Thoughts on Blizzard making giant 15 ft figures and placing them around the world?
Tracer Los Angeles, California
Genji Paris, France
Pharah Busan, South Korea
What are my thoughts?
What exactly is there to say you fucking faggot? Its marketing for a game ... big whoop. What exactly do you want to discuss?
Thoughts on this leaflet I just got through the door? It's advertising some kind webdesign and printing service.
Aren't those the three places that the twitter post said "Activating Heroes" in?
>our characters should have racial diversity to correctly represent the wide variety of players that enjoy the game
>we are only marketing the game in Europe, NoA, and South Korea because players are only of European, of European descent or South Korean.
Why so much diversity then?
Why don't they have statues in South Africa, India, Egypt, Brazil, etc?
Maybe is time to get that giant Tracer and put her in my basement so we can play medics.
>France
>Not the French character
>Worst Korea
>Not the Korean Character
>USA
>Not an American character
>>338391793
Not everything has to be autistic, anon.
Mixing things up a bit is fine
>>338391748
>Why don't they have statues in poor places where people don't buy games.
>>338391748
The audience wants racial and cultural aesthetic but not the actual human beings.
It's like being an elf or an orc only brown and with the added drama of not living in a first world country.
>>338391748
I think we know why. It would be stolen within minutes.
As much as blizzard likes to appear pc, they must know that these countries are just total shit pits.
>>338391194
My thoughts are where can I buy them?
W-will blizzard make rubber human sized ones?
Not that I want to buy one senpai
>>338391194
that's a pretty clever way of turning the pleb shields into part of the attraction
expect everyone to copy this
that money could have been used to hire additional staff to have more heroes and maps at launch.
Can't wait for the 15ft Mei to be unveiled and then publically molested
>>338392132
No worries, that's paid DLC
This game has a really big marketing budget he
>>338391748
Because South Africans, Indians, Egyptians and Brazilians all live in those regions.
>>338391194
geez, how big is their marketing budget?
>>338391194
What do you want me to say, Mr. Blizzard representative?
It's just a fucking ad campaign, there's nothing whatsoever to talk about.
>>338392224
all maps and heroes are going to be free
They must have spent more on marketing than on making the game.
>>338391748
Because there's no video game culture in those countries. They know they're only doing it to get SJW points from women and cucked American white males
>>338392352
Infinite. Blizzard's money is virtually infinite.
>>338391194
who is going to play with them?
giants?
>>338393503
*Activisions money
Without Heathstone they'd be dead already
>>338391194
>blizzard spends $100,000 making 15 ft tall action figures that no one will get to play with
>they won't make any figures other than shitty pop figures
>>338391194
>British character in US
>Japanese character in France
>Egyptian character in South Korea
seems odd to me.
>>338391194
/v/ goes wtf
normies go wtf
>>338391194
I hope the next economic disaster brings publishers back in line. What a waste of money on marketing.
>>338391748
>put one up in South Africa
>it's stolen and whoever was putting it up shot dead in 15 minutes
>>338391194
They're not life size.
>plebs
>>338391793
>>338394280
Maybe they look into user stats based on region? It's the only reason that come up in my head
>>338391194
You fucking Blizzard shills are really getting on my tits.
Fuck off to /vg/ and circlejerk about your casual waifu simulator there.
>>338391194
>make giant figures
>they're jointshit
way to fuck it up blizz
>>338391194
the character designs are one of the best parts of overwatch.
so having figures makes sense.
please let them be made by NECA.
>>338394241
If the game gets super popular in asia, the figures will come.
>>338394728
>NECA
Youre disgusting
>>338394724
they are supposed to be like toys
I'm gonna get inside that Tracer and fuck it wildly.
>spends that much money on fucking toys instead of on competent workers for their games
Oh Blizz you never cease to amaze.
>>338394880
NECA is cheap, and they usually find their way to the european market, so no inflated Japan prices.
and their quality was usually nice, except for them not standing properly.
i got DS2 Isaac, DMC Dante and TF2 soldier, both looking great, granted the articulation is limited but that comes with the price.
they were like 20 € each.
>>338394953
>>338391194
Has anyone tried to hotglue any of these yet?
>>338395059
i wonder if the warcraft movie will have Overwatch trailers infront of them...
>basically animated trailer looking like pixar/disney
>"ITS NOT A MOVIE, ITS A GAME"
>millions copys sold
blizzard, god damn marketing genius.
they sure are pouring alot of money into a game that'll be dead in a couple of months.
>>338391194
Why would you do that?
Like, nothing wrong with making huge sculptures of your characters, but WHY MAKE THEM IN THE IMAGE OF ACTION FIGURE TOYS IN BOXES??
>>338391194How long until someone steals one of these
>>338395374
to sell action figures and promote the game?
anyone thinking they won't produce a line of action figures seems delusional.
>>338391194
>invoquez la lame
>invoke the lame
Even Blizzard admits in reddit language that Genji is boring
Love it when marketers go against the grain, like lmao how they asked for arabic graffiti in Homeland and arab artists wrote that homeland sucks in arabic
>>338392132
these adverts will likely bring in more than enough money to fund development.
and with the hype that OW has been building, they've put themselves in a position where they have to do stuff like this
>>338391194
I think that I'm tired of Overwatch threads, and I wish you fucks would piss off to /vg/ already
>>338395729
Wait until the game is actually out and the release shitposting dies down.
>>338395670
And then once a new FPS is out for the masses to cling to it'll die.
This is the way of the FPS, they last until the next one is out. Blizz was just smart enough to release it in May instead of November like most FPS. They're filling that gap with Overwatch. Look at Doom, it's already taken quite a lot of people into it's good graces.
>>338395547
id buy a reinhardt figure
>>338394241
>tfw no Mercy or Mei figures to hot glue
>>338395729
Overwatch is the only exitcing pc game coming out till no mans sky, so just deal with the threads
>>338395905masked or unmasked?
i would buy pharah for sure, possibly soldier 76.
just characters with hidden faces because cheap figure faces are always terrible.
>>338396118
of course masked, the only figures i buy have masks
>>338391194
wasted potential, theyy shouldve used the country's heroes rather than throwing in random heroes
>D.VA korea
>Mc Cree USA
>france???
>>338391194
If the game was any good they wouldn't need to shill it so hard. QED.
>>338396081
Define exciting
>>338396221
i like you anon.
>>338391194
>some /v/irgin will hotglue one of those
>>338396258
Widowmaker
>>338391194
>can make 15ft tall overwatch figures effortlessly
>can't even fix the hunter class
>>338396468
Already ahead of you. I'll be playing EWF's September as I do it on Tracer. Come and watch.
I want a Tracer Nendoroid.
I admit it.
>>338391509
This. OP is probably a shill.
>>338391194
Should've made them life size and fuckable.
>>338397223
Hey at least we have Oculus right? Ooooh....
Well at least we have SFM right? Ooooh...
Ummm we got art?
>didn't put the Egyptian in Paris which has a high muslim population
>didn't put the Japanese ninja in a country where nippon committed tons of atrocities
Blizz really did their homework for this stunt
>>338394770
I really dig Pharah's armor. Kinda gives me a ZoE vibe, though that might just be because she's Egyptian.
>>338392224
>if I keep saying it then it will become true
>>338395547
>Anybody who thinks they're not actually gonna make a full Nintendo-tier Sugar Rush game is delusional.
>>338392224
New character! Only $4.99!
>>338392976
Does't matter what you say, just say anthing, as they will bump these threads young man :^)
>>338399181
>>didn't put the Egyptian in Paris which has a high muslim population
Yeah I'm sure Blizzard wants to spend time and money putting up a giant racial caricature in the middle of a city full of people who throw rocks at the government they don't like.
>>338396258
It loses exotic factor if you do it that way.
Leave marketing to experts, you pleb
>>338394003
>dominate the PC market since the mid 90s
>have a game in the top 10 most selling games of all time
>been receiving $15 a month from at the very minimum of 1 million people a month
>top twitch game that's free so more babies play a casual TCG
>been one of the biggest names in esports for over 20 years
>can still piss away millions to make a movie
I'm sure it is just Activision money anon
>>338400102
in all fairness, the Disney Executives that chose not to make it are delusional
