God damn, im torn apart. On one hand OW2 has much better materials, more detailed and expressive faces, and animations convey more of the characters traits. But the posing is sooooo much better in OW1, if you would only see the outline of the character, you would immediately know who it is, and in OW2 not so much.
Because you've played the game for 5 years? Ofc you'd end up learning who is who by pose within that amount of time. Just give ow2 some time and you'll easily learn who poses like what. Plus, why would you let poses even be a determining factor?
@@labsled and its not a determining factor for gameplay at all, i love ow2 and have been playing it all weekend. It’s just that i work as 3D animator, and im paying alot of attention to stuff like that, because it all contributes to the whole artstyle of the game.
Despite the many mistakes overwatch 2 has made since release, i must admit that the loading animations are pretty cool. Too bad i can't play it, (stupid sms project)
@@SunlightGwyn i played the first game. I saw that it was removed because i opened the game by curiosity and a boom, it let me in, am actually playing as I'm typing this :)
With maybe the exception of widowmaker not having her gun, these all feel much more geared to showing you a taste of the characrers kit in some way, as well as give a better taste of their personality. Strict upgrade, nicely done imo
Disagree. Animations of D.Va or McCree were so much nicer, and overall all animations were short, less annoying and CONSISTENT. Why Junkrat laughs, Winstons talks, but Reinhardt is silent and Widowmaker is awkwardly standing facing the other way? With few exceptions like Mei or Symmetra, OW1 animations were so much more better.
is refreshing seeing the change, but why in the mother of god they remove the heroic potg intro from ow1? why they didnt keep both? i like a lot what pharah does, salute with her helmet in the arm
Main roadhog here I really like that now it seems more intimidating because of its strength and sure of what it is going to do because of how it cracks its neck as if nothing I don't know but my main seems more intimidating I have to say that his laugh was cool but this one too The good thing is that they have put more laughs similar to the old team in the game
@@torturedkfpemployee883 its a shame that its gone... I remember maining that death reaper guy andm mei, funny thing is I used to think her name was pronounced mel with an L.
tbh I was kind of expecting it'd be one side let you see all the animations and such while the other had like everything still locked... I am very pleased it is not
my opinion of which is better: Dva - OW1 Reinhardt - OW1 Roadhog - OW1 Winston - OW1 Zarya - OW1 Bastion - OW2 McCree - could combine both! spins the gun, then moves the hat up, then puts it down into the holster. overall, OW1 is just better if I had to pick one or the other. Genji - OW2 Soldier 76 - OW2 Tracer - OW2, although they should've kept the hair blowing part at the ending of the animation in OW1. Widowmaker - OW2 Hanzo - OW2 Junkrat - OW2 Mei - OW2 Reaper - OW2 Pharah - OW1, but again could've just kept OW1 while just adding the 'landing' start, yet keeping it sharp to a salute and good posture like in OW1, maybe removing the helmet right after landing. Symmetra - OW2 Mercy - OW2 Zenyatta - OW2 Torbjorn - OW2, although in both versions he's the most underwhelming one. Could've had him drinking his molten shit like in one of his POTG animations, just a little less flamboyant so the POTG one sticks out. Lucio - OW2
ow1 is exceptional at expressing personality and character through short and sweet animations. i don't know why they felt the need to change what was working, almost all of these new ones feel slow and uninteresting
Empecé a jugar OW2 porque un amigo quería que lo probara con él. Ya antes había comprado un paquete de juegos que incluía el OW1, pero solo jugué una partida y no me atrajo nada, no me llamó la atención, ya sin mencionar que no es de mis géneros de juego favoritos. Pero cuando probé OW2, el simple hecho de ver las animaciones de los personajes me hizo sentir atracción hacia el juego; como cada uno se nota que tiene una personalidad, como actúan y como esto va acorde a sus habilidades y mecanismos. Simplemente un deleite entrar a una partida de OW2 y ver las animaciones de los personajes que pienso jugar. Gran trabajo
Is it just me or does o1 look better in every aspect? Most of these new designs for the characters just look straight up worse, aside from bastion and zen maybe. But that’s just my opinion.
Is it just me or does soldier 76 look way better and cooler with a mask, for me it feels like they took away a core design feature from him and looks like a different person
Overwatch 1 is masterpiece. Animation is on whole another level, super subtle, professional amazing juicy animations! The rhytm the movements, ah, thank you developers for this pleassure in Overwatch 1. Overwatch 2 is downgrade.
im gonna be honest overwatch 2 is a massive upgrade cuz of it being free plus cmon who wants to play trashy ass paladins when you got ow2 also idc bout graphics all for me that matters is gameplay
These are cool! But I actually don't like the new UI designs. Everything's too blocky and simple. I prefer the old stylish character portrait border and the old font.
Now, i wish ow2 supports mods so you can bring back the old selection hud and the hud and kill feed one. I dislike the new hud with the ultimate, i kinda like the kill feed one but the old icons were better. Or just have a hud option to have OW1 hud style with the selection and stuff
I just hate the new ones, overall characters itself look better in ow2 but some of these goofy animations are so unnecessary, junkrat is making me cringe so hard and some heroes are more zoomed in than others
That's old school footage for OW1. Back from the early days when there was Offence and Defence instead of just DPS.
That's exactly the point cause OW2 will have updates too so comparing the start of both it's fine.
:^ Because these are both directly at the beginning of there games
When symmetra was a respected support
Wait they changed it? I hadn't played OW1 since end of 2017, didn't realize the way OW2 labels them was from a previous rework.
@@Soulindex a lot of skins came out since than like a lot
There’s no way genii just stood there and looked at the camera
Nah, he would show his shurikens and then stand there.
He really gave "nothing"
It's because he got old footages from overwatch 1.

I prefer DVa and Tracer's old select animations but other than that I really like these animations.
Never played OW because I didn't have the money nor a PS, but DVa is the only one I agree with, it was cooler :/
Never had overwatch 1 but tracer from ov1 looks like a crack head 💀

Dva's new animation is better
bastion's new animation shows so much more synergy with his little buddy. birdy *knows* he's switching and *knows* where to land now!
i miss zaryas intro so much it used to show off her muscles i wish they made it a highlight intro or something
I do miss some of the OW1 select animation; some of them were a classic. I wish we at least kept them in Highlight Intros as "Heroic 1" so we could still see them during POTGs.

Same
Same
I will miss the old ALL screen, interface, animation interface and screen....
tracer’s ow1 was really iconic lol
Yep the only pg16 that never look old 😅
I liked the more cartoony shine of OW1
que nostalgia, cuando ataque y defensa eran dos categorías
It’s only been one week and these already feel nostalgic
Low key I kinda miss the 2D art style portraits in the selecting agent options from OW1 than OW2

@@rezq9109 according to your opinion…
But in reality the OW1 animations look dated compared to the new ones which makes sense
I like people who records everything from previous versions and combines things back together. Nice of you!
It’s such a minor nitpick but I hate that Rein doesn’t show his hammer in his OW2 intro. It’s *whole* thing.
i miss the old feeling of OW1 , for me it was dead after role queue
Ok but like hear me out, some of the characters look a lot more attractive than I remember 😭😭😭 they're so coooool
is refreshing seeing the change, but why in the mother of god they remove the heroic potg intro from ow1? why they didnt keep both? i like a lot what pharah does, salute with her helmet in the arm
The old animation are more detailed with better lighting too. The new is too stylized and even more cartoon like.
the new models are more detailed you blind?
@@gamerbeast3616 Some are some are not. Some have less detail in the new models but have more life like movments and less robot like.
I love seeing the OW1 skins doing new animations, idk why but it just looks so... nostalgic I guess?
As a Cassidy main I really hate how he awkwardly smiles at the camera. It ruins his whole persona
Main roadhog here
I really like that now it seems more intimidating because of its strength and sure of what it is going to do because of how it cracks its neck as if nothing
I don't know but my main seems more intimidating
I have to say that his laugh was cool but this one too
The good thing is that they have put more laughs similar to the old team in the game
McCrees smirk scares me everytime lmao
Blizzard should give settings to bring back overwatch 1 animation for heros that we want😊

The new animations are great and so expressive. All the characters seem much more confident, but both animations have their own charm
0:36 Why isn't anyone pointing out that Genji is holding his sword in the wrong way?
The first game was a timeless classic
I wish they kept dvas finger gun in the new intro
I asked my sister what she thought of the new animations and she said "huh? They are different?" Lmaoo😀
I like all the new ones better. I don't play that much overwatch so I guess I don't have a nostalgia bias
It's not in the video, but Moira's new select screen animation is somewhat goofy as hell
tbh I was kind of expecting it'd be one side let you see all the animations and such while the other had like everything still locked... I am very pleased it is not
my opinion of which is better:
Dva - OW1
Reinhardt - OW1
Roadhog - OW1
Winston - OW1
Zarya - OW1
Bastion - OW2
McCree - could combine both! spins the gun, then moves the hat up, then puts it down into the holster. overall, OW1 is just better if I had to pick one or the other.
Genji - OW2
Soldier 76 - OW2
Tracer - OW2, although they should've kept the hair blowing part at the ending of the animation in OW1.
Widowmaker - OW2
Hanzo - OW2
Junkrat - OW2
Mei - OW2
Reaper - OW2
Pharah - OW1, but again could've just kept OW1 while just adding the 'landing' start, yet keeping it sharp to a salute and good posture like in OW1, maybe removing the helmet right after landing.
Symmetra - OW2
Mercy - OW2
Zenyatta - OW2
Torbjorn - OW2, although in both versions he's the most underwhelming one. Could've had him drinking his molten shit like in one of his POTG animations, just a little less flamboyant so the POTG one sticks out.
Lucio - OW2
This is pretty accurate.
I mostly agree but D VA is the only one where I wish I could choose the old ones

Soul vs Soulless
ow1 is exceptional at expressing personality and character through short and sweet animations. i don't know why they felt the need to change what was working, almost all of these new ones feel slow and uninteresting
I know, this is not the start I was expecting for OW2.
I'm sorry but I feel the exact opposite. I think almost every single hero select in ow2 is a massive upgrade and shows a lot more character.
Some are better. This doesn’t feel like a net downgrade
I think some got improved but others feel more shallow than their OW1 counterparts.
yea, i wish we had the option to choose which one we want, some heros look better in OW2 but most of them didnt need to be changed

Is it just me, or OW1 looked better ? Like, really, there is something weird with the eyes done.
Sym is here to kick some asses
Reinhardt gave Pharah his helmet in OW2 (after a few modifications), that's why he had one in OW1 but now doesn't, and why Pharah now has a helmet
Never thought I'd get to see Bearded 76
has anyone noticed they changed McCree's name to Cassidy in the select screen?
How old is that ow1 footage 💀
This is one of the few things OW2 did better than OW1.
Great changes in Bastion, he got a cap and a yellowish skin
watching this again because they don’t even load whenever I choose a hero 😭🙏
