The Fall Of Titan, The Rise Of Overwatch
GameSpot has produced a trio of videos featuring interviews with several members of the Blizzard development team behind the cancelled project Titan. In these candid interviews developers acknowledge mistakes made on Titan and the pain of the failure. However, out of the ashes of Titan came Overwatch, set to be released in May. You can watch all three videos, about an hour's worth of interviews, below. Let us know what you think in the comments!

and, repeating myself, the 60$ version is the bloody collector's edition.
the normal version comes at 30 bucks, no idea why you bitching folks never actually check the infos before you complain... but hey, after all i will say this again in at least a month, to someone else who neither read the pricing and decided to start crying right away.
cheers love, the cavelery is here!
and quite frankly, if you are not willing to pay 30$ or € for a game, you might concider playing mobile games ^^

** Opinion by not having played Overwatch yet, only Battleborn. Have only watched Overwatch on Twitch streams and opinion based on watching what seems to be a less organized, chaotic mess.
Battleborn is also not bad. But it will be dead game very soon.
It will simply never manage to build enough people to keep servers populated at 60$ asking price ( not at PC in any case )
All other games of its kind are F2P , and except of Blizzard nobody can pull asking money for something that is free at the market. And even they are entering bit of the risk

When a game like Titanfall boasted their ego for ditching the single player campaign to focus more on the online pvp mode but then releasing with few maps on the roaster, it's not a good sign. Just like other people said, there's f2p alternatives. If they are going to ask a price infront to play the game I expect more content.
I'm sure blizzard will deliver but I kinda see it as a trend on those fps/moba games launching with a handful of maps and people getting bored quickly.
All I'm saying is; If you are saving money from making a singleplayer campaign and stuff, shouldn't you on the other hand have more stuff for the pvp modes? Cause it hasn't happened yet. They ditch a side of a game claiming to be focusing on one part only but then launch with the same amount of content the same type of game releases and having both.

Love it or hate it , Blizzard DO put passion in all their project and actually they do care about their gamers.
Keep it up!

Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
That anyone would do business with that company after Aliens: Colonial Marines just blows my mind. Do you not understand how they scammed people? How they lied directly to the players and the gaming press? How they defrauded Sega and used the money for ACM on Borderlands 2 instead? How that sack of shit Pitchford still won't admit any responsibility for what happened?
But I guess all that isn't as important as a shiny new game, eh? They dangle their keys in your face, and you're chomping at the bit.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

It certainly doesn't surprise me that Overwatch was created by the leftovers of a terrible game. It shows and plays like it.
"$60 for pvp maps? Ha! How dumb you look now!
It's $40."
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
In the past, a game like this would have both pve and pvp and put a lot more effort to add variety. It's a fun game but it's still very shallow and not really worth the price tag.
I am not crying over it being moved out of Overwatch. Much better they focus on doing one thing right. Should the IP take off we can get a story driven game in a year or three. Preferably one that is focused on the single player or co-op part from the start.
Overwatch give me what i want from it... A more interesting TF2 with superheroes that has the Blizzard polish. For that i am willing to fork over for the CE.
And i do not give a fuck if people like @Demogorgon think that this is being a sheep... Because by that logic they are too.
This have been a good conversation
I played Overwatch only on the 2 free weekends and played it more than other games I already paid for. And I dont think that you can get this quality for free. Paladins is good too, but feels way rougher and the champions are without any soul.
In OW you can like/hate/feel something for every hero bc they are designed so awesome. The UI is clean and you always understand what happens.
In Battleborn there is too much - and as they said in the videos, this is something they avoided in OW. BB might be good game, I liked the PvE Missions, but for PvP I enjoyed OW a lot more.
And I played both games (and Paladins, Paragon, Gigantic ..), not like some ppl here that didnt played any of them or only one ^^
Who ever didnt played Overwatch, play it in the Open Beta and after that you can complain about stuff.

It is a matter of taste... But unlike you i am not so narrow minded that i think of others as sheep for not liking my exact preference.
Either that or you go through life with a cynical scowl towards EVERYTHING... And if so i pity you.
