Blizzard Hits Nostalgia Button, Overwatch: Classic Launches on PS5

Not even thought about overwatch for well over half a decade now after being all in on it when it first launched and putting hundreds of hours into it over years.

I think that i genuinely might actually consider re-downloading this specifically for this though. Can't imagine I'll stick around long term if i do but a few nights of nostalgia even solo for what was probably the last online competitive game I bothered with and without any cost is very tempting.

Maybe work on Fallout or ES?

I bought the first season pass of OW2 and their "2 years of making" gajin skin only to be let down how boring it felt and not being able to get coins back for the next season, that killed it for me!

This mode won't make me come back either.

I think it will be fun to take Symmetra’s old tele for a spin again.

That's one way for Blizzard to admit that they blew it with Overwatch 2.

I liked the first Overwatch so much more.

@Bunchesopuppies
This is Blizzard, not Bethesda.

This is insane, OW1 was horribly balanced on launch. There’s definitely a golden era round about Brig and Sig’s debuts (controversial considering Brig’s balancing at first). As it stands the only healers will be Mercy, Lucio and Zen. It will be 6v6 DPS only at this rate. You don’t even get the hilarity of DPS Doom, he wasn’t launched yet. Just a bit weird to consider a game without Moira, I haven’t played it recently but she was literally in every single match I played from her debut onwards.

So Soldier 76 won't have any recoil on his gun anymore? When I was playing Overwatch that was a tough change lol

i’ll reinstall this again then , but i still want to move on from this game so i ain’t staying . i’m dying for new multiplayer games .

tired of battle royales, and old hero shooters

@BlaizeV That’s a good point actually, I assume that with their kits being rolled back, that’ll include spread pattern changes and the like.

For three weeks. :/

It just makes it all the more obvious that the game did not need a sequel at all lol

I think it’s quite aggravating actually.

A brief snapshot of how it used to be a great game but isn’t anymore.

My son and his high school friend group are Overwatch addicts. He mentioned this Classic patch yesterday and said his team is ready for it. Something about excitement for the broken OG Roadhog.

Will it come with better business practices included then the decisions they made with 1 to push 2..... by cutting 1 of? XD Come on Blizzard who are you fooling here. XD

There is so many other things they could do instead. Why not Starcraft Ghost that'd be nice wouldn't it. Or anything else ABK could offer they don't bother to but could. Why should I care. I'll just pick up their old games they don't care about, they don't really need the money or better ideas anyways.

Will the Overwatch 1 disks/codes unlock a license to offer Classic? No way they'd do that and make people have to download it/still have a disk coaster or re-experience it digitally via a new app/game or something? Hmmm. Why would they do something of past purchases of 1 so generously of prior audiences, that'd be too much for them. Even if free to play it'd still be handled some stupid way wouldn't it.

This old versions nostalgia is getting tiring and stupid. 7-10 year old game nostalgia and oh we cut it off but it's ok to revive it now right? People are stupid enough to forget or eat it up right? Like the internet never forgets/forgives that easily right? Right?
