Anthem Next will be a 'longer process' but BioWare promises regular updates

Anthem Next is going to be a "longer process" but BioWare is promising to bring players along for the journey so they can help guide the team.

[RazzerRedux]

ugh....I wish "Anthem Next" would change to "Next Game"

[brrdat]

why? so yall can complain about that too? they're trying to fix a game that a lot of people spent money on. there's nothing wrong with that. let them tend to their community.

[RazzerRedux]

lol....it is going to take years for them to "fix" Anthem and even at that point, I have no faith at all that they can do it. They should move on. As for the people who spent money on it.....well, that is the risk for buying a game that requires you to be online.

[Seraphim]

I get your point. Next game, who's to say it's any better anyway. Personally my concern is simply that this ship sailed LONG AGO. How many are going to go back and play Anthem by the time it's been updated and fixed? Especially once next gen drops. I'd imagine a fix is at least a year and a half out. This is no small task they're undertaking. I do commend them for trying to fix it though. I thoroughly enjoyed the month I played but it was so fun/good but so bad. At the same time, wasn't there a mention of it being paid for? Perhaps I'm wrong in that regard but if that the case. Even more DOA.

"Next game, who's to say it's any better anyway."

Exactly. People had a lot of issues with Mass Effect 3 and said the next game would be better. Look how that turned out.

The fact is they need to fix this. From the very beginning they have been nothing but liars starting with that faked E3 presentation. They owe people that purchased this game. And they own them now not in 4 years.

[Spurg]

Ship has sailed for this game. No one is gonna want to leave their go-to multiplayer game to play Anthem. They might have an upsurge of player at the beginning but that would die afterwards like always.

[ecchiless]

if is f2p theres a chance that i could play it...

[RaidenBlack]

Changing it to F2P might save it? I Dunno ...

[RazzerRedux]

I don't think even that would be enough.

[Lostbytes]

First the game is not a competitive versus game, its a cooperative co-op. So your favorite Versus MP game is a different beast, and is really not comparable. But your not wrong , the ship has sailed on this, for most people. I just think your reasoning behind it is flawed.

[brrdat]

not for the people who spent money on it and still play it. just because you don't like it doesn't mean that community doesn't. there is nothing wrong with them trying to fix a game that people spent money on.

[Stay-Toasty]

I grabbed it cheap and its got potential. The flying mechanics are amazing. If the update is free ill be very happy with my purchase. They might be able to pull it off. And if not, it was only 5 bucks.

[Toiletsteak]

Lol Anthem

[Azfargh]

Lol Gaming industry

[brrdat]

lol whiny gamers that bitch and complain over literally everything

[QSPR]

@brrdat

bro you trying to hard. you're not convincing anybody. If you love that crap game it's ok.. for you. but trying to tell people the game is good or whatever you are trying to say.... is a POS and almost all gamers hate that game. BioWare and Dice are under EA's umbrella!!

[antikbaka]

just like they promised a long and enjoyable road map for the original one?

[Redlife2g]

😂 Please tell these guys that not every game can be "no man sky'd".. Move on already.

[DragonWarrior19]

NMS is forever tarnished in it's notorious reputation along with Anthem and Fallout 76. They are holing for a FFxiv level miracle without actually putting effort into rebuilding the came from the ground up.

[smashman98]

I mean, you know you're wrong right? NMS is more popular than ever. Despite it's rough launch. The game turned itself around completely and now has a very respectable playerbase.

[brrdat]

nms has a dedicated community that genuinely loves the game now. it's obvious you don't play any of the games you just mentioned. that's the hate train gaming community now, though. "i've never played a game but people on the internet told me it's bad so i'll tell other people it's bad too to fit in!"

[Redlife2g]

Lol you have no idea what you're talking about. Yes nms had an extremely rough launch but you should see the game now.. Complete 360

[EDKICK]

@brrdat

"it's obvious you don't play any of the games you just mentioned. that's the hate train gaming community now, though. 'i've never played a game but people on the internet told me it's bad so i'll tell other people it's bad too to fit in!"'

You just perfectly described the mindset of most gamers on this site's and similar site's comment section. This hate train mentality that steamrolls any nuanced discussion of certain games is beyond useless.

[Games1st]

Cut your losses and make a new game.

[csreynolds]

😂😂😂

Oh. They're not joking? Hmmm, can't say I trust this promise based on how the car crash that was Anthem First turned out.

[CrimsonWing69]

I don’t know why you’re bothering...

Unless you 100% change the whole GaaS structure and actually make a game that doesn’t feel repetitive, I don’t see this working.

I say let this be a lesson to you and don’t screw up the next Dragon Age.

[TheColbertinator]

Dragon Age is all I will bother to see from them anymore

[ecchiless]

lets hope for the best... nah who im trying to lie here, is bioware.

[MWH]

Who knows what shape or form this game will have? All hopes and wishes are up in the air, mine too.

[Crazyglues]

LMAO... BioWare / EA

[Madcoder]

I love Anthem, I dont see why people dont like this game its awesome! Dont give up!

[DigitallyAfflicted]

1st develop develop game
2nd release finished product

Not other way around!!!! How stupid is bioware???

[jambola]

Oh
Of course I believe it
It's not like bioware has given people reason not to trust them

[Phantom68]

I forgot about this game. I think they should let go.

[SubtilizZer]

This game could’ve been something special, I think it could still be. When that time comes though I don’t think it will be able to pull a final fantasy 14 kinda comeback.

It would be amazing to see that sort of success from this title and studio, but I think it’s maybe too late.

[InKnight7s]

Only Square Enix saved a multiplayer game from total failure to huge success which is the transition from xIv to xIv: Realm Reborn. I doubt a western developers like EA can offer that, I mean the company literally killed Mass Effect, Need For Speed and Battlefield. Mass Effect could stand up to be ranked best shooter RPG, Need For Speed could compete with Forza Horizon, Battlefield could killed COD for good during that EXO suits era. Add to that they killed Titan Fall which is far superior and entertaining game to anything they ever had. I can't recall anything good except the new Star Wars, TF and Dragon Age: I.

[azizlksa1]

I have no faith in bioware

[MWH]

it's game over Bioware, game over.

[tontontam0]

They have a chance to redeem themselves if they make this a free update for those who already owns anthem.

[Cussing]

Pass. I doubt I'll buy anything bioware does. After Andromeda and then this? They have a lot to make right before I'll drop another dime on anything they make.

[Garodor]

"Longer Process"... The game is 1.5 years old and missing any big content updates since nearly half a year
So... You weren't rushing out a lot of content to begin with
Also a team of 30 people is sounding like this is the size of a team that could supply a f2p game with regular new content and not like they will bring big changes/content drops to the game.
I guess EA is hoping they can re-release the game next Gen as a free to play title to get a bit more return out of their investment in this disaster of a game

[jjb1981]

I got mine free with the 2080Ti but I still want them to attempt to fix it.
