A Blizzard animated short featuring Winston:  Recall

Also, a recent patch(of the closed beta I'm still not in) added "Brawls", where they will have weekly modified rulesets much like Hearthstone.

Another one featuring Widowmaker:  Alive.

I gotta wonder how much these cost to make, they are kinda ridiculously high quality.

[Puzzlemaker]

Yeah, a lot of story being them.  It's interesting.  Definitely copied from TF2.

[Neonivek]

Yeah, a lot of story being them.  It's interesting.  Definitely copied from TF2.

Given some classes feel outright ripped off from them... I actually thought Valve made this game.

Well that is just the Blizzard way. They rarely do something completely new, they mostly refine formulas. Which is nothing bad as long as they keep up their good Quality.

Hardcore gamer ster_ agrees with you.

[MaximumZero]

I'm in the closed Beta. (Thanks, employer!) If anyone else is in, my Battle.net name is MaximumZero. (If you need the number in my apparent actual username, it's MaximumZero#1460.)

[EnigmaticHat]

Lucky bastard.

[Wolfeyez]

I did not make it into this round of beta but my battle tag is Wolfeyez#11499 for anyone who want to add me. * grumbles at MaximumZero*

[Shadowlord]

Are they still charging for this instead of making it F2P?

[MaximumZero]

Yes, it's being released as a AAA title. $40 for standard edition, $60 for Origins edition. This is Blizzard we're talking about, here. I'm shocked that HotS didn't have an up front cost. Then again, the vast majority of MOBAs are freemium, and Overwatch's only competition is TF2, which is how old now?

A few things:

1)  A mini character introduction comic they made about McCree.  https://comic.playoverwatch.com/en-us/mccree-train-hopper

2)  A mini character introduction comic they made about Reinhardt (Which I just found out about as I was searching for the McCree one). https://comic.playoverwatch.com/en-us/reinhardt-dragon-slayer

3)  Open Beta starts on Thursday, May 5th and runs until the 9th, if anybody wants to give it a shot. 

[Levi]

Welp, I'm an idiot.   

I thought both the early access beta codes were "friend" codes, and didn't realize one of them I was supposed to use myself.  If anybody happens to have an extra early access beta code they don't need, I'm totally appreciate it!   

Whew, managed to get one. 

[MaximumZero]

Note: Closed beta started at 7pmEST today if you have a preorder code.

[EnigmaticHat]

I preordered for that just now and it turns out it has to have been by April 29th

I mean I was going to buy the game anyway (even if its bad, I've been too invested in following the game and watching youtube videos about it to honestly say I won't get it) but still. Disappointing.
