It would be like watching a video of Heavy then a video of Scout and determining the Scout video was sped up

Symmetra. Same game as the Tracer one from earlier.



She and her turrets seem pretty weak, but the portal looks pretty handy.

The Tracer video looked slightly sped up, such that her movements and mouselook became... too tight for a human to do that quickly. It's subtle, but noticable.

I'm not referring to the forward blink/warp thing she had, just her behavior throughout the video. Looks like maybe 1.2-1.4x speed.

Have you guys become slow old men or what? Doesn't look sped up at all...

I was thinking it was sped up because I could have sworn we saw her and those two guns in a video previously and it was not that fast. I can follow it just fine, and she definitely has some sort of teleport/speed skills but the video also just seems a little off. IDK. Who gives a fuck.

Yeah it's noticeable because this game is designed to BE WATCHED more than any recent FPS. I think Blizzard is pretty much consciously designing the game to be a rich OBSERVER experience as much a player experience.

They've admitted to a company-wide commitment to e-sports, so it kinda makes sense that they'd invest a lot of energy making the game as fun to watch as it is to play.

I haven't been a big FPS gamer in years but I can't stop watching those videos.

It looks fast because she has some kind of chain blink move.
Na, the blink is clearly a noticeable skill when used, everything else in the vid did seem a bit faster than the Hanzo vid or the others, at least to me. Tracers skill set seems OP though, blink in, attach bomb, blink / rewind out...boom. Too bad Blizzard didn't want to make a bigger game out of this, something like a combo of The Secret World / Dragon's Nest, along with the arena PvP.

Uh, where have you been? They totally wanted to make a bigger game out of it. It was called Titan, but the concept ultimately failed, so they put Overwatch together based on the PvP aspects of that game.

Yeah I dunno man I don't think it was speed up I just don't see why they would even do that

I haven't seen anyone say they've noticed other videos sped up, so why would they speed up just this one? Everything will seem a bit faster in the video because, even when not blinking, she is faster than other heroes. As tenks said, its like watching a video of someone playing heavy in tf and then watching a video of scout.

It's also possible they just tweaked her speed, I'd assume they're changing things regularly. Nobody else looked like they were moving noticeably faster in the video. Even saying Tracer is moving faster from her other vid is slight if there at all.

It didn't look sped up to me, or if was it was still well within the range of human control. I recently watched some old recordings from my competitive Quake days and they're just a ridiculous blur compared to the pace of modern games.

Agreed.

I don't see how it could be sped up when you can see the E ability early on in the video counting down for recharge. If it was sped up that number would move faster then it should and it matches real time.

After the Mythic Second debacle I can never truly trust clocks again.
