Anyone else glad to see them humbled by Andromeda? Maybe now

They'll never realize anything.

only because increased crippling from EA

naughty dog will likely never stop pushing their identity politics because they have all the funding in the world

What are they working on these days anyways? Another dragon age game?
I heard inquisition wasn't bad but I feel like since I've played TW3 it will feel like garbage in comparison

>>388445594
this

>>388445594
You're probably right, but if anthem fails, the it's safe to say they're going back behind the shed.

>>388445524
well they're making the division: robot space so dont put too much faith in them

>>388445774
Anthem.

>>388445774
It does feel like garbage in comparison anon. It was a step up from 2 but it's a boring game all around.

I thought we were passed all of these types of games.

>tfw blizzard and bioware used to be my 2 favorite devs
I use it as a reminder that time... just slips away from us.

I'm glad, but things will not change. They haven't learned any lessons.
They blame people who criticized the game or "only hated it to jump on the hate train" or some shit.
Bioware still has several rabid fans who will praise them for everything they do. Bioware isn't changing.

>>388445698
>only because increased crippling from EA
You can't differentiate "EA" from "Bioware" anymore at this point. There's hardly any dev or writer from the original Bioware left.

It's a third-person looter shooter. They're going after Destiny and The Division.

I actually like the kind of game Anthem aspires to be, but damn, does it ever look generic.

>>388447870
If they did it properly this might actually become a good game. Destiny is meh and the division is irredeemable trash.

That's a really big 'if' though.

>>388448058
I'm keeping a passing eye on the game for now. I can understard why Anthem was among the top 10 for best in show at E3, given the demo in >>388446220. Bioware just has to keep building interest for the next year while watching what Destiny 2 and The Division do so it can come out swinging. I have no doubt EA is going balls-out with this.

>muh diversity hire
Wasn't Andromeda's team mostly composed of white dudes?

Anyway, Andromeda failed because EA hired a bunch of inexperienced college grads and set them to work on a AAA title without adequate supervision, and EA did not delay the game for polishing as they should have. 'Muh diversity' has fuckall to do with it.

Had Andromeda been released as it is now, it would not have failed and the IP would still be alive.

>see them humbled
Edmonton won't learn anything from this because they didn't work on Andromeda. So expect more of the same shit from nuBioware to be present in Anthem.

>>388448778
>Had Andromeda been released as it is now, it would not have failed and the IP would still be alive.
Bullshit, the writing is still awful.

>>388448778
Edmonton HAD to have noticed one of its branch studios fucking shutting down after the newest game in one of its flagship IPs flopped like a freshly-caught bluefin tuna. It's all the more incentive for them to not fuck up their new IP (or Dragon Age 4).

>>388448554
I've just come to accept that every thread made about Andromeda is by someone who doesn't know the first thing about the game other than it being a hot topic on /v/

>>388449037
ME3 did well enough to warrant a new game in the series, and that game's writing was awful. So that's a moot point.

What killed MEA's chances of success was the amount of bad press it got from the wonky animations, bugs and general lack of polish.

>>388449094
>It's all the more incentive for them to not fuck up their new IP
They already did that by making an even more boring and generic version of Destiny.

>>388445524
You are a fool for believing that that was the actual problem, and that the edmonton is not permeated with the same kind of people.

>>388449391
>They already did that by making an even more boring and generic version of Destiny.
According to them, Anthem has been in the works for four years.

>>388445524

You say that like the people that follow that logic are actually reasonable and capable of realizing the flaws in it

And Destiny was first announced a little over 4 years ago. February 20th, 2013, to be exact.

>>388449391
>wonky animations, bugs and general lack of polish.
A few people blamed that on Frostbite and how it "wasn't designed for RPGs or cutscenes" or some shit.

Anthem basically looks like someone at BiowarEA just scraped the Mass Effect sticker off the top and are trying to pretend it's a new IP. It looks exactly like Mass Effect, right down to the turgidly slow magical jetpacks in their N7 suits that let them fly at a snail's pace which debuted in ME:A.

>>388450060
>Frostbite and how it "wasn't designed for RPGs or cutscenes"
They're not entirely wrong. Frostbite is at its core an engine optimized for FPS. Its not really as flexible as Unreal, what they were using for ME1-3.

Still, the blame can't be placed solely on the engine.

>>388448329
It's blatantly obvious that they're piggybacking off 2015-1016 trailers that they hoped would be hits.

>>388450214
They've made it a point to say that Anthem is soft sci-fi/fantasy compared to Mass Effect's hard sci-fi, if that's worth anything. Also, I don't recall a Mass Effect that lets you fly like a superhero as a baseline ability.

>>388450060
As if that's justification for creating a shitty game?

They chose the engine. If it "wasn't designed for RPGs or cutscenes" and you're making an RPG with lots of cutscenes, they have no excuse.

Let's settle this once and for all

Destiny 2 (made by Activision/Blizzard) or Anthem (made by EA/Bioware)?

>>388450469
>They chose the engine.
Not really.

EA mandates that all their games be made using Frostbite.

>>388450469
Maybe EA chose the engine for them. They were quick to tout Frostbite among the first trailers for Andromeda.

>>388450570
you high or something?
where's bungie?
and I have more trust in bungie than i do bioware

>>388450347
>was about to argue that inquisition didn't have whacky ass cutscenes and dialogue sequences
>remembered that gif of those jesters getting knocked out the window and many other gifs
nevermind

>>388450570
>>388450734
The Destiny 2 beta burned a lot of people, and Bungie has a track record of not changing a fucking thing after getting feedback from players.

Anthem still has yet to embarrass itself.

>>388450947
Why did it burn people? Is Destiny 2 on fire?

>>388445524

They weren't humbled. They are actually, as we speak, engaged in an Orwellian attempt to rewrite the game's reception into a positive one to justify their past and future development choices.

>>388445524
no they won't. in fact they're going to double down on it. they can handwave any criticism as "racism" and claim their critics are "white supremacists". as long as they can keep duping people into buying the games and getting them a profit they don't care. social capital is almost as important as money now.

>>388450947
>Anthem still has yet to embarrass itself.
implying the trailer with the "real player voice conversations" wasn't absolutely embarassing.

I recall the feeling I had after playing ME1 for the second time. It was a great feeling, thinking about how no matter what went wrong in my life I could look forward to Mass Effect 2. If only I had known what a dark road I was about to go down.

>>388451254
The "obviously-reading-from-a-script voice actors playing through a predesigned scenario" trailer has been a thing for a while. They do that just to show off the main bullet points of the game, which it did.

>>388446220
>player lands in a completely random ass area far as fuck away from their objective
>a ''''''''dynamic''''''' cinematic scripted even happens
wowee

until anthem I never thought a scifi setting could look absolutetly bland and uninteresting

>>388445524
Well I didn't hate Andromeda as much as I hated Mass Effect 3 so not exactly.

Although I really hope Anthem fails harder than Andromeda ever did and it actually kills Bioware completely

>>388451317
But ME2 was better than ME1, anon.

>>388445524
Like they were humbled when they released Dragon Age 2, then went and fucked up Mass Effect 3.

Looking forward for games like Destiny 2 or Anthem is about as entertaining as living in East Germany.

>>388446220
Holy shit can't they show a gameplay demo that is not 100% scripted even by the "players"??

>>388452580
>as living in East Germany
Or present-day Germany.

>>388453034
It was the first reveal of the game. They have to go through the bullet points of what they want to show off, so they do it in a controlled environment.
