Can we have an anthem thread? Hopes and fears? Personally I

>>380202258
If anybody had any doubts that what is left of bioware now is just the name, anthem cleared those doubts.

It's just another space shooter.

>>380202258
>pre-alpha reveal

Game won't look anything like what we saw once it hits retail. I wouldn't be surprised if it slips to Holiday 2018 / Q1 2019. "open" world looked like a series of half pipes rather than a real open world. Diving into the water was cool. Not really into the designs for the exosuits so far. Will keep an eye on it and wait to see some real hands on footage before deciding either way.

>>380203489
Is it though?
I mean I'm not blind, I see the similarities and influences, but I can't help but feel like flying around a jungle world in a suit of armour with some friends would make for a pretty comfy time

>>380203939
Would also not be surprised to see it pushed back. And yeah, the pipe thing does worry me a bit. I'd have liked to see them just fly straight out into open. Also noticed that they only flew straight ahead or down, never up. I'd just really love unrestricted movement.

>>380202258
its gonna be another destiny in my opinion.

im personally on the fence with this game rn, i want to see how independent journalists rate the game before i consider buying it.

>>380204464
Same also, I've learned my lesson with preordering and shit.
I don't see how this could be another Destiny though. I mean, it's not an mmo. How similar could they really be?

>>380204124
bioware made narrative driven rpgs with nice basic rpg mechanics, and they were good at it.
now they are just another generic dev that is chasing the next fashion.

as for the game itself, as >>380203939
pointed out, the trailer we saw was hevelily scripted and edited, and if you really thing about it, we saw no actual gameplay, just people pretending to play coop. It will be division all over again bu who cares, gamers are sheep and never learn or care anyways.

>>380202258
>I think it's pretty promising. It's the prime bioware dev team

>>380203939
I could believe this is actually what the game is meant to look like.

except the enemies died in one shot.

>>380206997
Bioware are known for recycling shit, especially game mechanics... thats not surprising

looks on-rails more or less. third person shooting always sucks and feels worthless, too.

really just the division in a different setting and this is an e3 trailer so this is THE BEST they can show, even with the leeway you get making a scripted e3 trailer.

im just glad it isn't a "cover shooter" but believe me this thing looks like it will absolutely disappoint a ton of people

>>380204968
Destiny isn't an mmo either. They're both co-op and sometimes shared world shooters.

Is it just me or do they basically run through a canyon the entire trailer. Doesn't look very open world.

>>380202258
It looks promising. But let's not kid ourselves. We can't exactly pretend Mass Effect Andromeda (and DA:I for that matter) didn't happen. Also the fact the main character was a chick gives me a bad feeling about the direction of this game. Also they officially confirmed this for PS4 and Xbone. So a downgrade is inevitable.

>>380202258
It looks like the game will have a lot of similarities with Destiny, i noticed something that seemed similar to Destiny's elemental types but without further gameplay it's hard to tell, the general rhythm of the reveal was a mirror of Destiny's E3 reveal years back.

The guns look like they have a good impact but the shooting looked slow and the enemies looked a little too generic.

I'm hoping there will be more than 4 base armors that are "highly" customizable. the more we can work from the more variety between players the better.

My biggest hope is that the game will have a character creator.

We shazbot now?

So that's their plan.

>>380208149
Yep, the town they showed was one narrow stretch opening up to your mech platform. Hide a loading screen to the top of the wall. "Fly" down to your mission area and it's all half pipes.

>>380202258
Ever since that Firefall MMO turned into a horrible horrible dumpster fire, I've had a sci-fi exo-suit shooter itch that has just not been scratched. I'm not getting my hopes up about the graphics, and what we did see of the gunplay didn't look stellar, but I think there's potential and I'll keep it on my radar.

Looks interesting, I like the Iron Man feel it has to it.
Looks like something I'll get on sale for 20$ in a couple of years

>>380202258
My hope is that Anthem might get the general idea behind Destiny right. This seems highly unlikely, primarily due to it being made by fucking Bioware of all studios.
Extremely cautious, but I'll watch trailers/play the inevitable beta.

Destiny is a lot better now than it was in Y1, but the basic act of shooting shit was always good.

>>380202258
As long as there is some quest variety, I don't care how bad the story is, just give me good gameplay

>>380202258

>>380208840
Not that I want to defend Bioware but it looked like you could've branched out in a couple of directions when the big bear thing showed up about halfway through and where the scavenger guys were as well as what looked like an underwater dungeon they could've gone in.

Still not an open world but hardly pure linear.

>>380209524
Just looked like long linear stretches with Dungeons"?" to me. I think people are just overhyping it right now. Barely any actual gameplay was shown.

>>380209374
Indeed, the Bungie 30 second loop was there in full force right from launch. The problem is/was literally everything else.
I played the base game and first DLC, but I didn't want to reward them with more money for anything past that.

On the topic, I find it funny that Bungie went out of their way to strip away one of the "fun" weapon slots for another "it works" weapon slot in D2, yet the new trailer is primarily focused around usage of the cool weapons that are now all competing for a single slot.

>>380209901
this was Casey Hudson's project before he left.

I have doubts on Bioware out Bungieing Bungie on a space looter shooter when Bungie is several years ahead of them.

A 3rd person Destiny. I think this will be my buy instead of Destiny.

>>380202258
Doesn't look anything like Bioware, looks like a Destiny clone and another generic space shooter. Bioware is truly dead now, once and for all. Mass Effect 3 was the last decent game they made.

>>380202258
Looks pretty generic. Also looks stupid seeing the "badass girl mechanics" when in reality they never even go near a car.

Yeah, I quit playing after the first month and only came back to it a month before Rise of Iron when someone gifted me Taken King. Honestly my biggest complaints right now are having to go to orbit to go to an activity, patrol mode being kind of dead / boring, and no custom strike playlist. The new weapon system seems like it was built specifically to cater to the pvp players even though they have consistently been the smaller population.

>>380204968
Have you played Destiny? It's the exact same thing, a co-op sci-fi game where you're in a semi-open world going around from place to place killing aliens and encountering random events so that you can get better loot for one of the classes you play as, each who have a super ability that can wipe out crowds of enemies. The only difference is Anthem is 3rd person.

>>380210283
>Looks pretty generic

this.

>>380210071
Could go either way, I'm just of the opinion that Bioware devs are stupid and made their game look slightly more linear than it actually is by having the characters only move forwards, they might just be dungeons but I sill counted less than 5 possible branching points in a 7 minute video including the descent which might let you pick a main path assuming you can actually control your character during it.

Looks like destiny, and that shit prefab "co-op" with actors is shit and immediately makes me uninterested. I wanted to see, more than anything else in that ass trailer, what happened when they jumped into that storm. I can only imagine it's a fucking 20 second load screen then it plops you into a strike-but-not.

>>380202258

I meant the character model seemed like it was a dude, but I could just be imbuing the bulky mech suit with male characteristics.

5 is probably the MOST important. Having a hub world means that you are not likely to have multiple hub worlds. It also means, that nothing can happen to it since that is where players load into while signing into the game.

It's a literal safe space, where people will just idle and shit talk. It's already falling into all the trappings of an mmo without the benefits of being a console game. We already have better multiplayer monster hunting games on pc in ARK, Tera, Black Desert and more.

Also, let me just take a moment to lather and bask in the retarded shit you just said.

Imagine being a male employee at Bioware and having to be all like "damn, xir, you fuckin' fine, all competent with your frumpy body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally empower you, both my inner personality and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fucking make a good game in the developers. Like seriously imagine having to be a male employee and not only sit in that chair while Faith and her tranny friend flaunt their disgusting bodies in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing their stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, day after day, hour after hour, while they accomplish literally nothing. Not only having to tolerate their monstrous fucking visage but their haughty attitude as everyone on site tells them they've STILL GOT IT and DAMN, FAITH AND THE XIRS WORK LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch their mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been crushing nothing but a healthy diet of coding and 3d models and later alleged rape accusations for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Montreal. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what xhe calls xirself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with a steady diet tim hortons in the previous months. And then the project director calls for another rewrite of their code, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're a fucking white male. You're not going to lose your future career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

the last good game bioware made was dragon age origins

I hate video games that put me in a suit just to give me super powers. Sorry, little nit pick. I'll be playing Destiny 2 over this sadly, if I get time away from Stormblood of course.

>>380204464
I'd be fine with this, if like Destiny it improves.

I wish more games were like Siege, where they have good design at the core but just need more support to iron out the issues. Too bad Ubisoft is dropping the ball on Wildlands and fucking For Honor and letting them both fucking die. Moreso on For Honor, because its issues are primarily server and connection related, with gameplay taking a close second similar to Siege.

Wasn't the issue with this webm that game development isn't super linear, it's about stacking layers onto shit? And as development continue, older, more experienced Bioware members left, which left the new shitters to be stuck with shit they had no idea how to handle, and so it ended up like the left side?

>>380212410
TOR has gotten pretty good post release support, but yeah that would be my worry about Anthem. If it even flails a little bit at launch I can see EA being quick with the hook. ME:A is basically dead right now.

It's lazy design. It restricts what you can do and explore since you have to always be by the hub world. Just listen to the wording of the presentation kid.

>Last bastion of mankind you have to defend

Which roughly translates to;

>You faggots will have to come here and be here all the time cause there isn't anything more

Lastly, before I start ignoring you from now on, I want to make a little foot note. Multiplayer games always have shit stories because just the nature of multiplayer interaction kills any sense of immersion you would have had. How many time have you played destiny or Borderlands and had schmucks trying to rush through the content while you just wanted to take a sec. to listen to the dialog, or read a script or watch a cut scene?

Case.
Closed.

Do not respond to this post.

Seem to remember reading they made the male main character an adonis while the female is very plain or weird looking, purely because the people at bioware think it's their duty to portray more 'realistic' looking women but not men.

>>380212624

This is probably an oversimplification, but from what I've read, Bioware had a shit ton of problems getting the frostbite engine to work for them, and Andromeda had an all over the place development where shit didn't get locked down until very late. The result is that there were a lot of changes to lighting and shading systems and not enough to time to go back and fix scenes those changes visually broke.

Anthem is a linear corridor shooter.
The jump jets are scripted piloting effects to transition between areas. You don't get to do that anywhere ever in the game through any level of free play.
It plays like Destiny around 8 months post launch, mixed heavily with Dead Space 3.
They have already had to scale back on the visuals.

the only studio facing closure is Montreal if Bioware can't produce sales on Anthem or DA4. At a minimum they both need to produce 3 million units.

I'm torn. On one hand, it doesn't look scripted, on the other, it looked like the only way to go.
Hows the character creator and general release date?

hopes: cozy wall base thing, fun exploration, interesting combat, and most of all: a good solo experience. I don't have anyone to play this with.

fears: shallow exploration and gameplay, boring story and setting, dudebro coop required for best content.

Good lord, i could understand maybe 48 hours or maybe a week at most but 48 days is too damn long. Atleast the PC players will have the 'mastered' edition.

It's a Destiny reskin.

Boring. Next game.

>>380213201
Anyone who isn't a shill can see that. Yet people still think Bioware will "turn it around"

>bioware btfo'ing anything ever except themselves as they slowly hemorrhage to dissolution

lol

>>380215910
I don't know the release date, only that EA has set a definitive date it will be ready by and if it isn't lots of Bioware employees are going to be looking for work.
Their is no flying in the game. I know its something that seems plausible because of a game like PlayerUnknown and the parachuting from the plane, but it isn't something that is player controlled. If you watch the cinematic you can see the soft fades of the video editing on the transitions, and then the whole arc drop pattern of rising and falling that occurs through the entire pathing from the start of the jump to the land.
>I'm torn.
are you all outta faith?
>>380215868
The final Alpha version had been sent of to Dice for revision and QA. Its a shooter that EA wants to do well.

>>380216950
Do you think its a good game as of right now?
How much has been cut?
How important is story and quests?

>>380202258
The gameplay they showed doesn't clarify whether this game is gonna be a bullet sponge fest or would rely on large amounts of cannon fodder enemies instead.

>>380213201

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I don't fucking believe you.

>>380216649
Its not a straight RPG game. EA would have given the project to Dice if they didn't want to try and get a product like what HZD was which is why Bioware has it.

Anthem isn't a Bioware original IP. It was a pitch to EA and assigned to Bioware.

Ye, bullet sponge with stats, I saw that happen in The Division

>>380202258
They're saying that there is indeed a single player. The issue is whether or not it's in the traditional Bioware formula. They also need to clarify what they intent the games multiplayer to be. Like Destiny's large MP or something smaller

>>380217172
I don't know if its good or not its not in QA at Bioware.
I don't know how much has been cut they are still focusing on each individual module segment. So presumably none since they are still finishing the main campaign.?
Its HZD tier of story, or something similar to Destiny while playing.

>>380217238
what you saw for the trailer was edited segments of gameplay based straight from one of the few finished segment modules. believe me or don't, idgaf, but if you think at any point in time you are going to be flying through a corridor on jets into a lake then sweeping back up you need to check back into reality.

>>380217185
think MEA.

>>380218135
I expect a downgrade, I don't expect there not to be something like
>be flying through a corridor on jets into a lake then sweeping back up
You keep saying Corridors, but it doesn't look that way

>>380217284
Who gives a shit. It's still Bioware working on it.

>>380209572
This makes me so sad and mad. Andromeda could've been great if it weren't for Anthem. They should've left Anthem to Montreal instead of their flagship franchise

>>380218067
MP is aimed to be 4 to 6 per team. Anthem is aimed to have a Halo-esque MP.

No, its not the traditional Bioware formula.

>>380218984
I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because they risked Mass Effect for this. Anything less than perfection will deal a huge blow the teams. People will now be really hesitant to try a new Mass Effect game after the injustice they did to Andromeda

>>380219245
>No, its not the traditional Bioware formula.
This is why I'm on the fence. No one does games like Bioware and if they ditch that for a generic co-op open world shooter, what's the point?

>>380202258
Already canceled my Destiny 2 pre-order.

Just kidding. Wasn't going to give Bungie another cent anyway.

I hope that it'll get right everything that went wrong with Destiny.

But I'm worried it'll get wrong the only thing Destiny got right (the gameplay).

>>380219359
Fuck off shill

>>380218984
after the jump off the platform, just after the other javelin drop lands ( done by jumping off a set platform and using an ability) the javelin the camera follows arcs left and goes through a tunnel corridor. Same as for when they run up to that cliff edge and the jump off into the cliffed valley (a corridor). Its a scripted event. The only real gameplay occurs after the emerging from the lake, at the same time the other javelin comes in using the same ability that you see at the start of the sequence.
Same with the jump jet sequence after the little combat excursion and towards the end of the trailer when they are running towards the electricity ball at the end of the video and then jump into the air and fly off, its another scripted event in the trailer.

This is bringing back the heartache of realising Destiny was going to be shit during the beta then confirming it when the full game released. I cant get hype for anything ever since.

Destiny ruined me.

>>380219104
It could have been great, but it also could have still sucked. I'm ready for new IPs rather than making ANOTHER game we've all already played

>>380221159
I don't believe you anymore. It may have corridors, but your saying that its all one continuous corridor. That would be a bigger risk than anything and if they want the game to sell, that's not how you'd do it.

>>380221346
When I played the Destiny Beta, I was under the impression Russia was one of four playable areas on Earth...

>>380221558
no, im saying that sections of it are scripted. if you want you can replace the word corridor with anything you like. I call tunnels that have a specific entrance and exit point a corridor. Just as I call a river valley that is surrounded by cliffs, or a path surrounded by rock face a corridor.

>>380222062
So how many areas will be in the game? Its has to be big I imagine

>>380221678
Yep, I remember that too, mate. What a fucking disappointment it all was. I still remember the "you can go over there" from the initial gameplay video, and he looks off into the distance towards forests and mountains when it turned out to be one of the single most linear games i'd seen since the 8 bit era. That fucking multiplayer rubber banding netcode though. Damn.

Seems more like its branching given how you enter the area when you're not spawning on team mates. There'll be a couple of starting points and then it'll keep forking which will be refreshing after Destiny and all of its fucking donuts.

>>380222535
I'd be okay with that

>>380222238
The aim is 15 primary areas with another available 10 secondary areas. If areas means individual maps.

If its sections of a single map, I don't know.

>Are they meant to be played over and over?
Its an open world FPS. Where do you think you will be spending your time?
>Give story details
Think HZD meets Taken King. Sort of the normal save the world from the corrupting force. The story isn't going to be a magnum opus of any sort, and it isn't going to set any new precedent. It will do what it needs to do and nothing more.

>>380202258
It looks nice, but I don't think Bioware will deliver.
It's been 6 years since DA2 and they still haven't made a decent game to redeem themselves.

>>380223613

none of what you say makes any sense. the fall down the hub doesn't look scripted at all, nor does the drop from the cliff into the water. it does look like the human player is in control of the character during the entire seqsuence. so unless im looking at it wrong, you're definitely bullshitting

>>380223613

the constant bobbing was put in to make it look player controlled. thats why the initial jump is done facing around 120 degrees from the tunnel passageway/corridor/whatever you want to call it, and has a steep drop.

Amazingly, game play trailer using pre-alpha footage isn't honest.

Mkay, why can the exosuit fly up from the water area for a bit before transitioning into combat? That doesn't look scripted at all

>>380224119
the wall exists to protect from the encroaching danger of corrupted wildlife from a past civilization (like augmented life like from Dead Space where the host needs to be dead), that is slowly coming back to life due to "human" interference. (HZD idea of past technology coming back to eat and kill all humans because processes have gone awry.)
The result of this leads to an eventual conflict with a not quite robot not quite humanoid species that views the "humans" as a threat. Save world scenario ensues. You need the javelins because its the only way to be able to fight back against the unknown robot force trying to kill you.
Its literally Destiny tier of story telling.

I refuse to believe anything posted by someone here saying they are an employee or have any insider knowledge.

The iron-man flying being nothing more than scripted transitions from one linear corridor to the next is damning information that would be leaked to more sources than just shitposters on /v/.

This is about as "believable" as all that Starfield nonsense people were LARPING at prior to Bethesda's conference.

I'm willing to believe that the flight doesn't work in combat, that it's more like a destiny Sparrow with verticality or a Wow flying mount restricted in some areas, I am not willing to take on faith that it's not even player controlled and is essentially a prettier version of waiting in an elevator in Mass Effect.

Andromeda is a shitty game but even that had the jumpjets

>>380226109
why does the camera bounce in some games when you run? because someone set it up so it occurs.

You aren't going to be playing Iron Man flying around. Why do you think the only jumps in the trailer are normal video game jumps and everything else seems overdone and special.

Literally nothing that made Bioware stand-out in the past is currently part of the current Bioware (also the name has been re-branded onto several unrelated studios). At this point nu-Bioware desperately needs a new direction, or meet the fate of all EA acquisitions. I have a feeling alot of staff from TOR have moved to work on Anthem which would explain the quasi-MMO aspects.

>>380202258
It will be at best average and at worst total shit.
Bioware is an empty shell, no reason to be hyped about what they produce.

>>380228612
and someone in this thread thinks they are actually going to be able to fly in a game.

do you really think Bioware is going to manage something that other better more experienced developers haven't? are you that desperate for Bioware cock?

Andromeda was entirely like that, Watch Dogs syndrome, go fuck yourself then kill yourself.

We all know E3 is just liar central. Especially so when it comes to Bioware. It's a shame too, because while the theme is interesting (Ironman type Suits exploring Alien Planet). It's likely just Warframe and or Destiny, mixed with The Division. It's most likely going to be absolute trash, filled with Bioware's forced diversity.
