How are you gonna make an FPS?' It's just sort of funny. How are you gonna make an MMO?' Then we're working Overwatch, and then when we shoot Overwatch, it's like, 'Well, you guys are the MMO company. 'I was working on World of Warcraft originally, when WoW was shipped,' Goodman said, 'and I remember the questions then in a lot of interviews were like, 'Well, you guys are like a RTS company. But could that ever lead to something more? During his presentation, Overwatch lead designer Geoff Goodman called Doomfist, with his unique, melee-focused combat, an 'ode to the fighting genre,' and the concept art for the character was a direct homage to fighting game art. The after-panel discussion also turned to other topics that were only briefly touched on in the presentation, like the possibility of a Blizzard fighting game. While that doesn't rule out the possibility of Crews taking on another role in the future, it does explain why he might not have been the best fit for what Blizzard has planned with Doomfist. That's Doomfist.'' Chu particularly praised the number of 'flavors' Sahr is able to bring to the role, and Sahr's ability to, '.bring all these different aspects of the character to life.

Once we heard his voice, it was like, 'Holy crap. When we were early in the audition process, we heard Sahr, who's the actor who plays Doomfist, and he just blew us away immediately. But when we were looking for Doomfist, we were looking for something very specific given his role in the game and everything. Blizzard senior designer Michael Chu explained, 'We love Terry. So, during our follow-up conversation, we asked Blizzard's devs why, after so much hype, Crews didn't end up as Doomfist.

But the part ended up going to veteran actor and director Sahr Ngaujah.Ĭrews is still front of mind for many fans, and although he didn't come up during the Q&A portion of the panel, his name was yelled out more than once by a few members of the audience. Crews talked about visiting Blizzard, he put out a public audition tape for the role, and he even got Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's endorsement. Terry Crews is a bombastic, larger-than-life figure, and just one month ago it seemed like a foregone conclusion that he would voice the one Blizzard character with a name to out-badass Garrosh Hellscream.

But one important question was left hanging after the panel: Why didn't Terry Crews end up voicing the long-teased character? The devs even devoted an entire panel to discussing how Doomfist was created. Blizzard recently pushed the character out to the test realm on PC, and the company sponsored the first-ever Doomfist cosplay with an elaborate, incredibly impressive costume.

Hearthstone led an ice cream social with visits from the Lich King and Jessica Nigri and the Blizzard merch booth was full of new stuff ( like that $450 D.Va statue), but it was Doomfist who grabbed the most attention. Overwatch, and Blizzard in general, had a huge presence at this year's Comic-Con.
