Is Overwatch the same as Team Fortress 2?

I LOVE BLIZZARD. I love them with all my soul (and all my money). My first time, I played Diablo on my cousin's classic PlayStation console. I spent countless hours perfecting my build order in Starcraft. I played so much Warcraft 2 that my CD broke.

I'm still having fun with it but it's just not as refined as TF2 is or even was at TF2's launch.

Pandamobile2862d ago

No multiplayer game will ever be as refined as TF2 was when it launched. When TF2 launched, every class had one set of weapons so you knew exactly what each enemy was packing before engaging with them.

In Overwatch there's a lot more to keep track of cus there's 21(?) heroes, each with their own ultimate.

basically Overwatch has copycated a lot of things in order to be successful (but thats what Acti/Blizzard always do) ...even their mascot Tracer basically is a humanized color swap of Sonic (googles are eyes , spiky hair -nails, speed etcetc ) many other character are even more brashly copied from Platinums game Max Anarchy (Genji -Zero, Oinkie-Roadhog etcetc)

Tracer and Sonic, I see it, but the others not so much.

AlexBL2862d ago

Didn't saw it like it, you are quite right :)

Tanoriss2862d ago

game just needs competitive play and itt'll be fine

CoDsuperstar2862d ago

it has the potential to be better than TF2 but as of now it is not.

KilluaX32862d ago

In my opinion:

Overwatch >>> TF2

robtion2862d ago

It is the same type of game but not the same game obviously. Silly question.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

Christopher9h ago

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad49m ago(Edited 47m ago)

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.

Microsoft’s Surface and Xbox hardware revenues take a big hit in Q3

Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.

you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)

Xbox hardware revenue tanks to lowest point of Xbox Series generation

Profchaos1h ago

I'm not surprised surface is struggling they aren't relevant anymore

XBManiac1h ago

Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.

SimpleDad54m ago(Edited 53m ago)

"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."

That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"

Microsoft: "why's that"

Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'

Profchaos4m ago(Edited 2m ago)

Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk

It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
