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.

[@ReyvanLatino]

That's entirely true and now we can´t go back, I hope they do something about it to turn OW2 into its ultimate form.

[@Spiderbart99]

Not true m8

[@Dizpiz569]

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?

[@rafalwojna]

@@Dizpiz569 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.

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

[@rezq9109]

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.

[@verguco6051]

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

[@rylsdark]

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

[@ReyvanLatino]

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
