As someone with a friend named Dylan, this seems interesting and I'll be looking forwarding to seeing more tomorrow, but my friends and I are very disappointed it's not named Dylan.

So...a Destiny challenger I assume? Please don't be a FPS pray to god!!! I'm giving Bioware the benefit of the doubt anyways since that's not their forte...

Is it weird that the game's website is on EA.com with no Bioware logo anywhere on the page while there's nothing on the game on Bioware.com?

I mean ME2 could have been better, but it wasn't that meh.

What team of BW you are talking about? People behind MEA are now support team. Anthem is done by Dream Team that has all most talented BW people on it.
 
it's all playable terrain

It's not the same people. The team that made Andromeda was an all new team of developers that have basically been disbanded already. The team making Anthem is the original Mass Effect trilogy team.

Could be interesting. Looking forward to see more.

Also, I don't get why people bring up destiny. Nothing about that reveal reminded me of Destiny. A wall, a big alien monster, some sort of mech/armour.
It's as much Halo or Lost Planet as it is Destiny.


Also doubt it's MS exclusive. Everyone forgetting all those times Sony and Bungie showed and talked about Destiny as if it was Ps4 exclusive.?

It's a temporary teaser page.

Meaning they made it in about an hour and just forgot to put Bioware logo on it?

Is there any actual evidence for this or are people just saying it because it makes them feel better?

Main Bioware studio is in Edmonton. This is where all games were made prior to SWTOR which was developed and is supported by a second Bioware studio in Austin. Mass Effect Andromeda was developed in a new Bioware Montreal studio so yes, there's a clear evidence that MEA wasn't the main Edmonton team game.

Note however that I don't count this among the reasons of MEA failure. It doesn't matter where a game is developed, what matters is management and direction. With the same mistakes applied to Anthem it will inevitably turn out just as badly as MEA.

Team that barely got one game together and out and are trying to support have already developed another full AAA game for late 2018 to early 2019 release? Dylan aka Anthem was delayed to that window, if I remember right.
