Forums - Gaming - Blizzard announce new IP "Overwatch"

I do count WoW, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm all as new IPs. Blizzard seems to employ the Nintendo model: make new IPs with existing characters/universes.


Hmm.  Hearthstone I'm struggling with, but you consider World of Warcraft a new IP too?

It's literally a continuation of the story of Warcraft 3, just delivered in a different genre.

So if we're stretching that logic, do you consider Guilty Gear 2 a new IP compared to Guilty Gear 1?  It features the characters of GG1 and continues the story, but is a complete genre shift from the first game.

First new IP in 17 years? Hearthstone was announced about a year back...


Do you consider that a new IP considering the full title is "Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft"?

Because if so, you might as well count World of Warcraft as a new IP too.  I don't.


Hmmm

XD

I seemed to have forgotten that Hearthstone is part of the WC universe! Dang you Kresnik!

I do think its significant though, as it certainly is a new universe!

Please tell me this will be on consoles too *.*



I really like what I'm seeing here, the chars look fun and diverse in style and gameplay.

Lol another free to play art style. Pure garbage.

Oo Is this me or this shit looks AMAZING ? Wouaouh, it's been almost 4 full years since I've been so hyped about something.

I know that Team fortress exists, but damn this one shits on it on every level. Take my money and shut the fuck up.



Dupe >.<



I'm completely uninterested. I wasnt interested in TF2 either, but what i'm worried about is seeing too many of these smaller games becoming sucessful. We all know that all other companies follow trends and the market will be flooded with nothing but these micro transaction hells...
