    Overwatch 3 - format changes to 4v4 to allow for mobile phone players, Tanks get entirely reworked into the DPS role, every skin that used to cost in game credits now costs money and all prices across the board are increased, devs ignore actual criticism by using all their talking time discussing bronze level play issues, eventually queue times still get so bad they have to combine console, pc and mobile queues, what a world

    Blizzards last chance comes every two months or so, then the loud people of you tube scream how they failed but the company still exists and we keep playing the games. my favorite is when a youtuber say the game has gone to crap and how awful it is and how no one should play it and its dead, then the next day make a video covering the news that will save the game. its an endless cycle of Games dead - new season will save the game - get a ton of views on new season content - see views go down because its 3 weeks past new season - say the game is in a bad place and repeat.

      People complain about the price of skins but keeps buying
      People complain about the studios but keep buying pre orders
      That's why blizzard will never change, they don't need to, they know people complain a lot but will buy anyway

      Blizzard seems to have forgotten how iconic Sigma's cinematic was. People who had never touched overwatch, or shown any interest in the game whatsoever, were aware of the "I have harnessed the harness" line, it went astronomically viral.
      I think it's nice that the new VA's have been invited to narrate visual novels about their characters, but it doesn't hold a candle to the effect the cinematics had. Imagine having one of the most diverse cast of talented voice actors, a distinct art style, and a full timeline of events, and NOT making cinematics/animated series about it. Missed potential.

      I mean EVERY Nintendo fan loves to defend Pokémon, when you know for a fact they have more than enough money to fund proper games and get good developers in to have well thought out optimization for the switch. Gamefreak as a company has suffered tremendously from a hostile work environment and development crunch for so long that it feels like it’s truly based on share holders asking “what can we make more profit on?”. Just because Toby Fox made a song doesn’t mean that this shit is still real. I like that at least some of the developers have a soul, I just know for a fact the Pokémon company (as a business) doesn’t give a flying fuck.

    I don't like Flats' thought that AA means "a worse game than a AAA one", it's purely a distinction of scope and budget. Not every game needs to be a huge open world RPG or to be a live service multiplayer shooter (which let's be honest, OW1 was while they were updating it, it just wasn't monetized like one) I for one would be very excited to get a 10-15 hour long singleplayer OW JRPG or something or a point and click mystery game set in the Warcraft universe. I just think to suggest that everything a "AAA" development studio puts out absolutely needs to be huge and expensive and lowkey soulless or else the studio is not doing its job is insane and kinda contributes to the homogenization and eventual downfall of video games as a whole.

    • @klementineQt
      @klementineQt День тому

      Love Flats and agree with him often, but it caught me off guard that he doesn't seem to know what AA means. He seemed to confuse AA with the idea of a spinoff or to put it in OW terms, an off-franchise (Arceus is not quite AA, and like you said, AA doesn't mean worse quality either, considering how much better Arceus was than mainline Pokémon recently, even if it isn't AA). Agree with you though, he also doesn't seem to get that people simply want more content and games more often and that's not possible with modern AAA dev timelines (that could be adjusted some if all that red tape mentioned wasn't there and the focus on realistic graphics was toned down, but even then, I still think side games and smaller ventures are better long term for keeping people onboard and drawing them in, that feels like a lost art these days).

    Wat the hell is going on here?! Is it really the wish of such people to get a lifeless metroidvania ripoff and other game ripoffs just with blizzard IPs? The meaning of making good games is to involve creativity and not just ask for some games. This is such a horrible direction if they would go for it. Riot shows how to do it, make some small teams with some old guys feom the bigger teams and get some new people involved aswell and let them cook. Also such ideas as Overwatch PvE by Community is just nonsense. Sure Overwatch lore is nearly not existing anymore but the goal is to develop such stories with the vision of the original creators. Fans doing it would only be some kind of fanfiction and much less quality. We are not anymore in a time people can create game genres like mobas. To make it clear, Blizzard developers seem to be the least productive developers in the whole industry and the solution would be to get good directors and people with a vision again. Not just go on and spam out ripoffs and hope for a hit in 1 out of 10 attemps.

    Blizz/Microsoft should just do, what Riot did: Take some money and develop games in different games with their existing IP. Put it out there and see if they are good and resonate with people. Don't be afraid to say, nah that ain't it and cancel projects.
    Looking at Riot, we could do:
    - An autobattler (TFT)
    - A fighting game (Project L)
    - A turn based, story driven RPG (Ruined King: A LOL story)
    - A Jump 'n' Run adventure (Song of Nunu)
    - A Metroidvania-like game (Conergence)
    - A crafting RPG ala Stardew Valley/Sun Haven (Bandle Tale)
    - An roguelike reverse bullet hell (Swarm)
    And to tbh, I would be not surprised if riot actually releases a gacha game at some point, lol.
    Riot just took some of the most recent game trends and built games with their IP around it, or made some unique stuff on their own. And it pays off. While not all of this game are hits, they are at least decent and a nice gaming snacks between your usual go to's. This brings in money and good reputation. And at least the second thing is what Blizz badly needs, atm.
    So looking at Blizz/Microsoft. They have incredible strong IP's, with a wide variety of different settings, with great characters and potential for great stories to tell. To me, it feels like a story driven rpg is a no-brainer. Also, an autobattler should be really makeable, with this cast of characters from all those IPs. And a roguelike reverse bullet hell in 2d pixel graphics shouldn't be that hard to make.
    Just take a leap of faith and try Blizz. Be a little bit like your old self.

    My personal opinion,
    Once they got OW2 announced I stopped playing OW entirely and lost faith in them forever.
    Since then I have given them my last chance with D4 and they fucked up so bad, it’s not dead but I will not buy the exp or play the game, waiting instead for POE2.
    I also tried to play some OW2 with the hero real ease but I wasn’t as hyped or enjoyed the game as before I don’t know why, it felt really like another game rather than the OW I used to play … Again my personal opinion.
    I will only play HOTS but never play a Blizzard game ever again.
    OW was really something special and I cannot understand how hard they devided their community and how sad I am since I don’t think we will never get the old OW feeling again neither the excitement for a new Blizzard game.

  • @ktownshutdown21

    10:04 Part of the problem with these AAA games is that they're TOO big. They're bloated with content without any real focus, and they cost way too much money to make a real profit off of, so we just end up getting these big hollow games that get the plugged pulled by the folks fitting the bill.
    Making smaller games narrows things down so that they can concentrate on perfecting everything right in front of them instead of spreading themselves so thin by trying to do too much. It's a back-to-basics approach.
    And I'm all for it 🙋. Not every game needs to be a 10 bajillion hour epic with 30 bajillion mechanics that need 50 bajillion dollars to keep funding. It's okay not to be a Kitchen Sink game, just be good at a few core components and that's fine.

  • @mega17
    @mega17 Місяць тому

    The reason they won't go all in is because they're a public company, so a lot of risk-adverse greedy scumlords influence funding decisions now. Profit isn't good enough. Every game needs to be MORE profitable. They want consistent growth. Ideally explosive growth. That's why layoffs to save money are a thing too, cause it's easier to grow from greenhorn newbies desperate and willing to crunch than from senior employees who know their rights and worth.

    I think Blizzard has mastered the ability to ride the line of putting out a product that is JUST good enough to stay online and churn out money, but will never be great....or even really good, but just good enough for people to have hope. Because let's be real, with the voices of the content creators, the community and the VERY OBVIOUS fixes to glaring issues with every single one of their games, they choose to either do the opposite, or nothing. At a certain point you have to understand they aren't doing it, not because they can't or are unaware, but just because it's more profitable not to.

Now they need to fine tune the end game, and the expansion may do that with raids, and the group finder. Oh and making bricking items less possible
    Last season none of the uniques were good (maybe a couple) now my sorc (fireball) got to level with like 6. They need to add loadouts for respeccing builds though.

Anyone hoping they'd actually release good games and not generic money printers with a blizzard skin on top is delusional.

    AAA quality is at this point synonymous with feature creep and useless fidelity.
    Seriously, the only AAA games i can think of worthy of celebration lately are BG3 and elden ring
    And downsizing to these more focused ideas is just going to be outright better for the games.
    I think AAA is going to die in favor of AA games over time with very few exceptions. Big studios will simply have a reputation for style and put out a lot of games instead of working on bloated messes and unoriginal third person games with too much money invested to allow for creativity.

    Some of really great and popular indie games have been made in 1-2 years by a handful of people and we call them AA, but they often feel very polished, but they're just shorter games. The hardest part for Blizzard is going to be selecting the best projects to move forward with. They have to pick the most unique ideas that manage to be fun, but still reel in the scope. That can be hard to do if you have the wrong people in charge.

Take cute little versions of all the characters and put them in a cart racing game. People will love it.take mercy and put her as the Director of a hospital and make an overwatch themed hospital. Take reaper and make a 2-D side scroller in the vein of Blackthorne. Take soldier 76 and put him in a third person action adventure shooter. Played the strength of overwatch, the characters.

    It's weird to think that somehow video game development wasn't experiencing the same late-stage capitalist bullshit back then, even though you hear about games and studios getting canned left and right. The difference is that companies are now evil enough to trash more successful ventures, when it means they make more money now.
