Overwatch

You may know that Overwatch 2 officially took over Overwatch on October 4 when Blizzard Entertainment updated the FPS game with new and interesting features. However, the recent update also has new gaming enthusiasts and old players divided between the several updates Blizzard made. For example, some think this first-person shooter's requirements are not too demanding. However, if you are looking to crank up the settings to their max and play at 4K, you will not be able to get away with a machine with a poor or decade-old GPU.

What is Overwatch 2?

Overwatch 2 is the much-awaited sequel to the highly popular and fun team-based hero shooter Overwatch. The game expands on the previous title with more heroes and maps. According to Blizzard, consistent feedback from new gamers and some old players feeling overwhelmed by various game modes and heroes triggered the update. There are lots of balance changes and graphical updates in order to revitalize and streamline the game. While

Almost everyone in the gaming community is now aware that Microsoft has bought Activision Blizzard. The announcement from Microsoft surprised the world, especially the gaming industry. This post includes all the information that you need to know about this acquisition.

Two months ago Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft gaming explained the discrimination and sexual harassment scandal at Activision Blizzard. Furthermore, he added that Microsoft is evaluating the condition because of the relationship with the company. Later, they announced they are taking over the biggest game company.

Facts about Microsoft’s Acquisition of Activision Blizzard

After the acquisition, Microsoft will control the biggest game series in the world. This includes Warcraft, Call of Duty, and Overwatch. Furthermore, they will own the massive list of old games. A while ago, Microsoft completed the acquisition of Bethesda Softworks. They offered an outstanding deal. But once, they will take over Activision

Introduction

120fps has been around in the gaming scene for quite some time now. Apart from cinema, this type of content continues to garner more attraction in the market each year. And why wouldn’t it? A high frame rate like 120fps cuts out  chopping and ghosting effect issues.

When it comes to multiplayer games with low latency, 60fps still serves as “the” standard and maintains a competitive edge. But the new generation of gaming consoles like Xbox Series X, Series S, and PS5 are powerful enough to run a wide range of games at 120 fps.

In comparison, Xbox Series X and Series S Support more 120 FPS games than PlayStation 5. The good news is that there is a long and impressive list of games that can run on 120fps. Keeping that in mind, let’s take a look at the essential 120fps-supported games on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.

 Battlefield V

Unlike Battlefield 1, Battlefield V covers World II events rather than WWI.

2019 was host to some spectacular games, as we got the likes of Luigi’s Mansion 3, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and more. The gaming industry as a whole is very healthy, but that doesn’t mean that we haven’t gotten some real turds this year, either. In the spirit of making an end of the year lists, I went and compiled some of what I feel are the biggest game disappointments of 2019.

Without further ado, here’s what I think stunk up the joint:

Anthem- I had such high hopes for Anthem. I’m a huge Bioware fan, and this game looked amazing. When it launched, Anthem was like getting a kick square to the junk. It’s cool, but the missions are so repetitive. The looting is dumb. This game is that first-round draft pick you’re expecting to be a franchise QB, but ends up throwing more picks than TDs in their second year (I’m looking at you, Baker).

Blizzard’s hotly-anticipated Overwatch port to the Nintendo Switch is being launched with some serious issues, leaving players frustrated by the game’s performance.

The game seems to have a lot of issues that weren’t there for the PS4, Xbox One, or PC. These include character models that are nowhere to be found when the game boots. This leaves teammates unaware of their location as well as enemies, who’re showing up as balls of light within the game.

Lag also appears to be a major issue in the game, causing players to miss shots and end up dead before the can respond. This issue seems to be widespread across the platform as well, with multiple media outlets and players complaining about the issue.

It appears that the game is more or less broken right now, and Blizzard is going to have to do some serious work in the form of patching to get things up to snuff.

In other Blizzard news, it appears that Nintendo isn’t working much to promote Overwatch on their system

Overwatch creators Blizzard held an investor call recently where president J. Allen Brack stated that there would be more content coming to the hit shooter for the foreseeable future.

The call revealed that Overwatch support from Blizzard will continue through at least the 2020 fiscal year, and likely well beyond it. There were multiple hints from Brack that Blizzard sees the franchise as being able to sustain multiple projects, including different genres or media iterations.

In his call to investors, Brack stated: "Overwatch is a huge tentpole franchise for Blizzard and we’re continuing to dedicate the resources and the attention so that we can continue to grow the community and the franchise over time.”

Blizzard is certainly living up to their end of supporting Overwatch. The game is now three years old and the company is regularly adding new levels, characters, gameplay features and more.

Furthermore, they’ve also gone so far as to launch an eSports

Overwatch developers, Blizzard, are preparing for a much-needed rework for D.Va. The new update will change her ultimate ability and make a number of other changes to how she works in-game.

For a long time, players have complained about how overpowered D.Va was. As it is right now, D.Va starts the game as an off-tank, with lots of health points and a considerable amount of damage. On its own, the first form of D.Va can be dealt with without too much difficulty.

However, when D.VA loses her mech and hops on foot, her fast movement speed and her ridiculously small hitboxes make her a nightmare to deal with.

The biggest problem with D.Va, however, is without a doubt her Defense Matrix ability. With Defense Matrix, D.Va can protect herself and others from incoming damage. In the rework, Defense Matrix will get a nerf - it will last for half as long.

To balance out the nerf, D.Va will be given a new ability that will help her to play more aggressively.

A brand new Overwatch map has been announced. The new map is called Junkertown and it was first announced at Gamescom.

The new map will be an escort map and the environment has been created to represent Junkrat and Roadhog's home town.

In the lore, Junkertown is set in the heart of Australia. This was one of the countries to get impacted by the Omnic crisis the hardest, and as a result, the entire environment is falling to pieces. Buildings and shelters are put together with whatever scrap material can be found.

Those that live in Junkertown are known as Junkers. Originally, both Junkrat and Roadhog lived within Junkertown as Junkers, too. However, the duo was caught stealing from the queen of Junkertown. As punishment, both Junkrat and Roadhog were exiled from the city.

To go alongside the map announcement, Blizzard released a brand new video on their Youtube channel that showed Junkrat and Roadhog explaining the new Junkertown map.

The new Overwatch Summer 2017 season has begun, and it has brought a number of summer themed skins to the game. These new skins are available in the game right now, alongside some other summer themed content.

The new Summer Overwatch 2017 skins are perhaps the most colorful skins yet. Soldier: 76 is the first on the list to receive a new summer skin; he's got a red Hawaiian shirt on and a new 'A-Salt' Rifle for his primary weapon.

Mercy has been transformed into a Greek goddess with her new 'Nike goddess' skin. Reaper is ready to hit some sick flips in his new BMX biker themed skin. Next up in the list is Widowmaker, who's received a classy bikini skin.

Sombra is getting a summer snorkeling outfit. Junkrat has been given a Cricket suit, and McCree is given a lifeguard outfit.

The new Summer Skins and Summer features are available right now. They'll remain in the game until August 29.

You'll also be able to use this month as a chance to get the skins that

A number of teams have now been chosen to participate in the Overwatch League. More details are provided in the article.

When the Overwatch League was first announced, it had high ambitions to turn their eSports league into a league similar in proportion and style to the NFL or the NHL. Blizzard had hoped to allow cities and popular locations across the world to host their own teams, just like in the NHL and NFL.

Some of the first teams in part of this new formula have now been announced, with some of the teams being backed by some very well-known (and wealthy) individuals.

To begin with, Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, recently purchased an Overwatch team for the Boston area.

Jeff Wilpon, the COO of the New York Mets, is looking to build a team for the New York area.

It's not just traditional sports names getting involved with the Overwatch League, either. Noah Whinston, CEO of Immortals, has confirmed that he's building a team for the
