Each of the characters in Overwatch have instantly recognizable voices, and Tracer is no exception. English actress Cara Theobold was hired to give Tracer her signature peppy tones and, judging from the character's popularity, she did a fantastic job. When the voice cast list was released, fans scrambled to find the actors' previous work, and it turns out that Cara's first acting job was a recurring role as a kitchen maid in the hugely popular British period drama series, Downton Abb

Dragon Age: Inquisition was the game that would hopefully right the wrongs o f Dragon Age 2 and its much-criticized combat system. Unfortunately, the game didn't quite do that at launch and instead gave Dragon Age fans more to be angry ab
According to the developers, Tracer, Reaper, and Widowmaker were the initial three heroes worked on by the team, with Tracer being the first. Her design is all about speed, which is why her iconic look is inspired by both fighter pilots and track athletes. As the character was refined, the creative teams ended up liking Lena so much that she automatically became the game's "mascot" despite not being intended as one. Creative director Chris Metzen even likened her to a certain wall-crawler, saying that Tracer became a " Spider-Man type character" for them, saying "She's so rad, and it feels good to leverage her in the front of story ide
Bundle up for a journey to Ecopoint: Antarctica, the former Overwatch installation where climatologist Mei-Ling Zhou was once stationed. While researching severe weather anomalies in the region, the station was hit by an intense polar storm. Running out of options and low on supplies, the team decided to cryogenically freeze themselves until the storm passed. They believed that it would only be for a few months, but Mei awoke nearly a decade la
As an open world game, some issues were expected but many players agreed that these were unacceptable. Plus, they were following on from other Unity controversies including its lack of playable female characters, a decreased framerate on consoles, and Ubisoft's decision to include microtransacti
SEASON 3 COMPETITIVE PLAY Competitive Play's second season will end on November 23 at 4PM PDT (November 24 at 0:00 UTC), and the third season will begin on November 30 at 4PM PDT (December 1 at 0:00 UTC). During the week-long off season, you'll still be able to queue for matches using the Competitive Play ruleset, but your skill rating will not be affected and no Competitive Points will be awarded. We've also made a few adjustments to the skill rating system for season 3. Players will be distributed more broadly across the skill tiers, which means that your season 3 rating will probably be lower than the previous sea
Rockstar did promise a (virtual) $500,000 stimulus package as an apology for the FPS game DLC's technical issues but given that players had been waiting almost a month for GTA Online to get it together, not everyone was willing to let the company off the h
A second gate no longer closes after the payload passes through the castle doors. Instead, rubble from the damaged doorway partially blocks the entrance.
Developer Comments: Once the offensive team gets through the castle entrance, the map becomes very heavily stacked in the defense’s favor. This change will give the offense more entrance options, which should improve the map’s overall bala
Critical hit volume reduced by 15%
Developer Comments: Winston's head hit volume was just abnormally big, making him take more damage than he otherwise should. This change brings it more in line with other her
Driveclub was hit with multiple delays before it was released in October 2014 and as a result it's easy to forget that the game originally announced as a PS4 launch title. So with almost 11 extra months in the oven, was Evolution's PS4 exclusive a hit? As a single player game, yes, it succeeded. The multiplayer component, however, was a complete trag
As millions of players tried to get online, the games servers were quickly overwhelmed. Many people couldn't log in, some couldn't even get to the character creation stage, and a few found issues with activities such as jobs and ra
Overwatch doesn't do storytelling in the traditional sense. The game has no campaign mode, but the origins and history of the heroes featured have been slowly revealed via comics, trailers and animated shorts. The Tracer Origin Story short was first shown at BlizzCon 2014 and gave fans their first taste of the game's unique way of spinning a y
Essentially an extension of the Custom Game mode, the Game Broswer enables you to adjust the settings on various modes, maps, and heroes to create a uniquely designed match. For example, if you want to remove the cooldown for McCree's Combat Roll, or increase the speed of Pharah's rockets, you can. Once you're happy with your settings, you'll need to set up permissions. You can limit the people who can join your game through various options, or set your server to "Public," unleashing your creation to dairy farmers in Slovenia to Karate Teachers in Florida. You can read more about the new feature here , or watch the video below for a slightly less revealing, but still effective, overv
