Overwatch (video game)
Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer online first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released in May 2016 for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. "Overwatch" assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting from a roster of over 20 characters, known in-game as "heroes", each with a unique style of play, whose roles are divided into four general categories: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map or escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time.
Characters of Overwatch
The team-based first person shooter video game "Overwatch", developed by Blizzard Entertainment and released in May 2016, features 26 playable characters (heroes) and a number of supporting characters as part of the game's narrative, which is told through animated media and digital comics outside of the game. The story of "Overwatch" takes place on Earth in the "near future" in the years after the "Omnic Crisis," a period in which robots (called "omnics") rose up in rebellion worldwide, and the United Nations formed an elite group called Overwatch to combat them. Overwatch was disbanded years later under a cloud of suspicion, but its former members have returned to the fore in light of new threats to humanity.
First-person shooter
First-person shooter (FPS) is a video game genre centered around gun and other weapon-based combat in a first-person perspective; that is, the player experiences the action through the eyes of the protagonist. The genre shares common traits with other shooter games, which in turn makes it fall under the heading action game. Since the genre's inception, advanced 3D and pseudo-3D graphics have challenged hardware development, and multiplayer gaming has been integral. The first-person shooter genre has been traced as far back as "Maze War", development of which began in 1973, and 1974's "Spasim". Later, and after more playful titles like "MIDI Maze" in 1987, the genre coalesced into a more wantonly violent form with 1992's "Wolfenstein 3D", which has been credited with creating the genre's basic archetype, that subsequent titles were based upon.
Development of Overwatch
"Overwatch" is a team-based first-person shooter developed by Blizzard Entertainment and released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in June 2016. The game, while having several different play modes, generally features two teams of six players each, selecting pre-made heroes from the game's roster, to either attack or defend various objective points on the game's maps. The game supports causal game modes as well as ranked competitive play. Since release, "Overwatch" has been both critically and financially successful, with a player base of 35 million players as of October 2017. The development of "Overwatch" started in the fallout following Blizzard's decision to cancel continued development of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game "Titan" around 2013.
Nonviolent video game
Nonviolent video games are video games characterized by little or no violence. As the term is vague, game designers, developers, and marketers that describe themselves as non-violent video game makers, as well as certain reviewers and members of the non-violent gaming community, often employ it to describe games with "comparatively" little or no violence. The definition has been applied flexibly to games in such purposive genres as the Christian video game, however a number of games at the fringe of the "non-violence" label can only be viewed as objectively violent. The purposes behind the development of the nonviolent genre are primarily reactionary in nature.
Tracer (Overwatch)
Tracer (also known by her real name, Lena Oxton) is a player character appearing in the 2016 video game "Overwatch", a Blizzard Entertainment–developed first-person shooter, and its related animated and literary media. Tracer is from the "Overwatch" universe, but she was first introduced as a playable character in an April 2016 update for Blizzard's crossover multiplayer online battle arena game, "Heroes of the Storm", a month before "Overwatch"s official release. The character, who is of British origin, has been noted by video game outlets to be both peppy and energetic. In-game, Tracer is weak in terms of health but is highly mobile, making use of her teleportation and time traveling abilities.
Video game controversies
Video game controversies are societal and scientific arguments about whether the content of video games change the behavior and attitudes of a player, and whether this is reflected in video game culture overall. Since the early 2000s, advocates of video games have emphasized their use as an expressive medium, arguing for their protection under the laws governing freedom of speech and also as an educational tool. Detractors argue that video games are harmful and therefore should be subject to legislative oversight and restrictions. The positive and negative characteristics and effects of video games are the subject of scientific study.
