This actually looks very promising. I still don't really know what a moba is though.

Looks good!
Games like Dota 2 or League of Legends. They originated from a custom map in Starcraft which was later adapted to the original Defense of the Ancients custom map in Warcraft III. The name MOBA was made up by League of Legends' developer to have a name for the genre other than Dota-like or something similar. Gigantic is actually really nonstandard as far as this type of game goes and from the looks of it seems to have more in common with the Onslaught mode from Unreal Tournament.
This game is only (very) loosely related to the typical MOBA genre

Did that dragon have an altered Godzilla roar? I cant tell if its an altered one from the 2014 movie, but that is definitely a Godzilla roar.

Oh, I'm loving the look.Very nice art style.
So "friendly" looking. Awesome.
I hope they can add some kind of competetive pvp rating to the XBO version, too. Should be very interesting then.

I think it's to specify they'll have certain features. So in other words, all "Windows 10" games will probably be cross buy, have cross play, and will likely support DX12. Those first two features probably won't be the case for any Steam versions (assuming the game is not exclusive to the Windows store). Plus they might be Win10 exclusive EDIT: They just confirmed on the stream, the final release will be Win10 exclusive.
MS isn't looking to rebrand ONLY PCs. MS thinks they are capable of making their software scalable such that you can easily port it to any device that has Windows 10.
I'm sure the reality will be vastly different because phones as powerful as they are are just too limited compared to a laptop and the same problems exist for embedded computers; but the intent is plain to see.

So I got a friend who got into the alpha, and she described it as a ton of fun - basically like a MOBA only you play it in 3rd person and there's a giant mob on each side.

It's useful to demarcate games that won't work on 8 and 7.

If done right - I think this game could be huge.

It isn't a MOBA. The influence is pretty small here, enough to call it action game with just some light touches of moba.

Yep.

Back on topic, does anyone know if MS is publishing this game cause during the announcement in Phil's GDC talk made it seem that way.

The curse of Torchlight continues. That curse being, you can have a generic and textureless world and characters that saves dev cost and still may have successful sales.
Have you been watching the Twitch streams etc of how they worked through the art style options and character/environment re-designs?
Man, whenever I scroll past that thread title I can't help but think of
The game has my attention though, the combat looks interesting and I'm really digging that art style.
I really got WW vibes when I saw this, everything down to the weapon bears a striking resemblance to moblins.

Very nice art style.
I think the art style works good from certain angles. Overhead views in particular. I know it falls apart when you can get up close to something though, such as the rock on the right when using lower resolution textures. Which is one of the great points of using this style from a production standpoint.

I attended the party last night at PAX. The team is genuine, pumped about their game, and love what they do. Community is also KEY to them. They had community coaches there all week who are community members from the alpha who were on hand to socialize and answer any questions.
The game is super competitive and super fun also.
Seriously can't wait

I do like how they do the Community Coach stuff. They seem to be doing the Community interaction thing really well. Hopefully the push for Win 10 and Xbox One will pay off for them in terms of popularity and getting a good community onboard.
