Gigantic - The next SMNC?

www.gogigantic.com

Looks pretty interesting to me.

Looks to be in the same vein as SMNC/Forge/Smashmuck Champions/Minimum.

All games whose concept and gameplay I am in love with. Pretty hyped but sad that I can't play this immediately.

wow.. I haven't felt excited for a game in a while

combat looks a little too bullet spongey for my current taste, very similar to smnc though

At least in that video, he didn't upgrade any of the passive slots, so he's probably missing out on a decent chunk of weapon damage.

The amount of utility each of the abilities gains over time is so cool. I'm way too excited about this.

The bullet spongey combat is exactly why I still haven't moved on from SMNC. There just simply aren't any shooters with high average TTK.

yeah, I'm not knocking it for that. Loving the windwaker look too

The insane physics that affect movement is what keeps me, but I really like this too. My interest in Minimum decreased slightly after I started running the instakill loadouts.

Dang. That looks like a lot of fun. I'm definitely gonna have to look into that one further.

TTK looks a fair amount higher than SMNC; similar, but maybe veering too much on spongey? SMNC always fels spongey but that you were doing "just enough" damage.
Aside from that, art style is neat but I'm not immediately hooked in the same way.

I'm excited now. Thanks for posting. If you or anyone gets into alpha and gets keys, sign me up!

Anyone get in yet? I may or may not have got in, and it may or may not be a ton of fun.

Sadly, nope...

Also, you may or may not have broken their ridiculously over secure NDA...

Haha what the hell. What's the point of not allowing people to tell others that they got the alpha access?

Yea, I was really wanting to record. I still wonder if I'm allowed to record but wait until after the NDA is gone to post it. That is assuming I have access...

I don't know, it's really fucking dumb. And incase it wasn't clear, I really don't have alpha access yet. Only know about that rule because the most awful people on their reddit like to remind everyone

I know MW:O did the same for their alpha/beta NDA

Well that will be the extent of what I say...unfortunately. If I were to have access, I wouldn't want to play with random people.

Apparently European audience may or may not get their hands on the alpha on December 17th.

Stupid thanksgiving made me miss this week's testing. Or maybe it didn't.

Sounds overprotective not to open test too much to end up like Uber.

Which is only a thing because of whiney players. This is why we cant have nice things like kickstarter and open beta anymore.

Stupid hamster brained mainstream...
