Hell, Blizzard should already know this. World Of Warcraft has been going for over 16 years! 16 years without a sequel! Just updates and expansions. It's a business model Blizzard is already familiar with yet it still went along with making Overwatch 2. A decision I can only assume was influenced by the malevolent ruler of Activision, Bobby Kot

A few in-menu gameplay shots had a section below the player’s information that was blurred out throughout the video. However, one screenshot circulating on the webs shows a shot of Junkrat’s Talents menu wherein the text in question is visible. It reads "CLAN

But by essentially disabling the first Overwatch, Blizzard is fucking over people who paid money for the game. It doesn’t matter if they get free content for owning the first game - it doesn’t mean anything if you can’t still play original content you specifically paid for. I don’t care if Overwatch 2 is bigger and badder than ever before! When I buy a game, I’d love to be able to play that game. And if you’re shutting down a game’s online capabilities, at least be honest about it. Don’t talk like you’re doing people some grand favor.

As we all know, Blizzard is owned by Activision. And if there's any company that loves putting out sequel after sequel, it's Activision. We still get a New Support hero Juno Call Of Duty game every single year, which is insane since that means we're going on 16 years straight of COD sequels. But that method hasn't worked for other games. This strategy almost killed the Tony Hawk franchise and did kill the Guitar Hero franchise. In fact, it pretty much snuffed out the entire plastic instrument sub-genre of rhythm ga

Setting aside the humor behind the "C9" reference, this screenshot could indicate Clans and/or Guilds coming to Overwatch 2 — and across all other Blizzard games. It’s a feature long anticipated by Blizzard communities and could be coming with Overwatc

Overwatch 2 is a faster game than its predecessor, but even then, it had a mix of slower to faster moments. For those who want less pressure on the gas peddle, there is arguably no better choice than Rainbow Six Sie

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

Compare that situation to that of games like Apex Legends . As someone who hopped over from Overwatch to Apex, I can say that it feels much more alive at the moment thanks to seasonal updates. The maps are always being altered and updated ( and sometimes there's a new one! ), there's a new character every season, and there's plenty of new events, modes, and rewa

Just because a sequel exists doesn’t mean I don’t want to play the original. When Warcraft 3 came out, I didn’t want Warcraft 2 erased from existence - even if Warcraft 3 had more content. When I play Smash Bros. Ultimate, I don’t wish Nintendo would break every copy of Smash Bros. Melee with their bare hands. Let me repeat that: even when a new game contains all or most of the content of a previous game, that doesn’t mean the previous game should have a bullet put in the back of its head. Especially if there are fundamental differences in the way games play out. Smash. Bros Ultimate may have the content of Melee, but the two feel different.

The string of failed franchises adopting this business model should have been a sign that it won't work for every game. But this is Activision we're talking about and learning things isn't one of its strong suits. So because the method of unending sequels has worked for Call Of Duty, Activision applies the same strategy to all of its games. Hence why Overwatch 2 exists even though it should

But, you might be thinking, "Sure, Blizzard may be making it impossible to enjoy the game you bought while forcing you to play a different game - but can’t you still be Mercy in Overwatch 2?" And the answer is, "Yes, but who gives a shit?" Oh, goodness! What a fucking deal! If I paid money for the original Overwatch, I get the courtesy of unlocking all the characters I already paid for ? Talk about a good value! Thank you, Blizzard, sir! Thank you! What is going on here? Why is this cool with us?

It's been a strange week of ups and downs for Sonic. Netflix announced that its upcoming 3D animated series will be called Sonic Prime and is coming to the streaming service in 2022. Meanwhile, several long-time voice actors from the series revealed that they won't be returning to their signature roles. Roger Craig Smith , Colleen O’Shaughnessey , and Cindy Robinson have revealed that they won't be returning to voice Sonic, Tails, and Amy in Sonic Prime. Luckily, Eggman voice actor Mike Pollock has confirmed that he will continue to voice the villain in video games but did not confirm whether he would perform Robotnik in the Netflix Ser

Recent job listings indicate that WBIE is working on a variety of new games, so it's possible we haven't seen the end of the Nemesis System entirely. Whether the mechanic shows up in another Middle-Earth sequel or perhaps in the upcoming Harry Potter game is unknown, but what is known is that few, if any, developers will get the chance to use the Nemesis System in other games — at least until the patent expi
