Small Beginnings: Gigantic's Alpha is underway

Plzz take it to other regions like asia plzzzzzzz

They shouldn't label this as a MOBA, when someone say MOBA when think LOL, DOTA, SMITE, ect. This game really doesn't look anything like a MOBA and labeling it as that would bring it a negative first impression. The game is kinda more like Gunz and S4 League but with an more ActionRPG oriented gameplay.

I think the general opinion of what constitutes a MOBA is becoming more and more ambiguous every day.

First I would like to point out that Motiga doesn't really like calling Gigantic a "MOBA". And to be honest, I can understand why. From what I could see, there's no minions, there are no lanes, there's no shop with a bunch of items, and there's no towers/inhibitors/ancients/etc. Those 4 aspects alone make up a large part of what makes a MOBA a MOBA. So if the game is lacking those 4, what does else does it have? Well, a roster of different "heroes" to choose from, and gameplay which consists of two teams of 5 fighting each other.

So, is the definition of a MOBA now merely "a game where people pick different characters and then battle it out 5v5"? If that's the case then we need to start calling Call of Duty a MOBA. You get to choose from different types of weapons and classes, and have the option of making each team only have 5 players that fight it out. So if you wouldn't call CoD a MOBA you shouldn't be calling Gigantic one.

I think we need to remember which games actually made "MOBA" a genre in the first place, and base our definition of what a MOBA is on that. Those games were DotA, HoN and LoL. In all three of those games, they all had the same common features: 2 teams, 5 characters, 3 lanes, minions that spawned, a jungle, farming, killing a powerful creature located in the middle of the map for an advantage, and of course the main objective of destroying your enemies towers/turrets and finally their nexus/ancient. THAT's what a MOBA game is. You pick a character, you destroy minions, enemies and towers for gold, you level up and buy items to become stronger, and you cooperate with your team to siege the enemy's base.

This game looks more like Team Fortress 2 than Dota 2, League or HoN. So once again, if you're not calling TF2 a MOBA, why are you calling Gigantic one? BTW, this isn't a post directed toward Spunkify but rather the comments where people were calling it a MOBA. I know why Spunk called it a MOBA ( he had to list Gigantic under one of the categories listed on the site, and MOBA is the closest thing that describes it that we have ).

I stopped reading at "MOBA".

Stop saying "similar" this game is going to be in one of the MOBA giants LOL SMITE and DOTA2, with this kind of gameplay that no one else thought of its a mixture of MOBA and FPS 3rd person in which is for me much more fun than doing Lane's once your GIANT moves big difference in battlefield. Waiting for this hoping to get Alpha test asap!
