Overwatch: hands-on with Blizzards new shooter - PC Gamer

There's nothing really new in this article and I'm not sure why it's popping up today, but I couldn't help but think about Heroes of the Storm, just in shooter form. Are there ults in any shooters now (I haven't really touched the genre in ages)? Reaper and Valla even have the same ult.

edit: Blizzard just posted a bunch of photos on Overwatch to their main Facebook page with a link to beta opt in. Why are they hyping this up now? Beta soon?

Beta opt-in has been available since they revealed it at blizzcon. Though it does say beta 2015 in the article.

The character designs are awesome, but I have to wonder if Blizzard can make a shooter with good gunplay and/or interesting objectives.

I ran here to make a joke about Mist being a playable character now, but she's already here. The disappointment.

I wish I was built like that chick. Would make shoveling easier.

Funny part is you can tell it was a redo, I mean the face is nothing like a butch lesbian body builder chick, too lithe.

You know what, I take it back after looking at some more renders. Holy shit is that a manly jaw. That's like Carey Grant. Youtube still is tumblr pic skills.

Pretty much. Purely there because "people were whining for diversity, so just stick something in to satisfy them".

Eh who cares about the char design. I'd be more worried about the skillset which looks boring and bland as shit. A lot of their other heroes have pretty cool mechanics, she has like the most basic shit. Oh and one of these basic shit is an aoe disable, in a FPS. This is going to be really fun I can tell already.
