New Bioware Game: Anthem

[Valmy]

So Bioware did not announce Dragon Age 4 but instead announced 'Anthem'. Which is sadly not about composing inspiring songs about the Ferelden Nation.

I have to say I feel really weird about it. I thought for a minute that the trailer was part of the game but then the characters started talking about getting XP and people logging in and I realized it was a multi-playing thing. So is this a shooter? A multi-player shooter? Is Bioware no longer making RPGs at all, I mean for what they could be considered RPGs?

AAA RPGS are pretty much dead again aren't they? Or maybe not and I just do not understand this game yet. It sort of looks like ME:A but I cannot look at it and not think Destiny. Not that I ever personally played Destiny but I have seen people stream it.

And Open World I can explore with my friends

The rumoured new BioWare IP has been revealed to be Anthem, a very Destiny-like "shared world" RPG, with co-op-me-do questing and looting. And also flying about on jetpacks.

Not what you'd expect to see from BioWare, perhaps, although it's not entirely clear what BioWare expects to be any more.

It's an utter buttfucking of the fans. Hooray.

[Razgovory]

Do they have a feature where all dialogue is spoken by voice artists and you don't hear teenagers talk about how high they are or how much they hate Black and Mexicans?

[Josquius]

MMORPG. Ugh. I thought that fad was done. Nope for me.
But then I still didn't finish the DA1 expansions let alone the sequels.

I always mentally disengage when I see a game touting, "Multiplayer focused experience! Geared towards Co-op!" Blah.

[celedhring]

DA:I felt at times like a single player MMPORG so I guess it was bound to happen.

Disappointing, but Bioware hasn't been Bioware for a while now.

As for AAA rpgs, There's always Projekt Red, if they can get something other than Witcher games (which I love) going. And there's always a chance Bethesda might conjure up decent storytelling and a combat system that doesn't blow.

Correct.  No interest in this whatsoever.

We're the last of a dying race...

True, it's officially EA now.

They have that cyberpunk project, I don't know much of it.

well, a properly modded Skyrim is quite allright.

[Grey Fox]

Games as a service.

Nope. Explore with your friends!

Speaking of Bethesda they claim that Elder Scrolls 6 is not even in development :boggle:

So um don't expect it anytime soon. I mean I am not exactly a huge ES fan or anything but that is the only games that Bethesda make that I am interested in playing.

Yeah, none of that pesky seeing friends in person. I just prefer to play in them video games where we are all situated in our own homes.
