Anthem Update

One year ago, the Anthem dev team was preparing to launch Anthem – a game that represented a big leap into new territory for BioWare as a studio. Over the coming months, the team will be focusing on a longer-term redesign of the experience, specifically working to reinvent the core gameplay loop with clear goals, motivating challenges and progression with meaningful rewards

Anthem 2.0?

Just let it go Bioware

FreeFallFrenzy2166d ago

I truly think that if they can figure out the gameplay issues then this game can be a hit. The story is very intriguing and the co-op has a lot of promise, but the bullet sponge mayhem and bad gameplay design have crippled the game. They figure that out and they're set to take on year two very well imho.

The story is trash. Aside from the flying. Everything about this game is awful.

SlagWolf2166d ago

They can’t
, it will destroy their “Games as a Service”model if they did abandon it.
They really want this release half a game in a broken state thing to get over
And as long as people keep buying it they will keep doing it

txboy052166d ago

The game has major potential, let the professional do their thing then bash them again if it’s still garbage.

In the UK, we have a phrase for this.
"Flogging a dead horse."

I'm no manager but this seems a rather poor investment of resources.

Good news for the 12 people that still play the game tho

jjb19812166d ago

11, I stopped playing a month ago.

InKnight7s2166d ago

10 I trade mine for Gran Turismo Sport.

Kribwalker2166d ago

gran turismo sport is the perfect example of what can be done to a game with extra time put in it (also see sea of thieves, street fighter 5 etc) . It released as a shell of a game, and now it’s quite robust.
I applaud them for trying to fix their wrongs, but next time make it right at the start

kayoss2166d ago

Dont forget No Mans Sky.

Kurupt2166d ago

Might give them the benefit of the doubt maybe..remember when no mans sky first launched?? Was a disaster..look at it now..like a total different game and quite appealing..

DarkZane2166d ago

Or look at what SE did with FF14.

solideagle2166d ago

there are videos on youtube (documentary style) that how this game turned out to be awesome. credit goes to the director though. How Naoki Yoshida saved the game is astounding. Failure to success.
not sure what is NMS total sales though!

RazzerRedux2166d ago

Hope it is successful for Bioware's sake. I can see EA starting to lose patience.

knickstr2166d ago

Well it's partly EA's fault for how they mishandle Bioware.

RazzerRedux2166d ago

Yeah, but EA would rather ruthlessly shut down a studio before admitting any of their own mistakes. They have done in before.

Fluttershy772166d ago

partly? It's completely EA's fault!!! Bio was amazing up until EA acquire them

ifrit_caress2166d ago

It's EA's fault as far as forcing the Bioware team to use the Frostbite engine. The rest of the fault/blame goes to Bioware's management team.

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.
