![]() Heck, if Digital Extremes can make Warframe, a game about space ninjas who jump around a lot, into a space ninjas flying on spaceships and hijacking other spaceships, why can’t Blizzard just make Overwatch 2 into DLC? Okay, maybe that’s not a great example because Destiny turned into Destiny 2 with a ton of DLC in between, but Overwatch 2 feels like it’s making the same original mistakes Destiny made. If Bungie can do it, then surely Blizzard can. Many massive games have undergone complete overhauls! Destiny 2 went through massive changes when Bungie pulled the game from and got the game on Steam. Like, seriously, why split your playerbase like this? Because you’re going to have people buying Overwatch 2 and people stubbornly staying with Overwatch 1, and the changes are mostly making the game look nicer and adding a story mode? Why aren’t Blizzard just making DLC for Overwatch, so they can keep everything together?Īnd don’t say “it’s too hard to overhaul the game like that!” because that’s bullshit. ![]() That means you’ll keep your skins, player icons, sprays, emotes, and more! Current Overwatch players will battle side-by-side with Overwatch 2 players in PvP multiplayer they’ll also be able to play Overwatch 2 heroes and maps. Your accomplishments and loot collections will be carried forward to Overwatch 2. The thing that confuses me the most though is this text at the bottom of the Overwatch 2 page: All the classes are there, all the maps are still there, the PvP is still there, the only real thing is that you get a story mode with upgrade-able heroes. Except you have to buy Overwatch 2 as an entirely separate game. ![]() Alternatively, it looks like the opposite of Warframe’s Conclave game mode, which is a tactical PvP twitch shooter buried underneath a ton of cooperative gameplay. A coop mode for a competitive shooter game. This just feels like… like Mann VS Machine. Screenshot from the Zero Hour trailer.īut after watching the gameplay trailer, I am EVEN LESS CONVINCED. Especially since cinematics aren’t like gameplay most of the time. Everyone in the Youtube comments seemed pretty happy about the announcement and are all “this is cool!” but I’m not convinced. I’m going to be honest, Blizzard haven’t sold this to me yet. And just when everything seems hopeless, oh look, everyone else arrives and the good guys save the day. The trailer is honestly a pretty standard hero thing where the good guys are outnumbered and the bad guys are faceless monsters (or rather, omnics) and clearly there are only two police officers in the entirety of Paris. A shiny 8 minute cinematic was released alongside a 3 minute gameplay trailer which gave us a glimpse of how the game runs, and frankly, I am very confused. So, uh, yeah, Overwatch 2 is going to be a thing.
