1/28/2024 0 Comments Overwatch video shorts![]() Though there’s little blood in the game and no cursing, the game is rated Teen and the entire thing is based around gunplay, not to mention a few characters like Widowmaker being a touch…provocative. It’ll be a while yet before our next cinematic, but hopefully we can get smaller and more consistent shorts along the way.Past this, I’m wondering if Overwatch might run into some trouble as an oddly positioned PG-13 animated movie, as few of those exist, and most animated hits are G or PG so there’s no question about whether or not kids can attend. We may not agree, but it’s awesome that Overwatch is a big enough world that we can get two shorts that cover radically different characters and environments. It pinpoints why people think Overwatch is so special. The moments in these pieces that make the characters seem human are the ones that matter to me most. To me, that means something, and I think it will help color the way I see her in game. Instead of just being this very talkative girl in a parka, she has a heart that we see here. She isn’t even close to my favorite character or personality, but the choice to place an entire short around her waking up to find all the others dead and her willingness to not give up paints her in a different light for me. Instead, we kinda just got this very awkward scientist who loses everything in a flash, only to science things back together. I have already proved in spectacular fashion that I am an Overwatch Lore Novice, but a reveal of something greater didn’t really matter to me here. Rise and Shine may not bring much to the Overwatch world, but it doesn’t need to. So while I really loved The Plan and watching these two idiots fail spectacularly at everything, by the end of it I really just wanted Junkrat to shut the hell up. However, I have to say that I find that much Junkrat to be pretty dang cringy at times. Ryan: I would love to get around this without bashing The Plan at all, because I still think it is great. I don’t know whether it’s a test run for new content, or a one-off, but I absolutely want more videos in this kind of format and style. Meanwhile, The Plan is fun, snappy, and a total blast the whole way through. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m super glad we have Rise and Shine now that it’s here, but it’s not at the top of the list of stories I think need to be told in Overwatch’s universe. Compare it to The Last Bastion, which gets across everything it needs to without a word. The big reveal is that Mei’s re-joined Overwatch, under Winston, and that’s cool, but is it worth a whole cinematic?Īdd in a lot of dialogue that seems unnecessary, and Rise and Shine comes across as one of the weaker cinematics. ![]() We knew about Mei’s past from her bio and environmental cues in Ecopoint: Antarctica. Rise and Shine is absolutely gorgeous, but it doesn’t bring a lot of new information to the table. everything is just carefully planned, with no wasted movement, no redundancy. Every single animation, from Roadhog’s careful pause before he snaps his fingers around the fuse, to Junkrat’s. We discussed our thoughts on both pieces of content, and which one we thought came out on top.Ĭass: So, here’s the thing: I’m legitimately amazed at how well The Plan turned out. In fact, our game play lead Ryan Gilliam disagrees with me, and is all about Rise and Shine. Of course, this isn’t an objective truth. I honestly think The Plan is a better video than Rise and Shine. There’s something tickling the back of my mind. ![]() Both of these are really good, but, well.
