The neat thing, is that "Doomfist's Gauntlet" was an interesting little lore tidbit that had people curious for a while, and every once in a while, people would find another little reference to this "Doomfist" character. Keeping in mind that this trailer first debuted in 2014, and the game itself came out in 2016... in July of 2017, they finally revealed that they would be adding Doomfist himself as a playable character, and he is a *powerhouse.*
For some reason that line delivery from Tracer in this one always gets me emotional. "You know? The world could always use more heroes..." Oh yeah, it could...
This was the first trailer people initially saw live at Blizzcon 2014, so its naturally a little bit different. It gives a first look at the game and the characters, shows of the general setting and basically puts the audience in the shoes of that blue kid in the sense that now they have the chance to become a hero by playing the game. It made a really good first impression back then.
I love how you guys talk about the episodes afterwards, some reactors are so quick to end the episode without really saying much. Love what you guys do!
Thanks so much! We use to not talk as much because most people only see reaction but then more people liked our post discussion so we don’t mind geeking out after this vids now 😊
I remember when this had first come out. Thinking it was a movie and wondering who was making it. Then found out it was a game and saw all the comments saying Blizzard should just make animation movies. The anticipation of what the game would be like and people being curious about the characters shown was really awesome at the time! Glad you both reacted to it!
Imagine...back in fckn 2014 (!) people said that. Everyone told them to just make an animated series, be it about Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft or Overwatch. And Blizz just didnt do it. Now Riot Games made Arcane, and almost everyone loved it. Blizzard couldve had the success and recognition of Arcane YEARS ago, and they just didnt fckn do it. All that wasted potential...its so sad.
Small fact - that guard looks to be playing Hearthstone another Blizzard property. Hearthstone's trailers have gradually become longer and more musical over time.
If it’s not on your guys list already I’d like to recommend the borderlands openings and trailers. They’re pretty cool. (But we do love some overwatch💙)
Tracer and Widowmaker have some history tho: in "Alive" Tracer is saying to Widowmaker "Trying to crash another party, love?" (to be honest I always thought that "party" is that Museum fight) And also the Evil badass is "Reaper".
So, I think the playlist y'all have is chronological in the universe but in release order, you got it spot on, this one is the first look the world had of the game before release and it was exactly what sold so many of us on the game when it came out 😌 this very much set the fanbase's bar for "Give us the Overwatch Pixar movie". Also, as you've probably guessed, you can totally do the stuff they show you here like Winston's rage and Reaper's Death Blossom.
Reaper is evil because he went a bit cuckoo after some experimental treatment that saved his life and gave him that misty superpower. Before he was pretty swell guy and a part of Overwatch.
Yeah but there is also a theory that overwatch leaked ages ago but reaper wanted to be like solider 76 but soilder took that from him and reaper got pissed and got help to have those demon like powers so now reaper hunts for soilder 76
Reaper was the leader of the Blackwatch basically black ops division of overwatch, so while Soldier 76 was the shining hero Reaper was the guy for the dirty jobs
Overwatch has one of the most engaging intros to a game I've enjoyed in years. In game Winston is a tank and CAN take a lot of damage. Reaper does NOT have those grenades, but he CAN use wraith walk and he can teleport "through the shadows" to a destination a decent distance away. he does a cool teleportation animation where he crosses his guns across his chest as he disappears. Of course Widowmaker can still headshot him as he does this animation. I've done it and had it done to me.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames There's a certain satisfaction with a successful headshot :D. the best ones are when you get one in midair. For example, I got a highlight doing this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h933TK_NBRU.html
I really wished there was a animated TV series. OW has so many stories to tell. Both Blizzard & Valve has so many interesting titles and yet both of them are good at not doing anything at all.
*The Thrill-Loving Story-Lover in Me:* "Well, that was a pretty cool short! I wonder what the big brother's Call Sign will be when he gets around to joining Overwatch." *The Smarty-Pants in Me:* "Whoa. The museum staff *_didn't_* decommission Doomfist's building-flattening gauntlet before putting it on public display? That's a catastrophe waiting to happen!"
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames ...and another question: How is Widowmaker _still _*_alive_* - let alone _conscious, standing and running around_ - after getting punched with Doomfist's non-decommissioned, building-flattening gauntlet? Inquiring minds want to know, because every bone in her body should be _oatmeal_ after taking a hit from something like that! o_O I guess she's been eating her French spinach or whatever. :-p
@@BloodyBay Well, it's a building-flattening gauntlet that's being swung by the wimpy arms of a teenager instead of the tower of muscle that is Doomfist. Also, while it's not been decommissioned it's quite possibly in need of maintenance (see how it falls apart immediately after use).
fun fact winston is actually very effective against widow (the sniper) as he can easily jump the distance in between and in melee he is superior. Meanwhile reaper (mask dude) is super effective against winston (and most tanks actually) as he has insane close range damage output just melting through tanks and their shields
You can tell that when tracer said the world could always use more heros, that statement stuck to the teen and possibly changing his life's direction. Who knows, he may even be a future character in the game 🤔
Hello from Russia. I apologize in advance for my bad English. I've been watching your channel for some time now. And I just wanted to say thank you for what you are doing. You have great reactions, you prepare well and try to figure it out, it's really cool. Continue in the same spirit. I'm really looking forward to new reactions on League of Legends. Good and positive^^
Wait till u get to "Honor and Glory" and "Dragons"......best animated shorts ever created for a video game imo. The overwatch 2 cinematic is also epic.
yeah... that video is in chronological order as things happened in the universe i think, the release order of all the animated shorts is pretty diferent: Recall, Alive, Dragons, Hero, The last Bastion, Infiltration, Rise and shine, Honor and glory, Shooting star and Reunion
"he can take a lot of hits"... Well yeah, he is what we gamers call a "TANK". A tank is a frontliner who can take a lot of damage, but usually don't deal alot of damage themselves. Tracer is a damage dealer/DPS'er (damage per second). They usually deal a lot of damage, but die easily too.
Its very old, but i would like guys to give a look at the Legacy of Kain series Intros. -Blood Omen -Soul reaver -Soul reaver 2 -Blood Omen 2 -Soul reaver:Defiance.
I love u guys I hope you guys love overwatch as much as I do ❤️❤️ and that little kid is my favourite 🥺 Also this one is after recall when Winston contacts tracer so it is in chronological order
If you guys like disturbing... well... buckle up for Sigma's Origin Story (Overwatch). Waiting for dragons and Honor and Glory. ❤ Loves from Armenia 🇦🇲
I think something the both of you would enjoy would be the trailers to Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Edit: There's also a video buy punk duck called How to Monster Hunter and its a comedic tutorial video on how to play the game.
A world where heroes would always prevail-Overwatch were the world’s first and last line of defense from those who would bring the world to ruin. But after Overwatch had fallen by their enemies, Talon, the Overwatch agents that remained went into hiding. The world can and will always need heroes like Overwatch to set the world right for all.
You two should watch the paladins champions of the realm by hi-rez\ evil mojo (same people who made smite) they dont have as many cinematics that arent just charcter trailers abd arent as quality (specily the first few) but id love for more people to react to them cause the can be fun especily when watched blind.
The evil skull mask guy was actually the Original leader of Overwatch and he became evil because they replaced him as leader with basically solder 76 after the omni crisis war
Kinda any Taskmaster. Didn’t love Black Widow movie Taskmaster. Making her just a mindless robot and absolving Natasha so easily of the red in her ledger wasn’t our favorite choice. We get it’s Disney but it’s okay to have the kid be dead and Natasha blaming herself for it. Also just not enough fight scenes hand to hand combat with Taskmaster. Was hoping it was going to be in par with fight choreography of The Winter Soldier. But overall we still enjoyed it and love our girl Nat 🥰🤗🥳
Absolutly love you guys and the reactions to gaming and movie stuff :) Would love to see you two react to Deus Ex Mankind Diveded Reveal Trailer or basically anything from the Deus Ex franchise ;)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Awesome! Also a very emotional and arguably the best Battlefield cinematic scene is the “Battlefield V intro” hits the feels everytime.
please watch the fiddlesticks teaser from league of legends, it’s incredibly good. maybe include it in a compilation with other champion teasers?? i’d love to see your reaction
