We'll get to see some more detailed character models, in addition to a new HUD and a significant engine upgrade, which should make for some even more dazzling and smoother gameplay. At the very least, it should provide a refreshing experie
Still, while details are still sketchy at best - with even a release date yet to be announced - there have already been at least a handful of neat reveals about Overwatch 2 Season 16 2 which have us giddy. Yet, there are still many unaddressed elements and things we'd very much like to see in the game, which have yet to be touched
One of the neatest inclusions of Overwatch 2 has to be the new upgrades and customizations to hero abilities. Now, this will - at least initially - be limited to the PvE missions, as they would grant an unfair advantage over Overwatch 1 players. Still, it'll certainly be neat to take out hordes of Omnics with powers like Tracer's new juiced-up Pulse Bomb Ultimate, "Chain Reacti
While it's been announced that PvE missions will introduce various items that can be picked up - which will grant boosts like healing and shields - some sort of grabbable items and/or weapons for PvP could really make things interesting. Something similar to Smash Bros Ultimate , which tosses a myriad of game-changing items at you, could add an additional element of chaos and
We also need to talk about loot boxes, since Overwatch was responsible for increasing their popularity outside the mobile space. Ultimate Team was already a thing, but Blizzard showcased how easily cosmetic items could be monetised through random packages of goodies earned by either levelling up or buying them outright. I had friends who would set aside entire evenings during seasonal events to grind for boxes, hoping that Blizzard would be kind enough to let a legendary skin fall into their laps. None of them were playing for fun, instead waiting for that brief hit of serotonin that comes with a rare drop. Or they could spend money, and as the profits have long shown, so many of us went and did just that.
But what are the best tanks to dominate and protect one's team in this wild looter shooter? Following the latest release of Hazard , Overwatch 2 has a whopping 13 tanks to choose from. Each of them brings unique styles of play, and a necessity for situational awareness to counter opponents, protect one's team, and come out on the other side to claim vict
Each of the 32 heroes will also now be able to have their abilities upgraded and customized to the player's liking, and there will be the inclusion of a new story-based PvE mode set in Rio de Janeiro, for starters. There will even be a new game mode called Push, which will be played on the new map Toronto, among oth
He can leap about and take out foes fairly quickly with Violent Leap and Bonespur, while being generally disruptive against enemy pushes and defenses. As is the case with many new heroes, this dive-centric tank has proven quite impactful to the point of many calling him overpowered. Thus, time will tell if Blizzard keeps him the powerhouse he is, or if he sees some of his abilities dialed back a bit. But for now, he's worth trying out, as he can take on several roles and give the enemy lots of trouble in various w
Coming straight out of the success of one of the most pivotal games in history, GoldenEye , Perfect Dark had a lot to live up to, especially since it was a while after GoldenEye's release. However, they ultimately succeeded with the game being a success as players were able to wipe out aliens as the badass fighter, Joanna D
Games like Apex Legends and Fortnite have really shown the awesome potential and appeal of an epic, exciting battle-royale. While a hero-based shooter like Overwatch doesn't tend to mesh with this more equalized style of FPS, in which everyone starts at ground level, Blizzard could certainly make it w
Last week, a YouTuber called Graslu00 uploaded footage from a canceled GoldenEye 007 remaster on the Xbox 360. The game was developed in 2007, but according to the Xbox boss Phil Spencer, became locked in a complicated legal limbo over the rights to James Bond. Between Microsoft, Nintendo, and EON (the owners of the James Bond license), it was simply too difficult to come to an agreement on business terms, and the game was eventually shelved. Graslu00, whose video shows the game in its entirety, was cagey on where the new footage came from, saying only "patience is k
Square Enix revealed the next Final Fantasy 14 expansion during a livestream event yesterday. Called Endwalker , the expansion is set to conclude the current storyline and move the MMO into the next
Yet, the Ruins and Lighthouse portions of Illios also produce some fun battles, as they offer a diversity of higher and ground-level areas, as well as pits, obstructions, and other elements to shake things
Mitsuru Kirijo is one of the many people in the SEES Dormitory who joins the party in Persona 3 to make progress in Tartarus. She can seem a bit too strict at times, but it won't take long for players to figure out that her character is deeper than what she lets on. It's precisely why fans relish the idea of unlocking her Social Link after an unforgivably long w
