Short Pause: "We react to the EA Play 2017 press conference! Was this a better show than what we've seen from the company in years past?"
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.
I'd be fine just playing it as a localhost and dumb as rocks AI bots. Just give me the choice.
BioWare and EA had previously said the game would be accessible to those who owned it until it shuts down on January 12.
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.
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.
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.
2nd comment attempt (1st doesn’t appear & this may register as duplicate):
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.
