Gigantic: A Beautiful Failure | The MOBA That Never Made It
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- Gigantic, a 5v5 third-person hero shooter developed by Motiga, was an outstanding gem of a game that was severely overlooked by the gaming community. Gigantic may not have survived the harsh standards of the modern gaming industry, but it is simply too special to ever be forgotten. To this day, I haven't found a single multiplayer game that has been able to match its crazy combat & soulful charm. And we're going to talk about it.

13:15 - Discussing Gigantic's Death
wow i can't believe Gearbox decided to revive gigantic after watching my dinky video!
jokes aside, I'm rightfully pissing and shitting at the potential revival of one of my favorite games.
(a game dev studio called Gearbox just did an invite-only Gigantic playtest weekend - it was kind of out of nowhere - but there's not really a reason they'd do this unless they were trying to bring the game back)
The only reservation i have is that I haven't heard anything about the ex-Motiga employees being involved in the relaunch yet - and I would really want them to be a part of it since this game is their passion project.
I also just wanna give a big thank you to everyone who watched this - I'm still in the process of figuring out my direction as a Contenter, but I'm very proud of this video in particular, so I'm glad people are enjoying it.
Manifesting a huge success for the relaunch of Gigantic! 🥳
I always play tanks and avoid overly feminine characters. That said, Gigantic is the exception because I was a Xenobia main. She has such a vast array of ways to disrupt and attack while also helping your teammates. Incredible on any team fight. I love her confidence and competence. I wish I still had my old Xenobiaphobia Xbox account.
i think the reason we haven't heard anything bout motiga is that they're officially dissolved--former motigans have been commenting on the situation a bunch though, even though they haven't been personally involved in whatever development may be happening. However, if they *are* reviving the game, and playing the hand so close to the chest, former motigans may just not be able to talk about their involvement.
we shall see!
Are you shitting me? Is this real? If you're shitting me, I'm going to be mad. Holy shit, I haven't played Tripp in I don't know how long. Welp, time to practice executing Mozu's that don't know how to police their cooldowns.
@@lexedmonds9075 I look forward to "booping" you out of melee range with my Xenobia's wave of sorrow ability. Followed by planting a mark of despair pool on the ground which slows enemies all while using my gaze of envy to steal health from my opponents. I had to be careful as a Xenobia player because a patient Tripp would obliterate me if I was ever caught out with low stamina.
You're never gonna believe this
they announced a closed beta weekend for this game this weekend lmao
ARE U FR??
What do you mean???
IT'S BACK? HOLLY SH-
I got an email invite to the open beta weekend as I played a fair bit when the game originally launched. Unfortunately I was busy and away from my PC that weekend so I didn't get to participate.
Hopefully the game is set to be necro'd and re-released at sometime not to far into the future as it really was a good game that just didn't get the traction (Get on Steam dammit) it needed and deserved.
I really hope that the playtest went well!
Update: As of Feb 16, you can suddenly update the game to the "Rampage Edition". Yeah, this game actually be coming back.
You called it !
I gotta get in touch with an old highschool friend then. He loved it and wanted to play it with me, but by the time I got a PC that could run it, it was shut down
And now, Gigantic is back !
Overwatch's release was truly a curse upon the gaming world forever. It paved over so many other interesting games and forever shaped multiplayer games going forward (not in a good way). I'll never forgive it for killing games like Gigantic and Battleborne.
Neither will I. I like OW, but I want to see it put in the grave. Also, Gigantic is being revived on april 9th! Gearbox is doing it too! Help make Gigantic a success this time around, maybe we'll see #Battleborn in the future!
@@HeWhoSoars.yooo is this for real? April 2024?
Jesus, battleborne. That really was something.
@secretname2670 it was my all time favorite multiplayer game. Can't even play the story because gearbox decided on dedicated servers. Really hope it comes back
@@secretname2670 I wish you the best of luck. Video game development is not easy. But it seems very rewarding. Hope you're successful!
Analyzing why games succeed or fail is fascinating. There many factors that go into it that don't involve quality or originality.
Every now and then I go down a gigantic rabbit hole, this video helps a bit to fill that longing. It was disheartening when I heard the game shut down and I wish I could go back in time to just play it again. If the game were to make a return or even revamped in today's time it would bring in old and new players from other games. Gigantic was that breath of fresh air from other games. Now I find myself wishing it could replace a game like overwatch or paladins
did you received the email?? They will open a special day for players to play
@@VideoGirl. The day unfornutately passed and I found out too late through the subreddit. I'm so glad that others got to play and even experience it, but no I didn't get an email about it
april 9th
@@Spriktor I KNOW, I WAS IN THE DISCORD WHEN IT GOT ANNOUNCED
This is an incredible video. More people deserve to see this. Thank you for bringing some light to a game that couldn't make it.
It's got a second chance!!! Buy the game april 9th for a mere 20 dollars and it could have a second chance at greatness!!!
It's back!
This game is coming back!!! Also gonna subb
ITS BACKKKK
It's back baby! Hopefully! In april Rampage Edition is coming out! Return of the king!
I never thought about the intentions behind Imani's hit box! You talked about the developers passion and the soul in this game. I've never played a game where is was so blatantly obvious that the team working on it had a culture of passion and care behind their game. Gigantic's characters have my favorite animations in any game. Griselma wouldn't exist in any other game and if she did I wouldn't ever play a character like her. In Gigantic Griselma is an old lady who is supposed to have the same sprint speed as an assassin frog or a fleet footed deer fox thing. How does Gigantic pull this off? By having her turn her hand staff upside down and letting the hand crawl on the ground for her! It's one of those things that I can't explain how fun it is to play and you'd have to try it for yourself. Every character has a memorable and instantly recognizable silhouette. I'll stop gushing over the incredible work done but it breaks my heart that Microsoft never put this on gamepass. If gamepass was a thing 5 years ago then we might be living in a world where Gigantic could have been propped up long enough to grow into a fully supported game with a dedicated fan base.
Gearbox is bringing Gigantic back on April 9th!!!!
WE ARE SO BACK
The animations in this game are fantastic. Excited it's coming back.
Fantasy weapons:
Daggers
huh?
Oh hey, I remember this game. I got a new computer and since I'd gotten it from outside of steam I'd forgotten to get it again, sadly...
I never heard of this game - definitely has Battleborn vibes - wish I got to play it. Multiplayer games (especially F2P) need a 'critical mass' of players - which means they often need a big marketing to get people into game. Most multiplayer games have that big spike in players at launch, and trail off - creating further peaks with updates is often the goal.
But Overwatch killed Battleborn too. It's that annoying thing of more players = even more players, 100% agree with that analysis.
Funny you should say that because now it appears Gearbox may be trying their hand at Gigantic
YIPEE GIGANTIC REVIVAL
i was a mozu main, get that ramp up in dmg aftar surprise jumping on ppl is so fun. gigantic is the only moba game ive played. i hope one day it can be revived. also team snake, "so much... power? time to attack." it always sounded like he was questioning it, that how it sounded to me and my brothers.
...oh, it is coming back. pls stay for good.
Gigantic's story is twice as sad when you realize it was made by a lot of people who worked on Dawngate before EA shuttered once of the best games & studio they ever had.
That sad story might have a happy ending, it's coming back in April, aganist all odds.
Mozu was my main. This game was awesome 😭
Aisling is my FAVORITE character design in any game of all time. Such a fun and interactive playstyle
probably one of the most overlooked and underrated games ive ever played. good video and hopefully one day this game will get revived.
It's coming back April 9th!!!
The reboot is out for four days. Saw it on steam and thought about your review.
I FOUND THIS VIDEO AGAIN TO TELL YOU IT'S BACK REEEESPOND🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!
i miss gigantic im so pumped its coming back!
also aisling is my fave lol
It’s not coming back. Just a brief 3 day weekend, and then it’s gone for good again. Hardly what I’d call “coming back”
@hazardous8301 you were wrong🙃 April 9th gearbox is bringing it back!!!
Aisling was also my favorite character. Can't wait to play her again!!!
Holy fuck awesomenauts mentioned! Played it back on PS4 but knew no one else who did sadly. Amazing game :(
Honestly glad i got to play this game in my childhood, the characters are really cool, the world is amazing and the gameplay i really like. the only regret i have is not playing this game more before it got shut down.
Well now you can play it more starting April 9th!!!
@@HeWhoSoars. Looked it up after seeing this and yeah i can´t fucking believe it´s actually coming back, shed a tear lol and im hella excited. Thanks for telling me
Such a shame that it didn't at least stay as a offline singleplayer (vs bots) game... I'd gladly just spam simple games against basic bots.
Regarding the low amount of players, I mean, it was ultimately a niche release with little marketing that came out after Overwatch. Plebs didn't know about it or if they saw it they thought it was an OW "clone".
Oh, RIP Dawngate as well.
I miss Gigantic so much :c
It's coming back in April.
Every day i yearn for this games return
It's coming back on April 9th!!!
I didn’t play a ton but one of my best plays was, I was getting chased by 2 enemies as Sven. I ran around a corner near the edge of the map and threw my bounce potion down. Enemies came around the corner and got bounced off the map to their deaths ha. The game was so fun but by the time I got into it, it was pretty dead.
Imagine playing Gigantic, Battlerite and Atlas Reactor...
Guess what, the game will be back on April 9th!
Dont call it soul just call it identity. Cause even passion is already tainted by AAA marketing speak.
A guevooooooooo volvio 😊😊
Evolve, lol
Neat concept, but that's all it was.
The most bare bones multiplayer game I can remember ever releasing, with absurdly priced DLC/ micro transactions.
Then they went on to release Back4Blood years later 😂
RIP Gigantic
Gigantic is done resting now!!! The game is being re released on April 9th!!!
@HeWhoSoars. Damn, it's really happening!!!, they really should ramp up the advertisement and media campaigns to let people know the game is coming back, I only heard about this now from you and I was quite the fan of the original game.
@AscendantStoic take it into our own hands! Go onto old videos like this, pick some comments, preferably ones no one has seen (I sort by the newest added.) Let people know! There is a dev diary too, I suggest you watch that too. It's only about 6 minutes long
@HeWhoSoars. Sure, will do 👍
What could had been the next Overwatch was abandoned and outshined by the likes of Paladins. Truly, this is the dark timeline. Aisling main by the way. What was yours?
Aisling is awesome. I bounced around a lot to different mains, but I think my favorite to play was Xenobia. Lots of cool skill paths
@@pastaghost_Xenobia! 💜
gigantic will make it this time i believe. i think it can be so great
anyone here heard of "Loadout"?
Gigantic was the only MOBA I was ever interested in playing and it shut down before release... Now might be coming back though, we'll see.
Hawken - shut down.
Atlas Reactor - shut down.
Overwatch - became shit.
ArcheBlade - abandoned by devs and mostly dead.
Crucible - cancelled.
Blacklight Retribution - became shit.
Seems like any multiplayer game I have interest in either dies or goes to shit, this is some kind of a curse...
you're not alone
they made the characters too hot
About Grizelda and Uncle Sven
Their designs are bad because young people (the target demographic of the game) don't want to play as old people. It tries too hard to be unique and original and ends up being unappealing.
I have a long list of games that move away from "young, pretty and fit" and they all flopped.
WE'RE SO BACK
This game honestly felt like it got purposfully sabotaged cause noway things fucked up as bad manage wise as they did if a human being handled it :(
I always said that it somehow reminds me of windwakers art style and i miss it :(
I never heard of this game I wish I had
You keep saying how original it is but the visual style and the characters design all feel generic in a way, can't say I dig it, might be the graphic style or something
Omg awesomenauts was a badass game
But it had so many hackers man
you can tell Charnok is true dragon and not a wyvern, because he has six limbs (two legs and wings/arms).
XDefiant is backed by ubisoft so maybe it will succeed but Ubisoft tried to break into the battleroyale genre with Hyper Scape and already gave up and shut those servers down.
BRO SAYS EVOLVE!!! ME GOTO HIS CHANNEL!!!! ME: FIND NO EVOLVE VIDEO!!! ME: UNSUBSCRIBES THEN RESUBSCRIBES BECAUSE EVOLVE VIDEO WHEN!!!!! :3
we need to bring back games like this lol its Seemi fix but it still toxic it needs more work.
i mean it does come back lol re release is in like 2 months
There is a chance gigantic will come back. Throw your wallet at it if it does. I know rhays what i will be doing
is this guy single asking for a friend
*cough* check the subreddit *cough cough*
Can Devs please stop making everything always online its much more sustainable there is no cost to keeping it on the market.
