It looks really neat and all but I'm getting huge TF2 vibes from it which I'm not sure what to say about. The design in the areas look pretty fucking good and apparently one class has a hookshot

Looks good, Blizzards first new IP in like 17 years. . .


Wonder how it'll do? Big step for them - I like the TF2 vibe from it

I'm fine with a TF2 ripoff, especially if its done by Blizzard

TF2's been out for a good time and is pretty dated, it's 'bout time for a competitor

The video looks like a great cinematic...definitely not yet sold on the game though, especially with Blizzards recent track record.

looks fun as hell, yeah its pretty obviously a TF2 clone but being a clone doesnt mean it'll be bad, alot of times it usually leads to the game being really solid just not as original.

Not sure what to say about the game yet. But I can say that as usual, when it comes to animated videos or cut-scenes, Blizzard is still no 1 in the video game industry.

wow! first person shooter! much original, very entertainment

Sarcasm aside, the game does look decent despite that it's really the last thing we need in an already saturated market. I would prefer they just turn the debut trailer into a full blown movie myself, but I'll give Blizz some creds just for branching out of their comfort zone a little bit and trying a genre they're unfamiliar with. It doesn't seem to happen often with devs these days.

some of the classes look super fun, though reaper seems a little faceroll.

it's a good time to announce a tf2 clone as well since the game is becoming stale. looking forward to this.

I got many Global Agenda vibes from it

other then the fact it is using a character based system not class based. and the art style of course.

According to cinematic trailer, kids from 5 to 10 years old are the target audience.

as much I could care less about TF2 I never say it is bad. TF2 is completely average at everything.

I've also compared it to Tf2 at first until I understood I'd be an idiot to do that. They're too different. The only thing that seems the same are the default classes that are almost in every FPS game anyway.

Instead this is indeed like Unreal Tournament with characters that have special abilities and 3rd person. I don't know if their abilities will be based on levels though, if they will, then it'll be a FPS with MOBA elements.

Anyway, this is Blizzard we're talking about. If they pick up an idea, be sure that you'll see a lot of success, otherwise they wouldn't have thought of even picking it up in the first place. They just haven't ever actually failed, they just can't get to their old level, or so I see it at least.

It looks really good. But I´ll have to pass with the simple reason that I haven´t got much money and a multiplayer only game isn´t worth 60 bucks for me.

If it's free to play I might give it a try, else I'm not really interested in FPS. Wished they would've made a movie out of it, that cinematic trailer is awesome as always.

I'm certain it will be a success, but I keep getting reminded that the old blizz is as dead as squaresoft.
