Gigantic: Rampage Edition

An absolutely vile use of an IP for no reason other than just wondering if you could make a quick buck re-using those assets you're too lazy to actually use for anything. Almost NOTHING was changed from the original release other than skins, I guess??? And immediately after said skins, they stopped updating - for a live-service game you have to pay money to get into. Give me a break.

Not a day goes by that I don't mourn the loss of this game and the incredible potential it had. We miss you, Gigantic. I hope one day you get the devs you deserved

This game is hilarious. They ♥♥♥♥♥♥ scammed everyone AGAIN LOL

[b]Gigantic[/b] was originally released in 2017, and like many online games, it failed to attract a large enough playerbase to be sustainable and was quickly shut down. It was a game with a lot of love and passion behind it, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough. Gigantic was fairly niche, and while it had a high amount of skill expression, most matches would eventually devolve into mindless brawling. imo the main mode was simply underbaked. If Motiga had more time I have no doubt they could have polished it into something genuinely wonderful. So this is great news, they got a second chance right? Not quite, Gearbox (Arc Games) got the IP rights and essentially brought the game back as it was, hoping to make some quick money from it. this is a re-release with very few additions, most of them were already in the original game but cut or never released A contractor (abstraction Games) was brought in to clean things up and get the re-release out the door, and that was basically it. There was no real marketing, no continued development, no balance patches, no bug fixes, no new content. The game was simply released and abandoned [b]online games don't really work like this anymore.[/b] Games like Fortnite have completely changed player expectations. People expect live-service games with endless content, events, balance changes, battlepasses, and of course, free to play, so the general public didn't bother to check this, but what about the passionate gigantic fans? what they got was A buggy game with broken matchmaking and server issues, somehow more broken than the 2017 version, which was made by a studio that was bankrupt for much of its development. If Gigantic struggled to survive in the online-game market of 2017, [b][i]Gigantic: Rampage Edition[/i][/b] had virtually no chance in 2024. The small player-base plummeted and as you can see this game doesn't have players anymore, besides a few passionate people that organize matches on their own using discord servers so they can still play it. The sad part is that the original developers aren't making money from this re-release either, so I can't even feel good that i wasted 20 bucks on this. Gigantic will always be a game that's close to my heart. It had a lot of potential, and you can feel the passion that went into it. But it never really got the chance to become what it could have been. It died before it could live.

Sadly there's no one to play this anymore

They "revived" the game by turning the servers on again and adding 2 characters. This was this was 2 years ago - since then there has been no update, nothing, just releasing on other platforms. I regret buying the game a second time.

It may be rose tinted glasses, it might be the wonderful artstyle, but I used to really like this game. But the new release was terrible and, if not for a couple of character to experiment with, it would have been the same as it was shut down. The warning signs were already there, but the first update being a cosmetics instead of balance... it just leaves a bitter taste to the whole thing. I missed you Gigantic, I can't say I'm glad you're back.
