Despite the obvious privilege Epic has had with Sony and other more readily cooperative console manufacturers when implementing cross-play/progression, hopefully other devs/pubs are able to similarly accomplish retrofitting cross-progression with how politically messy merging MTX done through PSN/XBL and hypothetically eShop seemingly is. Next month does make a year since the Sony Cross-Play Beta, I'd have to think that's enough time to start seeing results on our end as players. I'd be disappointed if OW-console wasn't at the front of the next wave of retrofitted cross-play/progression games considering Jeff Kaplan's stated interest and behind the scenes discussions with all involved parties.
Imagine if Blizzard was as bold as Epic with just accidentally turning on cross-play/progression on OW if players linked their bnet accounts like Epic did with Fortnite several times. What a power move that was.
I've recently started to play Overwatch again after an 8-month break from the game. (PS4 version)
You know what my first reaction was when I found myself in my first game?
"Wow, the game looks worse than I remember!"
Just to clarify: I don't think that Overwatch looks bad at all. But I honestly can't say that anything was impressive.
Texture quality and resolution can easily be toned down without the game losing much of the charm it has.
Also: that break was what I needed. I'm not playing as much as I did before but I'm playing regularly again and the game is just as fun as it was before!

I love overwatch, and play it on the ps4. I doubt that blizzard can get it running at a respectable performance, considering the ps4 port (lack of good use of the ps4 pro, for example). Unless another dev ports it, like Panic Button.
I trust the switch and its power, I dont trust blizzard. Unless panic button ports it.
I believe Diablo 3 was done in house, and that's a pretty excellent port. Also at 60 fps.
It was done by Iron Galaxy with some assistance from Blizzard I believe.
I'd expect this will be the same. Iron Galaxy doing most of the porting work.
Is that actually true, or what? IIRC it's not

Diablo 3 is one of best Switch ports, and it was done by Iron Galaxy with help of Blizzard,
probably similar is with Overwatch port.
I love Overwatch, I'd happily play a Switch version - imagine if they had Nintendo themed costumes, so much $$$$ on the table lol.
Would lose my mind if D.Va got announced for Smash, means I'd get an Amiibo of her too then!! Would be so happy.
It'll probably be Tracer though.
Obviously I'd prefer both but instead of Overwatch I feel we needed a Resident Evil rep more, Jill would have been perfect! Either option would fit the seemingly 3rd party focus so I can see it.

Blizzard had Iron Galaxy help them with Diablo III. They would seem like a likely candidate for a Switch port.
...or Iron Galaxy. Or QLOC.
But at the same time, when has Sakurai gone for a character from a new franchise that wasn't the main character or the poster child? Like I said before, it's either Tracer or nobody.
We can at least agree on Resident Evil, though. Jill would bring a lot to the table in both representing a major franchise as well as RE-inspired mechanics while also helping the Fighters Pass with its lack of women.
if you told me UE3 was a more inefficient engine than Blizzard's own, I'd believe you. if Paladins can run, I believe Overwatch can as well
Paladins targets DirectX 9 graphical feature set btw. It has a good art style, but Overwatch is a more demanding game.
I still believe it can run at 60fps.
Stopped playing OW when it started running like shit on my pos laptop. I need this to be true y'all. I don't care what FPS it is honestly, I miss my daily fix damn it
The character select screen and replays are 30fps. The replays are only 60fps when they're temporarily stored in the viewer, until you decide to download them to your PS4 or upload it online. I don't have a pro, but I heard the pro can record video at 60fps.
If you're playing in any mode, then the game is 60fps.
Actually, the replays themselves are 60fps. It's the highlight intros that are 30fps. The main menu is also 30fps.
Something tells me they probably already know that. Why bump an old thread to do this?
