Anthem is the new sci-fi co-op game from Mass Effect producer Bioware. Available Fall 2018 on PC (probably Origin), PS4 and Xbox One. Unlike Mass Effect, Anthem will be less a single player rpg and more a shared world / loot based third person shooter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL5GSfs9fi4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OSXEatkdJ4 AAB posted:Its Destiny, but also Horizon and you're Iron Man You are a free-lancer and you take missions from NPCs. To complete missions you use exo-suits called Javelins. Each javelin belongs to one of four classes, which bring different stats and powers. At the reveal both the Ranger (an all-rounder javelin) and the Colossus (a tank type javelin) were shown, with other two javelin types being hinted at in the U.I.  World traversal is via jetpacks, any kind of fast travel has yet to be seen but joining already running parties is in. The keywords during the reveal were * Large Scale Open World For now only one area was shown, a large luscious forest intersected with ruins. The demo traversed underwater caverns as well and the players got XP for discovering new zones. * Large Scale Dynamic Events Needs to be seen how events compare with public events on a timer in Destiny, or if they are triggered by the currently ongoing quests. * Large Scale Just a bit smaller than your mom. limaCAT fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jun 15, 2017 |

I'm the totally natural and not at all stilted banter between the players. Who even started the trend of doing that kind of thing in co-op trailers? The Division?

Hi friends Surprised it took this long until we saw a Destiny-like Hopefully the combat feedback loop is comparable, the game will live and die by that.

Why give this to loving Bioware of all companies? Surely EA has another name to put it under that has a better reputation for doing action?

I'd be even more hype for this game if it didn't have the stink of bioware on it after the failure that was ME:A. Don't give a gently caress if it was a different team or whatever, still bioware

Then I bet you loved the Wildlands pre-release gameplay. I think they're supposed to be emulating banter with your bros or just playing up to the target audience, but no one wants to hear that poo poo unless they're going to do full uncensored recordings. I want to hear the players calling each other bitches for stealing loot or kills

It looks like Bioware decided they needed to make a Twin Film of/competitor to Destiny after their lead writer left for Bungie. That being said, it seems p good, I'm excited to see what they've come up with. I'll likely not stop playing Destiny, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy both.

It comes off as super fake, but it proposes a multiplayer game that wouldn't suck utter dick. Me and some buddies exploring an alien world in cool mech suits together and having a great time, not repeating boring rear end instances endlessly in the hopes that an item with a bigger number might generate.

Since we're starting out with terrible jokes (i.e. Buckley) right off the gate, might as well do the inevitable one: Is this an Ayn Rand game?

There's nothing eminently hateable in the trailer, the graphics and gameplay all look pretty good and the world itself seems interesting. But I feel like there has to be some kind of hook that sets it apart from a Destiny clone, and given Bioware's recent track record, it's a very much wait and see type thing. I think if this had come from any other developer I would be significantly more enthused than I am now, ironic as I used to like pretty much everything they put out.

God I hope this game is good. In theory it's a game that ticks all the boxes of poo poo I want . I mean I know they'll probably botch it all up but part of me is optimistic.

This isnt EA's game... bioware came up with and pitched this themselves. If they remake the division but set in a world that looks like pandora from avatar & manage to drop enough story nuggets and a couple well designed missions then i'll probably get 30 odd hours of this. The biggest problem with games like this is that people expect to get 100 hours + out of it and will see it as being poo poo if it doesnt hold them for that long.

This is what Bioware's Edmonton A-team was doing while the B-team in Montreal (iirc?) was making Andromeda. That, however, doesn't actually mean anything regarding whether this game shares personnel with the first two MEs.

marshmallow creep posted:Desperation. That's a good reason I guess. I feel old. Every time some new MMO is announced its advertising itself as some grind festival where you eternally chase after higher levels and better loot. Quests exist entirely to funnel you towards more grinding. The world is designed to accommodate your endless grinding. Its just so dreadfully boring, but apparently this is what people find fun now? The most fun I had in an MMO was Guild Wars where you could hit max level in your first few hours and then had to overcome combat challenges by developing better tactics rather than just coming back later with bigger numbers. Now you've got these coop games copying the worst mechanics of MMOs because people like them so much. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Jun 14, 2017 |
