Opinion: Why I Want an Overwatch Story Campaign More than Overwatch 2

For a game I still spend up to 20 hours a week playing, I’ll be the first to admit that Overwatch does have its problems. Yes, the inherent problems of balancing a 30 character hero-shooter roster plague it, the issues of its loot box culture are well documented, and its lack of role queue system still frustrates many. None of these, however, affect my enjoyment of Overwatch enough; it’s still my favourite game.

All of these issues fall to the back of my mind when I’m in the heat of battle in Ilios or trying to push the payload through the winding backlot of Hollywood. These locations have provided me with some of the most fun I’ve had over the past 3 years, but sadly this is all that they remain to me, locations. There is no sense of history to them; I am not tied to them in any way beyond the fact their geography is burned into my brain. With the news breaking that Blizzard are pulling resources from a planned Starcraft FPS and putting extra focus on the development of a new Overwatch game, it got me thinking about what I would like to see from it.

Weaver Says She, Murray and Aykroyd Back for Ghostbusters

Sigourney Weaver claims she will reprise her role as Dana Barrett in director Jason Reitman’s upcoming Ghostbusters movie — and that her former co-stars Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd will join her!

In an interview with Parade Magazine, Weaver — who portrayed musician Dana Barrett, Peter Venkman’s love interest, in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II — confirmed that she will return for Reitman’s film, which has previously been described as a sequel to the original films and not a reboot or continuation of the previous 2016 reboot.

E3 2019: Google Stadia’s Buddy Pass Is Region-Free (Sort Of)

E3 2019 finally brought us more information on Google Stadia, the upcoming streaming platform. The Connect event revealed lots of hitherto unknown details, such as Stadia’s price, release date, and initial games lineup, as well as a first look at the platform’s buddy pass.

The pass is included in the Stadia Founder’s Edition, and it allows you to give three months of Stadia Pro access to a friend. Now we also know that works across territories, so long as your friend is in one of the countries where Stadia has launched. For example, a US resident could gift their buddy pass to a UK-based friend, since both of those countries will receive Stadia in its launch month of November 2019.

Stadia Pro is the platform’s premium service. It enables 4K video streaming for the games you play. It will also include free access to a selection of games and “exclusive” discounts. It will cost $10 / £9 per month.

Todd Howard Doesn’t Regret Elder Scrolls Oblivion’s Horse Armor

When horse armor first debuted in Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, it was priced at $2.50, and it effectively went on to define bad DLC in an age when battle passes didn’t exist yet. To this day, it’s a frequently repeated joke when some other company debuts some lackluster content. However, Bethesda director Todd Howard guested on this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered, and he says he doesn’t regret horse armor one bit.

“Horse armor is not bad,” Howard told IGN. “I think horse armor is fine. The price point at the time was the issue. Xbox, they were doing themes. Ringtones were big at the time. Ringtones were just crushing it for Nokia or whoever….We felt, ‘Well it’s probably worth this

Destroy All Humans Remake Announced

THQ Nordic has announced a remake of the 2005 alien action game Destroy All Humans just ahead of E3 2019. The tongue-in-cheek action game is slated for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

IGN reports that this is a remake of the original. Before it was officially revealed, though, Amazon leaked the game through a listing that has since been pulled. That listing had a placeholder 2020 date, and showed several screenshots and details.

The listings stated that the game is set in the 1950s, putting you in the role of an invading conqueror named Crypto-137. You can pose as humans to “infiltrate their fragile democracy,” use powers and weapons like psychokinesis and an anal probe gun, and explore Area 42 in a restored mission.

“The cult-classic returns! Terrorize the people of 1950s Earth in the role of the evil alien Crypto-137,” the product description read. “Harvest their DNA and bring down the US government in the faithful remake of the legendary alien invasion action adventure. Annihilate puny humans using an assortment of alien weaponry and psychic abilities. Reduce their cities to rubble with your flying Saucer! One giant step on mankind!”

This is the third new game announcement from THQ Nordic in only a few days. First it announced a remake of SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Then alongside the recent Google Stadia presentation, the company announced Darksiders Genesis, an overhead Diablo-like action game featuring the horseman Strife. Expect more games and news in all of the upcoming press conferences.

The Division 2 Devs’ Response To Crunch And Player Feedback Is A Game-Changer

Many gamers can point to studios who’ve lost their trust or respect, whether as a result of implementing brutal crunch periods, misleading players, or communicating poorly. But some studios are trying to do things differently, even if that means admitting mistakes and making big changes based on player feedback.

In a new GameSpot video feature, Jess McDonell dives into the story behind a studio doing just that with The Division 2: Massive Entertainment.

With the advent of the internet, we live in a world where consumers are clued in, wise to technology, and deeply aware of what they want. In the realm of gaming, inviting player feedback can bring about a better product, or simply earn goodwill and show transparency to a loyal playerbase; a currency that is worth quite a lot, especially for ongoing games that hope to retain their players.

In the video feature, Jess speaks with Massive community developers Petter Martensson and Christoph Gansler about how they engage with and incorporate player feedback with the live service game.

Check out the full video above, and come back soon to see our full Q&A with Martensson and Gansler.

11 Terrible TV Shows Based On Movies, Ranked

In the hugely competitive world of TV, brand recognition is one of the biggest advantages that a producer or network can have. All shows face a struggle to find an audience, but never is this more true than when a series is entirely new. GameSpot’s ever-growing list of canceled shows reveals just how few new series make it to a second or third season.

One way that a show can arrive with a built-in audience is if it’s an adaptation of an already successful movie. That’s the theory anyway. There have been several great TV series based on films, some of which are now better known in their small screen versions, such as M*A*S*H*, Friday Night Lights, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Most recently, the likes of Hannibal, Fargo, and The Exorcist proved that an interesting approach to an existing movie could result in good things.

Sadly, there are many more examples of bad shows that have been adapted from movies. The previous examples either did something interesting with the original concept or made use of the longer running time to expand on the characters and story. But too many shows think that slavishly copying what made a movie so popular, and stretching it over many hours, will result in something just as good. But as we’ve seen so many times over the years, it does not.

The other big problem of adapting hit movies to the small screen is the cast. Very few TV adaptations can afford the stars that made the film a hit in the first place, so often we are left with cheaper, and frankly less talented, equivalents. Sometimes it doesn’t matter, when the concept is strong enough to overcome a cast downgrade. But when your movie relied on the charisma and talent of someone like John Candy or Jackie Chan, it’s no wonder the TV version seems poor in comparison.

So here’s our look at the worst ever TV shows adapted from hit movies. In most cases, these series didn’t make it to a second season and have been wisely forgotten by most viewers. But they did happen, and serve only to remind us of how good the films were to start with.
