After much teasing and speculation, Blizzard has revealed the next character--Hero 28--for Overwatch. The brief teaser shows off a mechanized rolling ball of death, before out pops an adorable little hamster. He's so cute! And deadly! [Update: Beyond the simple look below, we now have gotten a full look at Wrecking Ball's abilities. He's live now on the PC version's PTR.]
The BadThe lack of storyline, cutscenes, character background and extras coupled with uninspiring music and a single level background makes the game quite bland. You just pick your favourite hamster (which are only cosmetically different) and away you go. The gameplay is like a 3D version of The Irritating Maze but with awkward physics. The cameras shakes and moves around like there's an earthquake as you struggle to maintain the hamster orb's momentum. The only sure way to pass every level is to move slowly and that's not fun.

The Bottom LineThe game doesn't really live up to it's title. With the concept of hamsters as different kinds of heroes, you'd expect a run and gun game instead of a racing game with hamster orbs. The framework of this game had potential but got wasted in a run-of-the-treadmill racing game. It's more fun to play mini-golf with a remote controlled ball. I guarantee that the fun in this game will end at the same instant it begins. Do away with this title, it's not worth it.
As well as surprise at Hammond the hamster's announcement, Overwatch fans have dutifully pointed out a certain double standard this now creates - that Jetpack Cat, a previously-dropped hero design, was ditched for being too wacky. Does Hammond the hamster mean Jetpack Cat could now see the light of day? Overwatch fans are already excited at the possibility.
One ability that was tested involved Wrecking Ball gaining momentum as the character rolled through the level, causing more damage to enemy heroes. However, this had unintended consequences as Wrecking Ball's momentum could be redirected by certain abilities, like Pharah's "Concussive Blast", and damage unintended targets; as Overwatch was developed to avoid friendly fire, the ability was scrapped.[11] During this period, developers came upon the idea of including a grappling hook as part of the character's skill kit, which Goodman believed cemented the character.[6] For the grappling hook feature to work, Blizzard had to refine some parts of how the Overwatch game was run related to their physics engine; most physics calculations were made on the client side, so how objects moved under the control of physics may appear different to all players. Blizzard had previously explored a full server-side physics engine, which was helpful for testing, but was a strain for regular matches. Enough of Wrecking Ball's physics were conducted server side for consistent behavior for all players.[11] Developers also experimented with several variants of what would become Wrecking Ball's adaptive shield, which at one point involved the character firing off up to four beam turrets that would provide shields for the hero, but like Symmetra's turrets, these could be placed in difficult-to-hit locations, making it hard for opponents to destroy them. As Wrecking Ball was designed to fare well in clusters of opponents, the design team ultimately went with shields boosted in accordance with the number of nearby opponents.[11] Wrecking Ball's piledriver ability was originally envisioned as his ultimate. In this iteration, the ultimate would launch Wrecking Ball up before slamming into the ground, and would have left opponents hanging in the air for five seconds. Once they added the grappling hook, these additional effects were deemed unnecessary and piledrive eventually became a regular ability.[11]
This past week, three of the protests were themed around "Hamtaro," where protesters ran around public places in circles, like a hamster wheel, while singing a modified version of the cartoon's jingle, saying the government loves feasting on taxpayer's money and demanding Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha dissolve parliament. 2ff7e9595c
