Bioware not confident in Anthem? (Awful actors)

You see that with most games of this type in their gameplay reveals. What they're showing is how you go about playing the game with other people. They did the same with Destiny and The Division.

The best way to show how co-op play works is to show people playing co-op, together. Not just running around together like in Call of Duty.

It was an example, more realistic would be 'ShitLord' and 'ButtBreath69' ignoring each other.
Realism. 

And we're 16 months out, there will be more trailers.

Well they're not going to have the people talking entirely "realistic" otherwise there would a be a ton of swearing, a ton of arguing, laughing and general discussion about something completely unrelated to the game or task at hand...

Funny enough, the "script" was quite accurate when it comes to my guild when we run open world content in MMO, it was just missing a bit of not game related discussion while moving around.

Laughing is a negative?

You could still have the swearing, arguing, laughing, and general discussion. When My friends and I are playing a coop game such as Ghost Recon, we're joking about the game and talking shit to each other the entire time because we are having fun. I'm not saying they should emulate 2009 Halo 3 lobby talk, I am saying they should have normal communications between real people that are on friendly terms.

You know what I would say if I saw a buddy pop out with a mortar attachment regardless of whether or not it was a good choice? I would tell him the only reason he picked that was because he sucks at aiming. We would both know I am joking and we'd laugh and continue playing the game for fun.

Regardless, when you put garbage scripts in the gameplay trailers, it's absolutely terrible. I really want to watch the trailer but I can't get past the awful script.

Aweful as the script may be, it's a pretty standard practice to illustrate the concept of the game. It doesn't say anything about their confidence level.

I think you misunderstood the point of the people in the trailer. It's too early in development yet to just have some two randos come in and record a gaming session and use that for the trailer. It's scripted because it's not really meant to show how players would interact with each other, it's meant as exposition to describe how things happen in-game.

The mission taken by the player at the start of the demo has nothing to do with the Shaper Storm. In fact, we don't even see any of Hell and High Water outside receiving the quest.  The quest marker for it is visible for a short time when Michelle goes outside but soon disappear behind the players as they go exploring.

The Scar Ambush is probably similar to MEA having areas with different enemies/encounter each time you pass them by. The Shaper Storms are world altering phenomenon according to the official website, you get an objectives to enter them when one spawn but who knows what you do once inside (take a coffee and wait for the world to get destroyed?).

Also, there is a total lack of level on enemies and quests through out all the demo. Going by BioWare's track record, that means level scaling.

It's the "in" thing to do nowadays...

It pisses.me off to no end it's an insult to everyone's intelligence.

I think it's more of EA's territory, for presentation's sake. Now cue the rap music trailer.

It was a conceptual demonstration of an unfinished game, designed to sound like people who had been playing it for a long time. That is an advertisement.

Bioware isn't trying to pull the wool over your eyes, stop taking it as a personal insult.

I can't help but think that non-actor genuine gamers would have brought the enthusiasm needed to make the demo a hit. I mean, it's a brand new IP from Bioware and discussion around it is a little lackluster. This shouldn't be the case.

However people feel about Bethesda/Fallout 4, that 2015 E3 showcase that Todd Howard did was the last one I watched all the way through. That kind of enthusiasm, knowledge and charisma can't be bought or scripted. Anthem really needs that.
