That Microsoft partnership is real. Might be interesting. Guess we know where we will see more.

Gazondaily3142d ago

Yeah will be a good showcase for the Scorpio

4Sh0w3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

A Way Out looks good but I don't know about a mandatory 2 player/co-op???... then Star Wars BF2 looked great but Anthem was definitely the most interesting thing shown.....and hell yeah we get to see more tommorrow on SCORPIO!

joab7773142d ago

Finally! Something for Scorpio. I wanna get one so bad, and last gen Bioware's ME made me buy a 360. Fingers crossed!

ULTp0ltergeist3142d ago

Somehow Microsoft made a mistake not making deals? Well there goes the first prediction killed and they haven't started yet.

hmm i didnt like Destiny , this seems more promising to be honest (probably has the artist teams form Titanfall and that s a good thing)....though if it is a again an FPS only game i wont even touch it

AngelicIceDiamond3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

Called it. Biowares new Ip will be showcased by MS. Pretty obvious tbh they had many partnerships in the past.

Also glad EA FINALLY has a new Ip.

TheCommentator3142d ago

4K not available on all platforms... I wonder which ones will support Native 4K... 🦂

IamTylerDurden13141d ago

The teaser trailer looks pretty awesome even if though it does seem to take alot of cues from Destiny, however, my issue is this. How can Bioware rightfully push this game so soon after they released an embarrassing Mass Effect? It bothers me that we are supposed to believe in your new space IP "Anthem" when just months earlier you released your flagship space IP "ME:A" in a disastrous state. Andromeda was an embarrassment to the series, how could you let your biggest and most prestigious franchise turn out like that? Perhaps ppl should've been pulled off of Anthem to ensure Andromeda would be a higher quality product?

I know Bioware lost "the doctors" and many important members but quite frankly i expected Mass Effect to maintain a certain level of excellence. It just shocks me that they can churn out a garbage Mass Effect and turn around and expect full belief in a somewhat similar new IP. I know large studios have multiple internal teams, but my trust in Bioware is seriously shaken. We'll see.

TheCommentator3141d ago

I agree with you Tyler, it seems too soon after the ME:A trainwreck to hype this up. I am hopeful that the talent that's left at Bioware has been making this game instead of that abysmally awful (M)Ass Effect game.

If Anthem doesn't blow me away, it may just end up being Bioware's swan song instead.

Microsoft aint playing in these streets!

Scorpio season.

Christopher3142d ago

Not even because of Scorpio. All because EA Access. Scorpio is just the cherry.

JasonKCK3142d ago

The bit that we good looked cool and all but it was just a bit. Excited for tomorrow.

Ceaser98573613141d ago

4k not available on all platforms.. well PC and Scorpio will go Native... PS4 will go dynamic... So i feel its not a XBOX exclusive like Titanfall 1

IamTylerDurden13141d ago

MS "aint playin" bc they got a marketing deal? Wtf? Not exclusivity but a marketing deal..

Salooh3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

I hate it when they show a teaser in one show and say we will show you the real thing in another show. Why you do dis. Why show the game twice like that?. Revealing it all in MS show would of produced a bigger and more positive impact for MS. Element of suprise is lower now and i don't like that, what keeps me interested in watching with my full attention is that element..

But the game looks stunning and really promising. Hope we see a clear image of it's vision tomorrow and i hope that it's something big and addictive.

Christopher3142d ago

Probably to send a message that "this is ours before it's anyone else's". That sends the message that it's not an MS poject, but an EA one, even if they show more on their stages to help promote MS.

xsta1ker3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

salooh
i disagree i believe a small sample of something that looks so compelling just before a full reveal
will draw more gamers into Microsofts press conference that's the hole point of a teaser
hook you so you just have to toon in...it's a great move buy Microsoft.

and yes i get your point about being surprise but it's not like you've been seeing leeks from 3 weeks
out. this small sample will do what Microsoft intended pull more gamers to the show and
hit them with multiple shocking surprises 🙂

Jmanzare3142d ago

Possible marketing deals? I wouldn't be surprised if we see battlefront single player gameplay on the Sony stage

AngelicIceDiamond3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

@Salooh I definitely agree, believe it or not this was somewhat diminishing for MS. Not saying they're doomed or any where near that, but MS E3 show is much bigger than EA's it would have been way more epic if MS brought out Bioware themselves and showed the FULL reveal. Though EA would of gotten heat if they didn't show off their rumored Ip. Considering its been rumored for a few years now.

Again I agree definitely.

@Stalker I understand what you mean. "Hook N Sinker" effect. I guess it does make MS conference more appealing in someways.

Bigpappy3141d ago

Because the don't want to show Scorpio before M$ and that's where they want to showcase it. It is their game though, so they had to announce it so their fans know what's next.

IamTylerDurden13141d ago (Edited 3141d ago )

To those already freaking out at the speculation Scorpio will be native 2160 and Pro dynamic. Mass Effect is 1800p on Pro and 900p on xb1. That is current, that is the same company and it's right now... and it's a much bigger difference. So relax, bc u certainly aren't mentioning 1800 to 900p and very few ppl are in general, so no need to get nasty about Anthem releasing mid 2018 potentially being native to Pro's dynamic. Also, Bioware of 2017/2018 unfortunately isn't Bioware of 1998-2012. That being said, the teaser trailer looks pretty awesome.

People though it was just AC. I don´t know if it is good or bad but, I think this third party marketing deal war is real.

IamTylerDurden13141d ago (Edited 3141d ago )

A marketing deal with MS? That's cool. Idk why ppl are getting so excited for a marketing deal, Sony has dozens. Anthem will be on PC, PS4, and xbox.

Christopher3141d ago

To be honest, probably because Phil has said he's been against them so much. I don't mind them as long as they're not at RotTR levels, but when Phil says something like that... You know people are going to call him out on it (because they call him out on everything under the sun).

Not enough "Bwaaahahhhhhhhhh!!" sound effects in that trailer either. Need to fistf**k a few more in there EA.

"Oh boy. Another space marine aliens mash up. How exciting. "

lol, my thoughts exactly. Looks like another boring Halo type game.

rainslacker3141d ago (Edited 3141d ago )

I'll reserve judgement until I see more.

If they really go this MP required, games as a service route, then my interest is already pretty much zero. But if they keep a good SP campaign in Bioware fashion, then I'll see how it turns out. No release until 2019 though, so plenty of time to make a decision.

Thinking on the teaser all I can think is that it's really hard to get excited for something which shows so little, and does so in a rather generic way when we consider what all is out there now. It makes me think things are becoming too cliche. Teaser like this would actually give me more hype if it was an established IP and I knew what to expect from the game itself.

-Foxtrot3142d ago

The wall reminded me of Destiny...then the monster I got a Horizon vibe.

Kingthrash3603142d ago

That monster gave you a horizon vibe?????
How?
I personally got a evolve vibe more than anything.

-Foxtrot3142d ago

Remember the first Horizon trailer when it showed you the setting them you had a robot rising from the right side of the screen...

Kingthrash3603142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

Ah, I see what you mean.
My vibe was just different. I got a TF feel from it too. Looks like you can jump in a 'TITAN'.... guess we will see what it's about tomorrow.

Deep-throat3142d ago

Horizon vibe? Come on bro.

You guys need to wake up. Horizon is pretty much like Uncharted; both brought nothing new into gaming. Been there, done that.

-Foxtrot3142d ago

Did you not see above when I explained it OR did you and you just thought you'll still try and make something out of it to fit your own agenda.

Why is it I say my first example reminds me of a multiplatform game...nothing but the second I say it's given me a vibe from an exclusive game...FANBOY ALERT

Seriously...come on

notachance3142d ago

wow guys look deep-throat with his retarded fanboy comment further disgrace himself, E3 version!

Nyxus3142d ago

Yes it's like Uncharted in the way that they are both games of great quality.

4Sh0w3142d ago

Damm Deep & Headblackman you guys need to relax, Im no Foxtrot fan but all he did is say what it reminded him of....not really something to blow up about. "Pick your battles." jeesh.

Ceaser98573613141d ago

Horizon is pretty much like Uncharted?? wow!! do you game bro?? Or did you even check out Horizon zero dawn...

rainslacker3141d ago (Edited 3141d ago )

First I thought, "Attack on Titan". Then I thought, "Horizon" because of the creature. Two things which are represented elsewhere, and just came to mind.

Doesn't mean he's, or I, are implying that the game will be anything like Horizon, and i don't think bioware/EA were trying to piggyback on the success of that game by showing the creature. It was just an ominous thing that the person in the trailer was talking about, and used to pique one's interest.

Why be so defensive over it?

If I said that the space marine gave me a Halo vibe, would you be upset?

Vibes happen because we relate things to what we know, and our own experiences. That's exactly what trailers do....make people relate what they see to their own experience to illicit an emotional response, and hopefully generate interest.

Of course the full gameplay is going to be at the Microsoft Conference, not that I'm complaining. I just hope that Microsoft has some exclusives up its sleeve and not just Project Scropio.

On topic though, I'm curious but we gotta wait to see the full gameplay reveal tomorrow.

Exactly, Being suprised is really a key to enjoy that show and gain positive effect. To make my point, Consider it as a fantasy because i don't expect it or want it right now but Imagine for example Sony suddenly reveal PS5 without anyone expecting it, that would be mind blowing. That's what i love in these shows. That's why i get excited and looing forward for E3. For suprises, that's what makes these moments stick in my mind, like when they revealed God of war i didn't expect it to be showed that fast and in a cool way. Hope they have these moments.

I hope that people don't get me wrong here just because i mentioned Sony. Infact I hope MS improve even more because it benefit me in pc..

Could Anthem live on? Tech allowing local server hosting existed, former executive producer says

BioWare's multiplayer shooter Anthem was terminated this week because EA no longer wanted to maintain servers for people to play the game on, and without them, no one can play the game. But the former executive producer of Anthem has revealed that BioWare had technology working, close to the game's release, that would enable us to host our own servers to play the game on.

EA/Bioware should allow us to host our own servers to let this game live on.

I'd be fine just playing it as a localhost and dumb as rocks AI bots. Just give me the choice.

Only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game

Time flies (like a Javelin suit): there are only 10 days left to play BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game Anthem before the servers are switched off, presumably forever.

In my opinion, Anthem was a good IP that was worthy of a no man's sky or cyberpunk 2077 treatment.

To this day, their sub reddit is active and I was able to get into a game quickly a few weeks ago when I booted it up.

It is a shame EA and Bioware didn't want to give the game the overhaul it needed to turn it into a competent looter shooter.

GamerRN13d ago

They were close to releasing the overhauled version and then EA cancelled it

TheGamersDojo11d ago

I wholeheartedly agree. If ANY game deserved to get the rework/relaunch it deserved it was this one. More than literally any other. Even over FFXIV, No Mans Sky etc.

SlothLordPootus13d ago

I just finished this up a couple days ago. Although it's a bit repetitive and the story is meh, the game feels great to play. Even if you can only hop on the game for a couple hours before it shuts down, I think it's worth it.

chicken_in_the_corn13d ago

Really enjoyed this. Shame to see it go.

Software_Lover13d ago

I didnt know servers were still up. I could have been playing!!!

They can spend billions to buy or get bought but they can’t spend a fraction of that to fix or overhaul a game that could have been truly special, smh.
