Sombra is one of the newest heroes that has been introduced to the game, and many consider her to be the weakest. The only reason that she's not at the bottom of this list is her ultimate. Shields are one of the most important elements in the game right now, and Sombra's ability to neutralize all shields by pressing a button makes her slightly more useful than some of the other heroes in this tier. On top of that, her ultimate has one of the easiest charges in the game, allowing her to swing team fights in her team's fa
Blizzard promised us new maps in 2017, and boy did they deliver! The new king-of-the-hill map Oasis was released just three days into the new year. Now that's what you call making good on a promise. With 362 more days in the year, though, Overwatch players are wondering what else may be in the works for the development team. Oasis comes chock-full of backstory as a technologically advanced utopia society, founded by eight of the world's leading scientists. Despite having killer traffic (watch out, the cars will knock you off the map!) and boasting an amazing elevator of death, the three Oasis maps are actually quite symmetrical and seemingly basic. King-of-the-hill maps are fun, but players are also hoping to see more payload or multiple objective maps in the future. And although a flashy story is nice, fans also want to see more of the places they've already seen in Overwatch 's digital shorts and comics. Can we build upon the lore a little more before expanding the unive
Instead, we’re opting to give Zenyatta and Winston’s voice actors the job. That approach is a little easier to argue in the case of Zenyatta, given that the robotic character’s distinctly modified tones don’t leave much room for someone to actually apply their own acting style, but there is an argument that someone could make Winston their own. However, as a non-CG Winston would likely be a pretty awkward prospect, it doesn’t seem worth it to recast the actor when you consider what a fantastic job Crispin Freeman has done with the r
The answer: Roadhog. Reaper suffers because Roadhog is basically a better version of him. At higher levels in particular, no one is going to play reaper when they could have a Roadhog doing the same thing. Roadhog can completely nullify certain enemy ultimates while Reaper can only get himself out of harm's way. Reaper is fun to play and can be effective, but there's a better version of him in the tank class, making his role nonexistent in many high-level matc
Let's be honest, when Overwatch fans complain, it's with a grain of salt. We've got it pretty good. Blizzard is known for listening to their community and responding quickly to dissatisfaction or unintended consequences, while always keeping their fans informed. Overwatch 's development team is no different. It's like they are themselves an elite global task force recruited with one common goal: to deliver a fun and competitive gaming experie
Those characters are also why many fans have found themselves dreaming of an Overwatch movie. While the game affords the player a few glimpses at its world and the characters that inhabit it, the fact that so much of the universe’s lore is kept under wraps has only fueled fans' desire for an extended look at the intangibles that make Overwatch special . Of course, if an Overwatch movie is going to work, the casting has to be perf

Aside from that, Kingdom’s of Amalur’s trash talking has me wanting to play the game for a brand new reason. I’ve got a fighting thirst that I want to quench with Soul Calibur V and UFC Unleashed 3 , and I still haven’t given up on Syndicate tossing together a solid FPS Game News experience. I’m gonna go ahead and toss in Skyrim too because let’s face it, I don’t know if I’ll finish that monster by this time next y
Blizzard used to have a very close relationship with Nintendo. As a company, they used to be called Silicon & Synapse, and they produced several games for the Super Nintendo. These included titles like RPM Racing and The Lost Vikings. As time went on, Blizzard moved towards the PC gaming market, which has become their main focus. They still port some of their games to consoles, but these usually take a backseat to the PC versions of the ga
The director of Overwatch was asked about the possibility of a port of the game on the Nintendo Switch . He didn't seem positive but didn't rule it out entirely either. It's entirely possible that Blizzard is waiting for the Switch to ship more units before making a decision on a port, as it already takes them a lot of resources to update the numerous versions of the g
