. The add-on will also come with a few new heroes at once, but they also will be available from the start.

They don't fix shit. They just simplify it and people drop it quickly because of how shallow it is. I mean the only people playing OW anymore are just into it's lore, skin spam, or characters. Nothing to do with the gameplay. Same thing happened with D3 where even after Jay Wilson left they just made everything easier and easier, to a point where more people were playing D2 then D3 at one point.

Starcraft was dead before overwatch was a thing

it's nu blizzard be glad

Because they don't want to support a decade-old game with failing revenue like Valve. Getting rid of the game after 2-3 years is the sensible thing to do from a business perspective. Otherwise people get too attached to their pixel items and will cause a massive outrage when they drop the game (and the "economy" with it).

They could use a new engine (doubt it), but guess they just want to sell the game again (good move, drones will gobble it).

Pic reminds me of trying to find good Enemy Territory servers circa 2010

god I remember buying frozen throne and they had a slip with all the other games they had lined up. Like WOW and SC ghost. Was so ready for ghost

I dont get the hate for overwatch 2. A sequel is a great way to change up the game without people getting as mad as when you start mucking about in an already released game. If they make a sequel they can be a lot more through and hopefully apply the lessons learnt of OW1.

but user overwatch was alway shit

there are several space marine games, even STAR WARS space marine games, some regarded fondly here in Yea Forums

with call of duty trying to do space and falling flat on its fucking face with the most hated videogame video on youtube, im certain activision isn't ready to just go and do that again.

That they need to fire Jeff, making a hero like mercy is a fucking mistake and making chokepoints that can only be broken through by mass ultimates is not good game design.

>We don’t generally comment on unannounced projects but we will say the following:

>We always have people working on different ideas behind the scenes – including on multiple projects right now – but the reason we tend not to discuss them publicly is because anything can happen over the course of development. As has been the case at Blizzard numerous times in the past, there is always the possibility that we’ll make the decision to not move forward on a given project. Announcing something before we feel it’s ready stands the risk of creating a lot of frustration and disappointment, both for our players and us, not to mention distraction and added pressure for our development teams.

>We pour our hearts and souls into this work, and as players ourselves, we know how exciting it can be to see and know with certainty that a new project is coming. Knowing that changes or disappointments can happen doesn’t make it any less painful when we have to shelve a project or when an announcement doesn’t go as planned. We always make decisions about these things, regardless of the ultimate outcome or how things might be interpreted, based on our values, what we believe makes sense for Blizzard, and what we hope our players will enjoy the most. The work that goes into these projects – whether they ship or not – is extraordinarily valuable. It often leads to great things and helps foster a culture of experimentation here.

I mean Titan was very much a different experience. By “assets” you have to understand this probably implies the design assets, some of the world bits but I highly doubt they were able to just plug and chug any of titan.

Titan was an MMO, to succeed WoW, not initially a FPS/TPS

Another fun fact. Titan is the nail in the coffin for old blizzard. That project is why everybody stepped back and quit.

>failing revenue
>TF2
It was in the middle of the pack on their highest grossing games on steam 2018 list.

i barely remember mercy doing that

Because it was started or because it was cancelled?

AvP 1 and 2 are still good and the publisher should sort their shit out and bring back an official master server for 2's online.

calling it now. 'Overwatch 2' is just a campaign/co-op thing with no competitive multiplayer at all. It'll be built in and merged with Overwatch 1, but you'll need to pay for the campaigns and co-op characters, with possible exception of maybe a small demo campaign or something that's free. Very similar to how Starcraft 2 is today.

Cancelled. According to Metzen. There were a lot of people really butthurt the project couldn’t find its groove and when it got cancelled it crushed a lot of people and many involved checked out entirely emotionally.

I guess it suffered from everybody wanting their big thing to be the crowning feature, a lot of teams worked on a lot of really random stuff to try and be blizzard “rockstars” and you ended up with three dozen passion projects that came crashing at once.

Overwatch died specifically because they "froze" the game design and game improvement in favor of pandering to Esports

Nothing about that game got better or more complex since it launched, its still the exact same chokepoint and wait for ult gameplay after 2 years

How is left 4 dead style pve going to fit into overwatch? on the one hand there are potentially more classes/playstyles to choose from but overwatch has zero progression so you are better off just playing vermintide 2 or deep rock or any other l4D clone out there.
mite b cool if they do add in customization and gear progression though.

Isn’t the point of a sequel supposed to be improve on the original?

there won't be a second game. there will most likely be an expansion.
and none of this is confirmed so don't even believe shitaku's lies.

And nothing of value was lost.

Did you play any of the co-op events they had? It would basically just be those, but probably with new characters that are designed from the ground-up to be used in co-op missions.

In an age when games couldn't receive updates, yes. These days a sequel -should- only happen if there are big changes to the core game design or in case of a major hardware leap that opens up new options for the developers.

no the point of the sequel is to sell more than the original

>shittaku lies

Pick one. Jason might be a fucking cuck ass sperg, but his info is (usually) spot on

if you can patch a game you don't need to release a sequel to fix (hundreds) of minor gameplay issues that amount to a bad experience. its like how persona and every pokemon game dont need to make third versions now that we have patching available but do anyway because it makes more money

Your idea of success is popularity. A very childish idea. I will bite though, Warcraft. It fits with your childish idea of success. You could even argue its more successfull as an MMO rather as an RTS.

I was looking for this picture!

in theory yes but considering the games been out for 3 years and blizzard for the most part has ignored what fans wanted, i cant help but feel a sequel will be even more of them being deaf to legitimate problems in the game that fans are telling them about

they ignored everything period. there hasnt been a single meaningful update other than capture the flag and thats not even a permanent fucking mode

>Comp scene that was artificially enforced

They already spoiled the overwatch name and the fans are going to be pissed that they just wont port in to the first overwatch cause its just so perfect to them with no flaws other then the community just being so toxic.

is that for that event only or for when the actual events come out? I remember if you waited a year the price got cut to 1000

This is that one time were you'd say my-soggy-knee
to their twitter/forums until they actually do it

>liking D.Va post-animation, after her character has been murdered

kys

the price was cut by the next time it was purchasable. the first 2 anniversary events had all event skins before it cost 1000 but now you have to wait even longer
example;
>before
>halloween skins cost 3000
>anniversary event makes those halloween skins cost 1000
>now
>halloween skins cost 3000
>anniversary event doesnt lower price
>price doesnt drop to 1000 until next halloween

that's jewish but """at least""" it's going with a set pattern and not just kiking it up for no reason

>backtracking
Pathetic koreanigger

>learn from the D3 mistakes
I think they could get away with just reskinning D3 in its current state, adding another act, rebalancing and adding 2/3 more classes and label it Diablo 4. I've enjoyed making a hardcore seasonal character and just unlocking the rewards until I die. Out of all the current Blizzard games Diablo 3 is strangely in the best spot at the moment, aslong as 4 doesn't have such a shit launch i'm hopeful

>Out of all the current Blizzard games Diablo 3 is strangely in the best spot at the moment
actually that would be hots, but blizzard refuses to acknowledge that because it isnt making billions

I had such high hopes for this character when she first came out. that you'd be able to force honorable 1v1's with her ability silence and I figured she'd be a "high risk, high reward" character like the TF2 Spy, as in she'd be able to burst people down coming out of stealth but be very vulnerable due to being a squishy dps class.

But nah, hacking takes way too long, is very easy to interrupt/shield against it, and her DPS fucking sucks.

Note everything the OW fags think is worth a new game and you'll realize why Blizzard is dead

>actually that would be hots, but blizzard refuses to acknowledge that because it isnt making billions
hots got shuttered
even if it was a good game they've actively abandoned it

>overwatch
>1v1
the entire game is just rock paper scissors. sombra is only useful against reinhardt roadhog and like one healer because she stops them from being useful

it IS a good game, but it got abandoned

I'm one of those fools who always hoped that it would become "TF2 2.0," how in TF2 there are only soft-counters to things. in TF2, any class can defeat any class if the player is skillful enough.

Considering they made overwatch, I agree.

nah, overwatch dug its grave the moment they committed to no weaopn loadouts
well, there were a ton of things it fucked up, among which that was one of them
if you don't believe me just look at the clusterfuck that dva's kit has gone through, among the entire multiple reworks symmetra and torbjorn have gone through
waste of like $40 but i uninstalled it years ago so i don't really care

I discounted HotS because Blizzard gave the impression it was stagnating. It's a solid game and probbably one of Blizzard's best in recent years, but Diabo 3 is my go-to game if i'm ever completely burntout on everything else and i've got 6-7 hours to kill since it has defined goals and is so easy to pick up.
Now that I think about it my one concern with Diablo 4 is that it'll be made with the Switch in mind, I don't know how many copies it sold but I saw dozens of adverts for the switch version IRL, way more than the PC release

I don't want to sound like an ancient sage boomer. but if you are experienced with gaming you can smell these kinds of things, you get immune to hype too. Its kind of a jaded state and previous disappointment too play their role too, but its more like you can feel that when a game's dev didn't put its heart into the game. These modern games just ooze from this feeling and western devs are especially notorious for this. This is why I'm very skeptic about WoW classic too, I understand a lot of people want it, but I'm immune to this hype bullshit, and I don't have any glass to warp my judgement of a 6/10 at best game which was hardcarried by a more close, younger, adventurous internet community still naive and wanting the explore, yet untouched by a fuckload of information stream and even politics.

i'm just worried diablo 4 won't have a character creator
again
and will be further dumbed down

>force honorable 1v1's
That's funny cause everytime I am about to kill Sombra she just teleported away. I hate all the control type shit in this game and the get out of jail free cards a lot of the DPS has

Yeah mobile gachi shit truly is the apex of quality videogame design.

nice opinion you have there, but you're a ignorant nobody who speaks out of his asshole so it's worth shit.

Yeah, I’m kind of baffled on that. Even ignoring the fact that it was doing perfectly fine—not a market leader of course, but with a very dedicated player base that was growing steadily, particularly in western markets—there was zero reason to kill it. Off the top of my head, they could add: BR mode, mobile port, independent power progression, custom games, beginner friendly modes
Literally all of these are fucking retarded easy to implement compared to actually developing a game. It was honestly the last good multiplayer game for any company. Everything else is skinnerbox nonsense that has zero respect for player time.

they abandoned it because nobody was watching the esports and according to blizzard no viewers = no players. thats why they only invited streamers to the classic beta. they'll cut support to classic after 6 months when streamers drop below 8k

it couldn't get much dumber than 3. not a lot of room for skill and the grind is too repetitive to be fun. there's a bit of variety in builds but it doesn't really help. clearing feels the same with a lot of them. there's just no dynamic feel to the combat other it's just "yeah it's fast and fluid" good job jay wilson.

sc isn't strategy it's more apm and mental flowchart. there's not a lot long term you have to think about when you go next every 20 minutes. you don't usually know who you are playing so it's just grind meta.

it’s such a silly way to judge popularity, because every person watching a stream is someone not playing the game. People either watch a stream because they enjoy a game, but they’re so retarded that they can’t actually play a game, or because they’re losers who want a friend simulator.
That’s not even getting into the massive issues with viewbotting even on “official” streams.
Just shows to me that blizzard is dead because it is full of people that don’t actually play games.
There’s nothing to replace them, is my big problem. They were the last company that at least had some semblance of a gamer culture.

the only reason companies care about stream viewers is because you can blatantly advertise on streams

>overtrash 2

what. that has to be a expansion or something, there's no way blizztard brings out a actual sequel less than 10 years after the originals release

>Diablo after 2
ftfy

He's right

I pre-ordered StarCraft Ghost back in 2003

I'm curious how Blizzard will deem Overwatch 2 to be a worthy sequel. The multiplayer must be extremely similar, with all the previous characters from the first game.

I'm guessing its just a singleplayer campaign?

This. You people never learn

>Overwatch's servers will die someday to force you to buy 2

Why do people still buy this shit?

It should be a VN

every single shooter ever has gone through this

That's why you have community servers so it doesn't have to. Killing multiplayer games is a fairly new concept.

Uhhh, no. Black ops still has like 20,000 people on it daily. The only reason the yearly release schedule was successful was because it got the kids that were too young into the game the previous year.

left for dead style

It will be based on Norse mythology like God of War

Diablo 4 is a traditional Diablo game or is it the mobile shit from before?

I still can't forgive them for buying up swingin' ape studios and then cancelling the game
