Support NeoGAF

[Xaero]

I don't think those are streamed, unfortunately. They are only for those at the event

Oh wow, now I feel ripped off Most of those are the ones I wanted to see.

Maybe they'll show up after the weekend on the replays.

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Managed to get the rest of stuff to load since they just added it after the opening.

Overwatch section of the Blizzcon store.

404!

 

[Skab]

I only see the main ones across the top though? Like, the schedule says there's an artist panel and voice actor panel going on now too. how do I view those?

Any panel that is happening will be on one of those channels.

Also I don't see either of those panels on the schedule. I think you're looking at something wrong.

I don't see an artist or voice actor panel going right now.

Yeah, I got the iOS app and it shows them all. Does look like they're atendee only I assumed they'd all be available to virtual ticket holders.

Sorry I don't think any of those panels have ever been available via Virtual Ticket. Sucks bro, I feel for you

The ones on the minor stages; Artists and Voice Actor stage aren't being streamed.

Is anyone else getting an UT3 vibe from the stages in Overwatch or is just me?

Ah well! Looks like it's my fault, I got confused

Still, I love everything Blizzard so I'd have got the ticket anyway.

 

[Skab]

Ah, yeah, as someone else said those are on the minor/side stage. Those aren't streamed. That App is meant for people who are attending.

 

[Acosta]

So many years of "Metzen Voice" is getting its toll it seems.

 

[KojiKnight]

"There is a ton of story... almost like we had a lot left over from a larger project... *sniff*"

 

[JSoup]

You are surprised for Blizzard taking a long time to get content out for their massively successful games!?!

Considering they've been on about getting content out faster, yeah, seems like a reasonable surprise point.

 

[Svafnir]

I am going to live blog the Diablo panel for anyone who can't watch it. Some info has come out already, but starts in about an hour.

Blizzard talking about getting content out faster is like Microsoft talking about supporting PC gaming.

Oh shit, did he actually say that? I missed it...

 

[KojiKnight]

Oh shit, did he actually say that? I missed it...

Hahah no, he said the first part and I added the rest

They are streaming the first match of Overwatch now.

 

[Skab]

Oh shit, did he actually say that? I missed it...

Theres a panel tomorrow for the game titled "Overwatch: Origins"

Should be interesting info out of it.

PvP arena or bust

 

[Svafnir]

That's interesting you can change heroes during the battle. Adds even more strategy

Just like TF2 then

 

[Xaero]

The more I see, the more I wish Titan was still a thing

(Because the world seems cool, not because the game looks naff)

 

[Svafnir]

Just like TF2 then

I hope we don't focus on TF2 too much. It's really a combination of Dota/TF2. TF2 classes are pretty basic compared to this game.

I love TF2 and still play it a lot now. I can't wait for this game. I hope hands on gameplay starts trickling in.

 

[Skab]

Holy shit. New item rarity level in D3.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

They literally have the payload gametype.

 

[KojiKnight]

Hoping for an early alpha push like they did with Heroes. Want this game soooo much watching this match in action.

 

[Aselith]

It also reminds me a bit of Shadowrun (though I never played it).

Shadowrun is CounterStrike.

 

[Makareu]

The true Blizzcon megaton so far is that there is a team with a warrior winning some games in the wow arena tournament.

 

[Pollux]

So what was the big gap in time for?

Overwatch panel

 

[Nokterian]

That's the overwatch panel that is live right now.

Voices of Draenor panel will not be live-streamed. :/ Feedback for next year. Lots of good stuff coming on the stream though!

So give them a shout if there's something not streamed so they know you want it next year.

 

[Pollux]

Overwatch panel

That's the overwatch panel that is live right now.

Ahh. So those eye of azshara rumors don't appear to be true then...

 

[Svafnir]

So they confirm overwatch is a branch (kinda) from titan, the new direction they went.

 

[Acosta]

Metzen is really struggling with the Titan thing, lol.

 

[Interfectum]

Metzen is really struggling with the Titan thing, lol.

He seemed to explain it pretty well.

 

[Jinroh]

So no updated warcraft 3 announcement?

 

[Acosta]

He seemed to explain it pretty well.

I disagree, he was going in circles (it's not but it is, but it´s really not).

 

[fluffydelusions]

So no updated warcraft 3 announcement?

That would be in the warcraft panel maybe I guess?

 

[KojiKnight]

Ahh. So those eye of azshara rumors don't appear to be true then...

Warcraft panel is later tonight, so we'll know for sure then.

 

[Acosta]

I always doubted they had any plan to talk of the next exp, with the next one coming next week...

 

[TatteredHat]

My guess is they initially had something like Destiny planned for Overwatch, it ended up being too large in scope, and then they reduced it down to a TF2-like experience.

 

[KojiKnight]

I always doubted they had any plan to talk of the next exp, with the next one coming next week...

Likewise, but if something was going to show up it would be there.

 

[Svafnir]

It better come to consoles, perfect fit.

 

[kirblar]

The Titan plans they described sounded a lot like Secret World ("Base" space w/ shops/buildings/etc v "Battleground".) It also sounded super-tedious.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

They just said they aren't talking about that yet. If they were gonna do it right, they'd do it right off the bat.

You'd think TF2 and CS:S would be popular on the consoles too. Some FPS only works on the PC.

There is always the closing ceremony

Most likely get it on PC, due to Blizzard being PC-driven, and then work on a console version for release later next year. They can use PC as a test bed and of course to frequently update/change stuff that wouldn't be possible in the console ecosystem.

Without a mouse, the response time required for PC shooters becomes really obnoxious for me, personally. (I think this was actually a secret reason that Goldeneye did so well with a mass audience- its controls were slower relative to the norm for the genre.)

 

[Skab]

Movie panel starting?

Edit: nm, 15 mins

 

[Nokterian]

I am really happy to hear kaplan talk again after so many years.
