Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • T_Tibke Terry Tibke (@T_Tibke) reported

    @LegacyKillaHD Literally who is Vicarious Visions? Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk Pro Skater? No idea how either had sequels, but dang I'm stoked these devs get to help speed along #Overwatch 2.

  • SetosSweetHome Setobox (@SetosSweetHome) reported

    @SombraHunter Yep they killed the team/studio who was behind the new and really good Tony hawk game and the crash reboot (canceling Tony Hawk 6 and the next Spyro game) to have them work in Blizzard for Overwatch 2

  • shutyour_ojos Wheelchair Raccoon (@shutyour_ojos) reported

    Imagine you get to work on good games like crash spyro and tony hawk then they move you to work on overwatch 2 yikes

  • garthdude3 Nathan | BLM (@garthdude3) reported

    @SadBoyBarrett THPS didn’t sell the way they wanted, and Crash 4 didn’t deliver like the trilogy. Activision tried, and it didn’t get the numbers they want. Sucks, but I’d rather them have job stability and help with two hyped games (Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4)

  • TheDarkFox66 🦊John Fox 🦊 (@TheDarkFox66) reported

    @DestinationMarc @CrashyNews necessarily a new crash or a cross overwatch x bandicoot crash? 🤔

  • ChillysChili 📺 Chilly 📺 (@ChillysChili) reported

    @DroseAttack @DanSyronArt No, the developers of the Crash remakes and the recent tony hawk games are now going to be working with blizzard to help develop existing blizzard titles, so most likely OW 2. There hasn't been new content in ages cause Blizzard focused all attention on Overwatch 2 and starved us

  • bigshowttv BIGSHOW (@bigshowttv) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @Sticc_L They're whining because Vicarious Visions (Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2, Crash Bandicoot) was just bought up by Blizzard to be "fully dedicated" to Overwatch 2. And knowing how overly melodramatic the internet gets, they're all pissing and moaning..

  • SirSquirrelz Brandon Or Squirrelz |🐿 (@SirSquirrelz) reported

    Sorry if you like Diablo and Overwatch or WoW or whatever Blizzard does. I’m sure they make tons more money than Crash and Tony Hawk games do but **** this

  • CatBitOfficial Bros. CatBit 4 (COMM. Open) (@CatBitOfficial) reported

    Without these guys, we would've never seen the likes of Crash Bandicoot ever again with the N Sane Trilogy and for as annoying as some bits were, their Tony Hawk remake was nothing short but phenomenal; it sucks that they're now only gonna be making WOW and Overwatch assets

  • RineYFD Rine #BlackLivesMatter (@RineYFD) reported

    So we cancelled Crash and Spyro for Overwatch huh? OKAY THAT MAKES SENSE

  • BreedableFox Ashfall 💕 (@BreedableFox) reported

    I... blizzard.. i want to love overwatch 2. I do love overwatch.. But having vv swap is concerning. No more new crash? No new spyro? Toys for bob i hope will still be able to carry these.

  • baylaust baylaust (@baylaust) reported

    Vicarious Visions arguably saved the Crash Bandicoot series with their handling of the Remastered Trilogy. They arguably saved the Tony Hawk franchise with their remake of THPS 1+2. They deserved so much better than being swallowed by Blizzard and sent to the Overwatch pits.

  • DAKOTA007Tv 🌲KapitanDAKOTASASQUATCH007 (@DAKOTA007Tv) reported

    We witnessed the death of the destiny franchise, crash franchise and the thps franchise....wtf are you doing @Activision blizzard is not gonna make these games they don't care unless the game is called "overwatch" "battlefield" Such a **** day and now MTX are gonna be more heavy

  • Born2beSlicker Mark Lawson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 Wear a Mask (@Born2beSlicker) reported

    “Hey, congrats on the success of Crash Trilogy and THPS 1+2! We’re going to stick you into Overwatch support”! “For how long”? “I’m sorry, did I give the impression it was temporary”?!

  • _justcallmezach zach ⭐ (@_justcallmezach) reported

    @palatinik @kinganiii i mean, overwatch has updates like "so we added another character that's gonna be broken on launch" so if it has no updates at least it avoids **** updates

  • kylogyr0 johnny (@kylogyr0) reported

    so what you’re saying is that activision sold off one of their biggest studios, the one that literally revived crash and thps, and now they’re most likely just stuck working on overwatch 2 now? what the hell man.

  • DeathwingDuck Deathwing Duck (@DeathwingDuck) reported

    The studio that made critically acclaimed remakes of Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk 1 and 2... Is now dedicated solely to Blizzard IPs like overwatch or warcraft. Why does Activision continue to be completely out of touch?

  • DigDougXD Doug | DigDougXD (@DigDougXD) reported

    @wootton120 @PlasmWraithJake Yeah its Activision that owns Crash i believe so that should be fine. Its just now VV only assist Blizzard in whatever they are doing (Overwatch most likely) rather than being able to make their own games.

  • StarLightPL StarLight (@StarLightPL) reported

    @VRGameRankings It's like a question "why do cinema goers give two shits about theater". VR and flat are different gaming mediums. Sometimes I don't want to don the headset, make space etc., I just want to pop a few heads in Overwatch and crash to bed :-)

  • InternetSlug Extremely rare fully unobscured Wizard Toad (@InternetSlug) reported

    glad that the company behind the crash bandicoot and tony hawk remakes got killed for overwatch 2

  • ZweiHawke ZweiHawke, Ruinous Effigy (@ZweiHawke) reported

    Interesting development with vicarious visions. Shame it's not going to fix the problems with overwatch and hearthstone as games, that's on the design aspect.

  • TripleKyun Triple-Q (@TripleKyun) reported

    Whenever Overwatch reveals new lore like a new character or what relationship an existing character has, you are now legally allowed to say "Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk died for this"

  • Mjolyyy_ 🦖Mjölnir🦖 Antifaschistiche (@Mjolyyy_) reported

    @Nest_Dweller Crash for overwatch?

  • NeonManta NeonManta (@NeonManta) reported

    Yes I know Toys for Bob handled the Spyro Trilogy not Vicarious Visions but c’mon. If Activision looked at the success of the Crash Trilogy and Tony Hawk remake and said “you work on Overwatch now,” ya really think the success of the Spyro Trilogy and Crash 4 will dissuade them?

  • daymon__ LIVE🔴 | daymon (@daymon__) reported

    imagine being the studio that revived 2 dead franchises in crash and tony hawk’s only to be sidelined to work on world of warcraft and overwatch 2

  • AvelineMelena Aveline 🔞 (@AvelineMelena) reported

    @TripleKyun New character, Not-Crash bandicoot for Overwatch 2.

  • AvataryayaTV Ishigami Yaya | avataryaya (@AvataryayaTV) reported

    Overwatch 2 better play like Crash Bandicoot 5 or something

  • TripleKyun Triple-Q (@TripleKyun) reported

    God this pisses me off a lot personally because Vicarious Visions were bar none the BEST studio at making Crash games. They had the level design philosophy down to a T. And now those same devs have to help make Overwatch characters kiss or some ****. What a ******* joke.

  • MoonNonaOG Moon (@MoonNonaOG) reported

    Alright activision that was a shitty move... The crash reboot was done perfectly and to completly merge that team into blizzard and basically just have them working on overwatch 2 as extras. **** if I was apart of that dev team I'd quite.

  • overdrivev332 overdrive (@overdrivev332) reported

    Today’s horrible news: vicarous was merged into blizzard and is making overwatch 2 I guess(they made the new tony hawk remake and the crash bandicoot remasterand Xbox increase it’s gold price which is gonna **** them up in the long run
