5 Reasons Why Bleeding Edge Will Be Better Than Overwatch

Right from the beginning, Bleeding Edge reminded me of Overwatch, but after a few matches, I noticed that there were a few things that could potentially give Bleeding Edge the leg up over Overwatch.

The story for Bleeding edge is similar to overwatch. You have one character who is fed up with the government and decides to form a team of capable heroes and heroines for a better cause. In bleeding Edge’s case, you can replace the word heroes with misfits or rebels.

Great underrated gem that game is bleeding edge also reminds me of it it’s so sad that these types of games are so rare.

LordJamar1945d ago

Please stop comparing this to overwatch bleeding edge is a small AA game by ninja theory made by a small part of the team a passion project it’s not trying to beat overwatch but people keep pushing this overwatch narrative and its going to ruin the games rep and changes to suceeed.

xTonyMontana1945d ago

This, ask Cliffy B how Overwatch comparisons went for him. Bleeding Edge looks great but devs and fans would be wise to steer clear of Overwatch comparisons.

LordJamar1945d ago

The devs actually made a YouTube video addressing this and why people are compareing it to overwatch and then explain why it’s not that

meka26111945d ago

Problem is that it is extremely like overwatch, that's why the comparisons. When playing the beta it really felt like overwatch with melee involved, which there is nothing wrong with.

LordJamar1945d ago (Edited 1945d ago )

Except it’s not like it at all....is every team based class game forced to be compared to overwatch for the end of time?? When did overwatch invent this genre?? Cause I’m pretty sure it’s been around for a long time people compare it to overwatch cause of its bright color and style and cause they don’t know any other hero type arena game cause they don’t play any others if anything bleeding edge is more like a melee MOBA like gigantic not overwatch sadly no one remembers gigantic RIP such a great game.

meka26111945d ago

@LordJamar it is like it and it's overwatch didn't start it, team fortress did and overwatch copied it off of there. Usually most multiplayer games just involve your character, but in these games the heroes are set and have set abilites, and in that way they are similar, hell even when picking your characters it says no support, or no healers, just like overwatch does.

Christopher1945d ago

This isn't even close to extremely like overwatch unless the absolutely only thing you compare are art style and that they both have control point goal modes.

Tedakin1945d ago

Not sure about that yet.... I love Overwatch... But Bleeding Edge has a ton of promise. I just hope what we played in the beta isn't all there is at launch. 4 maps and 2 modes isn't gonna cut it.

Zeref1945d ago

that is my concern as well. I got bored playing just 2 modes. Then again it is a beta.

I really hope there's more.

moriarty18891945d ago

some of the characters have a sunset od vibe to them imo. very colorful and over the top. game looks and plays good and lets see how much content it will have at launch.

Tedakin1945d ago

Oh the game is totally Sunset Overwatch. It's what you'd get if you mashed OW and Sunset Overdrive together, exactly.

Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge Development to Focus on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II & More

Today Ninja Theory announced that content updates for its multiplayer combat game Bleeding Edge will cease.

Tech51603d ago

the game could have thrived with another studio partnering to add more characters and levels.
there are still old games still receiving partnerships like FH4 and Smash bros adding more to their multiplayer content. anyways can't wait to see more of Hellblade 2 game now that it's being at the center of focus.

BLizardXD1603d ago

game still has some very good animations. Hellblade 2 though is going to be sick running on UE5.

Genkins1603d ago

"Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge"

PlayStation gamers - "good"

SpeedDemon1603d ago

I'm not a PS gamer and think it's a good move, there's no use in beating a dead horse.

Shiken1603d ago

TBH, Hellblade 2 is a much more important title to the XBox library.

Rachel_Alucard1603d ago (Edited 1603d ago )

You should be glad because now they can focus on something that isn't a steaming pile of shite. But no instead you'd rather have one group live in your head rent free for every single thing.

Christopher1603d ago

I think most PS fans will agree that this is nothing to do with Ninja Theory and they want them to make Hellblade 2. It is good to see them make a new game rather than hitch themselves longer to an IP that they really aren't getting the support they should get from Microsoft to advertise it and grow it with new content.

CobraKai1603d ago

Xbox gamers - “good”

SmokinAces1602d ago

You know what they say about assumptions. Just becasue a person thinks its better they focus resources on whats sure to be a better game then on a game that has reviewed very poorly and has very little interest from the gaming community doesn't make them a "Playstation gamer". Its 2021, time to grow up and stop with the fanboy nonsense.

Kilua1602d ago

Ok. Ninja Theory must double down on bleeding edge development. Im sure that will make everyone happy

Not really, if this was suppose to show NT's competence as well as MS's "free hand" towards devs.

If, as many defend, this was an original project that suffered no micro-controlling influence.

Yah bleeding edge was not very good unfortunately

gamer78041603d ago (Edited 1603d ago )

That’s cool @343_guilty_spark just wasn’t my type of game, couldn’t get into the character designs or the melee

Kurt Russell1602d ago

I liked the cha design and the melee... the ropey server connection was what killed it for me. I think I smashed it for about 3 days, then dropped it.

Killer73nova1603d ago

Bleeding edge was fun for about 30 min but after that it’s just repetitive. They said it was just a game they’ve been working on for fun. But I’m glad they are putting everything into senua and I’m excited to hear about the “more”

I_am_Batman1602d ago

I'm kinda shocked that they've supported it for this long to be honest. I'm glad they are focused on more promising games now.

Hellcat20201603d ago

Too bad
The game just didn't deliver anything good or new
It was another game I didn't have to purchase due to Gamepass

I didn't expect much from Bleeding Edge but was still disappointed. It's like they were actively trying to make a terrible game.
