Why, I wonder where they got the idea of gigantic Wall that protects people from monsters. Where indeed.

Attack on Titan!

 

[Kssio_Aug]

For those hoping for a single-player rpg with story focus, I have bad news.



From Ars Technia

So through all the dry corporate mumbo jumbo, Anthem is going to be a "games as service" type of game.

What exactly should we expect? Free 2 play with things to buy? A subscription model? Or just something like Destiny?

That's been known since we first heard about it under its codename. Not sure what people expected.

I mean do you think they've only been working on this game since early 2016 or is it actually an Attack on Titan clone

*But actually it's from China, with the Great Wall.

 

[veloxStrix]

So they are rebooting the Mass Effect series? The whole "choices matter" and "the story doesn't end here" is really reminiscent of the first trailer for the original Mass Effect.

Why, I wonder where they got the idea of gigantic Wall that protects people from monsters. Where indeed.

I think the posts so far have concluded that "Giant wall keeping out threat" is not an original idea.

 

[CertifiedFP]

That trailer looked and sounded so generic. With generic writing to match.

This is what Andromeda died for?

maybe watch tomorrow instead of being debbie downer? how much writing was there in a 60 sec promo?

Certainly hope not.

Massive red flags from the writing already.

Is it a kaiju game?

LMAO!

I'm going with Matt Damon's The Great Wall

So what's the real answer Jett?

 

[psyfi]

I'm not a huge Bioware fan, but this looks dope. The art is amazing.

I am a HUGE Bioware fan and this still looks dope. Worlds collide...

 

[JeffZero]

I am a huge BioWare fan and I'm not thrilled this is a live service game but I'm keeping an open mind. Worlds collide and then get stalled in my gravity well, haha. Apologies.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

You have someone from Bioware saying it isn't exclusive. What are you talking about?

Hey Boom, you gonna be at E3?

Figures that out in the space of 60 seconds?

Game looks amazing from what I saw.

Why not all of them!

I was actually thinking of Game of Thrones at the time but the point is that it makes this thing look derivative. Guess you could say Destiny's Traveler is (was?) a metaphorical wall too.

Pacific Rim?

The rook is burning, so I assume the monsters break through like in Pacific Rim.

I thought someone in the thread mentioned it being exclusive to the Xbox platform. My mistake. I was just stating how that didn't make sense from a business standpoint.

Destiny also starts with your character walking through a wall.

I feel like the Western inspiration may trace back more to Hadrian's Wall, but yeah it's not like a super original thing.

I do think that it's going to end up drawing heavily from Destiny in some ways, though. Clearly designed to be that kind of animal.

Ah.. my first thought was Pacific Rim but thought that was a reach. Lol..

Eh.. Everyone deserves a wall story. I mean who doesn't like a good sturdy wall.

Could you imagine being a insurance company trying to insure all these walls? You'll go bankrupt on just one claim if anyone survives whatever the hell broke the damn thing.

Spoiler

Sorry, my mind drifted to real world logic.

 

[Muscle Wizard]

"Games as service" type games seem to be forgoing free to play status from what I gather. Perhaps the Destiny model, but that's kind of old fashioned with all the DLC and expansions you have to buy. My guess is it will involve lootboxes.

 

[JeffZero]

I'm expecting the monologue to be from the vanilla game's campaign ending, ha.

edit: beaten like a giant ape

 

[Ushay]

You figured that the game looked amazing in the space of 60 seconds?

Yes, from the visuals.

 

[Bishop89]

interested!

 

[Kyoufu]

I can't believe this is Xbox One exclusive. Amazing get for Phil Spencer. Hope he wears an Anthem shirt tomorrow.

 

[oneils]

The actor in the trailer almost sounds like Charlize Theron.

[Honey Bunny]

All that supposed writing pedigree and they leave us with the most over-used movie trailer cliche in history. Incredible.

GENERIC TRAILER GENERATOR ACTIVATED

This, wtf is this shit?

 

[Leona Lewis]

Wow, the BRRR sounds were so hype

I wonder who at Bioware came up with that

Never heard something so novel in a trailer before

Very intimidating and atmospheric

I want to hear more tomorrow

 

[sflufan]

I can't believe this is Xbox One exclusive. Amazing get for Phil Spencer. Hope he wears an Anthem shirt tomorrow.

Well, I'm glad that you can't believe it...because it's not.

[RPGam3r]

This, wtf is this shit?

A teaser for what is to come when it shows up at MS' showing?

 

[Chuck Norris]

"The story doesn't end here. It's just the beginning."

Wow. Such deep. So mystery. Many question.

 

[adj_noun]

Well, I'm glad to finally know more about this thing than "it has trees in it".

A little hard to say anything more until they show more of it.

 

[alt27]

Pretty poor teaser. Will wait for the gameplay reveal tommorow.

Hope they have sorted out their issues with Frostbite

 

[murdochmystery]

Certainly hope not.

Massive red flags from the writing already.

Massive red flags from a very basic teaser trailer?

You may be right. Well, anyway, tomorrow we will know. I'm intrigued though...

Ps4 literally in the title of this thread

...Did you not read the title or is this a joke?

 

[oneils]

lol at people thinking this is exclusive to one platform. The trailer literally says "4K not available on all platforms" at the end.

Interesting to see how it plays tomorrow. Destiny could use the competition.

This thread is so weird.

You don't even need to cite Shinobi. BioWare's director of marketing himself came into the thread and said so.
