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!

Wondered if Smite would be 4K on the Xbox One X, thank you for confirming. GET IN

[Virtualgoddessv]

Watch me have to repurchase everything I bought cause of low-Rez.

[DrumBeat]

I didn't know this was something I should have worried about, but I'm glad I don't have to now.

[zackmarsh]

Dumb question, but will the data from the Xbox One save transfer over to the X? That's my only concern.

[benward]

Not gonna have time to play this when Minecraft 4K comes out

[eltocatimbres]

Really glad of that 60fps improvement. 45 looks choppy

[Foozno]

Achilles and Leonidas hero gods when? they are like hercules.

[jarrellidk]

The fact that that bellona didn't kill the hunbatz at 0:16 is sickening 😐

[yahelrodriguez]

como puedo pasar mi cuenta de ps4 a xbox?

[golfer]

Wow, Hi Rez, you managed to get that is already on Xbox One onto Xbox One X, the day it comes out. Why did you announce in a 32 second video?

[dillon]

Now Hou Yi's ultimate won't look awful.

[tokealot]

everything that's on XboxOne already is available Day One on XboxOneX

[vahporn]

No Thor ultimate? Sad days for hi Rez production videos.

[PrinceDanny]

Paladins has more YT subs and getting more viewers then this one that's insane!

[boumshakalaka]

It's time to feed in 4K, yes why not

[LegacyGameFreak]

Hell yeah I'll definetly be playing day one!!!

[CTKrunch]

Smites been on Xbox one way before this video

[DarkSkinDoffy]

Really? Day One? I mean it's not like the Xbox One and the Xbox One X are using the same store or something. It's not like they literally said that every game you have on Xbox One can be played on the Xbox One X or anything. This video was redundant and didn't need to be uploaded.

*sarcasm protocol concluded*

[gearchief]

people are saying 500 for one it's not like it's a complete new console. it isn't like switching from 360 to the one. it's literally just a better version of the one. it will play with all the games on the one and with people on the x box one.
