Smite coming to Xbox One?!? Prepare your bodies, console peasants

 

 

Microsoft announced during its Gamescom press conference today that Smite, the PC multiplayer online battle arena game, is coming to Xbox One. This will be the MOBA’s first console release. Read the full article HERE: http://venturebeat.com/2014/08/12/pc-moba-smite-is-coming-to-xbox-one/

 

Controller support has been in Smite for a while, so hopefully this means cross-platform multiplayer is coming, too.

I doubt that we will see cross platform multiplayer, but it's a fun DOTA-style game and definitely works with a gamepad. And can we please stop using the term MOBA?

"hopefully" no i dont want a cocky 12 year old shouting down thier mic at me, 

 

Smite does not support Voice Chat on PC. You need to download a third-party application called Curse Voice in order to have voice overlay for the game.

This would only happen on consoles if they ditched Curse Voice and made their own voip system for the game, or if Curse ports Curse Voice to Xbox.

they would most likely implement voice chat since typing on a PC in the chat is easy and on an XBOX it's nearly impossible and really frustrating, so i guess they will implement voice chat.

The best thing for the community (and minimal moba toxicity) would be to have the VGS commands executable by Kinect voice commands for the Xbone players. Otherwise the peasants should Smite in silence imo

It's just the genre name...

 

ironic because most of them do not involve massive battle arenas. Just a bunch of lanes and terrible players.

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) -Wikipedia

 

Not massive, just multiplayer and everyone has to start somewhere.

People don't like using the term MOBA for 2 main reasons.

 

1.) Riot coined the term just so people would stop calling LoL a DOTA clone. (which isn't that big of a deal. For years FPS games were called doom clones)

 

2.) Calling a game a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena basically still describes almost every multiplayer game on the market. Whether it be CoD or Battlefield or nosgoth or tribes or w/e. All of those are multiplayer online games where you battle in an enclosed arena. 

 

People just think it's too vague of a classification and too many games fall under it. I think Gabe has began to use the term "ARTS" Action-Real time strategy. Which still is a bit off imo but better.

I think Action RTS is the closest thing, really. Doesn't make sense to call it something else.

 

But now that the whole industry uses the term "Moba" I guess we're stuck with it.

 

HiRez should just market Smite as a Third-Person Shooter and see how bad it puts Riot's panties in a twist.

Smite's gameplay allows controller to be used quite effectively. But mouse and keyboard FTW imo.

The PC version already supports controllers. I would not be surprised.
