Support NeoGAF

[Wagram]

Should have saved it for Microsoft's conference. Would have been a big moment for them, but the cats out of the bag.

 

[dr_rus]

Yep, that's a Destiny clone. First time I'm not interested in a new Bioware IP, even TOR had my interest up till some point.

 

[JeffZero]

Yeah, the trailer seemed about as generic of a mashup of other popular games (Horizon/Destiny) as you could get. And based off of the leaks about how this will play and how EA has set it up as more an action game than a proper RPG, that's just not what I want and/or expect out of a BioWare game.

I'm not coming to a BioWare game for amazing visuals and tight gameplay. If they're there, that's fine, but I'm playing a BioWare game for a great story and great characters and all that RPG stuff you expect. Considering those have been lacking in recent BioWare titles to varying extents and how this is getting pitched... well, I guess I can hope they don't turn Dragon Age 4 into an online loot shooter.

Absolutely. Agreed all-around. I have a feeling DA4's the next big BioWare game for you and I.

Plus I, a person who works at BioWare, am literally telling you guys it is NOT exclusive

wat

 

[Nategc20]

We are never going to get a sequel to Jade Empire at this rate, are we?

I dont want this Bioware to ever touch their old IPs.

After EAs buyout, they became a joke.

 

[HighResTomato]

What makes people think this is EA's Destiny. The trailer didn't reveal fucking anything about the game, just some mech suit.

 

[Sjefen]

Really hoping for an epic RPG with no loot boxes, microtransactions, fetch missions, towers, stupid sidemissions, multiplayer....

Haha, don't ruin the fun.

 

[NHale]

Plus I, a person who works at BioWare, am literally telling you guys it is NOT exclusive

Why would I believe you instead of NeoGAF?

I for sure know everything shown at Microsoft E3 press conference is exclusive, as always, like Metal Gear Solid V was exclusive that even Larry Hryb confirmed the exclusivity. Until today you clearly can't find a PS4 copy in the wild. That's impossible.

Hmmmmmmmm, you may know something about this.

 

[Arklite]

Co-op sexual encounters could be fun.

New meaning to raids, huh

 

[jackdoe]

it's not exclusive. Pretty obvious

Shit, there were a good number of people who believe that a ridiculous 4chan Monster Hunter rumor is 100% true because the least insane part of the rumor may be true. It's not that out there that some people might think that a large budget, new IP launched by EA in the middle of a console generation would be exclusive to a platform with the smaller marketshare.

 

[Y2Kev]

Yeah but Calm Mind said it is exclusive so

Obviously this thread is going to be 900% talking about whether or not it is exclusive. Just stop please.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Obviously u didn't read anymore of my posts after that because I said I was being sarcastic and basically picking fun of fanboys when they say Xbox has "no games"

 

[Nabbis]

Yep, that's a Destiny clone. First time I'm not interested in a new Bioware IP, even TOR had my interest up till some point.

Given how well Bungie handled Destiny, it needs a competent clone.

 

[hydruxo]

Should have saved it for Microsoft's conference. Would have been a big moment for them, but the cats out of the bag.

Yeah I agree. Should've just showed that teaser and then hopped into the gameplay at the MS conference.

Oh well, still looks cool though and I'm looking foward to seeing more.

 

[diaspora]

Gameplay is tomorrow?

Dont need to be competent to make money

 

[brawly]

If it's exclusive it should be Scorpio exclusive, I know that won't happen though.

That's how you kill a studio.

 

[Rexatality]

The latter is misinformed like a lot of the time

 

[plasmawave]

Plus I, a person who works at BioWare, am literally telling you guys it is NOT exclusive

It is.

 

[Hopeford]

I'm a sucker for the "trapped inside a wall" concept so this looks fun to me, especially if ends up being story heavy like Bioware games usually are.

 

[Dynomutt]

What makes people think this is EA's Destiny. The trailer didn't reveal fucking anything about the game, just some mech suit.

They mentioned a Wall.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The Beta and DLC will probably be exclusive to Microsoft... For two weeks.

 

[Falchion]

Looks like a mix of Destiny and Titanfall which is cool.

 

[Arklite]

Makes me wish for a new Tribes game.

 

[Horp]

Uh, I'm excited to hear more about this, but did anyone else have the stream glitch where they played a trailer for Destiny instead of Anthem?

I had that, but it was somehow in current gen graphics instead of last gen. Interesting!

 

[fantomena]

It is.

Do you work at Bioware too? Cause if you both work at Bioware, I think you guys have things to discuss.

 

[HighResTomato]

Gameplay is tomorrow?

Well after we see the gameplay people can be like "yep destiny/titanfall/halo clone" but so far we don't know and people are shit posting about it.

 

[Forsaken82]

When all you have to go by is a 20 second teaser trailer that shows genre similarities, people gravitate to the most recent comparison they can think of.

In this case, Destiny.

When they show gameplay during the Xbox Conference, you will get new comparisons.

 

[mejin]

That's how you kill a studio.

and that's an expertise of Microsoft.

[Toki767]

Looks interesting. I'm in if it's an RPG.

I might be out if it's too multiplayer focused though.

 

[codemonkey]

I'm a sucker for those types of sci-fi settings so I'm intrigued definitely, although you can't really say much from this short teaser trailer. I will have to tune in on the Microsoft conference to see more.

 

[Floody]

What makes people think this is EA's Destiny. The trailer didn't reveal fucking anything about the game, just some mech suit.

Old rumour I believe.

edit: said rumour

"Dylan is, from what I understand, a sci-fi themed game, it is sort of Destiny-style, takes some elements from The Division, it has like MMO elements. Someone described it as a 'semi-MMO'.

 

[Baroquemantic]

and that's an expertize of Microsoft.

Eh, Sony's probably closed just as many, unfortunately.

 

[Dinda]

I have to wait until the Microsoft Conference, but i'm so disappointed if this really is just a Destiny like Shooter. RPG Elements etc...yeah, but that's not enough for me, i want a real RPG.
That Power Armor stuff didn't instill me with confidence.

Oh well, at least they are working on Dragon Age 4.

 

[Cthuluhoop]

Wow it isn't exclusive. What has happened to GAF? The marketing director has directly told you all it isn't exclusive but you continue to act like it is. Fuck.

 

[Irishonion]

I'm down if it's third person.

 

[bebop242]

Looking forward to seeing more of this tomorrow. Personally glad there will be a seemingly direct competition to Destiny.

 

[Eccocid]

the wall and giant animals reminded me Attak on Titan more thn Destiny.

Shinobi says it's not an exclusive.

 

[BizzyBum]

Why even show anything, what a waste of time.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

I hope there are some Blue Cross™es and Blue Shield™s!

https://twitter.com/shinobi602/status/873634933700481030

Shinobi says it's not an exclusive.

Bioware says it is not exclusive.

But, let's move on from this.

 

[Sjefen]

From Shinobi tweeter:

Seems to be some confusion from some followers.

Anthem is not Xbox exclusive.

 

[Vire]

I don't like the armor design at all... everything else was fine.

 

[fantomena]

https://twitter.com/shinobi602/status/873634933700481030

Shinobi says it's not an exclusive.

Well we have the marketing director of the game in this exact thread saying it.

 

[somecrazymember]

People saying its exclusive,
Other people saying it's not exclusive.

Does anyone actually know it or you guys are just guessing?
