14 DAY TRIAL // In case you're looking for more information on Blizzard Entertainment's upcoming team-based multiplayer shooter Overwatch, you should definitely check out the video below.
While not providing any additional gameplay footage aside from what Blizzard has already revealed, due to the NDA that early alpha players had to sign, the video delivers a ton of useful information regarding how the game feels.
Overwatch has been compared to Valve's Team Fortress 2, and YouTube user Star_ has addressed this issue, talking about the similarities and differences between the two, pointing out that it's rather similar to Counter-Strike in many ways, due to the focus on team interaction and abilities.
The game looks great at first glance, but you can't really tell how good a multiplayer shooter is unless you actually get some hands-on time with it, and the player recounts his experience, telling how he had a lot of expectations of what the game would be like before sitting down, which were promptly turned on their head.
For the time being, it would appear that Blizz's team-based multiplayer shooter revolves around teamplay much more than around individual skill and crazy movement abilities, but a lot is prone to change in the coming months.
The makers of Overwatch are looking to launch a closed beta test sometime this fall, so it's going to be a while until we get a chance to try it out for ourselves.
