    Blizzard is producing their first new franchise in 17 years. Overwatch is going to be a team based shooter. It will Beta in 2015. See the info here

    I can almost guarantee you it does. Granted you never know with Blizzard. They have so much money at this point, they can pick and choose how they want to approach things. (As opposed to most developers which need to maximize profits by maximizing platforms their games are on)

    It looks like Blizzard even went as far as to tailor maps so that each playstyle/character has a distinct advantage of some sort in some areas.

    Seems like it might be the next TF2 (and I don't mean that in a bad way).

    my thoughts exactly. lot's of the characters are VERY similar to those in TF2 in terms of abilities. i wonder if blizzard hired those game designers from valve.

    They need to make this a movie, too. The cinematic trailer was fantastic.

    That was one of the best parts of the trailer, haha.

    I thought the older brother, when putting on the gauntlet / using it, was going to turn into some hulking dude.

    It's not like a MOBA at all. It's more like Team Fortress 2.
