Jeff Kaplan Nearly Revealed a New Character during 10 Hour Stream

Kaplan

December 24, 2017 saw a very odd Twitch stream done by the Overwatch development team. This could be defined as a massive trolling event or a work of art, I’d go for the former. Jeff Kaplan decided to make an appearance sitting near a fireplace… For 10 hours.

This transmission happened without much fanfare, soon everybody was flocking to the Twitch Stream to watch Jeff Kaplan sitting down and doing absolutely nothing. Also accompanying Jeff were some prop cookies and milk and an Overwatch mug which was revealed to be empty.

I mean, it’s obvious that some sequences during the stream were repeats of others. So Mr. Kaplan surely should’ve left his seat every now and then to spend some time with his family. The transmission itself managed to reach up to 40,000 people with clearly nothing better to do.

There were some highlights that happened during the transmission. Some of them include the moment where Jeff cleaned his glasses after being hit by a boom mic, when he played Hearthstone on his phone, he also received a phone call, and even lit the fireplace with a clap.

The most hilarious highlight must’ve been when Jeff unwrapped a gift. Just beside him was a purple wrapped gift that had a framed picture of Genji saying “I need Healing”.

The frustrating part came near the end when Jeff decided to give a Christmas gift for the fans of the game. He begun talking about a new character that’s going to join the roster in the near future. However, the real troll moment came during his “Announcement”.

So, Jeff said “To say thank you to all of you, me and the Overwatch team are very excited and proud to announced that the very next hero will be-“ And then the stream cuts to a “Technical error” where Jeff suffers a massive lag spike or probably got hacked by Sombra just to add salt to the wound.

And that’s it, Jeff left his seat after 10 hours and the new hero was still unannounced. Everybody has been thrown for a loop and probably got the biggest troll in Christmas Eve. You can watch the full stream right here or look at the highlights with this video below:

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
