[@sarcasm-83]

Coming back to this, I feel like it's criminal that all they shot was reduced to under 4 minutes and even more criminal that the dev/publisher didn't have anywhere near the amount of passion as the crew did that put this all together. So annoying that they just abandoned the game after promising to polish and re-work it to a more satisfying state, as this all had tons of potential..

[@battlehenge4]

Imagine if this team and the one making the Halo Tv series got together and made an Anthem series?

[@robbanks808]

Ive played almost every loot shooter and the iron man vibes to anthem is still unmatched imo. Warframe for example had a bad start too and look where it is now just because people kept playing it. And just like in Destiny, you cant fly in Warframe so thats an easy win for Anthem. A huge amound of people still watching youtuber coming back to this masterpiece in 2022. I remember other devs coppin abilitys from this game to keep their players hooked after you guys released it and that says a lot about Anthem! Fr they just need to throw in first person view on expos with more focus on weapons and environment like destiny. (maybe VR in future) Reduce overheating on all javelins and reload time on all guns and no reload cancel on all actions. More weapon types, more abilitys plus bigger weekly offer in shop slowly start from there with DLCs and Im sure the game could become on of the best loot shooter out there. After almost 10k hours on loot shooter im 100% sure this game is the game. I really hope someone will wake them guys up and make em see the potential.

Exponent Eel it’s a fun game to say the least. But had so so many flaws. If a sequel was one day to be made. Now that they know what they want and could work on it properly. It would be more than 10 fold the game as it is now. As thats said however after the mess up with Anthems state. No one in their right mind would blow another 60 dollars for a sequel when the first was never finished to begin with. Now I just hope they can pull it together and be the next rainbow six of comebacks or a new no mans sky.

[@MagikFingers420]

What happened?

[@pixelhotdish]

@@MagikFingers420 This is a pretty long post, I try to give the full story, but there are probably youtube videos out there that cover the full thing in a more entertaining way. I also link the Jason Schreier article at the bottom that goes over the full story... My final paragraph covers what happened after that article was released until current day. I also link some of the items I reference if you want to dig deeper... it is a pretty interesting story, although pretty disappointing. Anthem was a game released by Bioware, and was their first attempt at launching a new IP in many years. There was a ton of buzz about the first real new IP from the team that created Dragon Age and Mass Effect (among other massively successful games), and this being a "live service" game it meant that we would get a game on the level of Dragon Age or Mass Effect... but we get ongoing support and new content. The trailers all had really impressive visuals, and promised an in depth story in an interesting world, and the E3 showcase showed players essentially taking the role of different classes and variations of Ironman to kill massive monsters. It was shaping up to be an exciting launch. When the game launched, players were extremely disappointed by the state of the game in general. People generally agreed that the game felt great, flying was amazing, the abilities of the different classes were fun, and the general look of the game was well executed. The issue was that there wasnt much to do in the game because missions were short and repetitive, character and world building felt rushed or not existent, and the primary weapons you got throughout the game lacked in variety and punch. The game bugs ranged from annoying to game breaking, there were regular server disconnects, and you would regularly lose progress after game crashes. People began to wonder what happened here, was the wrong game sent out? Surely they didnt mean to send out a game that was half baked, broken, and poorly executed.... [1] Then Jason Shreier dropped a massive article that began to shine a light on exactly what happened... players started getting their answers. I will link it below, but provide a TLDR. The article basically highlights that for the 6 years of development time, the game spent most of its life in "pre-production". The team spent a majority of time wrestling with the game engine, trying to get the game to feel fun, and trying to figure out what kind of game this was even supposed to be. The E3 showcase from 2017 had a lot of players excited to see more [2], but behind the scenes the dev team was scrambling to get a working prototype together. At the point the public were beginning to visualize what this game was, the dev team still had zero direction. The developers didnt even know the name of the project. When the public heard the name Anthem for the first time, it was also the first time the dev team had ever heard the name. It would be revealed that of the 6 years of dev time many thought Bioware had, the final released game spent just 18 months in actual development. The article goes into a ton of details around developer burnout, "stress leave" where devs would take time off then just never come back, leadership issues.... literally every facet of development suffered because of one reason or another. Developers, both new and old, were leaving Bioware in droves because of the terrible work environment and lack of accountability within Biowares and EAs leadership. It was a mess. The final part of the story is that they promised to fix everything and relaunch the game in a better state, calling it Anthem 2.0 or Anthem NEXT (both titles were used). In the meantime though, they would be updating their blog and social media posts, releasing bug fixes and small content updates to keep players in the loop. If you visit the Anthem blog now [3] the last post you see is the 1 year celebration post, and some news from Feb 25th, 2020. There is some content updates there, some challenges, store and currency updates... the usual live service stuff. After a while the updates stopped coming, and on February 24th 2021 the director of "Anthem 2.0" would announce the project had been cancelled and no more updates would be released.... effectively killing the game completely. The team cited Covid being one of the major factors for development stopping, as well as the future of Dragon Age and Mass Effect titles beginning production. They didnt have the resources available to focus on making Anthem as success. So there you go! Bioware is currently building the next Dragon Age game entitled Dreadwolf [4], as well as the next Mass Effect game (name unknown right now) [5]. In the last couple days Bioware announced they are laying off roughly 50 developers in an effort to make a shift towards a more "agile and focused" studio, claiming that this studio change is "not only necessary, but unavoidable" [6]... People are hoping that this isnt a continuation of the downfall of a once beloved studio, but some of those let go were veteran writers and producers with a long history at Bioware.... so it is at least a little troubling. I hope that covers anything. Links to related videos and blog posts below.

@@ONIrepresentative Sadly the story is worse than that, after the initial bad launch, bioware were working on a massive update to make the game great and fix all the criticisms they had gotten, but after about a year or so EA pulled all funding from the project and left anthem to be forgotten. I personally thought anthem has soooo much potential, it looked great, the gameplay was solid and the gameplay loop hit a scratch only destiny had hit prior. but the games flaws dragged it down and it never got the redemption it deserved. I wish it could've done what cyberpunk did but now we will never know.

This live-action short invites viewers to experience Blomkamp’s unique style of creating photorealistic visual effects and bringing them seamlessly into the real world.

Why the fuck couldn’t this be a movie I’d rather have watched a movie of this than played the game. It’s so disappointing, and yet unsurprising that Anthem turned out the way it did. I wasn’t a fan before, but by canceling the 2.0 update, it completely voided any chance I would have given to try this again. I can only imagine how disappointing it is for any of those currently playing. This universe had so much potential to be expanded upon - just look at what they were able to produce in this trailer before the game’s release. In canceling their plans to release Anthem 2.0, the game’s fate has been sealed. They plan to keep the servers running for sometime, but with no new content being produced I can only imagine how long people will stay. Just sucks for everyone. So much talent. Fuck EA.
