Is the success of Overwatch gonna finally show developers that art style is more important than photorealism?

How do you slap "blizzard" on a game other than being blizzard...

Shitskin is getting really angry now

Whatever helps you sleep at night, man.

>diabetes joke
easy now ahmed dont blow your load this early with the american jokes

>dont blow your load this early with the amer. jokes

maximum kek

Publishers will focus on the failure of Battleborn instead, this industry can never learn the right lessons from anything.

Agreed.

people are literally only playing overwatch for the LE QT GIRLS and inevitable SFM porn of them

But it's fun

fun doesn't matter to modern gamers. all modern gamers care about is waifus and smut. there is no difference between overwatch and something like rapelay or senran kagura. they dont care about gameplay. they just want memes, porn, and meme porn (and porn memes)

t. triggered feminist

More like retards only play for the skins and look boxes.

That's not been my experience at all but OK.
Hope you're getting fresh air sometime soon.

get off Cred Forums already lol.

...

name ONE (1) game whose players aren't just there for the porn

No. Everyone calls Over watch kiddy shit. Devs will take the wrong message and just make kiddy shit.

dominions 4

Yes, because it is the very first game to be stylized. Nobody has ever been so brave as to buck the photo realism trend before. Thank God Overwatch dared to dream.

You mean the game about rampant incest and LITERALLY choosing a waifu in that you choose the wife of your character over and over?

>literally Pixar

Call me again when Blizzard manages to make something genuinely original.

i don't think were talking about the same game user. Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension

That pose looks really uncomfortable. It's like she can't decide whether or not she wants to look sexy, with her arched back and pushing out her breasts, or if she wants to be cool by pointing at the camera, gangster style.

What the fuck is that even supposed to be?

She's an awkward gaymur gurl who may or may not be post-op Shinji Ikari, it's entirely in character for her to do stupid shit like that.

It genuinely looks painful. I wonder if the animator is an actual contortionist.

call of booty is still stupid popular so no

delet dis

It's not painful.

Hellgate London
Torchlight
Firefall

Am I missing anything else? Guild Wars doesn't really count.

how bad is your back, user?

Blizz really is better at making art, visuals and characters than they are at making good gameplay. I'd say they should just make CG movies instead but regardless of their great character design and concepts they somehow manage to suck at dialogue and story

Photorealism and sensible style are both good. Photorealism is ideal for immersive games and cartoonish is best for games with slapstick comedy and zanyness (like TF2 and Overwatch)

But never, ever for serious or dark games, hence why D3 was so laughable and cheesy compared to D1/D2

Also cartoonish can be done horribly wrong, like with Battleborn, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 or LoL. Photorealism on the other hand, as long as it's good looking, is always a sure thing.

Not flexible enough to make a near 90 degree angle with my ass. But I'm also a real human bean and not a fictional character, so who knows.

>art style
>nu blizzard

lmao thats deviantart tier

>Photorealism on the other hand, as long as it's good looking, is always a sure thing.

Problem being it never actually looks good, since it ages like pre-soured milk.

SS13
Overwatch
Dwarf Fortress
TF2
Dominions 4
Starcraft
C&C
Most games

I dunno, user; Majora's Mask was pretty cartoony and yet it still managed to have a pretty great dark atmosphere. I just think blizz fucked D3 up unilaterally.

and this sickdark shit isnt deviantart tier?

>I'm also a real human bean
You got that right, King Autism.

nope sickdark is lovecraft tier.

>sickdark
Now, that takes me back.

>deviantart tier
You literally described OP

...

sickdark needs to make a comeback

DotA 2 and lol are played by tens of millions and are 2 of the most popular games in the world and they are stylized.
All the popular WRPGs released recently like witcher 3 and fallout 4 are stylized.
Destiny sold tons and looks very stylized
The photorealism is the main focus for devs is a meme for people who only play cod, battlefield and AAA ubisoft games

Overwatch has shit graphics so it runs on every computer. Same with every TF2 shooter that will ever come out, MOBA, whatever has to appeal to literally everyone

Witcher blends stylisation and realism whereas FO4 looks like ass.

Not necessarily true. It depends on the game. Overwatch does what it does well, others do what they do.

>FO4 is stylized
In what way? When it comes to human models, Bethesda games always involve cheap (and unsuccessful) attempts at realistic visuals.

>You should only use this style of art because overwatch did well
No

...

>nailed the look
>fat-positive chink
>bull dyke slav

You are wrong
One of the highest priorities of Blizzard is good game feel.
All their games feel good and smooth to play compared to their competitors.
Their gameplays shallow so its more accessible though

Well it's not photorealistic or tries to be.
It still looks shit though

League of Legends already showed this

Dota 2 is the superior game yet LoL is more popular because of the waifu skins

But dota 2 isnt realistic.
Also lol is more popular because
>it came out at right time when dota1 was getting to Janky and HoN dug its own grave
>came out during the early days of streaming
>easier than dota2
>actually marketed to Southamerican, Nordic and Asian countries
>short games

After all the fucking changes made at Reddit's suggestion I don't even know if I can call Dota 2 superior anymore.

>very first game to be stylized

I think he was being sarcastic, dude.

Dota 2 as of now is peak dota. Its hasnt been anymore balanced

It's balanced, but buyable exp, scans and ap really makes me wonder what direction this game is heading.

>being this retarded

Stop posting on Cred Forums. You need to be over the age of 10 to post here.

This thread is now about superior Team Fortress 2! Fuck your Overwatch, Blizzard sodomites! : )

You aren't a small skinny girl.

>more personality here than OP willing to admit. TF2 > Overwatch all day my nigger

Sex sells.

You know, now i just think, what if instead of blizzard, it would have been a company like compile heart that made/produce this game if it would have been praised or just called "Weeb shit" like every other Anime styled game.

I know this is bait, but I do wonder if TF2 fags realize that before Overwatch came out, that game and its fans were the butt of a a lot of jokes.
>Shit game
>boring
>children jacking off to getting hats
>shit memes

The list goes on.

I'll tell you what it will show.
No more fight'n games.

>First person shooter multiplayer pokémon

Sounds too strange to even be considered a possibility. Size differences would be a huge problem too

>First person shooter multiplayer Jojo

Could actually work.

>First person shooter multiplayer Batman

The most likely one. Not very hard to come up with abilities and stuff.

I'm still waiting for Nintendo to make a MOBA cash cow using all their IPs. We might have a chance at seeing some of the more obscure IPs/characters get some representation.

>>First person shooter multiplayer Batman
>most likely

It's because it actually happened. Gotham City Impostors was pretty shit though.

Gotham City Impostors was great excuse you.
But actually it was just a normal team based shooter with a Batman skin for some reason. The image clearly means with a hero formula like Overwatch.

I mean one where you play as the actual villains and heroes.
Batman could throw his batarangs,use his grappler gun for mobility,glide with his cape and stuff. His ult could be using the batmobile.
Joker would primarily use his revolver, he could throw his Laughing Gas to stun enemies. His ult could be becoming the Titan Joker.
I don't think I have to explain how Mr.Freeze would work.

Don't forget the furries. Drove me away from an otherwise great game.

Overwatch's art style is ugly though.
