Computer game Overwatch ("Overwatch"): system requirements, release date

The company Blizzard Entertainment is known for the fact that each of its new project instantly overgrown with a large number of fans. So is it any wonder that their future multiplayer first-person shooter Overwatch inspires confidence in many? By the way, the closed testing of the game, access to which were given to players, was held at the end of 2015. And that's the impression that Overwatch made on these lucky ones.

Game "Overwatch": release date

It is worth noting that this game is the first that Blizzard has developed in this genre. Therefore, there were some doubts that the project would be successful, nevertheless. True, the real fans of the company's work hardly doubted this, because they were initially confident that this multiplayer shooter will be one of the best for today.

Although guessing is not long. Soon everyone will be able to verify this statement by playing in the "Overwatch". The date of its release is set at the end of May 2016. So we wait.

Game process. First impressions

Immediately it is worth noting that the game will certainly like the fans of shooters. It is designed for a session game, where in battle against each other can come together two teams of six players. And everyone can choose whom to be: a stormtrooper, a defender, a hero of support or a tank. It follows that there are only four classes in Overwatch, and 21 heroes are available for the game. So the choice will be, and not small to the same.

The game "Overwatch" is not for those who like to play alone. Only in the team together, you can achieve success and come to victory. And it is not necessary to immediately engage in a real battle, you can first go through training and test yourself in training. And only having gained experience, to battle with real players.

Speaking about the game "Overwatch", the system requirements to which will be considered later, it is impossible not to mention its combat modes. There are only two of them - tracking and capturing points. In the first mode, it will be necessary either to protect a certain object, or to deliver the EMP device intact. As for the capture mode, one team will have to attack, and the second will guard the control points. Only sometimes it is not clear what it is necessary to do, attack or defend, because the events are so fast that it only remains to endlessly press the key, destroying the enemies, well, after it is already clear what is what.

The characters "Overwatch", although divided into four types, but all completely different, not similar to each other. Each hero will have his own personal ability or skill, which will correspond to their specialization. Thanks to this, players will be able to develop different tactics before the start of the battle, in order to try to gain an advantage over another team.

Although it may happen that in the midst of the battle the spent tactics will be useless to the opposing team, because of which the air will smell of defeat. Only this situation is not critical, since at any time there is the opportunity to change the characters to others and radically change the course of the battle.

In addition to unique abilities, each hero will have his own crown attack. True, it can be used if the energy scale is fully restored, and for this it is necessary to kill as many enemies as possible. Despite the fact that each match lasts no more than 10 minutes, there is a way to finish it before. For example, if one team manages to beat off all control points, then its opponents will automatically lose.

What is still pleasing is the manageability of the game "Overwatch". The review of the management system, honestly, is not needed. After all, it is simple and familiar to all players. In order to join the fight, just a mouse and a keyboard. And to win, you only need to manage them adroitly, so as not to lose.

Graphic component

The one who saw the screenshots and video clips for the game, probably, will agree that visually it looks worthy. Objects, characters, marks from the shots - everything is perfectly drawn. And the developers have so optimized the game so that it will run both on powerful computers and on machines with average characteristics. Thus, in the game "Overwatch" system requirements should not be too high. But more about this later. I'm glad that during the test there were no glitches and hangs. And for such games this is a big plus.

Sound accompaniment

Positive opinion in many developed about the voice acting and soundtracks for the game. The musical accompaniment is balanced in such a way as to harmoniously fit into the events occurring on the screen. Russification is also implemented perfectly. To the game, even a voice chat was attached, for communication between players. In general, with the sound in Overwatch all is well, at least, negative feedback was not.

Game "Overwatch": system requirements

According to the developers, their new product is aimed at a wide audience. Therefore, you can run the game on computers with different characteristics, which can not but rejoice.

And indeed, for a comfortable game on medium settings you will need a GeForce 460 or Radeon HD4870 graphics card, 4 GB RAM, and Intel Core i3 processors. This configuration will make it possible to play calmly at a rate of 30 frames per second.

For 60 frames, you need a more powerful computer. The video card must be at least GeForce 670 or Radeon HD7950. As for the processor, at least Intel Core i5 or a similar version from AMD. RAM is 6 GB.

It's clear that in both cases you need Windows OS of the last three versions and 5 GB of free disk space. Given the above, we can conclude that many players still can experience the "Overclock". System requirements, as it turned out, are quite modest.

Eventually

Summing up, you can already say with certainty that "Overwatch" is a worthy multiplayer shooter, which, most likely, can move even the legendary Team Fortress 2. After all, at the stage of beta testing, it freely competes with many games of a similar genre.

Proof of this is interesting and elaborate gameplay, beautiful graphics, convenient management, a large number of characters and exciting, frenzied battles that in just a few minutes can deliver a lot of fun to the player. And yet there must be some story, but there is no information about it yet, which means that it will be one of the strongest advantages of the game "Overwatch". Well, let's see if this is so.
