Blizzard's Overwatch is a well developed game but it clashes with its lore in the worst possible way. Blizzard attempts to fix this mistake by claiming their game "is not canon" to the world they've created but that's a cop-out if I've ever heard one. #activisionblizzard #blizzardentertainment #consistency
In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.
The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.
As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.
Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.
you'd think they'd test it before pushing it live, lol.
that being said, clearly it's not running as intended.
They know it for sure. Maybe they didn't finish optimizing the game by the targeted release date. That's why they released the Switch 1 30fps version first. XD
Nexon has entered a publishing agreement with Blizzard for Overwatch in Korea, with the companies working to deliver services 'tailored' for the region.
The four-part Blizzard Showcase will reveal “what comes next” for each series…
Nobody knows what ludonarrative dissonance is. It exists in almost every game. Why single out on Overwatch when many games do this.
Gameplay and Story not always have to be 100% true to each other. Not every game succeeds doing so. TLoU is one of the few that did this right, and Bioshock. Other games that fail to do this end up limiting the Gameplay choices to players.
In the case of Overwatch, every player knows or could careless about the lore. It is about having fun. Overwatch is a competitive game at heart, not a SP game or anything else. Blizzard could just dump the lore and players wouldn't even care because the MP is the meat of the game.
Overwatch has a story?
It's a multiplayer game with wild characters. The "story" is just there to give context to those characters. If people take the story seriously they need to play games with actual stories.
