Will Anthem save Bioware?

>Save a company that won a GOTY in the last 3 years

No.

>>389911179
No. they cashed out all their good credit with me when they burned Mass Effect to the ground with #3 and the horror that was Dragon Age.

let's find out!

oh sure it will anon! because that's just what video games need right now: another online dumpster fire that's dead 2 months later.

the funny part is i bet they put in a cash shop that uses bioware points.

>>389911179
No.
The issue is that either their devs or EA have forgotten the niche that kept them relevant (Western RPGs) and have forsaken everything about that subtle genre to try to gain mass appeal and chase after other genres.

Anthem's gameplay showed off NO story and NO role playing narrative elements. So WHY are they assigning a NARRATIVE, STORY-FOCUSED RPG developer to this project. They have DICE, why not throw them onto this one?

Why would they throw their hat into the Warframe/Destiny action-multiplayer-RPG genre at all?

but will it be better than Destiny 2?

If they fire every lead-person who worked on Andromeda, they might

>implying goty means anything when every publication has their own award
Bless your retarded little heart

>>389911559
They also missed their tiny window at getting any sort of Window by letting Destiny 2 get released first. It'll be hard to garner any sort of interest in the "post-apoc exosuit looter shooter" genre with both Warframe and Destiny 2 out there keeping people grinding.

>>389911807
Warframe's got fuckall marketing compared to Activision

>>389911906
But it's free. If you want to pay for your space age supershooter you have Destiny and for all the Brazilians you've got Warframe. Anthem is like Lawbreakers - no matter how good the game is, it has no niche to fill. Bordermemes found its niche with bad humor and cel shading, but Anthem looks like just more big robots fighting random monsters for a dwindling humanity.

Well since its a different studio i hope so. It doesnt seem to be to bad an idea either.

Free or not doesn't mean shit when you have a bigass marketing budget

>>389911559
>Anthem's gameplay showed off NO story and NO role playing narrative elements.
It didn't even show off gameplay, technically, just what they want the gameplay to be. It's no different from those wildly unrealistic """gameplay""" demos where faggots act like they're playing the game with cringeworthy attempts at banter that Ubisoft loves to shit out. Just compare the first Division or Siege "gameplay" trailer to what we got in the end.

>Anthem releases
>huge failure
>EA pulls the trigger on bioware
Is there any company /v/ would want to end up with the mass effect IP? Dragonage?

>>389911179
The fuck is this

>>389912503
And who's gonna buy Anthem over Destiny, retard? My whole point is that between Destiny and Warframe, Anthem is fucked.

>>389912665
It has "BIOWARE" stamped on it

>>389912727
Which means exponentially less with each new game they release

>>389912601
I'd like to see CD Projekt Red handle Mass Effect.

>>389913536
And is growing progressively smaller.

>>389913796
How much of an audience do they even have left after Andromeda?

>>389911179

It has Bioware's name attached, there will be big buzz and only time will tell if the playerbase dies quickly or slowly. I think it'll die fast unless something very compelling makes people stay... frankly I doubt it'll have anything unique to create that.

All of these multiplayer games are repetitive and the same in nature. I'm not sure what will make people break away from Destiny or Warframe towards this game lol.

>>389912498
What is that image even?

>>389914097
my brother feels the biggest problems with Andromeda were external (i.e. using frostbite and releasing an unfinished game). He probably won't get anthem because we're both antisocial losers but I imagine he'll get whatever else they come out with.

>>389911179
theyre going to awaken to a cruel reality when this game comes out

>>389914147
Nothing is making me ditch Warframe after I beat the Second Dream recently.

>>389911638
In some ways, but worse in others.

>>389916239
I hope so. I know wanting a game to fail isn't exactly a healthy mindset but Bioware have their heads so far up their own ass they need reality to smack them in the face.

>>389911807
Especially because it'll release close to Destiny 2's first big expansion/refresh next Sept. They better deliver much more than Bungie has with their previous attempts. If it isn't universally acclaimed as the GOTY 2017, then it'll fail the same way The Division did.

For a game all about Power Armor, I've never seen more boring and unimaginative designs. Nothing about them seems memorable or iconic.

Even Destiny had some cool looking space guns.

No.
It will kill them.
To everyone's surprise, Destiny 2 is actually good, and Anthem will be releasing around the time of D2's big year 2 expansion which will probably bring back tons of people and bring in new people as well.
Anthem is dead on arrival.

>>389911559

They want the Destiny audience trouble is they are to busy playing Destiny

>>389911179
Anthem is probably going to go the route of battleborn. Want a paid version? Destiny 2. Free version? Warframe. There's no market left for them and after the embarrassment of ME:A to even the point normies took notice of how bad it was, the name Bioware just looks bad. Hopefully the game flops hard enough to get EA to cut take Bioware out back and put it down Old Yeller style.

I don't think it will save them. The Bioware name has been greatly damaged after ME:A I don't know how they can bounce back.

>>389918714
die hard biodrones will eat this shit up no matter

>>389911179
Yes. It'll get heavily criticized and Bioware will learn they they should stick to o what they're best at and redeem Mass Effect with a sequel to Andromeda that's 10/10

>>389911179
>they admitted they want Anthem to be the start of a ten year journey.
That line fucked Destiny and Bungie admitted multiple times that the quote was severely taken out of context. Bioware is leading with that statement like the king retards they are, there is no way this game does anything but be the final nail in the studio's coffin.

>>389919280
What Biodrones? The ones that couldn't salvage ME:A? They aren't as numerous as you think.

>>389912601
ohhh silly anon, EA not only consumes the studios corpses it also enjoys hidding their beloved ips in their dungeons.

only to be revived as mobile games (dungeon keeper)

>>389917314
It's like all those MMOs that tried to be WoW killers without realizing that if anyone wanted to play a clone of WoW, they'd just play WoW. Christ, it even has the same Last City/The Wall setup as Destiny

I think it will be the final nail in their coffin, as is standard practice at EA.
Of course, it will make plenty of money, because most of it isn't in the hands of us slaves.
They just need that one kids who is second cousin to the sheik in order to play it, and find the loot crates.

>>389912727
which means absolute dogshit after Andromeda

>>389911179

Anthem is just a fucking answer to yet another round in everyone's favourite part of the Triple AAA industry.

Follow the leader.

Activision did it with Cod and now the loot and shoot space genre has to be repeated at tandem. There's also the Moba shooter where plenty of games challenging (or tried to) challenge Overwatch.

Bio ware let one of their best franchise keel over in a very Konami like fashion in order to chase after Destiny and give Microsoft that sweet air to breath since they've been suffocating since as 2014.

>>389917489
what, so he was able to make her more conventionally attractive?

fuck off, normie. The problem isn't her face, it's the uncanny valley animation.

Dunno.
What I can say is that it will be very interesting to follow.

nah, but it'll probably kill it

Bioware is literally digging their own grave here. They're going to piss off the remaining Bioware fans there are while chasing after another audience that will be too busy playing Destiny 2 to give a shit.

How is this game any different from ME:A in concept

I've never gone from 10 to 0 so quick in a game reveal before.

>beautiful art, nice models, thinking of the combat possibilities vanquish with jet packs
>haha just kidding faggot it's a dank purp treadmill

Anthem, like everything Bioware has ever done, will probably be a decent concept with interesting ideas marred by shit development, shoddy writing, and blatant agenda-pandering.

I remember hearing about a new Bioware IP and it was exciting because it was unknown but I now I see it and all I feel is disappointment.

>>389920902
They'll likely shoehorn in bad NPC romances like they did in TORtanic.

>The Division
>Made by Bioware

yea good luck with that one lads, The Division was a fucking meme and now it's being made by Bioware.

>>389911179
Anthem is already dead. Warframe ate it for breakfast to create Plains of Eidolon.
