A Closer Look at Doomfist and Characters Born from Nothing.
What do you usually think about a character that comes from a small detail in a video game? You usually think of characters like ERMAC from Mortal Kombat who wasn’t really a character. Much more of a function that consisted on counting how many Error Macros you’d get in the arcade game. How about Walter Sullivan? Who was briefly mentioned in a pointless newspaper article in Silent Hill 2 before being turned into the main villain of Silent Hill 4: The Room? Doomfist is Overwatch’s version of these characters.
Doomfist: The Social Darwinist that Came from a Line
Born from a gauntlet Talon wanted to get, something a kid briefly mentioned in a cinematic trailer about how he could destroy skyscrapers. One of the most dangerous heroes in Overwatch was born from a single line and evolved into the character brimming with the power he’s now known for. Now, players know that he is Akande Ogundimu from Nigeria and is the personification of a Social Darwnist that would make Senator Armstrong blush.
Indeed, that sort of power goes to his design, which the Overwatch creators admitted was heavily inspired from Arcade fighting games. Considering that Doomfist is a close quarters combat character, he centers a lot around closing in opponents in direct one-on-one confrontations. It certainly is admirable to see Blizzard try to implement something as different as a fighting game mechanic into a First person team shooter.

Creativity with this character is one of the things I recognized when I tested him during the Public Test Region. I didn’t feel like this powerful badass who can punch through things. I wanted to be meticulous, show that every battle truly forges a man and that they learn from their mistakes. And truly, this is one character you can’t be totally reckless with. Because just like in arcades, Recklessness is harshly punished. But again, it’s one of the most admirable qualities of Overwatch.
Teamwork and Fighting games in a shooter
What I like about the heroes themselves is that they are amazing doing their own thing, but can’t truly live without their teammates. And while Doomfist is a character that can power through hordes of characters with his moveset. He can do it on a one-by-one basis. And if players try to attack others from up front. They will realize that Doomfist is meant to be a flank character that doesn’t benefit from direct confrontations. He’s not a one-man army, nobody is.
I can certainly say that Overwatch has done a magnificent job at doing with just a line in an early video presentation what many fail to do with entirely written scripts. Doomfist is certainly a character that will brim with power and show confidence for those players who want to be meticulous but show those amazing combos you’ll see in fighting games. Certainly, it is a character that was forged with battles. And hopefully, so will his users after July 27
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
