Where can you sign up for the beta exactly?
I found the tab on the right, logged my epic account, and then? I am just auto entered or something?

This is exactly what I had in mind when I said:
Really looking forward to getting hands on to see how it plays.

Someone got a pic of Steel by the CMs
I think so, yes. Make sure to choosing something for the 5 heroes.

Yeah, the trailer is a demo for their new in-engine cinematic tool called Sequencer coming to UE4 very soon.

OK, did that. Picked out their "equipment"
*casually wonders about the amount of rule34 people will make with it*

You can really tell that Epic have their own artstyle here that's shared among most of their titles (from UT'04 upwards). All that Hard surface modelling and beefy armored dudes and slender powerful women.
Where's my playable Skaarj, already?

The image you posted doesn't allow remote linking apparently, you should rehost it.
(Also, it looks fantastic. I already know which character I'm going to try

Looks great but not really into moba.
We talking source filmmaker here or something else?
The 3rd person action MOBA land is still kinda sparse. Just like Smite this game won't be in direct competition to Dota 2 or LoL.
They have not yet clarified, but basically I think it's replacing Matinee as the cinematic creation tool for developers.
Matinee was pretty well received though overall, so presumably this is quite good if they're dumping that.

Wait you have to sign up for the beta? I thought it was an open beta.
I think you can sign up to get in to an earlier PC beta preceding that, but I'm not clear.
Ah, I figured. Thanks.
Arena shooters aren't all that popular. They're currently trying to help bring them back with Unreal Tournament 4.
wouldn't really make sense to have to games of the same genre with just a different perspective

This looks so good and I absolutely adore the art style, very different from all the other MOBAs
What? The art style is fantastic, and the silhouettes of all the characters revealed so far are in fact easy to distinguish.

Definitely looks like it has potential. It's gonna be interesting to see early access impressions.

So holy shit this looks awesome. I don't even normally care about MOBAs but I'll play this.
I feel the opposite. All the characters announced so far look pretty different.
-avg build guy with two guns
-XXL Beefcake guy with shield
-avg build woman with bow and arrow
-skinny hunched lady with two swords
-big guy with one big gun
-short rhino humanoid with club
-avg build woman with wings and staff(wonder if she is healer)
-floating guy with robes
-mech with wierd bulky limbs (looks like Edge of tomorrow mech)
colors are very muted however which might cause problems
here is 5 standing next to each other. very easy to tell them apart

Shoudla just used this at PSX. UE4 looks so damn good.
Not every MOBA is trying to be like LoL or Dota. Problem is using that term automatically puts you in that bracket sadly.

what's worse is having hero powers somehow makes you a moba.
This game shares almost nothing in common with Overwatch outside of that and yet people are already complaining that it's like Overwatch
Silhouettes are important also you can see that in dota 2 between each hero you can see the difference and the gameplay reveal really didn't show it in paragon tons of details but silhouettes make the hero's pop out.

I like the look, but Overwatch has it's hooks in me.
I actually really liked how honest and upfront they were with being a MOBA unlike some other games that are MOBAs but pretend otherwise. They are not trying to hoodwink anyone. It has lanes, minions, towers and base destruction. If anything people need to get over MOBAs being some leprous genre to avoid.
Honestly to the untrained eye Dota 2 heroes are very difficult to distinguish especially in a hectic team fight. With a third person view characters are bigger on screen and after some amount of playtime it should be easy to distinguish them.

Everyone saying this looks amazing/different...
Maybe I need new glasses. To me it looks like they took the very cliche "Gears of War" style of characters (completely with huge oversized bodies) and the very drab and "gritty gray and browns" color scheme.
I'd love to have seen something a bit more different, you can use colors without making it "cartoony" and to me having huge over-sized characters IS cartoony.
