Lead Platform for Anthem?
- Thread starter striderno9
- Start date
Exactly what I was thinking. If you want "ALL DA POWER" the PC is the obvious choice. Devs have already confirmed it will be running at 30fps on Pro and X and only PC gets the best graphics as well as 60fps.

Sorry for the confusing posts guys.
I meant what platform is the lead on development but also what platform are you getting it on.

would like to play on PC but my friends play on X1X so i have no choice in the matter :D
i think the lead platform was PC

Bioware have been showcasing the game using PC, so I guess that'd be the lead platform.
But yeah, asking both questions at the same time is not a good idea, especially since the poll is not related to the title at all.
Leading platform for EA games is always PC, they said it years ago. When they have marketing rights they show the PS4 version or Xbox version in public.

Got the game free on pc but will buy on xbox as all of our squad has moved primary console back to the beast that is the X. This game is about the bells and whistles so pc and Xbox for me.
You know what I really want more than anything. Someone please make cross platform account pleaeease.

If I buy Anthem it'll be on the best hardware I have, which is xb1x. But after being burned on loot based GaaS titles before, I'm holding out for at least 3 months to see how everything shakes out.

So, I don't speak for Bioware, but generally when working with Frostbite...
We don't do ports. Our Frostbite tools allow us to easily build and deploy our games for all 3 platforms at the same time.
Excluding marketing deals, public facing promotions, and platform specific features obviously, we prototype and develop on PC and then scale down stuff to make it run and play well on the consoles.
In that sense, just pick whatever platform works best for you. :)

PS4. Simply because they're the largest market share. I also think Anthem specs being above average(eg. requiring Windows 10) will be a soft deterrent.
As much as I like my PS4 Pro and my friend list in there i'll still be getting it on PC.
it's 2019 and games have no excuse to be 30fps anymore even on consoles.

Uh, what else would he say? Buy it for PlayStation?
All my friends are on PS4 so if reviews are good we may all get it.
Whaaat? You made it worse, bravo! It's impossible to answer both questions with one answer for many of us
This makes it more confusing as for lead platform the Pro is the option then not the base PS4.
Also where people are gonna play is also missing Pro and OG Xbox One. :D
I voted PC but I just remembered that my friends will play it on PS4, so PS4 I guess :p
Shouldn't be a big difference

Was not sure if PC or X1X. I have the feeling this game will really require max performance. But it will be X1X since quite a lot of my friends have decided to go for the X1X version. If I think about it, quite weird all my uber PC playing friends seem to have X1Xes.
He could say Xbox One, or Xbox One S. But that would be incorrect in that statement, as Xbox One X is the best console to play it. Not weaker consoles.
Exactly, EA is one of the fewest publishers that makes games first on PC and then on consoles and it shows, i've never seen a Frostbite EA games running poorly on PC compared to other games or engines from third party publishers and developers.
Il 2016 EA said that they make games for High-End PC first and then scale to consoles.
You can't play with SEA people and Koreans since they love PC or Origin is restricted to one country? I live in Italy, but i can play with Europe West and sometimes i see people from Europe East and Russia.
these consoles are still 2013 tech. and even in 2022 there will be games in 30fps on consoles
I think it uses gaussian DoF on all console versions same as Andromeda because that is how Frostbite games fare with the graphical improvements they're making as of late, but full on multisampled Cinematic DoF on pc. I'm going with pc. It has higher mesh detail and skin shaders, higher geomitry detail, better post-processing etc and runs 30fps at higher settings pretty stable on my GTX 1060 and I5-8400
People should care less about "which platform will win" and more about "which platform will have healthy playerbases for this multiplayer game"
And it seems all three will have it, be it on sheer number of users (PS4) or other factors (Origin/EA access for PC/xbox)

Well, no shit. (unless you count Dreams, heh)
The term is usually used to describe on which platform the majority of the optimizations were made. This is pretty common on consoles (see Resident Evil 2 Remake for instance, better on PS4 Pro besides the fact Xbox One X having the hardware advantage).
I'm so excited, all my close buddies who have been console only players for ages have gotten gaming PC's. And we're going anthem on PC. Which is something I would have had to go alone in the past.
That being said nothing would excite me more than having them get Crossplay working at some point soon. We are leaving a few people behind we'd prefer not to.

I wonder if he'd say the same about Ace Combat 7?
I don't think news from fanboys are solid source
The poll is exactly what I expect before voting lol. Definitely see a game like this being more popular/successful on PC then trickle down to whatever the more popular console (PS4) is.
Would love to get this on PC but most of the friends are going to be on PS4. Oh well I'm sure it'll be fun.
