>>342570649
anyone with a brain knew that the success of moba games would bleed into other genres
The question is: which genre is next?
>>342571164
How did Overwatch succeed?
What did Blizzard do right?
>>342571609
Marketing
>>342571370
Moba + match three seems like something that would print money.
>Caring more about what games people watch other play than what games people fucking PLAY
>>342571609
copied mechanics from another currently popular game genre
>>342571609
I literally never play shooters and I'm finding it really fun to play.
>>342571609
the game is actually decent
>>342571624
Yup
Faze Clan just announced their Overwatch Pro team too
we aint going nowheres baby :^)
>>342571609
>>342571624
This, and it's also very accessible gameplay wise. No pages and pages of bullshit to learn like in LoL, just an FPS which everyone knows. No ammo, no fall damage, simple abilities... all this and it also happens to be genuinely FUN. As such, the salt it generates is also immense. Watch as this thread gathers it.
>>342568606
why are the blue bitches eyes the color of flesh
>there are people reading this RIGHT NOW that said Overwatch would flop
>>342571609
Well they made a solid game that's pretty easy to understand for beginners but with enough different ways to use your skills to keep it from being too casual.
They did a great job marketing as >>342571624
mentioned. But even if they didn't the game still would have done decently because we're talking about the Marvel of gaming. Bliz could probably spend 1M rendering a golden turd and it would still make back it's investment first day.
>>342571609
Waifus
if the game didnt have literally perfect waifus I wouldnt even look at it twice
>>342571370
>The question is: which genre is next?

>>342572010
>there is a person reading this RIGHT NOW that said there are people reading this RIGHT NOW that said Overwatch would flop
>>342572041
A good point. TF2 is a complete sausagefest. Blizzard took TF2, an immensely successful game, and added something it was always missing: Cute girls. The success is really no surprise.
Overwatch is a gateway drug to mobayou should play one if you haven't yet
>>342570649
Dude, new Quake is going to be the return to old school Quake we're all looking for. Not b8, look at the interviews in which Willits describes how the game is supposed to feel, and everything about it. Rocket jumping, strafe jumping, item and weapon pickups, all of it is confirmed for every character. There is just a little more complexity to the game because of the addition of different characters.
Here's proof:

It plays like how MOBAs would play if MOBAs weren't completely fucking retarded. Whipped League babies still try to call it a MOBA to justify the hundreds of dollars they sunk into that game.
>>342572312
the main draw for enjoyment in a moba is having 3 unique skills and an ultimate that makes you feel powerful
>>342572453
Hurr fucking durr.
>>342571725
Battleborn did that too and no one cares about that game
>>342572010
in defense of that arguement

>this somehow works, because it's Blizzard™
any other company, and we would not have had the same results.
Blizzard with another brilliant shining success. What a surprise. The game is top waifu material, has excellent reviews and is looking to be the run away game of the year. Why can't /v/ just accept Blizzard as their new overlords?
>>342572220
I've tried Dota 2 multiple times but i just can't get into it.
I'm guessing you need to play a lot of actual matches to learn the meta and I can't be bothered.
>>342572582
people think Battleborn is a direct copy of Overwatch
whereas Overwatch is almost completely different from a moba except for the skill mechanics
>>342571370
>take a genre where the majority of players are overcome by mechanics (RTS) and simplify it down to 4 buttons
boom, moba was born and was the most successful thing ever

>>342573024

They said it was a team hero based.

>>342573119
Ah!
So then, let me see here.
League of Legends, Smash Brothers, Overwatch - Successes in the moba-like style of gameplay
Heroes of Newerth, Rising Thunder, Battleborn - all failures with near identical styles of gameplay to their equivalent
what do the first three have that the second three dont?
oh right...

I had a pciture with both Zelda and Rosalina that I was going to use to say find a pic with better waifus, but ironically I cannot find it.
Have this picture of Zelda instead, from the remaster of Twilight Princess.

I think character design is a big factor.
I'm not a big fan a mecha stuff so I didn't even look at that game for a long while.
>>342571609
>Fairly simple, accessible andfun

>>342573024
I miss rising thunder threads
>>342574367
I can tell you this has happened in other businesses recently: certain companies business model is 75% or more of their profits go back into advertising.
It's actually unfortunate that this is so successful because that's a lot of money that could've been spent on R&D to make a better product.
>>342573024
Rising Thunder was a fucking 8 button game, nigga.
L M H Throw
S1 S2 S3 Super
Rising Thunder was a failure for multiple reasons.
They did the alpha thing way too early, they didn't have any form of local play, Chel was really fucking annoying, Vlad wasn't top tier as he rightfully should have been, the characters were pretty lame design-wise, barring Talos and Vlad (AKA Russian Tetsujin) who were real nigga tier, the one stage the game had was bland as fuck and didn't make the characters look or feel big, and its core, the game was, as a remember it, a fairly footsies-oriented traditional fighting game, which the target demographic (people who can't play fighting games because they are apparently don't have the hand eye coordination to do simple motions AKA button mashers) is not going to really get.
The execution barrier was lifted somewhat, but the inherent skillgap between shit and halfway decent players really didn't change all that much. A masher is just gonna press buttons, get punished and lose, then get frustrated and just drop the game.
>>342572830
Wow, that's even worse of a player drop off than Evolve.
I really like those cinematic shorts too:

>>342573149
The characters will have a unique special ability like an overwatch ult, some will have slightly different health or movespeed. Aside from this one change it's literally a clone of Quake Live with better graphics and Quake 1's artstyle.
>>342576427
Not according to the numbers.

Torb life is good life.
>>342571848

No matter how polished Overwatch is, overall, it's complexity is lacking too much for me to take it seriously as a competitive game.

Heroes of the Storm was not a shining success. Blizzard doesn't always pump out hits
It was the Porn man
The Porn made it poplar
Battleborn signed their own death warrant by releasing the same week as the Overwatch beta
>>342571848
>No pages and pages of bullshit to learn like in LoL
You might be retarded if you think learning to play LoL takes "pages" of bullshit.
>>342571609
I'm a manchild and I became interested in the game because the Pixar / Disney style animations. Then I tried the beta and it was really fun.
>>342578552
Because they pulled a Battleborn and thought yeah let's go up against League, the game with the most players ever, and DoTA2. The genre was too well established for them to succeed.
>>342571609
They give us TF3
DUDE ULTS LMAO
>>342568606
Genre+moba elements is the new genre+rpg elements. We won't stop until anything that has ever been popular is included in all games. LONG LIVE HOMOGENIZATION.I'm still waiting for "genre, but FPS because that's popular" to die. GIVE ME THIRD PERSON BACK YOU FUCKWADS.
>Tfw forced to play overwatch because no other FPS out (Don't like CSGO and tf2 is old)
>tfw don't even like the game that much.
It's such a dull game but it scratches my FPS itch.
>>342579515
little bit of this DESU. it's not the game that I enjoy about overwatch, it's the population. Not the gamer base, just the amount.
>no good Zarya SFM yet
>>342573024
you don't have a team to carry you or a team to blame in a fighting game. casuals don't like that it's all on them.

>>342573024
DoTA was made in the time that multiplayer mods with effort put into them could actually become popular. LoL became popular because Riot knew how to market.
Overwatch has a pedigree with Blizzard, so it was popular before it came out.
Rising Thunder is an obscure indie game.Sorry, WAS an obscure indie game.

Just why? You can't even see your character aside from the 2 seconds of taunt or getting killed.
>>342573024
Last time I checked, Riot acquired the Rising Thunder devs and a LoL fighter is no doubt in development. I wouldn't call that failure.
>>342581019
It is by far more popular than TF2 ever was. All kind of people are playing Overwatch right now that never played TF2.Me included, and my entire groups.
>>342581285
You see it:
- In the menu
- When selecting your hero
- When dying
- When emoting
- When getting a POTG
You see it all the time. And it does change the look of your hands/weapon/visible part when playing.
>>342573024
>FPS
>overcome by mechanics
LMAO
Most of the mechanics in FPS games are based on timing more than APM. All you have to do to master an FPS is move your mouse and click at X time.
>>342581318
That doesn't change the fact it borrowed a ton of stuff from it
>>342581318
Are you 10
>>342581407
Yeah,but you don't see when you're fucking playing, which is 99% of the time you spend in the game. What's the point?
>>342581461
I am 28. We are not fans of FPS, yet we are all playing this atm (and by that I mean 3 various group so around 15-20 players of my age who usually stick to other type of games).
>>342581407
>. And it does change the look of your hands/weapon/visible part
Hardly,only the legendaries do noticeable changes
>>342581318
What's your point? That doesn't nullify the fact that TF2 is Overwatch's primary influence.
>>342581202
>Symettra is useless beyond her teleporter
Lol no, her gun is very strong and her sentries are spammable while being able to fuck people up very quickly even though they're easy to clear. The +25 shields to everyone is a nice little bonus too.
>>342581467
You see part of it, like here, everyone know which skin I'm using. And I used gold to get it since I like it.
>>342581551
>That doesn't nullify the fact that TF2 is Overwatch's primary influence.
I'm not saying that they dont want the TF2 players, just that it extends beyond that.
>>342581520
Well, I am glad you can enjoy it anon
>>342581681
thanks
>>342581551
I miss 50 point shields, made her more of a support.
>>342582154
50 was way too much, her teleporter is already invaluable on a lot of maps.
It charges so quick too that you can have one up a lot of the match as long as they don't keep getting destroyed.
>>342571624
pretty much this
>>342582284
I would've rather they'd nerfed her teleporter rather then the shields. But the shields had to go, because Tracer and Genji.
>>342571609
Marketing, a lot of the characters appeals to different groups. You got Genji and Hanzo for the weebs, McCree for the western fans, Reaper for the edgelords, Zarya for the stronk womyn, and D.va for the Koreaboos.
>>342571609
>What did Blizzard do right?
Made the sequel to TF2 everyone wanted, but that Valve is too busy making hats to give us.
Simple, quick rounds with varied characters and a focus on fun gameplay enjoyable for anyone without autism.
Turns out /v/ was wrong, yet again.
LOL
>>342568606
MOBA DESTROYER. I'll give them 1 more year till they fallapart.
>>342580612
>>342578527
pretty much, yeah
>>342571609
Very clear message about what the game is all about, appealing art style and lore, clear and fun gameplay, blizzard's name, marketing, waifus, the whole overwatch experience is extremely polished, one downside being play of the game mechanic.
>>342571609
Appealing characters
From there you get fans and a community.
From there you get art, shenanigans, shipping, and comics.
Thats the kinda shit that usually gets people playing. Also "play stories" and failures are fun, so that keeps the gears going.
>>342572041
I agree the only reason I bought this game is to play as Tracer and Pharah.
>>342577547
Good. competitive esports shit is cancer
>>342568606
Isnt Tracer like 30 and D.Va 16 years old?
Please remove pedo from my vee k thx xoxo
>>342573464
There absolutely needs to be more smash x overwatch fanart.
Why did a game like overwatch take so long to make?
It's not all that much different from CS 1.6 with WC3 mod. That was fun, and it's over 10 years old too.
>>342586417
Tracer is 26 and D.va is 19.
>>342568606
aside from what most of you all say, i like it
i had a mild stroke a few years ago during a major surgery and it damaged my eyesight to the point where i cant see with my central vision but still have my peripheral, i can barely read unless the font is big enough
this games hitboxes lets me feel like i can actually play against people without hoping my crosshair is actually on the enemy
of course i cant do widow or hanzo
>>342586417
Tracer is 26 and D.va is 19.

>>342587498

And it doesn't even have a million dlcs like battlefield.
And I still havent played it and cant give a single shit about it. It just doesnt look fun at all to me.
>>342568606
I can't be the only one who sees this.
Well shit.
I was hoping the price for the most basic version of the game would go down but after this I seriously doubt it, not during this year anyway.
>>342587681
thanks for sharing
>>342587498
It will just end up like Diablo 3 10 million copies sold nobody playing average Neo-Blizzard game. Viral marketing made this game big.
>>342587556
That's not really implied at all though.
>>342587710
Well people are already sharing how they love the game more than anything else so
>>342587747
another /v/ prophecy that will fail terribly
didnt you guys have enough?
>>342587747
This
>>342571609
Good visual design and female characters that straddle the line between waifus and things girls actually want to play. People of all skill levels can contribute as long as they have a basic understanding of the game.
>>342587792
I have enough from your shilling.
>>342571609
Waifus and a quadrillions dollar marketing campaign.
Remove that and it's a pretty meh game.
>>342587747
OW streams will explode once ranked is out again.
>>342587747
this comparison is almost as retarded as "dota 2 is better than dark souls" that my dumb friend used
diablo 3 is a pve game anon
>>342587940

>>342572582
battleborn is also the ugliest looking game in existence. Just look up some gameplay and just look how horrid it is. UI, animations and graphics looks utterly disgusting.
>>342568606
I don't give a fuck one way or the other but I'm sure Battleborn's performance has at least tripled the cost of its production so who the fuck cares.
>>342573024
Fighting games requires SKILL and it's 1v1, which means you can't blame your team even though you're trash. It's generally why you don't see fighting games on /v/, everyone is filthy casuals here.

>>342587747
This and the fact every neo-blizzard games are like that : a very shiny exterior that maintain the illusion of a solid game for a couple weeks and after that you start to feel Neo-Blizzard's usual control obsession that demands you play the game exactly as they wanted with little room to differ. It makes their games become bland and boring very fast.
OW follow the same pattern : great character design, amazing graphics with the depth of a paddling pool and enormous gameplay design flaws. One week in and I was already bored.

I hope they make a singleplayer campaign or more animated shorts. I'm interested in where they want to take the story.

What are you talking about? Let's break it down.
MOBA
M - Multiplayer. Check.
O - Online. Check.
B - Battle. Check.
A - Arena. Check.
OW is a MOBA, idiot.
>>342582873
You know what the worst part is? I actually gave this game a shot since it was only ten dollars at Best Buy.
I regret everything. Why are people even comparing it to Overwatch? The multiplayer is literally a first person MOBA where you can't see anything because the entire map is constantly drenched in blue and purple explosions and sparks. Even at fully-reduced particles you can't see shit, especially if you're playing a character like Burch Witch where your weapon takes up 60% of your screen.
The game is so bad that I'm considering returning it even at the bargain bin pricing.
>>342592998
CS is also a moba now.
>>342576698
>tfw waifus galore in games from now on
THANKS BLIZZARD. Waifu even in FPS
>>342592998
>genre acronyms are literal
Spot the fucking moron
>>342587684
i don't get it
BLIZZARD WINS AGAIN!!! I LOVE THAT COMPANY WOOO! HAHA WE DID IT
>>342574834
I was hyped for Evolve,bought the DLC edition or whatnot. Got 400 hours out of it-game died.
I got hyped for Battleborn - bought the DLC edition or whatever - got 150 hours out of it - game died.
Bought Overwatch knowing it would be a solid product. Playing all the time,having fun and absolutely sure it won't die for years to come.
For Evolve and Battleborn I blame fucking 2K. It's my most hated publisher now. Fuck 2K.
>>342592998
MOBA or ARTS (Action Real Time Strategy).
>>342579001
>play two or three matches against bots
>jump into a real game versus people
>get accused nearly instantly by your teammates to be "griefing"
nah, mobas are full of shit
>>342592998
Yes and HoI4 is an RTS
after all WW2 was real, there's time passing in the game and it involves strategy
I want to marry Mercy and start a family with her!
>>342573149
Never said team... never even said hero based what the fuck anon
Tim Willits never said either of those things retard

Too bad she is a lesbian.

Why does this layout reminds me alot of what UT2003/2004 achieved with their onslaught game mode ?
>>342594824
>unmarried
>a mystery
>Widowmaker says to her "you must really like me"
>bliz said there is 1 lesbian
>>342571609
Same deal as always.
Copied a good game, added shit ton of marketing, slightly casualized it, added a "Made by notActivision Blizzard" stamp and off you go helping count the millions.
I mean, it's not like there's anything wrong with that.
Overwatch, Starcraft,... all of those games are still great fun in their own right.
Better than what they did with shit like Heartstone of HotS, at least.
>>342594926
Meanwhile, Lucio is literally based on a homosexual. Also, they said there would be an LGBT character. They never said it'll be one of the base 21.
>>342595238
>male
>lesbian
>>342595302
They never said lesbian, famalam. They said LGBT.
>>342595302
he identifies as a women cis faggot
>>342577547
Perhaps the same could be said of all fighting games.
>>342595360
>>342595364
I thought they said 1 bi and 1 lesbian.
>>342571609
It features:
>donkey kong
>red dead redemption
>tanned samus aran
>pudge
>Clint Westwood
>die cis scum
>gamer gurl
>wall-e
>poo in the loo
>grey fox
>warhammer guy
>demoman
>heal slut
>engineer
>dalai lama
>jet set radio
>edgy guy
Really, what could have gone wrong?
>>342595426
Unless they changed it, they never specified what part of "LGBT" they'd be. Could be a tranny, for all we know.
>>342581202
You clearly don't know her ability to murder everyone at close range.
>>342581202
Symmetra can destroy everyone in close combat once her beam is charged, anon.
>>342570649
>>Soon CoD will fucking become a mobalite fps
Nope. It won't. COD's comfy right where it is.
>>342595619
Only when the opponents are shit.
>>342572293
>>342577518
more in-game widow ass please
especially that one of her body bent over the railing
>>342595541
>>342595619
Chaining the beam on a new target after each kill is the best fucking feeling.
>>342595850
>>342595945
oh yeah thats the stuff
>>342573464
Smash 64 didn't have any waifus though.
Melee didn't have many either.
I want to have rough russian buttsex with Zarya.
>>342596074
I hope you like receiving, anon
>>342581459
Yeah, so? TF2 started something, so what's the problem with other games taking cues from it? I played the fuck out of TF2 to the point that I'm growing tired of it. Overwatch feels like a nice game to segue into as a result.
>>342572293
Somebody post that other Torb + widowass webm
>>342571609
Whether people accept this or not
>great character designs
>pixar look (this is literally what normies crave)
>simple to understand, takes medium skill to master
>FAST games (people have lives)
>rewards for leveling are good
It's a fun game and anyone that says otherwise is just a jaded /v/bitch
>>342571609
>They stripped out the stuff that discourages new players (letting other people see your stats)
>cute cartoony art design rated T ala WoW
>Highly accessible
>Short games
>Different playstyles
Can play it and do well shitfaced or otherwise inebriated (not all characters require precise aim)
>you can literally pick up and play Reinhardt not knowing shit about the game, just hold up your shield and walk forward the whole match and be an asset to your team
>elimination system rewards all players involved in a kill
>packed to the gills with mechanics that reward you constantly
Honestly the worst thing about this game is playing with people who don't communicate or have a sense of strategy.
>>342596190
Nothing, that wasn't the point of the post. There's nothing wrong with it, but rather Overwatch seemingly being more popular than Tf2 is not reason to just sweep tf2 under the rug and not acknowledge it simply be because something that came after became more popular. Give credit where it's due.
How is Blizz going to afford the bandwidth for 50 trajillion players for 10 years?

So one time, in Numbami, me and a friend of mine were on defense, he was Mercy and I was Symmetra, and we had a Lucio off healer.
We had managed to get the enemy team all clustered in that one tiny room to the right of the first capture point. I was just harassing with my giant blue balls, and my friend was taking potshots with Mercy's pistol. We hear lucio use his ult and see our life bar jump like crazy.
It's time. Me and my friend dive into that pit of enemies, he switches to the damage up beam, and I go in there with lmb. Oh man. I killed all their offensive heroes and melted their Roadhog. My beam was fucking massive by the time I hit Roadhog with it.
>>342596574
As my friend later described it, it was like going in there with a water hose and they were made of cardboard.
>>342571609
You know, people keep saying marketing. Which in a sense is true, but they didn't have to spend a gorillian dollars doing it.
The Open beta is what made the game so popular in my opinion. When you allow over 10 million people to try your game for free before it launches so they can form an opinion, its a good thing.
These days, good games have demos. Shit games do not.
>>342596759
Wasn't the open beta literally like 2 days
>>342596550
30hz tick probably helps
A PC Overwatch player has direct exposure to WoW and Hearthstone
>>342596759
Demos are an amazing selling tool, I don't understand why they went away.
Those old PS demo disks with like 16 games on them were the shit. Last actual demo I played was for the first Bioshock.
>>342596858
And it was enough. It was advertised on their own sites, so they easily persuaded the players of their other games to try it out. Word of mouth about the game doing that and after helped a lot too.
>>342596858
It was much longer than that. I think it was like a week? Cause it took my casual normie friend two days to even install the game.
Fucking casuals.
>>342597037
I'm pretty sure it was a week only for those that preordered
>>342568606
k
Still looking more forward to Gigantic, I really couldn't get into Overwatch personally.
>>342587183
did you get NEETbux?

>braindead casual so even your mom could play it
case in point >>342571745
>female characters are all bimbos that appeal to children and neckbeards
>hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into marketing
this is it. there's nothing else. this is the recipe for success.
>>342597652
This.
It uses every little trick to appeal to the casual market and it does it well. Since casuals make up big portion of the population....well you figure out the rest.
>>342597125
Nope, didn't preorder. It was like 8 days because they extended it one extra day
>>342597196
neat looking character
