I get what they were going for but i think it's way too busy. The main melody almost clashes with the new harmony they added. The mix definitely needs more work with this one. Also perhaps the composition too.
You know what would be a good idea? If they make variations of this theme for every Hero, like for example for a Reaper POTG, the theme should have a sinister tone that represents the overall character, or Junkrat where the theme plays in a exaggerated manner that symbolizes both his goofy and unhinged nature.
I want to pick between different potg themes so when your potg appears everyone listens the one you have. There could be epic and legendary themes for each hero. I want s metal version for roadhog
How the hell is nobody talking about the tritone at 0:25 between the horns and the strings? Every time I hear it it gives me chills. Amazing job, Blizzard
if you watch the older overwatch videos and trailers you'd notice this is actually the original version of POTG, while the one in OW1 is a less "heroic" version of it!
I think it sounds awesome, but definitely more villainous. Maybe this could be used for Talon characters, while the heroes get something more similar to the original
I don't understand why people are so turned off by this variation of the theme. I think it represents the tension of the ongoing struggle, which is promptly followed by the intended resolution. Those moments where the strings really brings tension is to further highlight the resolution that comes immediately after in every chord.
In a stylistic way, it reminds me of the compositions of Hans Zimmer, which they could've drawn influence from with this iteration. Big swelling strings playing a tense countermelody to what is taking place in the brass, it's unique and tasteful. Not everything can simply resolve to the simple "Great job, you saved the day!" and have that go behind a character like Talon's MOIRA DPS'ing down the entire enemy team instead of healing. It's more fitting and uniform to whoever takes it.
Besides, I'm tired of hearing A min, F Maj 7, D Maj, F Maj, F to G Maj. The strings countermelody makes it interesting, and it transforms it into something that reflects the ongoing conflict. Now it's just as colorful as the rest of the game that's to come out. And for all the fellow music nerds, it comes out to this. A min Maj 7 (resolves to A min), F Maj 7 b5 (resolves to F Maj 7), the spicy D Maj b5 (resolves to D Maj), F Maj b5 (resolves to F Maj), F Maj b5 to G Maj to send it back out to the D min drone.
The music of the first one was more of "Hey, remember when I used to crush omics with my glorious hair? Yeah, good times." The music of the second one is more of "Good job team, but it's not done yet. Get ready for the next one."
Don't get me wrong, this is FANTASTIC…but do I really want a more sinister-sounding version to replace the triumphant, heroic version we've grown to love?
Is this official?
i don't know why, but this made me happy

Yer it’s not as good as the original

This should be played if the enemy gets play of the game

To be honest, im not veary keen on about new line of tritones. It just dosen't fit for me.

I love it! Gives me goosebumps
I think this one is a bit too much.
Not hating, I just think the first one was better
So this sounds like they’re pushing the message that people who go out of their way to get POTG are just trying to be this ultra killing machine
This takes on a more serious tone than the other one, I think Overwatch 2 will generally be a bit darker than than the first game
this sound exactly like i song iv herd befor not the overwatch part but the more omanice part anyoneknow what im talking about because i cant remeber
