Hope the yarn game is good because I think it was the best part of the conference.

Also, they kept saying Anthem would come out in eight months.

No way. No loving way.

After showing the same looping clip and the same concept art like five times in a row, all they presented was some very boring footage with some of the worst editing and jump cuts I've seen in a while. They didn't even have a pre-made demo level ready, so they just stitched together whatever.

Ya whenever we see edited cut gameplay instead of a 1 cut demo I feel weary. This is the same poo poo that happened with Andromeda they kept showing concept art and semi gameplay/cgi videos. Either the game runs like poo poo or they are way behind. Also it seems everyone other than Dice has no idea how to use Frostbite.

Anthem is probably going to have a spot at the Sony or MS conference so I'm sure there will be more uninspired gameplay shown in a day or two, don't worry guys!

Probably the latter because all Microsoft is probably going to be showing is third party games.

How do they have the entire studio working on this one game and not find time to include of the most popular features in bioware games?

Microsoft, Bethesda, and Devolver have some big shoes to fill, but I'm positive that they can put on a shitshow as terrible as EA's!

They probably found out the Jedi game wasn't ready to show off the same time we all did when Vince tweeted it a little while ago and had to scramble to put something together to pad out the conference with.

Also even if Bethesda crashes and burns for the majority of their show the new Prey stuff and potentially Rage 2 will make it worth it. Devolver's also got Metal Wolf Chaos so that also beats EA's show by default.

Eh, to me what's important in a shitshow isn't how poo poo it is, but how entertaining it is in being poo poo.

EA was a boring shitshow.
