Bout fucking time. Considering D.Va and Mercy are statistically the most popular heroes in the game, it's amazing they've gone for this long without the animated short treatment.
Meh, I think it's already late for a video this basic. The Reinhardt video was excellent, but this one brings nothing new to Hana's character or just about nothing new at all. The omnic designs are obviously recycled from The Matrix too.
Honestly I'd be way more into a 'd.va and her buddies vs the kishin' PVE co-op game than overwatch itself right now (but then I uninstalled after the anniversary even due to bad luck with teams and event loot boxes burning me out).undeadsuitor said:
Very nice. It looks great, the action is depicted well and it shows a sympathetic side of D'Va that I wasn't expecting. She struck me as a bit of a playful glory hawk rather than someone who genuinely cared. Now it shows she's actually quite caring towards her people.
My only complaint would be that not a whole lot happens. D'Va didn't join overwatch, she didn't fight any big villain and the plot wasn't advanced in any way. It was just a day in the life of D'va.

Because this level of computer animation takes about 1 year per 90 seconds, with the size of the blizzard cinematic team. I don't know if the team got bigger, but the Wow expansion cinematics used to take 18 months to produce start to finish.Marik2 said:
Really most of the characters aren?t in Overwatch. Lucio, Hanzo, Bastion, Roadhog, Junkrat, Symmetra, Zenyatta, all of Talon, Pharah, and the new hamster whose name I forget.undeadsuitor said:
I think it was pretty good. The fact it touched on "Reality Ensues: PTSD" and "Reality Ensues: Wartime Propaganda" was fantastic. Wish it was more than "A day in the lift of D.Va", but seeing more what she does is great.
I like how D.Va's playful persona is very much a projection she puts on to not let others see how this conflict is damaging her, and I like how the government is straight up lying to everyone so that they don't know how bad it is. It shows that for all the "fun e-sports heroes using mechas" angle they have going, it's VERY much a war that they've roped young adults into. "Without a scratch" hah, indeed.
I mean, between that and how no one else on the team shows up in the short afterwards, I'm pretty sure that at least one of them (Definitely the one who screamed "I'm hit!" in the flashback) is currently in the hospital and not having some R&R or glitz and glamour. I mean...You'd think they'd be helping repair the mechs or be on standby or something.
The one thing that really gets me, though, is that the south korean government must REAAAALLY be stretched thin. Like...There's no repair crew or doctors or coaches or psychologist or ANYONE on the mini seabase after the incident, and the only food that's lying around are energy drinks and Not-Doritos. Like, your star player is out of commission with a broken leg, none of her teammates are there aside from a guy who doesn't fly a mech, your country is completely vulnerable if another surprise attack happens, even if it's just ONE smaller robot.
Seriously, how underfunded and understaffed IS this all-important mech squad?! 0_o

In the 'press conference' still at 0:30, both D.Mon and Overlord have bandages, and Casino has his arm in a sling. No sign of King, though arguably part of the screen is off frame, so he's probably there.aegix drakan said:
What she needs is a rival. Maybe a guy who plays a high stakes version of PUBG meets counterstrike where death is rewarded painful neural shocks as they are hooked up matrix style?aegix drakan said:
Pretty much the reason I dislike Modern Blizzard at the moment. Too kiddy and too inspired by Disney these days. I remember when Blizzard was a lot more dark and edgy and it was awesome:maninahat said:
...did you just omit every Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft cinematic post-2003 to make a point?Samtemdo8 said:
Also, I didn't think that 1 IP out of 5 (other three have been abandoned) equaled "Disney," not did I think that Disney had the monopoly over Overwatch's style of animation, but shows what I know. 0_0
