Commented on 2015-12-10 04:42:03Battleborn has many light MOBA mechanics and doesn't really play like a typical shooter. I think it's kind of an interesting game that's bound to get steamrolled by the competition, but it's almost a different genre than Overwatch. Overwatch is pure FPS.
Commented on 2015-12-11 12:19:59I don't think it helps that artistically they also look quite similar...and have a similar pace to them. Where as though COD and rainbow 6 both contain guns, you can't really confuse the two as they play at such a different pace to one another.
I dunno if this getting steamrolled by the competition is a given. Obviously Overwatch has been making a lot of headlines in the gaming press lately...but that's more to do with it being a Blizzard game - the rarity of them offering a new IP and developing for console. I'd reckon the average console gamer, and majority of casual gamers (that also make up the majority of console install base) has probably more relation to borderlands and gearbox than warcraft and Blizzard. So maybe that will go in their favour. Or maybe the fact that even those following gaming sites etc still get the two confused with one another will end up benefiting it.

They're class-based shooters at heart. Pacing is another area where all of these games differ. A long round of Overwatch is ten minutes. It's a fast game.
And maybe you're right. I've seen a lot of cynicism surrounding this game though, and I see a lot of people who can't seem to tell any game with a big cast of characters apart. I wouldn't be shocked if someone called Street Fighter a "hero shooter" at this point. It's got heroes and projectiles!
