Anthem Demo Update 1.01 Rolled Out in Preparation for the Open Demo

There's an Anthem demo update 1.01 that's now available on all three platforms. File size and details in the article.

Kabaneri1937d ago

Hopefully now I wont have to reboot the game every time it gets stuck at 95% loading.

excaliburps1937d ago

Sure hope so too. This was the biggest bug of all.

BenRC011937d ago

EA are just the best this gen 😂😂😂

Gwiz1937d ago

EA has been the most controversial publisher for sure,it seems that Bethesda wants to give a shot at that title as well.

sprinterboy1937d ago

Demo should be interesting, having said that my mind is made up, res2, days gone, dmc and metro are my games for the 1st part of 2019.
Anthem can wait until summer drought and hopefully a price deduction. Especially after that £20 for a suit skin BS, that's a third of what the full game costs lol.

monkey6021937d ago

That 10 minute gameplay demo IGN had really threw a spanner in the works when I comes to my excitement for Days Gone. It looks quite bad actually.

Metro is definite for me too though

thrust1937d ago

Yeah, going by the games you have listed this game isn’t for you!

TacoTaco1937d ago

He's missing out on multiplayer in his list, but with that much SP he'll be busy till summer anyway

sprinterboy1937d ago

Loved the initial reveal for anthem but sadly after last weeks coverage of the game, youtube video etc my excitement has dwindled.
Don't get me wrong ill play it for the SP at some point but I'm just getting a destiny/iron man/lost planet game vibe all mixed into one and some terrible enemy Ai

Kaze241937d ago

What you expect, ps4 users love their single player experiences.

Atanasrikard1937d ago

Where did Bioware say that a skin will cost $20? Or are you reading placeholder numbers as fact?

sprinterboy1937d ago

You know full well the $20 will get reduced to $15 but that's way too high still.
Like angry Joe says, if it was the price of a coffee it's not so bad cause if you like a game lots you can goto work and not have a morning coffee and save that coffee money for a $2 cosmetic, not $20 a third of the game ffs.

Atanasrikard1937d ago (Edited 1937d ago )

@sprinterboy

Gotya, no actual information from Bioware, just a placeholder image that someone else provided. Any actual proof of anything?

Don't get me wrong, I won't be paying $20 for a skin if that is the case but I will not jump the gun until I receive actual word from Bioware themselves. I could definitely see $20 for a new javelin, I think that is a more realistic scenario. Or maybe you are right. I mean, there are plenty of idiots out there who pay that much for Fortnite skins, so maybe they think that will work.

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.

JEECE153d 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."

RiseNShine153d 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.

ChasterMies153d ago

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

--Onilink--153d 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

BlackCountryBob153d 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_mmohaven496d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad496d ago

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

Knushwood Butt497d ago

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

Cueil495d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx496d ago

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

blackblades496d 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

monkey602496d 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.

Aloymetal1021d ago (Edited 1021d ago )

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

P_Bomb1021d 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.

solideagle1021d ago (Edited 1021d 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 :)

shinoff21831021d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

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

Aloymetal1021d ago

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

LoveSpuds1020d 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.

GhostofHorizon1021d ago

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

ElvisHuxley1021d ago (Edited 1021d ago )

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

Hellcat20201021d ago

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

Servbot411021d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai1021d ago

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

BioShockGX1020d ago

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

ElvisHuxley1019d 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 "#$&&%.

Servbot411021d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast1021d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu1021d 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.

phoenixwing1021d 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

anast1020d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing1020d ago

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

EvertonFC1021d ago

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