OK, I’m definitely feeling a lot better about this being delayed by a few days. This is massive!

When you use in game sound like that you’re limited with what assets you have. Makes you have to be creative. But yes, Dan Bull still rules the OW rap scene. If you want the best in game audio usage, that is still ruled by Have Luck Good Fun.

Right. And when they’re tired of rehashing their concepts, they pick the hot new concept other games are rehashing.

They should have gave it a new name. They’re doing it a real disservice by trying to tie it to an old franchise singular game when it has nothing to do with it anymore. People will be judging it for that instead of letting people see it as a game in its own right. Said the same for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Everything is at least partially derivative or something else but I see more where you’re going when you say Power Stone. It sounds like you really want a hard sci-fi setting Power Stone rather than Paragon with completely different gameplay.

So... Overwatch?

Imitation is the best form of flattery. But I am impressed on how much and how soon Blizzard is thinking outside the box here.

Yeah, this isn’t encouraging. Lots of wasted potential here. Tries too hard to be edgy, the voice acting and sound design is just terrible, they are apparently made of tin, and the first reveal of a combiner battle makes it look like combiners aren’t much more than regular transformers with massive hit boxes.

Why anyone would want to bet on the only athletic association more crooked than FIFA is beyond me.

CATCH PHRASE!

Look, you want to cheat in a single player game go to town. The devs will hand you the codes themselves. But the moment you cheat in a multiplayer game you’re depriving honest players of the experience they paid for. If you interfere with the product that other people paid their honest money for, the just and fair…

That is not actually the issue at all. It’s the payment processors that handle the actual transactions. Often by the time they detect potential fraud, it’s too late. Even worse, when a fraudulent buyer cancels the transaction themself, after the key had been sold, that plus fees that often amount to more than the game…

The fact that players can reach it now is a pretty gigantic exploit, and it will almost certainly be patched asap.

HOW CLASSY OF YOU TO PICK ON MY TEAM YOU JERK WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE VIKINGS WON ANY-haha couldn’t keep a straight face. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

People need to learn the difference between playing a prank and being a dick. (This is coming from someone who doesn’t play GO.)

The overall style isn’t flawed. In my eyes it’s only that you gave the player models spindly limbs and cartoonish animation. You don’t have to sacrifice the playability qualities you stated. Just tweak those things a bit so that it doesn’t look so much like it’s trying to tell me friendship is magic.

Because it was just as likely he was pretending to give up only to juke them again.

Jeff Kaplan: Actually I read that article, and I sent the link around to some of the other designers here because a lot of us were in agreement with what you were saying in that article.
