Y'all, Stop trusting leaks

They are so disgustingly easy to fake and it requires minimal effort. Please stop. Overwatch 2 is not coming out this year. No AAA game goes from early alpha 3 months ago to a full game 1 year later.

I laugh at anyone who believes leaks no matter how they are presented, wait for Blizzard themselves to say anything, not screenshots or twitter accounts any teenager is put in charge of.

Stop hyping rumours and then blaming Blizzard when they are not true.

exactly. I legit made these for another thread to show tweets are easy to fake, explicitly said I faked them, and still one of them was posted as if it were true.

didn’t they say it was coming out in like September 2020 or smthg

Considering in November they said it was still early alpha and was going to take years, I doubt it.

It does if you cut corners like gamefreak does with pokemon.

Such as not having to build characters from scratch except few new ones, same engine, same attacks… OW2 isn’t going to be a completely new game.

I mean, it was an official Twitter account of a company, Blizzard associates/works with. To be fair i would much rather see the game coming out, like soon, instead of having to wait till late 2k21.
Also kinda KEKW on the AAA game.

You want to see another official twitter account make a tweet about OW2?

Google “fake tweet gen” pick any of the generators and spend 3 minutes. Thats how long it took me.

There is no way anyone can fake things other people say.

Watch it come out in 2020 after blizz con then you will shut up lol

Dude. I left the dates wrong on 2 of them, left off the verified check on the fb post and people still ate it up. It’s ridiculous how easy it is to do.

No I won’t because I’m not an idiot. Early alpha to full game in less than a year does not a full game make.

To be fair, and I am not putting a timetable on Overwatch 2, it isn’t a game being made from the ground up.

I could not begin to assume how much of the assets Blizzard will be using from OW1 or what they have left over from the PVE “project titan” assets. But Overwatch 2 isn’t a completely new IP.

Not salty. I just love fact checking and proving points. This one just worked pretty well. Speaking of fact checking…

enough significant engine upgrades to not even be considered the same engine, but you do you.

Definitely not new IP, but the engine is different enough from 1 there is no realistic way they could plausibly finish it that quickly.

Building engine from scratch =/= upgrading existing engine

Please quote where I said they were building a new engine? I do believe I said significant upgrades it may as well not be, which isn’t the same thing.

:joy::joy:

Fakest. May as well be here lol

And my point was that they can push out an “expansion” to an existing game fairly fast by cutting corners or just building on top of an existing game and features. Gamefreak does this all the time, lots of game companies to this for sequels.

Cool, we aren’t talking about gamefreak or pokemon, and I merely commented that your assertion that they were using the same engine was inherently incorrect.
