[@Draikenx]

FlezzDurjis Well the good games they have made still out weigh the bad. I was very sad when E.A. bought them out. They have been on a steady decline since then. E.A. will probably close them down if this doesn't sell well. So I mite not have to walk away from one of my favorite gaming studios of all time after all. If this game bombs they will be shut down by E.A. anyways.

The fact he blamed zelda on andromedas reception showed they learned a lot since then! Lol

[@guywalker1196]

To be fair, he didn't work on MEA, his colleagues did. It's not really his place to criticise their work in public

[@blakechandler167]

SnakeDoctorSilver because the team that worked on Andromeda wasn't his and it's unprofessional and extremely rude to say that the team working on Andromeda sucked in public. Plus Breath of the wild was awesome.

[@coolerdan446]

Guy Walker To counter that, ME: Andromeda had a bigger market to cater to since it was sold on Xbox, Playstation, and PC that had hundreds of millions of customers. Zelda was only a Wii U and Switch exclusive, which had way less customers.

[@guywalker1196]

OriginaltheCreator I'd agree with that, but to be fair, the highest total sales for a Mass Effect game was about 6m units for ME3, which was considered extremely successful at the time (even with the ending debacle). I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Breath of the Wild shifted 10m units. So maybe Zelda does just have more appeal than Mass Effect as a series? They also both released around the same time as Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier: Automata which both were very well acclaimed. So I don't think it's out there to suggest MEA's release window had an impact on sales, given the strength of the competition. Either way, not debating MEA had its issues, I just wanted to point out it's really not Mark Darrah's place to be addressing them.

[@beowulf2251]

Sunil Mohan what happened?

[@roadogsc]

@@beowulf2251 to condense an article with over 9000 words in a couple sentences. Anthem was in development for 7 years, of that 7 years, it was in pre development for 5 and they only started making the game AFTER the E3 showcase. They did not even know what game they were making until that showcase. I would like to take a quick break and say that EA is not at fault for the disaster of anthem, the only thing EA did was put micro transactions in it. Basically, BioWare had free rein to do what ever they wanted and that was a disaster. Continuing on, the team at BioWare was not allowed to mention destiny or any other looter shooter or action RPG. This lead to them not being able to learn from the mistakes of past games. I would continue on, but I would like to send you to a really good KZbinr that can give you a more detailed and concise rundown of the article. Type in the search bar of KZbin "skill up anthem review part 2 post-mortem" after, maybe you could respond to me and say "Holly shit, EA did nothing wrong (this time)" have a good day.

One thing I have learned in development, is that failure is almost never the developers' fault. That usually is caused by either poor QA, poor management or poor design. None of which are developers' responsibilities.

[@sladeaf6279]

Dude it’s not the developers fault, I’m sure they poured there hearts into this. The problem was that EA was more focused on Multiplayer games ( they thought no one wanted single player stories anymore ) and since Mass Effect Andromeda is majorly a single player game they’re budget was cut short and I think they only got $40 million to work on the game with when naturally a great TripleA title would need like $250 million.

Nobody seems to be aware of this but there are multiple BioWare studios in Canada and the US, and BioWare Montreal was responsible for Andromeda. While I can’t remember the location of this studio exactly, this is most definitely not Montreal, and therefore it’s not really his law to criticize the games development, or say anything other than what he said here actually. This guy had no hand in that game, so he’s not responsible for it’s failures.

Jayboy Montreal was in Québec Canada. But still a shitty studio though. You’re right, Andromeda’s failure was on them, not EA, not Bioware Edmonton, Texas etc. I watched a little mini Documentary on Andromeda and Montreal and that team was extremely divided and on top of that, they were very Inexperienced. If they were Experienced and united on the project, it would have been an entirely different game.

Your statement would've been true if after the flute solo they splashed the game title and that was it, but the intention was to set the mood, and what followed was a kickass gameplay footage. what's really weird is your statement considering that pretty much all Sony's trailers included huge chunks of actual gameplay, something E3 2018 lacked heavily when it comes to big AAA titles.

I agree. Pvp would be pretty cool

[@travisl.2461]

Josh Bennett IMHO PVP is like a drug. When a company like EA is allowed to control a PVP game economy, they will abuse it to make money. They have very little track record of being responsible, and millions of gamers have fallen into the life sucking grinds they create and use to feed and teach addiction to younger audiences. The only way to succeed and gain a more positive position in the world of gaming is to avoid it all together and make better quality games with better narrative, like the Bioware of old. In the end, that is what people remember and value. Sure you could waste your life grinding through PVP, paying for expansions and accessories and end up spending your own or someone else’s hard earned money, but a good story and game world will leave you feeling far more satisfied with your life. Like comparing masterbation to a true relationship. No contest for me. I’m never going back to the PvP rat race.

[@galacticknight3058]

5:15 Does he throw shade bout D1 with TTK? I think this MAY have slipped beneath some ppl ! LOL

[@lonelyminotaur7135]

i caught that lol

[@jacklis1203]

"How destructible are the environments?" "There will be destruction." Classic EA

[@DerDudelino]

This was potentially the must funny interview I've ever seen from a game journalist. Chapeau!

[@noxinabox3506]

5:14 "Are you guys looking forward to overhauling all the game's systems in like a year and a half?" "I would hope not" AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH *cough* AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

[@automaticwriting4345]

"Will the game be good?" "No. *nervous laughter*"

[@James-kq7dq]

Wow no striders in game weeks after launch... how many times did he bring up the striders and then being a mini fort? 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@SynBlackblade]

What I wanted to ask was, will there be further land expansions because he said that there will be no deserts, no ice zones. So that begs the question that in the future will there be other zones like deserts or ice, or even will there be underwater combat. Learned a lot though but Im still a skeptic at this point.

[@TheDark3lement]

"no" "no" "not at launch" "no" "no" "not at launch" "not at launch"

[@JJFsixx]

These rapid questions are so good. It just makes sense these questions that are simple questions from the gamers and simple answers.

[@glockem13]

No underwater combat whaaaattttt 😥

[@jackzepelli1945]

If you understood how guns worked underwater combat would be impossible. Besides give them time and they could develop such things in the game. I am sure underwater combat is going to be a pretty big request when the game launches. They just need to figure out how to make it work and make sense at the same time.

[@glockem13]

Big Red I understand how they work perfectly bub I just like how the under water world is in this game there is fighting in the air on the ground I want fighting in the water simple as that

[@jackzepelli1945]

It'll happen in due time, they just have to do a whole lot of work to perfect the underwater fighting mechanic as I can imagine it is not easy.

[@glockem13]

Big Red Russia has an amphibious assault rifle so just saying guns do work just not all of em and fingers crossed 🙏🙏

[@jackzepelli1945]

Underwater monsters and combat movement are probably going to be the most challenging task. I am with you though underwater combat sounds incredibly fun and I hope they can ace it.

[@travismt0349]

I still don’t get why offline mode isn’t at least an option. I’m fine with online mode being an option, but why am I required to be online at all times?

[@ascended313]

Travis Tomison because they said the world is constantly changing

[@ivarherlitztenelius-4016]

Why is that a problem?

[@dmoneyswagg64]

Why is that even a problem? Do you not have a decent internet connection?

[@plentyofskill2735]

Its only online because people can join at anytime so it has to be online only

[@r0b0saurusrex80]

This format is a good test for how good a sport these people are... I like this guy.

[@jgn]

Can you solo the whole game? Bet my answer will be no, hopefully not

[@DirEnGay]

Of course you can. There's 6 difficulties though, and I'm pretty sure you're in for a headache if you try to solo dungeons on the 4th 5th or 6th difficulty.

[@seelrevilo5560]

Toast. yes NOPE the fortresses require groups of 4

[@DirEnGay]

Well I had a team of 4 on hard mode stronghold on the demo but my team left me solo and I completed it. Not sure if it can be started solo actually, the devs keep saying everything can be done solo. I completed the fucking thing but it took me like 2 hours because breaking shields on enemies on hard mode was taking me like 2 minutes per enemy. Very difficult, but I think the HP and damage of enemies is also boosted being in a group and when they left I think the enemies kept the boost.

[@seelrevilo5560]

Daemonshade it can’t be started solo unfortunately. It says you need a team to begin it, which sucks

[@George_Reyes]

5:06 “Is there a desert area”? “There is no desert area.” Aawww...That would’ve been fun, and it would’ve looked badass as hell :(

[@IonKattTMCE]

This game needs a desert, snow landscape, tech landscape, etc.

[@BlackWolf-el3gu]

It kinda of is deserted now

[@Olboync24]

So no 1080 60fps , and maybe 4k at 30fps ???? Why

[@meruneru20]

Console

[@LadyLucyna]

Those 30fps are more difficult to achieve than a higher resolution performance-wise. Also, he did say PC is not limited to 30fps.

[@stonedhomer621]

24 Hinterlands sounds pretty big.

[@Afinati]

Stoned Homer That's what you took out of the interview, how big the world is? How is that a thing people are excited about anymore ... and not instead worried about??

[@t-hummve4767]

“Have you killed anyone!?” “Are the cameras still on?”

[@badaboop2035]

I didn't know Game Informer had a channel, I like this style of questions c: its funny to see the reactions to questions too haha

[@Keilink]

Can you imagine one of these with NoManSky back in the day ? xD "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes ... Hmmmmmyes"

[@mark250]

Feels like the interview for no mans sky

[@Kfcbby33]

William E hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaa what?

[@mark250]

Casual Bird “feels like the interview for no mans sky”

[@dylanhumphrey2479]

Uhm. How.

[@DeathTempler]

Thinks the problem with Andromeda was it's release window? Listen, Titanfall 2 is a phenomenal game that launched with a very bad release window. Andromeda was poo poo.

[@ykiikii]

A very interesting interview, I'm really hyped for it! :D

[@harry1178]

I feel sorry for you, man.

[@magicmanscott40k]

Omg I would love it to see Isaac Clark in another game

[@FragrantVirgin]

2019 and people dont understand that people want an offline access to their $60

[@osobori]

That is literally a rule of mine. My games better be playable offline or you're getting $0 from me

[@ericoliver1603]

"Is this game like Destiny?" "This game is no like Destiny." *Game turns out to be like Destiny*

[@johnwheels89]

Nothing like destiny...infact anthem is a complete joke lol

[@francoisfourie3085]

Will the graphics be downgraded? "Yes"

[@elipsem1008]

Will they be downgraded but still good?-yes

[@Neopraxiss]

Working with nvidea, but what about other graphics cards? Such as amd?

[@NukeWand]

Fast editing like this is so amazing!

[@whoopityscoop5029]

He kept that $20

[@iv0rysh0es39]

Can we cancel and put the money towards Star Wars 1313 and Dead Space?

[@greg8996]

I know he is not part of the development team of Bioware but... Where is my Cory Balrog!?

[@sgtspoon2313]

cory barlog*

[@0for022]

“Are all aliens hostile?” “Yyyyyyeeeesss” Me: wait... *What about Owen*

[@ahsank.]

Can't believe this game came out in 2019

[@MCI-ReactGaming]

You can play solo, but it's harder to finish missions that way. Why not make it offline too then...smh online only kills it for me

[@Untld9]

- Jayden - i know i’m late but you’re right some dudes are just stupid and don’t fucking think before they talk

[@jas6853]

There’s matchmaking for everything

[@owenwestall6181]

@dianna k what are you even talking about? you can play it single player but not offline. How is it half finished?

[@DirEnGay]

It's a "games as a service" thing where all future DLC content will be free, kinda like Battlefront 2, Battlefield 5, Monster Hunter World, etc. which in itself wouldn't exactly make it impossible to play offline as long as you kept patching the game, but because this is basically a loot farming game the developers will never risk people exploiting/hacking/cheating offline then taking their progress online. Makes it pretty much impossible to stop cheaters if they do this. So why don't you join the rest of us in the 21st century already? Fucks sake...

[@DGenHero]

You know these questions are turning me off the game.

[@LazarheaD]

Atleast he's not No Man Skying it. Still meh...

[@DestinyDragonGod]

LazärheaD ?

[@armycrafter]

No PvP in Anthem? Did I hear that correctly? 6:20.. :(

[@Insomnia4321]

Go play blops 3 my guy this is a co-op game

[@drisk7691]

i feel ya man. that really blows. im looking for a reason to buy it, but still not finding one.

[@armycrafter]

@@Insomnia4321 Fair point - Just hadn't really caught it in any comms so far :/

[@armycrafter]

@@drisk7691 Yeah, same here! Love the atmosphere and really want to bring my friends here, but just a co-op story experience isn't going to keep us engaged for very long..

[@DirEnGay]

PvP looks like it would be a clusterfuck with the aerial movement and classes like that melee sword spamming flipping idiot. It would make the tank class and caster class that hovers in the air really slow be super weak to a player with good aim I think, not to mention the crowd controls in this game would be super annoying. I think lack of PvP is gonna close off a huge part of a playerbase that may have played this game, and it's gonna make loot farming feel a little less exciting if you can't test it in PvP, but think of it like Diablo 3. If they make you endlessly chase item upgrades, people can get addicted to that for years.

[@kalebdoom7944]

wait is Isaac clark’s suit/rig actually gonna actually be there because if yes i’m buying it

[@diobrando5993]

- Will the game be downgraded Dev: yea... no (Few months later) BIGGEST DOWNGRADE OF 2019

[@Moshpitbro]

Just compare gameplay from e3 2017 and now and just see how much they downgraded the shit out of it

[@syncotix6371]

Did you not see The Division downgrade

[@SirLazriel]

I would've asked if there will be more javelins

[@kalelson8861]

"Maybe in the future" Would be the response.

[@mf3738]

He said 4 At Launch Possibly meaning more javelins after launch

[@CaptainCharlotte69]

EA said all story DLC will be free and that Javelins don't count as story DLC. So there's your answer I guess.

[@XwindBro]

5:16 Hurt me straight in the destiny

[@koendeleersnijder]

I really like this format. Good job

[@SishGupta]

Please make this Q&A format a thing. I've got games to play!

[@pc-skilz9170]

Who else is here during the Beta testing
