Blizzard 2015: "JetPack Cat is too far beyond this scope of Overwatch so we thought we'd left it out" Blizzard 2018: "Here's a intelligent hamster with a mech that turns into a wrecking ball and drops proximity mines. You're welcome!"
A hamster in a ball makes more sense, since hamsters already are tied to balls when we think about them. The character becomes more interesting since it's something that we can recognise and the backstory that they made for him it's pretty convincing
I think the reason they held off on Hammond or a Hero like him is because they wanted to get a feel for what the audience would enjoy before releasing something that could hurt the popularity of the game in it's earlier stages. People seemed to really like Winston from the beginning, so it was pretty easy to keep him around. Not to mention, he really isn't in the same league as Hammond, in my opinion. Hammond seemed more campy and cartoony when he was first announced as opposed to how Winston seems. Idk. These are just my personal thoughts on the matter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On my feed 6y later. It’s so crazy to see what this game started as, and what it used to be. I started playing in s4 of ow2, so this was very enlightening for me.
@@bambampewpew32people say it was better cause it was fresh and new. Which is understandable. But modern is much more balanced and polished and overall better it just doesnt get the love anymore
@Dndnd Dnjejsirn You can’t say ‘nah shit Sherlock’ it sounds awful. Just say: *No shit Sherlock* When you replace ‘no’ with ‘nah’ it doesn’t make sense. Learn yo’ grammar.
The guy who announced overwatch looked like he hadn't slept in 3 days. Jeff comes on looking like he literally got out of bed 15 minutes ago. .. .. Just how hard were they working on this game, lol
Look at "Iris" 4:03 she is the exact looking character teased in brand new CG Overwatch mini movie "Reunion" for McCree.. wonder how many more of these concepts might make final release.
At 9:19 when you talk about the floor tiles freaking out, that's actually called "Z fighting". Basically it means two textures are "fighting" for dominance on the Z axis, so they flicker back and forth. Just a fun fact.
Dear Daddy Jeff, I have sinned today and I have come to pray for forgiveness from you O' Lord. Please bless us with your wisdom and your almighty power. Amen Dad
Recluse could be the junkertown queen. The art here and the posters in junkertown look similar and her having a mech in the concept are could be the mech that she would fight with in the junkertown arena
I knooow its crazy to think that at that time they were already like the game had evolve a lot and already had a nostalgia with the changes and then, here we are, 6 years later, with a lot of new characters and things, seeing this video
3:10 I think the ability set for Troy in the upper right corner was the inspiration for Brigitte. A flail, a shield, and a charge which is now a shield bash.
I was there at that fuckin BlizzCon when Overwatch came out with my guildies at the time. You are not wrong, nickel. The energy in that room post-trailer was unbelievable. Those first moments of getting to play it were incredible.
Iris became Echo in today's age. They also had recently given us a Hero called Venture which seems to have a similar design to Brit. 3:59 Maybe perhaps, bit by bit, these heroes designs may be added in later seasons. Hopefully Mama Hong lol
Hey! When going forward, here's some game design vocab you might want to include: - you mention the floor "Spazzing out", this is called Z-fighting! it occurs when two planes are fighting over the same space and the engine can't decide which one should be on top -you also mention tracer's "white squares" - these are called particles! so it was a particle placeholder they were using.
Not anymore. All great things find root in older wisdom. TF2 started out as another war shooter, but evolved over time (in development) to become an original dynamic. Over time, Overwatch has become a unique dynamic itself.
Gotta imagine that Reaper was made the 2nd playable character here because he dual wields guns like Tracer. While his animations were still janky it was probably easier to modify the rig from Tracer than to make a brand new one.
hey guys its me 6 years later. Anyoen else think phreak might be junkrat/JQ? attract sounds kinda like it could be jagged blade. Also, rumble looks like the orisa egyptian skin. Interesting how Echo's design barely changed but it took so long before we got her
How many hours would you guess it took to make Overwatch?

ohnickel 1,000,007 hours
2.65 seconds
24 x about 5 years
283 82 hours.
I think over two years
I love how almost all of these characters went through major changes but then we have reaper who was always reaper
He is bad ass
nothing can change perfection
and tracer who was always tracer
death has always been coming i guess.
Reaper had a pacman phase he collected souls/balls after he elim someone
My life will never be complete until Mama Hong is in game
Oml YES
*m a n s l a u g h t e r*
Mama hong is roadhog
GodlyBathroomTiles lol but no she actually is mei
We need her
Wow, spec ops' stealth was so good that we couldn't even see her concept art!

wrecking ball has a bit better story than just a cat With a jetpack

Overwatch be like:
Jetpack cat?
NAH!
A little Hamster inside a Killer Ball Machine?
Sure :)

@@robinbanks485 Sorry I didn't realize
Jokes are usually funny
Shaco it off
Just taking lots of time in a comment to a joke is meh to me
Whatever man
I don't care
I hope they eventually give Hanzo a gardener skin so he can shoot a giant caterpillar again, and a ballet dancer skin for Reaper.
Alex Baldwin lol
Yes
"kemushi yo! waga teki wo kurae!"
"diee die-da-dieeee"
Alex Baldwin lol, and could reaper say t-pose instead of die
Those should be April Fools skins or something.
"animals were too far beyond the scope of overwatch" lmao and now we got hammond
F u
That isn't what they said at all. "Jetpack cat" was too far beyond the scope of Overwatch -- not all animals.

The guy who announced overwatch looked like he hadn't slept in 3 days.
Jeff comes on looking like he literally got out of bed 15 minutes ago.
.. .. Just how hard were they working on this game, lol
well considering what it looked like 23:30 vs the gameplay announcement..... VERY hard. theres about a month difference between the two
Half of the game devs looks like this
mama hong became mei? she does slaughter men.
...And she looks Asian
Mama Hong became MAMA HOGGGGG
shes still a possibility to this day if you didnt know
@@archologyzero road hog was already there with mama hong
Akasuki Akemi
Actually in an interview, Jeff actually talked about Mama Hong being added to the game.
That truly is the greatest death blossom animation ever
I pray that one day they add Mama Hong to Overwatch
We need Mama Hong
Please no
Oh Hell NO!!!!
Wtf is up w her eyes tho, like wyd blizzard
manslaughter is the only ability mama hong requires
At 23:00 when Jeff says "do you guys wanna see overwatch?" He sounds depressed and sucidal
That's just him.
Wow, I don't know Genji has a glowing pixel minecraft sword as a weapon
Emerald Mod
_"I need healing"_
*minecraft chomping sounds*
My fevorite lines in the chatlog are "that door isn't a door" then someone says "fucking AGAIN!?".
Łukasz Nowak when??
@@TheRealQueenOfCurses in the chatlog when Reaper got added
Iris = Echo from Reunion?
exactly what i thought
She is at the very least the inspiration
Which could also mean tjat Echo is Iris-that weird eye that's connexted to Talon and Overwatch.
Thats what I thought
I was just about to post that comment she looks just like IRIS
Recommended 2024.. ight
yup
Real bro
It's cool watching in 2024 and seeing how Iris became Echo and Jugernaut became Mauga
Yup
I just realized this was from 6 years ago how tf did it end up on my recommended 💀
Watching this makes you realise how much work goes in to creating games.
Also I want Mama Hong
She's already in the game: Mei. And she can still do quite a bit of manslaughter.
Look at "Iris" 4:03 she is the exact looking character teased in brand new CG Overwatch mini movie "Reunion" for McCree.. wonder how many more of these concepts might make final release.
She won't be hero number 30 tho, Jeff already disproved that, but he said she will be among the next six heroes they will release..
Isn’t her name echo in the Cinematic
Athena
@@TogaKai not athena
Look at that, you were right.
I'm glad that the game ended up being overwatch and not another mmo
UltimateSaiyan66 and mmo would be better if it was made buy blizzard
I didn't believe that Blizzard was the one to make a good shooter
@@para-mortrwell, not anymore
So Reaper is the only one to keep his original name?
because I'm the coolest.
I think Winston too
Phillis Hannah l The Mind Bender also Mama Hong
Reaper, I love you
Julious Lucas did you even pay attention?
After the Ashe overwatch short came out I realized that “iris” is actually “echo”. I guess not all ideas were scrapped 😃
We want Mama hong
At 9:19 when you talk about the floor tiles freaking out, that's actually called "Z fighting". Basically it means two textures are "fighting" for dominance on the Z axis, so they flicker back and forth. Just a fun fact.
Huh, never heard it by that term. I've always known it as "texture clipping". Learn something new everyday :)
3:43 I want MAMA HONG next!
WE WANT MAMA HONG
MegaSweetness yeah, she sounds very interesting!
either mei or hog. mei because chinese, hog because name
MegaSweetness what if mama hog was roadhog
MegaSweetness y e s s s
MegaSweetness yassssss someone agrees
*It used to NOT have toxic players*

I´m watching this 6 years after you made this video and it just feels like a video from today! Wow!
watching this now is crazy echo wasnt out
seeing really early concept art first heros that we now have ow like echo is pretty damn cool
Lmfao mama hong, roadhog without the mask??
Your name is nickel, oh nickel, and today you wanted to show us what Overwatch looked like in its development.
Oddessey wow how long did it take for you to come up with that joke
Altairr not exactly a joke
Are you giving him a mission briefing?
Recluse could be the junkertown queen. The art here and the posters in junkertown look similar and her having a mech in the concept are could be the mech that she would fight with in the junkertown arena
This actually shows me that there are still a bunch more hero concepts that could be part of the game in the future and I can’t wait.
I want the real reaper,
I said the REAL reaper,
12:00 perfection
Can we have Mama Hong in overwatch please
mama hog***
I'd also like to see her 'Manslaughter' ability
DazzleDay its called blizzard
I need mama Hong in the game
So jet pack cat is not the style of overwatch, but a genetically engineered gorilla from the moon is?
And a hamster
And a hamster with mech
The thing that has changed the most is probably jeff. Goddamn.
That’s what I said.
Spec ops was so OP in the photo .. you couldn’t even see him.
No wonder he never made it to the game
Sombra
Mama Hong is Roadhogs mom confirmed Roadhog is Chinese illuminati! confirmed
Jan Ray makes sense
110%
it's the mama Hong meta for season 17
Season 13 and still waiting
To quote the chat log
Someone- “that door”
Them again- “isn’t a door”
Them again- “Geoff”
Geoff- “fucking AGAIN!!?”
that's someone else. later you can see a message from "ggoodman" which is Geoff
so reaper was one of the heroes that was made to begin with and didn't change
randomletters: g2qwflgvkugvlreaiu he did change a bit but there isn't much to balance/change for him
randomletters: g2qwflgvkugvlreaiu yeah I just realized most of the starting heroes barely changed
Fun fact
This video was 6 YEARS AGO
I knooow its crazy to think that at that time they were already like the game had evolve a lot and already had a nostalgia with the changes and then, here we are, 6 years later, with a lot of new characters and things, seeing this video
Jeff wanted 50 classes?!
29/50
21 more classes to go
31/50 now
41/50
I really want Recluse to be in the game
Toxic Art saaaaaame
Same
Toxic Art And luc
Screw that!!!! I want mama hong!!!
Lol
I wanna see Mama Hong. She's like a Snorlax to me.
18:06 Mmm I miss the little heads up warnings on the right
It’s funny to see characters that weren’t out be shown in the video like Echo who used to be the iris
Lmao I just came to the comments to say that
If only one day they'll add mama hong
Every game is a roblox copy before it is completely designed
Dr Wil roblox is just leaked gameplay from the test phases of games
or roblox is just the barest of games as there was no drastic change from its early stages lol
Bro But it's not a game? It's a platform in which the users make the games.
Not truen’t
Dr Wil except for roblox
This video was wonderfully informative, I didnt see this, so this was super interesting. LOVED IT!
+TizziQ thanks man :)
I am fine with that, I enjoyed the video, he condensed it down to something that I could enjoy, while still getting caught up on what I missed.
I'm still mad we never got Mama Hong.
It’s fun to see these Echo theories in 2024 lol
3:10 I think the ability set for Troy in the upper right corner was the inspiration for Brigitte. A flail, a shield, and a charge which is now a shield bash.
Everyone says they were first but actually nickel was first
ay
It says 2 replies but there’s only one
Which of the concept heroes would you like to see make it into the game?
ohnickel mama hong
I would like to see "...Endyl" or "...Ermind" Their concept arts look great to me. And their potential based on their appearance is insane.
ohnickel
Iris
Yes! Mama Hong! All day, everyday!
Deffinatley Tara
Mercy is thick !
also Genji was a Grill !!!
Psyblade was more thicc.
Genji probably was a very nice grill.
Cooking all those burgers.
Brit looked better to fuck
Yeah I used to grill burgers with genji
Excuse me, Mama Hong is *T H I C C*
Tears to my eyes, what have you done to this game...
It’s 2024, and we still don’t have Mama Hong or Recluse…. We live in the bad timeline😢
Honestly Winston could probably be alright with a one or half second stun on jump pack
Anon E. Moose *hour
Ehhh Idk about that.
As a Winston main (200+ hours) id say that would make him super op lmao
Winston is already strong as heck
Anon E. Moose Agreed
Mama Hong is the best hero!
She looks thicc as hell too.
Monokuma her plus hog made junkrat
She looks like something from Kung fu Hustle
*Mama Hong used M A N S L A U G H T E R*
Is she Shsl Mama?
Blizzard give us Mama Hong..,,,
Ashlyn Miller lol
M a n s l a u g h t e r
Mama Hong Probably mei cause off the manslaughter thing xD
YES!!!

1:03 i love how they called Tracer, Jumper because of the movie Jumper where they have teleportation powers
I kinda want MamaHong to be in OverWatch
When did you 1st hear about Overwatch?
From a youtuber called zombey in the beginning of 2016
ohnickel when it came out, but i didn't care about it then, lol
i was browsing youtube at like 3 and found a youtuber called zylbrad i fell in love wit OW *this was in about like august last year*
muselk made his first overwatch video and i got interested and stuff
When I heard it killed Battleborn(the game I wanted) I decided to get it
Moma Hong confirmed for hero 27
Samuel Reaser no
Mama Hong confirmed for hero 29
Mama Hong confirmed for hero 30
i get this on YT home page after 6 years when there's brokenwatch? this hits different to be honest
Iris became Echo in today's age. They also had recently given us a Hero called Venture which seems to have a similar design to Brit. 3:59
Maybe perhaps, bit by bit, these heroes designs may be added in later seasons. Hopefully Mama Hong lol
I want mama hong 😂
I love the hero *MAMA HONG* LETS GO BOIS
Hi
It’s cool to see that genji’s “perch” ability made it in the game as the assasin hanging in the wall in Retribution. That so sick
Hey! When going forward, here's some game design vocab you might want to include:
- you mention the floor "Spazzing out", this is called Z-fighting! it occurs when two planes are fighting over the same space and the engine can't decide which one should be on top
-you also mention tracer's "white squares" - these are called particles! so it was a particle placeholder they were using.
Can’t believe this got recommended to me 6 YEARS after this vid got released, who’s with me?
Just popped up on my recommended too, excellent video, sad times now though ☹
Same
Wild right?
If Genji swung his blade as a primary weapon back then, what was his ultimate?
I think overwatch needs more techy, futuristic heroes like in the concept art
Genji used to be a girl?
Zealos The First yep he was a trap
nah he was a roblox character
LAMB SAUCE LOCATED nah minecraft doesnt have tiny blocks nor diffrent shapes clearly roblox
When genji is named hanzo 👌😂
Seeing this now, after how far everything’s truly come, it’s so beautiful in its own strange way
Got recommended this 6 years later, Overwatch has really changed for the worst.
Aw he looked like he was about to cry in stage ❤️
I love the way reaper looked when doing his ult
Hi
Who else got emotional during the overwatch reveal
Diego Reyes goosebumps my dude
2:23 Spec Ops is so stealth he isn't even in the picture. Damn this guy is good.
There's an irony that Sombra's ideas (spec ops) were shown but not an actual design of her, almost like she hacked it.
Give me Mama Hong Blizzard
Overwatch looked like the crappy chinese ripoffs of Overwatch, RIPOFF INCEPTION!!!!
And Overwatch is a ripoff too :o
Ket it's really not though. Team based shooters as a genre is not owned by anyone.
Not anymore. All great things find root in older wisdom. TF2 started out as another war shooter, but evolved over time (in development) to become an original dynamic. Over time, Overwatch has become a unique dynamic itself.

me:OMG LOL
5:19 i wish i could travel through paralel universes to play this first Overwatch.
being here after all this years and seeing echo being a "mentioned character"
it’s so cool that many years later, Iris became Echo
IRIS became ECHO.
When all the different hero’s came up around 4:31 you can see roadhog bottom left corner
Sure enough
Man. Watching this in 2024 is suchhhh a trip!
Brit seemed like an interesting character. I’ve been interested in the support mech idea for a while now
hey guys its me 6 years later. Anyoen else think phreak might be junkrat/JQ? attract sounds kinda like it could be jagged blade. Also, rumble looks like the orisa egyptian skin. Interesting how Echo's design barely changed but it took so long before we got her
