What is a MOBA?

Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, or MOBAs for short, originated as a sub-genre of the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre. Because of this, in most MOBA games, the player takes control of a single character from the isometric (top-down) view akin to most RTS games. Typically, in MOBA games, a player takes control of a single character on one of two teams. Those players choose characters that all have their own abilities, or “kits”. To win, the players must use a combination of abilities, teamwork, and strategy to not only best their opponent, but destroy the opponents main structures. A bonus to the genre is that most MOBAs are free games, which is definitely a contributing factor of the their massive success. The genre has many titles, the largest of which being Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) and DoTA 2, League of Legends (LoL), and most recently SMITE!

What is SMITE?

SMITE is one of the more recent free MOBA games to enter the fray. In SMITE you don’t just choose a character, you choose a god. You’ll instantly feel an attachment to characters like Thor and Zeus because even if you don’t know the lore behind them, you’ve at least heard their names before! What makes SMITE so immersive is Hi-Rez Studios’ inclusion of historical lore into the gods’ abilities, kits, and play styles. Thor and Loki aren’t just characters from Marvel comics and movies. They’re also a part of Norse mythology and you can take control of them in SMITE!

What makes SMITE different?

SMITE takes all of the strategy of the top MOBA games and adds another layer of difficulty by putting you into the action! Unlike most MOBA games, SMITE offers players the chance to experience the MOBA genre they know and love from a third-person perspective. This unique perspective allows for an extremely immersive experience unlike any other game in the genre. While this doesn’t sound like such a big change, once you play it you’ll understand! All of these things added together is what has gaming websites everywhere continually rating SMITE as one of the best MOBA games available!

Please more VGS!!! Hear our call! Thank you!

[soldarrien]

For the love of gods start telling us the exact date of patch releases

[katelynfiore]

Finally I've been waiting like a month to try out Skadi! 👏👏👏

[madmaxv]

loving the game so far, and 60fps?! HELL YEAH!

[koskosehecatl]

Released video early. Don't do that, people get confused or angry. A day before would've been ideal.

[nsalty]

Is PS4 getting the account merge at the time of the patch, or will that be a different date?

[masterdusty]

I checked their Twitter and they're aiming for the 18th for PS4 now

[gearhawk]

Yay! The patch is here. Sun Wukong got 20 more HP! What a buff! (That was in the actual patch notes as a buff for PC)

[losvaowl]

if you read the description it tells you when it's releases

[lkv]

omg console interface is so much better than pc

[ZekeAxel]

I hope the trophies on PS4 are retroactive, as I've gotten quite a few feats in.

[cmpunk]

Here's hoping there's a PS4 -> PC transfer, or at the very least a discount on PC. I haven't bought the 'Founder's Pack' yet, but I've strongly considered it, however if you're like me, you don't have a PC but you do see yourself eventually buying, and or building your own gaming PC. I enjoy Smite, and I'm definitely going to continue playing once I have a gaming PC, and having to buy practically the exact same thing twice, kinda sucks.

Also, Smite veterans, a question for you, are exclusive skins really exclusive? Or do they eventually come back so you can have a second chance of getting them? I feel like console players kinda were screwed out of certain skins because they were obtainable on PC. I really want that Void Wyrm KuKulkan.

[Lethalscott]

Will the Awilix Paradigm skin be available also?

[FrankThePope]

when the patch 3.5 comme to ps4 we are the 13 april no ?

[MCAKAJ]

Very very nice love to finally see 60fps on console.

[TheValcyria]

How much will the skins cost in the new "hades/robot" event? 400 or 600?

[AlexSmith-jugw]

How do you link ps4 account with pc? i have tried doing it to unlock nu wa water dancer and worlds collide odin but the website links on the community page arent working for me.

[corporealaegis]

Oh Hi-Rez you lovely people. Thanks for the updates, really. I just started this game on PS4 and it's an absolute blast to play.

[oneadaygaming]

So when is the pc account transfer option going to come?

[Aephyn]

You guys should really include a release date on these videos. It'd clear up a lot of confusion.
