So Blizzard have this cool new game coming out sometime soon and there's no doubt a lot of people starting to get interested in it. This video sets out to explain exactly what Overwatch is. While I think for regular viewers of my channel this will seem incredibly basic, this video hopefully serves as a good introduction you can show a friend who has no idea about the game presented to the standard that I hope you guys are coming to expect.
In the video, we'll go over what the game is exactly, as well as a lot of misconceptions, and why you should be excited. If you've got unanswered questions, feel free to ask 'em.
▶▶ FAQ
▶ No Team Deathmatch?
I believe they want to focus on having objectives to play around that emphasise teamwork - you want a reason to all get together and make a big push to cap the last point or move the payload those last few inches. Makes for those highlight moments rather than 6 v 6 running around randomly.
▶ What Are the Minimum Specifications/Graphics Options?
We don't know quite yet. While they'll have graphics options (although not to the level of something like say, Quake 3 with no textures), they're still working on optimisation and getting the min spec. Blizzard have a fairly good track record on this though.
▶ YEAH!
YEAH!
▶ Who Is the Cyborg Ninja? What About the Other Characters On That Poster?
There's a few really good theories floating around about it being Hanzo's brother, but we don't know. Sorry!
As for the other characters, we'll just have to wait and see. From what I've been told, hero ideas are in no short supply - the real issue is getting them all in and working!
▶ Macs?
Unfortunately the game has only been announced for PC for now. I'm sure they'd love to bring it to Mac at some point, however. When? No idea, sorry.
▶ You're Totes the Coolest What's Your Twitter and Twitch?
Why thank you imaginary person I made up, you are too kind. I am @One_AmongstMany on twitter and ESL_OneAmongstMany on twitch.
