If Anthem is really a Spring 2018 title, then I see DA4 launching mid-to-late 2019 as a pretty safe bet. I think chances are good that we will see another Dragon Age before 2020.

Blah.
I should've expected this from EA's 'new IP AAA' stable. :/

Yep. If this holds true, it'll be remarkable how many Dragon Age fans pegged it right back in 2014-15 when Inquisition was fresh and "2019" was a popular pick for a sequel.

I guess Bioware Montreal's claims that Edmonton would periodically take stuff from development of ME:A was true.

i'm mad so many people quoted this without realizing its a destiny reference
*Insert last years Uncharted meme*
This feels like it has Scorpio written all over it. But it needs gameplay footage.

What can we expect from the gameplay? I skipped Mass Effect 3, was it an improvement to ME2s gunplay/gameplay.

Spoiler alert: Studios/teams share resources all the time, much more so if they're under the same publisher.
I think it's funny. :lol
It was.

But to the detriment of another product isn't good.

I'd wait until tomorrow before judging. A teaser really isn't much to go by.

Hmmmm I don't see the destiny comparisons. Also lool if any of MS exclusive post were legit.
It's just another discussion topic some people find interesting. You doesn't have to matter to people for them to have an interest in discussing it.

Like the name, but reeeeeally hoping its not too similar to Destiny.

Destiny is about humanity building a wall to protect itself from the horrors beyond and sends armored warriors out to fend them off, which is the same setup that Anthem is using. Even before the reveal, Dylan was constantly touted as Bioware and EA's answer to Destiny.
It premiering at the Microsoft event draws even more association to Destiny in that since Microsoft missed the boat on exclusivity and marketing rights to Destiny that they may want Anthem to be "their Destiny", so they will be the only ones to market it and kick money to EA to get exclusive goodies made for it (for one year maybe).

I'm actually kind of surprised we're actually getting gameplay tomorrow. Didn't they delay this game until late next year or even longer?
But it's going to be similar to Destiny but with more focus on story? Hopefully they show actual Scorpio footage. MS doesn't usually have that do they? Things like "all captured from Xbox One."?

With the way Mass Effect: Andromeda kept itself hidden until six months from release, it's good to get an actual feel of the game sooner.

There will be loots.. and skills. Also Bioware, most probably RPG flesh and bones.

that's an ameazing image tho.
if it was able to hold that level of detail in game how that shot works = eyegasm
Was delayed until at least spring 2018

Oh man I completely agree with that.
I just read on previous page it's planned for Spring next year. Sounds good but yeah we'll see. Games get delayed so easily nowadays, and they already did delay it once.
It was delayed into FY2019,which means April 2018 through March 2019. This actually tracks with the alleged Spring 2018 release listed on the YouTube channel, although I'm anticipating a delay into Fall 2018, personally.
What if the game is Ayn Randian science fiction? Like, you're being hunted and must defend yourself against collectivist socialists, out to destroy your capitalist utopia?
Destiny didn't create this cliche. Its a common setup in fantasy/sci fi.
Armored heroes setting out to protect humanity from "the horrors beyond" describes almost everything ever.
The game obviously will have structural similarities to destiny, but i dont see how anyone can look at this trailer and get Destiny vibes.

Oh really?
My apologies, I was clearly mistaken.
(My gut response was that I like the name. It's anthemic and things.)
yeah i really hope that's representative of the actual game. i want to jetpack through huge awesome environments like that

I was thinking, what if that was shot form Scorpio in game?
Its fun to have dreams.

I'm actually hyped. If I had to make a guess, it looks like this last bastion of civilization is hidden behind the wall here with the constant threat of the monster we saw here and other beasts.
To fight them off they created these mech suits in which to do battle.
I'm expecting a third person view action title with a solid story seeing who they have writing it.
Can't wait to see it tomorrow at MS' conference.😁

Ironically it would be crowdfunded
It seems you can actually go to that mountain in the background.

Wait wait wait?
You have Jetpacks in this game...and they actually work like...jetpacks that let you FLY rather then the stupid "hover" that almost every game does???
Yes, instant buy!
And like Iron Man. Fucking awesome indeed.
Yeah same here man. But if it does make Spring that would be great. But first let's see the game tomorrow before even looking forward to it. It's time for BioWare to shine again. Been a while.
EA/Bioware start out trying to be "Bob Dylan" and then name their game after a Good Charlotte song. Good going everyone. While I'm almost certain it wont be the "Bob Dylan" of video games, it looks likely to live upto its name as the Joel Madden of gaming.
Ps. If you are going to be this obvious, why not just call it "Density"

It's hard not to make comparisons to destiny but we've seen next to nothing. Let's see what you have to show us bioware.
