Gamereactor fick nyligen chansen att ta en djup diskussion med game director Jeffrey Kaplan från Blizzard, han jobbar just nu med 6v6-actionspelet Overwatch och hade massor av spännande detaljer att avslöja. Vi fick bland annat veta mer om Blizzards designfilosofi och att det går att se rester av deras nedlagda onlinerollspel Titan i Overwatch:
"There is definitely a lot of Titan influence in Overwatch. We spent a lot of years working on Titan and we thought a lot about that universe as we were working on it. So there are game mechanics. There are technology concepts. There are art concepts that we wanted to carry over from Titan."
Han fortsätter med att berätta att Overwatch, trots detta, ändå är ett spel i sig självt som bygger på unika idéer:
"At its core Overwatch is a brand new game. When we started the project we completely reset. We completely redid the artstyle. We completely redid the technology of the game. And the whole concept is completely different. Titan was really going to be this big giant MMO and I think as players are realising Overwatch is an epic game at heart, but the scope of it is really razor focused. It's a competitive 6v6 shooter. The game design is drastically different."
