Anthem (February 22nd)





https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/anthem

Description:

On a world left unfinished by the gods, a shadowy faction threatens all of humankind. The only thing that stands between these villains and the ancient technology they covet are the Freelancers. Join with up to three other players and assemble high-tech, hand-crafted, uniquely powerful exosuits. Explore vast ruins, battle deadly enemies, and claim otherworldly artifacts. With every mission, you and your Javelin exosuit grow in power. Fight the dangers of an ever-changing world. Rise united to defeat evil. Triumph as one. Anthem™ invites you to experience a co-operative Action-RPG set in a new and mysterious world from BioWare™ and EA.

Features:

* Individual heroes unite to triumph as one: The heart of Anthem is a connected, social experience. Team up with up to three other players in cooperative adventures that reward both teamwork and individual skill. Each player’s choice of Javelin exosuit will shape their contribution and strategic role on the team. Set out together on an expedition or drop a contract to call in friends to assist with difficult challenges. As you explore, you will discover a gripping story filled with unique and memorable characters. Seamless and intelligent matchmaking will ensure you can quickly and easily find other players to adventure alongside.

* Choose from an arsenal of customizable exosuits: Every time you enter the world as a Freelancer, you will access your collection and select a powerful Javelin exosuit – armor designed to provide its pilot with incredible offensive and defensive capabilities. Move at incredible speed, rocket across the skies, or safely roam watery depths. As you play, you will constantly have the opportunity to progress both your own abilities as a Javelin pilot and the combat and traversal capabilities of your exosuits.

* Personalize your Javelins to showcase your accomplishments: The Javelin exosuits – and accompanying gear, weapons, and equipment – can be heavily customized and personalized. As you rank up and defeat powerful foes, you’ll gather loot and complete milestones in the game, unlocking amazing personalization options that turn your Javelins into testaments to your ability and achievement.

* Explore an ever-changing world of danger and mystery: Powered by EA’s Frostbite™ game engine, Anthem’s visually spectacular, evolving, and open world features unpredictable conditions, hazards, and enemies. As a live service experience, Anthem will change and grow over time – introducing new stories, challenges, and cataclysmic events. This world is both beautiful and deadly – and will strategically challenge you with each new expedition you embark on with your Freelancer team.

Well I’ve probably played for about 10 hours and I have mixed feelings.

The characters are awful, the dialogue, which despite being mostly optional and of which there is a lot, is awful, the story is a disappointment, the loot is crappy and really makes me appreciate the quality of the loot in Destiny. And why the fuck is every mission multiplayer only?! It’s far less of a solo experience than what I expected. It makes Destiny look like a completely single player game! However I seriously hate the fact that the game teleports me within like 20 seconds if I don’t keep up with other players during missions.

Edit: Ok apparently I just found out that there are Privacy settings that I can change to play missions solo. This is a big plus. Unless it turns out to be too difficult lol.

Load times have been improved but they’re still a pain. I like the free play mode which does allow time to explore at my own pace as the world is pretty massive and really quite seamless so jetpacking around is really a lot of fun.

I also found the Destiny style strike missions known as ‘Strongholds’ to be enjoyable and particularly challenging. They are more like raids with matchmaking so that’s pretty cool but it’s a shame there are only 3 of them so far.

Visually the game is impressive and probably the best thing about it. I can imagine the base consoles struggle with this one and it really makes my Pro fan spin.

I think it will get better over time but for the moment I will keep playing it at least until
The Division 2 lol.

Haha as likely as that might seem and as funny as that might be I haven't played Anthem for about 3 months now but I'm tempted to revisit the games for a few hours.

https://kotaku.com/sources-bioware-plans-a-complete-overhaul-for-anthem-1839892415

Quote:
Details on Anthem Next are hazy, but among other things, the game’s developers plan to overhaul the loot, the quests, the social aspects of the game, the difficulty, the progression system, and the world map. One person on the project said they’re planning to change the game’s entire structure. Right now, the entire world of Anthem is set on a single contiguous map; separating the map into segments would allow developers to tweak and play around with those segments without worrying that they might create bugs and glitches all across the world. “We’re also looking at breaking up the need to go back to [Fort Tarsis] after every mission,” said the person, “and what a mission technically is. That was always a weird disconnect. [We’re] trying to integrate the disparate parts of the game together.”


Anthem 2.0 in development ...
