Don't let this distract you from the fact that Genji literally proved he could cut through the mech's armor via it's hand, but stopped there instead of destroying it himself because he got lazy
@@Jaded_Jinx it has been a while since I have seen Genji I am glad he is doing well, but that also means I have not been able to teach him anymore than from what he learns from his own experiences
Story time! That was their original plan, but movies are expensive so they thought they’d make a somewhat side-game to fund it. 3 years later it might just be their biggest game! Story time over.
Honestly, listening to everyone cheer to every character’s introduction made me want to cry... Edit: Feels weird coming back to see this, just to realize we'll never get this. Screw Blizzard.
Genji's entrance is like when Captain America picked up Thor's hammer EDIT: Goddamn thanks for all the likes! I cant believe we were all hype AF for this, now with the state Blizzard is in, we can only hope.
To this day, this video makes me cry. Seeing so many people come together to see what their favorite game has to offer, back during a time when everyone mostly happy with the game and the world. Cheering their favorite characters as they appeared and laughing at the comedic moments. It makes it harder to watch knowing OW2 will never truly replace the original
Genji flying in and cutting the robot's hand to save Tracer. Literally EVERY TIME I see that scene I get chills and tears in my eyes, I don't know why but I just love that part so much
@@Blackiro0 The WOW movie was poorly thought out. It would have been much better if they released an overwatch movie. It would be easier to make a plot.
@@ItsOctoberr because the Warcraft movie had to balance on a fine line of storytelling between the Horde and Alliance. If they made the orcs out to be the big baddies (like they originally were planning) they just pissed off half core audience. With Overwatch it's much more straight forward since there is a very clear cut good guy /bad guy dynamic. that doesn't mean it would be better or worse, but it would be easier to tell a cohesive story. I'm not saying the Warcraft movie couldn't have been better, but having a fuck ton more source material doesn't make it easier to tell a story. If anything it makes it more complicated.
Who else is here feeling depressed because we will never get to throw a genji blade, slicing through 6 enemies along the way, or do a multi-pulse bomb chain with tracer? Come back, Jeff!! PLEASE!!
Have you seen the size of rein and his gear compared to everyone else? One swing of that hammer into anyone's head should behead or crush their skull instantly.
Watching this after the news broke that the original plan for PvE on OW2 was scrapped. This hurts...loved this game since it came out 2016. Once Jeff left...everything changed. Thanks for the memories.
Jeff left because the powers that be, way above his position in the food chain, were already making decisions that would push the game in a vastly worse direction. Jeff left before he became the target for the public scrutiny, even if the scrutiny was well deserved.
OMG, I think that I would be the only person that dropped tears! I love so much this game and the cinematics! I'm building a new PC to play other games and especially OW!
Somehow it is always the simple melodies that make me emotional. I also love how the rhythm changes so it doesn't get boring while there is one action scene after another
@@karimcruz3151 rewatching this trailer, i think I'd rather play the campaign then the new OW2 PvP. I hope they release the campaign in one big update. But with the Seasonal content strategy I can see them releasing just a few missions at a time to keep people coming back.

Since Genji was fatally wounded by Hanzo from their family/clan duel, Mercy rescued him by making him into a cyber-ninja. Once Genji was recovered, he had so much issue with his new body: his mechanical body didn't go well with his human brain, like the cyber-limbs rejecting the human brain's command. Genji tried a lot of physical and combat training to get familiar with his new body under the administration of Overwatch/Mercy, but it didn't work out. As he had been struggling for years to overcome this, Genji even lost fate/hope for life. Until Genji met Zen in Nepal. Zen didn't train Genji much in combat skills, instead Zen advocated that adapting the cybernetic body is not about physical incorporation, the key is about mental harmonization from peaceful but strong willpower, because cybernetics in that time is not simply mechanical, it is omnic, a much more intellectual form. As Zen is an omnic, he knows this well, from an omnic perspective. Therefore, Zen taught Genji to mandate, start thinking and understanding the world/life as the good omnics do. Soon after, Genji has found the balance, regained his ninja agility as the Genji we know now, returned to Overwatch and started to participate in Blackwatch operations... I believe the above is based on the Overwatch game lore so far, my assumption on the lore of Genji and Zen for (connecting to) Overwatch 2 is: Of course, Genji received the Overwatch Recall from Winston. But as Genji was in Blackwatch, their leader, Gabriel Reyes, was once the commander and a good teammate, is now a victim from a failed Overwatch's super-soldier experiment. This not only turned Reyes into Reaper, but also made Overwatch disband. In addition, most of Backwatch operatives are now scattered, some become mercenaries, some are still wandering somewhere, like McCree, Moira, etc... Genji's fate is once again questioned by himself, should he join Talon like his former commander Reyes/Reaper? Or should he answer Winston's Overwatch Recall and rejoin Overwatch? Or should he still be a lone wanderer like Jessie McCree? Genji has lost direction. As the cinematic showed, Genji visited Zenyatta's sanctum once more, what Zen taught Genji this time, should it whether be inner peace or seeking the origin? It is unknown, but I am so glad that Genji showed up in Paris, reunites and rejoins the Overwatch.
Even though I've already seen the short and loved it... watching it with the crowd made actually tear up, the emotion and the excitement from this short alone is amazing... love Overwatch💖 can't wait for the second part to come!!!!
ive watched this cinematic at least 10 times, and this video more than that. im physically incapable of not crying, especially with all the crowd reactions 😭 it's just perfect, especially the music omg the MUSIC
Look at it. Look at how excited the audience was for the new things promised. I had a fantastic time playing Overwatch 1, which will most likely never come back.
Elias Faraj Tayar hahaha are you kidding? I must do it. It is my destiny to over exaggerate the pure awesomeness of underrated content. I think endgame is overrated and overwatch needs to reach out to more audiences. That’s what I’m trying to say.
I cried when I rewatch it again cause I was there in 2019, we had hope about the game. But now Overwatch or even Blizzard is not the same anymore, you will never have the same feeling like the good old days of Overwatch again.
Does this mean that overwatch 1 was just a huge multiplayer demo and now we're getting the real game? Lol Edit: Glad I could give some people a chuckle, and then some beat red apparently. Lol thanks for the likes guys.
2023 I almost started tearing up when I saw this. So sad that we only got a glimpse of what they been teasing. But I still have Hope. I love this game. It's pretty much the only game I been playing for the past 4 years.
man i actually laughed and teared up as everyone cheered during the climactic parts of the animation. watching this again with live reaction is so hype for what was coming and looking back now its just sad...
I've played this game for years, mostly every single day. I normally never watch the cinematics. This had me balling my eyes out. I cant tell you why. It just.. These are my people. I love them so much. I've practically been a part of them in my mind for the past couple of years. I loved this so much. Thank you for the reactions as well which made this so much better.
i’m telling you right now, this is word word what i probably would’ve said to someone who asked about this video to me. like, these people and characters are now a huge part of my life, as cliche as it is.
Have been coming back to this video for years, crazy how much love there is in the community yet blizzard doesn’t seem to care. After today my faith in blizzard is completely gone. Multi million dollar corporations will be the end of the gaming industry.
I cry everytime I see this reveal trailer. I love all these characters and they all mean so much to me. I will work on this franchise one day. I will come back here and comment saying I did. My game art degree was meant for this.
@@connorberry6377 It's actually so fun! I got access to the beta by participating in the Twitch drop event. It feels like a completely different game! Sure, it looks like Overwatch, but my goodness, is it a nice change of pace.
that was a brilliant trailer. i haven't played overwatch in years, but the combination of character entrances and the audience reaction almost made me cry with hype a few times lol.

You almost had it
Nice ref
I've never played Overwatch, but that cinematic trailer just sold me..i'm buying this
Glad you liked it, welcome!
Welcom to the team the world could use more heros
Warrior the Pleb buy it when overwatch 2 comes out. Its gonna be overwatch with more stuff basically
@@liyang1436 although it won't have some original events
Jeff, log out
Look at it. Look at how excited the audience was for the new things promised. I had a fantastic time playing Overwatch 1, which will most likely never come back.
9:23 to 10:17, greatest entrances in cinematic history besides Avengers
You can leave out the "besides avengers" part, it is THE greatest entrance of all fckn time.
Fernand G somehow, it’s way better than avengers. No joke
Elias Faraj Tayar hahaha are you kidding?
I must do it. It is my destiny to over exaggerate the pure awesomeness of underrated content.
I think endgame is overrated and overwatch needs to reach out to more audiences. That’s what I’m trying to say.
@@judahdardenyoutube endgame was only overrated because it was hyped an insane amount. It was an amazing movie
Absolutely incredible. It simply screamed "HOPE." The music...everything.
"Someone has to do something!"
Me- "Just send Bob?"
Carey101 Ashe and bob aren’t part of the overwatch team x
They’re part of deadlock

Dude, I know. You just don't get it.

2019: Can't wait for Overwatch 2!
2022: Oh snap. The beta is here
Now only days until the game finally releases 🙏
Overwatch 2 hit by DDoS attacks on launch day.
I’ve seen this so many times and I still get chills. It was awesome to see and hear the crowd reaction
Edit: Thanks Cary!!!
the thing im most hyped about is the fact that canada has a map now
Everyone keeps mentioning Hong Kong but all I hear is TORONTO. XD
We need a map based off Surrey.
8BitGamer4life Cleaning up ghetto Surrey eh? 😏
Danger Dan you also got a hero, Solegern is Canadian (how ever you spell it)
I'm happy that Brazil has a map too, I'm Brazilian so... Yeah
Fun fact: This stadium can hold roughly the amount of people that were ahead of me in the queue at launch.
Omnic guy: "Was that a monkey?"
*Silly robot, that was obviously a scientist.*
After they paused on Genji and everyone looks at him, he should’ve said “yo!" , i was kinda expecting that lol
...
"I need healing"
"mada mada"
@@kohlsinnombre9279 aho ga
@Mom Mom this is perfect
N then MERRY christmaS
Genji: runs on rooftop
Crowd: **STANDING CEREMONT**
Props to the music team because it was on point throughout the trailer!
I love how they mixed up the old and new themes.
I loved the violins
What is the music called
the music for this and the diablo cinematic was sooo good.
@@mash3814 the diablo cinematic was sooo good. But this was better.
some guy at blizzard watching avengers endgame: aight we gotta steal this
Tbh endgame stole blizzard's starcraft 2 legacy of the void (2015) entrence ...so it evens out XD
Remember how pumped everyone was for this? Such a fucking shame.
*can we just talk about how badass genji is*
Still prefer Reinhardt.
And his new skin
HELLL YeAH
Weebs
@@internetalpha5173 how is this being a weeb lol
Evil army: exists
Genji: *on your left*
Omg! XD
I cried when I rewatch it again cause I was there in 2019, we had hope about the game.
But now Overwatch or even Blizzard is not the same anymore, you will never have the same feeling like the good old days of Overwatch again.
yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh
I mean, speak for yourself. I've been playing OW2, and though I never played OW1, the sequel is every bit as fun as I heard the original was.
Does this mean that overwatch 1 was just a huge multiplayer demo and now we're getting the real game? Lol
Edit: Glad I could give some people a chuckle, and then some beat red apparently. Lol thanks for the likes guys.
I guess you could say that lmao
lmfao, overwatch 1 was just beta >:)
Nah, Overwatch 2 is just some boring looking PvE co-op missions with some story attached (at least that’s what I gathered from gameplay).
@@646464mario it's boring just for you
Explains why it still says Origins edition when you play it
9:27 Welp that Deflect is getting nerfed.
@KenAlpha1 that fact he can deflect me is ult and gravity is bull honestly
11:07 you mean that dragonblade?
Octavio Ojeda wtf no. U know how fucking hard is to get the timing r8 to deflect that u silver trash
2023 I almost started tearing up when I saw this. So sad that we only got a glimpse of what they been teasing. But I still have Hope. I love this game. It's pretty much the only game I been playing for the past 4 years.
I can't wait until this comes out. Consider it already bought
Same mate
SAMEEEE
same omg
Lol all the maps from this game are coming to overwatch 1 why buy this?
Brenda Ajamu Cause pve
I love how the crowd yelled out DOWN
When Reinhardt did his earth shatter
During the cinematic or during the gameplay trailer?
@@soscobra cinematic
Time stamp
Genji: is on screen
Everyone: WOHOO HORRAY
Overwatch just has the best cinematics man...
10:24 that part hyped me up the most!
Same
Genji entrance hyped me up a LOT
man i actually laughed and teared up as everyone cheered during the climactic parts of the animation. watching this again with live reaction is so hype for what was coming and looking back now its just sad...
I've played this game for years, mostly every single day. I normally never watch the cinematics. This had me balling my eyes out. I cant tell you why. It just.. These are my people. I love them so much. I've practically been a part of them in my mind for the past couple of years. I loved this so much. Thank you for the reactions as well which made this so much better.
Dude, MOST of the cinematics are amazing, check them out if you still haven't.
i’m telling you right now, this is word word what i probably would’ve said to someone who asked about this video to me. like, these people and characters are now a huge part of my life, as cliche as it is.
@@sfreemanoh I definitely will..!
@@NahJustin I don’t think it’s cliche. It makes perfect sense to me
@@thundergun3333 to see people share the same sense of excitement and proudness of being in a community means a lot to everyone
I got Avengers Endgame chills when Genji entered.
Genji: Winston! On your left...
Have been coming back to this video for years, crazy how much love there is in the community yet blizzard doesn’t seem to care. After today my faith in blizzard is completely gone. Multi million dollar corporations will be the end of the gaming industry.
I cry everytime I see this reveal trailer.
I love all these characters and they all mean so much to me.
I will work on this franchise one day.
I will come back here and comment saying I did.
My game art degree was meant for this.
Love to hear this
Nice
Welp, Overwatch 2 beta just came out! How are you doing?
@@ppgabe Omg so excited
@@connorberry6377 It's actually so fun! I got access to the beta by participating in the Twitch drop event. It feels like a completely different game! Sure, it looks like Overwatch, but my goodness, is it a nice change of pace.
that was a brilliant trailer. i haven't played overwatch in years, but the combination of character entrances and the audience reaction almost made me cry with hype a few times lol.
“Redefine what a sequel means”
Oh, they did that all right
"Ice to meet you"
Rein such a dad
The only thing exciting about Overwatch 2 is that i'll never have to play a Control map again.
i love control i hate payload :(
Movie Games wait is there no control in overwatch 2??
nxvillx there is control, he’s just dumb. i looked it up. they just added a new mode. i think control is something u won’t get as often anymore though.
I prefer control
spooky rat yeah same
Goodbye, a game I once loved, supported and shared so much.
Ik...it could've been incredible
I've seen these cinematics over a dozen times now and still get infinite chills every single time.
I am SO in
I freaking love the crowds reaction to Genji! I’m so happy that they are as happy as I am to see him again!
Jeff: youll get to play it and tell us how fun and.. balanced it is.
The Crowd: **laughs hysterically**
Genji appears: Wuuuuuu!
Rein and brig appear: WOOOOOUUHH!!!
