Could Anthem Be a BioWare Killer?

BioWare hasn't been itself lately. Things have seemed to gradually get worse for the developer, and Anthem doesn't seem like it has the hype necessary to help the studio perform a 180.

Naw, that's EA's job. I'm sure they'll sell millions upon millions of copies day one though, they'll be fine.

If anything they might downsize and combine their teams after the Andromeda fiasco.

Parasyte2287d ago

They already closed the studio that made Andromeda

Araragifeels 2287d ago

Objection! BioWare Montreal merge with EA Motive Studio so it was not closed down.

fenome2287d ago

I didn't know that, doesn't surprise me one bit though.

bluefox7552287d ago

I'm sure EA will do that for them. Would be great if it were an EA killer though.

I always thought MS should have had the sense to buy Bioware. They were a good fit together.

InKnight7s2287d ago

I hope they keep this game as awesome as they showed in the trailer, I mean it seems we finally will get a proper flyer game instead of glides, and solid battle system.

fenome2287d ago

I'm cautiously hopeful on this one, the reveal looked badass. I'm just worried they're going to gut it trying to get people to spend more. I hope they don't though it looks really good, I'm way more into third person perspectives than first person shooters too.

PUBG2287d ago

It's a foregone conclusion that they are going to monetize this game to the max. Don't buy into the hype train until we find out everything about this game. Personally, I think this game is going to be a grind-fest. From the trailer at E3, everything centered around the players talking about upgrading their equipment. The only thing that looks good about the game so far, are the graphics.

fenome2287d ago

I'm definitely taking the wait and see approach with this one.

FinalFantasyFanatic2286d ago

I want it to be good, I'm cautiously optimistic they will not mess this title up. I want my Iron Man power armor fantasy fulfilled. Everything they showed in the trailer looked so cool, I'll be disappointed if the game is over monetized or terrible.

USMC_POLICE2287d ago

I don’t understand people’s excitment for this game, did you see NFSP and SWBF2? They will ruin it with micro transactions.

Vectrexer2287d ago

Well if the E3 trailers are an indication of just how the game will play it's a day one purchased for me.
It's a shame, Mass Effect held so many great memories and Andromeda destroyed them...

NarooN2287d ago

I don't see how anybody can be like "day one buy bro!" for any game these days, let alone a Bioware/EA game. Andromeda was a disaster and every other EA game has been controversial for all the wrong reasons. I doubt this game will go by unscathed.

FinalFantasyFanatic2286d ago (Edited 2286d ago )

I guess it depends on the development team or the series, I'd buy a new Persona game day one, I used to buy a new Final Fantasy game day one (not anymore though). Some games are consistent enough that I feel safe to plonk down my cash for it, other times I wait for reviews or see what everyone else thinks (I waiting a long time after Destiny 2's release and tried the demo, glad I didn't end up buying it even though I strongly considered it).

Vectrexer2286d ago

Well bro I bought many many games day one without any regrets. The fact that you don't understand this is on you.

Andromeda was definitely not day one for me although I did purchase it an extremely cheap price later I feel it wasn't worth that price either.

So it's never just any game that's a day one purchase I look into every aspect I can before purchase and 9.5 times out of 10 it was a right call for me.

combatcash2287d ago

The E3 trailer looked amazing, simply stunning. It looks like a day one for me too. Don’t get all the disagrees, if Sony was publishing it, people would be jizzing all over the place with excitement,

Anthem Sold A Solid 5 Million Copies In Its Lifetime

The multiplayer action RPG shipped a whopping 2 million copies in its first week alone.

JEECE126d ago

A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."

RiseNShine126d ago

I don't know if it's still possible, but if it still works, PLAY IT. It's a fantastic RPG on it's own, incredible graphics and story, well worth the Bioware name, i don't know how bad it was on release, but when i played years later it was a great single player RPG well worth playing.

ChasterMies126d ago

This a good example of why you should be hesitant to buy a game at launch.

--Onilink--126d ago

Its has been on sale multiple times for like $2-3… and even when not that aggressively dropped, it is usually in the under $10 category of any sale

BlackCountryBob126d ago

That’s good, but also worth pointing out that after maybe 3 months on sale, this game was selling for about a tenner. Reminds me a bit of Days Gone, good sales overall but only after huge discounts so unlikely to make large profit

What a shitty f***** list! Most of the games on it were great fun. Bullshit list.

chantii_mmohaven469d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad469d ago

I think the only one I agreed on was Anthem, and even that isn't horrendous.

Knushwood Butt470d ago

Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.

Cueil468d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx469d ago

"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.

blackblades469d ago

$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit

monkey602469d ago

I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.

Aloymetal994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.

P_Bomb994d ago

I’ve overindulged too! Gonna pump the brakes on this next round. Unless there’s a PS+ discount. Need a cheap sub for my kid so I’m not always changing primaries.

solideagle994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

could you please suggest good indie games (which are on sale)? I love JRPGs or action RPGs but I can play almost any genre e.g. Transistor is £3.74 which I think is a steal :)

shinoff2183994d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

Old school jrpg try cosmic star heroine I really like that one

Aloymetal994d ago

Disco elysium, man eater, inside, limbo
Dead cells, observer, to name a few

LoveSpuds994d ago

Don't sleep on Darkest Dungeon, Child of Morta or Spiritfarer.

Although it won't be on sale, the best indie I have ever played is release in a week or so, it may be 20 quid but you have to play Hades.

GhostofHorizon994d ago

Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.

ElvisHuxley994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.

Hellcat2020994d ago

The second phase of sales is for all regions
It's just not yet showing up in the ps store

Servbot41994d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai994d ago

I can’t believe they’re still trying to sell it

BioShockGX994d ago

Got Anthem for $5 last year. Not a bad game for that price lol

ElvisHuxley992d ago

Appreciate the downvotes folks. I guess merely asking a question bothers the incredibly mature users here.

I might finally go for Black Desert. I've been playing ESO (without MTing my characters) for some throw away entertainment, but the combat is so "#$&&%.

Servbot41994d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast994d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu994d ago

I tried BDO a few months ago. It's a decent game but I got bored of it pretty quickly. Combat is very action-based, it's fun but very repetitive. There are a lot of menus and most of the in-game systems are a bit more complicated than they needed to be. Some game modes won't let you buy and sell certain items until you convert to a different mode etc. Basically, the game is kind of convoluted.

phoenixwing994d ago

The mobs barely react in bdo. You can kill half of a mob of enemies before they'll even attack. You'll basically be grinding mobs until you can fight a boss that will even react well. Don't recommend it

anast993d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing993d ago

@anast I'd recommend playing the single player version of es if you haven't exhausted your playthroughs

EvertonFC994d ago

Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
