Electronic Arts and Bioware have released a new video, showing 20 minutes of gameplay footage from the E3 2018 demo of Anthem. In this video, Lead Producer Ben Irving takes us through a 20-minute Anthem gameplay demonstration, originally shown at the E3 hands-on showcase in which we’ll discover more about the traversal, combat, and teamwork on display as a team of four Freelancers complete the mission “Scars & Villainy.”
In Anthem, up to four players explore and battle in a dangerous, mysterious place populated by great characters and a unique BioWare story. Players will also create stories of their own while they play, so no two journeys are the same. Javelin exosuits make their pilots powerful heroes in the world, with awesome weapons and incredible special abilities that allow for combat and exploration in a hostile environment. Players will be able to customize and personalize their suits with unique paint jobs and gear so they’ll have the right tools to confront almost any situation, and look good doing it.
Anthem will be always-online, though it will offer solo play. The game will not feature any loot boxes, however it will have cosmetic and vanity items available for purchase.
Anthem is currently scheduled for a February 22nd release.
Enjoy!

This is all so unrealistic. They must think people are d umb.
Unfortunately this is true. According to EA’s Annual Financial Reports their revenue for the last few years ranged between 4.5 and 5.2 billion dollars each year and their net profit ranged between 875 million and 1.2 billion dollars. They are very successful at fleecing their customers. As much as I would like to see them suffer for their business practices and ruining some Developers they nevertheless have a loyal following of gamers that will buy the games they publish year after year.
Anthem must be the most boring video game ever announced as “action”. I struggle to think of ways to make it more boring. Unskippable cutscenes, I guess.
“Javelin exosuits make their pilots powerful heroes in the world”
Yes. Too powerful. What NPC could stand in your way, other than a bullet sponge that hits hard? Contemporary FPS AI amounts to standing around and shooting back at a nimble player running laps around it. The “smartest” game creatures are somewhat mobile and exhibit basic group coordination (as in, not running into each other). Now, to deal with a player flying anywhere at any time you would have to not only allow the NPCs to do the same, you’d have to teach them to do it in a way that gives the player a challenge. Not going to happen. Bioware will just fill this jungle paradise with slow walking and swimming bullet sponges like you see in the footage. That’s it. That’s the whole game. A shooting gallery that fails to fight back. Additional difficulty via bigger health pools, higher damage output. That’s it. Definitive proof that video game AI hasn’t moved an inch in over a decade.
hey dont talk about far cry :p. the only game in the series i liked was the first one. on the hardest difficulty i just loved it like no other FPS. the next ones were so easy and so different it was maddening.. dont get me wrong nothing wrong with them i suppose. but from a hardcore action shooter game like far cry 1 to the other loot based rpgs with some shooting on the side.. no thanks

It is the best national anthem of all national anthems IMO. So much pride, power and passion for the motherland in both the baroque orchestral and the aspiring lyrics; particularly in the 1944 version.
