So there's an Anthem trailer out. It looks, uh, Destiny 'influenced' as far as world goes.

Facebook comments all seemed very negative.

I wonder if "Bioware" is working on a battle royale game yet. Maybe for DA4?

The only Battle Royale Bioware is going to be involved in is when EA locks them in their offices and promises the survivor a job after their post-Anthem shuttering.

I mean it seems weird to enter the loot shooter market a few years after that market was cool and there are really only two or three companies who do anything resembling a BioWare-type action RPG so I wager the folks on Facebook are pissed they're getting Destiny 2.5 instead of a proper Mass Effect game

While I'm not going to give Hudson the benefit of doubt, I'm not entirely writing off a new project from BW. I believe this is closest thing to a game from the pre-Andromeda ME team since ME3. Not that BW isn't a very different studio and this a very different game, and not that BW hasn't given us a whole lot of reasons to be skeptical.

A team of people graduated from a college of design to produce this.

I'm guessing that Anthem won't be worth a bag of Hot Fries ($2USD retail) but would be pleasantly surprised if their idea of a hit game from 2014 turns out to be a success!

Meh, it's the characters and story that will determine whether I buy Anthem or not. I could have tolerated Andromeda if it at least had a good story to make it worth slogging through the godawful game design.

It's not like the game was finished a year ago and they're just sitting on it. Demos like that are always constructed specifically for that purpose to give an impression of what the finished game would look like.

Just how toned down it is from the reveal footage, there even seems to be some framerate dropping when they start shooting, the reveal trailer has a giant storm of special effects happen without any issues to framerate

No romances for Anthem confirmed so eh not even sure what the point is if you can't gently caress weird aliens. Also I associate the word Anthem most closely with Anthem Blue Cross so they've got a long road to engender any positive feelings from me about this game.

e3 Demos for a Destiny-scale game shouldn't look like they're only just getting around to building the world during the final year of development. By now they should be at the beta-and-debug stage, or close to it. Certainly far enough along to show a hell of a lot more than edited-together 3-second snippets of basic gameplay in an environment that's unchanged since last-year's reveal.

It's utterly mindblowing to me how the next Assassin's Creed of all things is going to be more true to the spirit of a Bioware RPG than Anthem.
