Why the humanoid enemy have the same dead animation without ragdoll or anything? I really dislike this thing...
Ths shooting in destiny is much more punchy than this.
For now is the only thing that i dislike in the game...

I believe 4.
Hopefully that means when in free roam it will use some sort of instancing because I'd hate to come across a hard event but the 3 other people I got randomly chosen to play with are off also doing their own thing. But there's no really specifics I can find and I worry it has no modern mechanic, just slam you in a world with randoms and get on with it.
But this is a multiplayer game which is also releasing on PC with no text chat, a mistake made by D2 if I recall as well.
I'm not buying into regulations stating text chat must have Text-to-Speech for accessibility as an excuse to delaying it, because now you're making a game even less accessible by not having it for other disabilities. That's like cutting your nose off to spite the face as they say.
Oh God, that's how it's going to work, isn't it? I don't know if battlefield has phasing tech, but if not I doubt Bioware could even implement that. I'd applaud them if so. I guess they had to work around every problem because they couldn't build or use an engine designed for MMO gameplay.
The phrase "more fun with friends" the developers have been saying will really ring true I think. I honestly didn't think about phasing and the whole free roam and events thing.
Thankfully there's a demo coming and some user impressions before launch.
This is what has me worried. It feels good to play the character but to use it doesnt feel so good. Someone told me they tried the game and it felt like shooting/killing something just wasnt that good. Destiny for example, when you headshot something their head pop, some kind of smoke comes out of it, the npc screams and there's a poping sound.
All this makes for a really satisfying feedback to the player. In Anthem not so much. There's a serious lack of feedback from the enemies. Also, some of them just stand there, from that person's experience and from these recent videos.
This was also a problem with ME. And it feels like it's still here. Doesn't make the game horrible, no. It's still a lot of fun to play but it just means that Destiny will still be king in the gameplay aspect.
Maybe Anthem can compensate by having more content (which isnt difficult, at all).

so, to summarize: this game has no other players in the world when roaming solo and there are 4 players max in an instance when you matchmake? with "social spaces" devoid of players? generally, it is like Monster Hunter World?
Guys I think we need to stop comparing it to Destiny now. This game is straight Warframe.
All of that footage looked like a potential Warframe sequel or expansion, made by a company that didn't know Warframe existed.

Yes. You can start a mission solo in a private session if you want, or create/find open sessions to play with others.
That's the thing. People who keep comparing it to Destiny didn't know that Warframe exist.
The alpha we played had a shit ton of story beats that haven't been shown so that's a nope on talking about it.

Like i said before. People see a looter shooter and then compare it right away to the most well known out there. Where the game is way more Warframe/Monster Hunter.
But they see some futuristic game and think right away Destiny. Where the biggest difference is that Destiny is first person and this one third person. And thats just the start.
This must be the case because I don't know how anyone in this thread can look at that footage with a straight face and think of Destiny before Warframe if they are aware of both games.
Yes it's much more like monster hunter world. This game plays, operates and handles loot nothing like destiny. The comparisons literally stop at the aesthetic level.
I don't think MHW is a good comparison either, maybe it's similar on structure and progression, but gameplay wise they couldn't be more different.
Are you sure?
Yup yup.
Yeah, Anthem is a combination of various games and genres, from Destiny, Warframe, to Diablo and MH World.
Did it? I guess the first part. It seemed like the demo they played was the mission we got to do though.
How the game operates itself is akin to monster hunter world. How the game handles loot is like diablo. How the game plays is very unique with a hint of mass effect 3. The point is, Destiny is the incorrect comparison but is literally the only thing people say on this forum and the internet.

Not sure how old that poll is, but these new gameplay videos are making look the other classes way more flashy and fun, than colossus one.
Armor wise too, of course that "no one will play it" it's an exaggeration but what I mean is that won't be very popular. Tank classes are already not very popular on trinity systems and this one looks even less appealing. My 2 cents.
I'm going to need to see a lot more if I'm to be convinced that it has any of those other games' aspects in it. I mainly see Warframe.
Just show those individuals a clip of Warframe gameplay and Anthem side by side.

Yeah, I do agree that tank class is always the less popular in every MMO ever. But I think they managed to make the colossus appealing, from the very different physical build to exclusive access to heavy weaponry that no other javelin can access.
Can't wait. It's a game that my wife and I are looking forward to, and I'm sure we both will sink thousands of hours into it like we did Destiny. Speaking of Destiny, we both are ready to move on. Just waiting on the right game to push us over the edge. We both are hoping Anthem is that game (please be good).
EDIT: I'll be playing the Colossus. It's tank or bust for me. I'm sure my wife will play the interceptor, as she digs the rogue type classes.

Pretty much the first mission on easy difficulty. Of course it will be trivial early on. Don't want players getting nuked and moaning that the game is too hard.
Also, it's probably a big different if you solo and all the enemies focus on you and not getting Ulted by 4 players.
It just dawned on me watching the storm gameplay, but I just realized (despite having played the closed alpha but it was so limited it didn't jump on me right away) : they basically took ME:3's multiplayer and made a whole game out of it. I mean : the storm with his biotic-like powers, the interceptor with his vanguard-like (aka the GOAT) powers, the ranger with his more commando-like powers etc. and, that's, like...awesome ?!
Even the combo possibilities and all, it seems like they totally capitalized on the success of the ME:3 multiplayer mode and decided to go from there and expand it into a new game with even more RPG-like elements, a new world and everything. So hyped.

It's basically ME: Andromeda's combat amped up to 11 with mech suits. I know people didn't like Andromeda but its main redeeming factor was that it had some really fun combat and damn near improved on ME3's multiplayer in every way.
After buying Destiny, Destiny 2 and The Division on release, I am gonna sit on this for 6-8 months to see what they do with it, I ain't convinced so far from everything I have seen
Correct in part but it is the only military shooter in this space set in a familiar citie(s). The Division scratches a very different itch and their matchmaking makes for a more inclusive PvE experience. Also, going into the dark zone those first few weeks was one of the most tense and thrilling experiences this gen. Unfortunately it quickly went to shit due to cheaters and some poor gear design on their part.
Tanks class is always needed at endgame, but they're still not popular. The main reason is that a tank has huge responsibilities to keep the party alive, and people prefer DPS class because it's the easiest role and DPS classes are usually cool.
The Colossus has really grown on me in the last month and I like them more everytime I see them and will probably be my 2nd unlocked Javelin. I generally like playing Rogue/Ninja type classes in game but the Interceptor is oddly the least appealing Javelin to me but maybe it is one of those things you just have to play to understand.

I thought this too before I played the game. All I'll say is - Anthem plays better than it looks, for sure.
Not saying this couldn't ring true for the rest of the game, but this is literally the first mission in the game. I doubt they want enemies that will be doing back flips on you and shooting homing missiles while you are still trying to learn how to fly and hover
If I'm not mistaken I believe the interceptor stream is at 60. The last IGN video was as well.
I'm just not sure how anyone can watch a clip and tell how it feels. Some of the guns sound really quite punchy to me. I watched an untimely alpha video and the AR in that was crunchy and slow firing. I guess I'm telling myself how they feel. š I can't wait to try them myself.

This game looks so good, but I finally realize why I'm hesitant. I kept on hearing the Warframe comparison, "this game looks like X + Warframe" and I'm finally seeing it from the movement and the weightless gunplay. The guns don't look like there is any kick to them. Also so far the quests look like it is "Go to X, fight a wave, repeat 3 times." Which once I started noticing that pattern in Destiny I would understand which encounters I could totally run by.
I'm truly on the fence with this one.

For me I draw the comparison because Destiny 2 is just something I've played pretty passionately for up to 1,000 hours. And it obviously strikes me as similar in a few very specific ways. The thing is I want this to do better and be better. I feel like it's time for another title worthy enough take that crown. For me personally there simply isn't enough room for both of these games.
If you havent seen this id recommend watching. Goes into a good amount with progression, loot and builds etc.
thanks for the good news but the lack of ragdoll or different dead animation is pretty clear on that video and i hate this aspects in every game when i have to shoot things...
Oh hey Nosleep :D From D2 to Anthem? I can't wait to do the same myself. I'm excited for the Storm myself, just being a big floaty space wizard, priming enemies with my abilities so that my team mates do more damage to them sounds awesome to me.
As someone who spent a good amount of hours (on PC) in the closed Alpha... i echo this.
My only "real" concern is now end-game content. I just hope there is loads to do immediately at elder-game (which is what they're calling it i believe). I dont want to have to wait for the "raids" to be added... but if i have to that wont be horrible as i'll be playing Division 2 as well. Overall Anthem is going to be a lot of fun for me personally!
For sure. Firedragon? š I have to remember that I'll see a lot of us here as well. I'm so jazzed for this game. I've been following every trickle of info for the past few months. I have a really good feeling. We'll have to get up for some high level weekend stuff again.
