To be honest I wished they challenged them to create an open world full of meaningful content rather than "finding a way to not sacrifice visual fidelity". I think this interview can give us a good insight about their priorities for this game: "It took time to get that done but, you know, with some smart investments in technologies, some smart design from our art team, we got there. I would firmly say that I haven’t seen any open world that looks as good as this, ever, which is kind of what we wanted".
Not a single word about story, content, characters and so on... just "visuals". They are entering a competitive market, so they have to differentiate. There are people who care about story, but there are way more people who care about visuals and gameplay. The gameplay trailer has two clear messages: 1) this is a game that people who like Destiny, The Division, and Borderlands will recognize and get excited about, and 2) it's better than those games, at least insofar as visuals go. Now my guess is that, relative to similar shared world action games, Anthem will kick ass in the story department. But that's a relative comparison and not really saying much, because those other games suck at story. So, you'll have to decide if that is a glass half empty, or a glass half full. I think that the chance that it will be as deep in story as ME or DA is very low, and even lower if you expect Anthem's storytelling to be better than DA or ME. Well... if it's a different genre, I don't think the storytelling will be any different. It should always be great... it's BioWare. I expect the amount of storytelling to take a back seat to coordinated player combat. I fully expect it to be like Star Wars the Old Republic (short narrations, informative cutscenes, etc.) in that respect. I've never played Destiny and I'm watching game trailers. I'm pretty sure this game will be one of my go-to games when I'm done running full-length campaigns in either franchise. I just need to "git gud."

"...a social game..." At least use real words. Social? What does that even mean? Social = always online multiplayer experience where the entirety of the game can in principle be played solo in the same way that freemium games can in principle be played without buying in-game currency - just don't expect it to be balanced if that's what you do, and accept that some content may have a difficulty / grind / timer threshold which means even if you could attempt it solo, there is no realistic possibility of your completing it before you rage quit. Don't expect NPC companions, because having a slavebot to support you in singleplayer content isn't very social. We want you to team up, because marketing say games where players interact have greater staying power, and we just agreed a 10-year budget with EA, folks. Dont expect an actually massive open world. I mean, if it was a massive open free-roaming world where people played online in a multiplayer context, there's a great well-established three letter acronym for that, already used by SWTOR. We don't want to officially say that, because to keep things pretty we've had to create the illusion of a much more open world by funnelling players into instanced corridors that can twist and turn and open up and, y'know, stuff that makes them not look like corridors...but that just happen to not connect to each other except at or near the main Hub. Do expect random loot drops to be, y'know, a bug thing. And expect cosmetics to also definitely be, like, y'know, a random drop kinda thing. Possibly with some kind of limited trading system between players because social, but not too unrestricted because we don't want gold farming / people bypassing the grind. Do expect microtransactions. Because we really had trouble getting SWTOR's subscriptions to work, and having had our fingers burned we've now bowed down to the microtransactions God who will play a much larger influence than suggested in the trailers (because lol, we're not completely stupid!)

Lol,
I must go back and re-read my books on social studies.... 'cause it was not my thing at all.... 'cause I took a dare to take a subject outside my comfort zone. Your corridor analogy is good. The Shaper Storms takes its place as its a plot device (ie: no elevators) to land you on the mission map.

The Shaper Storms might also be a random/unreliable gateway to other content, a bit like (but not very like) the Rifts in Rift. We don't have a lot of info yet, but just seeing things from the trailer, I expect that the city will act as a Hub. You'll be able to wander about and do various things there, like tweak your Javelin, buy and equip "cool new stuff"(tm), pick up storyline quests, talk to companions (if any), etc. Depending on the content of the game, you might be able to queue for any kind of co-op horde modes, and you may even be able to do some interactions with other players - although I suspect that your instance of the Hub will only contain you, you won't be actually seeing other players wandering around. When you get in the Javelin, it'll then take you to one of the Hub exits. I imagine there will either be multiple exits (that don't connect), or those funky tunnels just outside the Hub will act as access points to a surface map to disguise a loading screen. My money would be on the multiple exits, as that'd make it easier to add new exits and access points to new content without having to muck around with the map. Depending on which exit you've taken, you'll get access to a surface map which you travel through. Somewhere in there will be the gateway to a new instanced area where your active quest(s) will take place. In between you and them will be gorgeously disguised corridors with fixed ambush points, mook spawns, bullet sponge baddies that people avoid rather than fight (not because they're dangerous, but because they're a pointless time sink), yet more mook spawns, etc. There may also be gateways to access other content (e.g. Ruins of AncientRuinedCitysVille may turn out to be MyFirstRaidForDummies) appropriate to your character's level for that area. By breaking things up into instanced areas, only allowing 3 other concurrent players in your instance with you at any one time, and blocking your ability to see long distances by surrounding you with mountains, large rocks, thick jungles, etc. then the developers can keep the graphical fidelity and FPS quality high because they've controlled for several factors which would normally be unrestricted in an MMO.

...marketing say games where players interact have greater staying power... People who work in marketing tend to be extraverts. Can't trust extraverts. Social - adj. "Of or relating to society" Since I maintain there is no such thing as society, I can only conclude that the word social is meaningless nonsense.

Now my guess is that, relative to similar shared world action games, Anthem will kick ass in the story department. But that's a relative comparison and not really saying much, because those other games suck at story. So, you'll have to decide if that is a glass half empty, or a glass half full. I think that the chance that it will be as deep in story as ME or DA is very low, and even lower if you expect Anthem's storytelling to be better than DA or ME. Source? My gaming group and most gamers I know relate BioWare to great storytelling.

Streamline it anyway one wants but gaming, in general, is steered towards the online. That co-op thing is to placate those RPG players that don't like hoard modes. The story will be outlined in a riveting intro movie, the rest gameplay + stunning visuals.
The in between RPG a la Bioware is vanishing. The successful crowdfunding RPG's of late, I do not care about. I can slice and dice it any way I want but the RPG genre I like to play is vanishing like the wind.
I am hoping the DA franchise will last a few more games or I will be stuck solely playing reruns.
Regardless I do hope Anthem will be a succes for Bioware.

Bungie signed a binding contract with Activision to produce Destiny content on a predefined schedule for ten years. Being owned by EA rather than bound by a legal contract, they actually has a lot more leeway regarding content schedules. Also, apparently 10 years is the standard time period developers plan to support online titles, or so I'm told, so this isn't really copying much.

Destiny was supposed to be a 10 year game. What did it end up being? A 3-4 year game and now Destiny 2 is coming. Incorrect. Destiny was conceived as being a trilogy from the start, and the entire trilogy was meant to span 10 years. Bungie is doing exactly what it said it would do. Whether it can actually be successful for another seven years is another matter.

My concern is what happens if Anthem fails. What happens to this "ten year plan"? Does it just get ditched to the curb like MEA, did? Also, is this just going to be one game with a bunch of expansions like World of Warcraft? Or is it going to be Destiny 2 with minimal improvement between each game? I have a lot of concerns that they'll actually pull this game off.

Destiny is only doing a destiny 2 cause they want to ditch last gen consoles (makes sense cause they'll hold the game back on various possibilities and scenarios that the new gen can offer, no more compensating between two generations).

Now my guess is that, relative to similar shared world action games, Anthem will kick ass in the story department. But that's a relative comparison and not really saying much, because those other games suck at story. So, you'll have to decide if that is a glass half empty, or a glass half full. I think that the chance that it will be as deep in story as ME or DA is very low, and even lower if you expect Anthem's storytelling to be better than DA or ME. I am not very hopeful. If EA wanted a game which was focused on story they would have asked BW to create the typical kind of game that they are used to release. If their focus on this game is on action and shared world they'll try to give players a reason to choose that kind of gameplay rather than play solo. No matter how good can be the SP experience they will make sure that it will be a minor feature in the game. Otherwise many people would play it like a "classic" RPG, but this game is not meant to be like that. Here is why I have really no expectations about it and I think that everybody who is interested in a solid, good, single player experience should do the same. It could be BioWare pitching this kind of game to EA as a project, in the end. If that is so, they didn't want to make a "classic" rpg.

If their focus on this game is on action and shared world they'll try to give players a reason to choose that kind of gameplay rather than play solo. No matter how good can be the SP experience they will make sure that it will be a minor feature in the game. Otherwise many people would play it like a "classic" RPG, but this game is not meant to be like that. Here is why I have really no expectations about it and I think that everybody who is interested in a solid, good, single player experience should do the same. It could be BioWare pitching this kind of game to EA as a project, in the end. If that is so, they didn't want to make a "classic" rpg. -(_ANTHEM_)-
Speaking of classic, Divinity Original Sin II is coming this Sep 14. Fully voice, apparently, with about 74K voiced lines and >1M words.
Let Bio be coy about Anthem for now. Their next trailer ought to nail what it is or is not. In the meantime, other games are peaking my curiosity...

This is the kind of asinine statement that deserves to be mocked mercilessly. 2007 in videogaming per Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_in_video_gamingWhich of these games are still being played today? OK in fairness I still play Peggle now and then. Halo 2 for Windows Vista... somebody hold me. Balls of Fury. I never heard of this game but I now desperately want to play it. Team Fortress 2. There you go, Bioware, that's what you can aspire to. Good luck with that.

There you go, Bioware, that's what you can aspire to. Good luck with that. I think you may be looking at this wrong. Those games don't get support 2 years after their launch. You're better off comparing anthems "plan" to mmos or games that really extend post launch support. Destiny had support for 3 years, I've no idea on the division since it's garbage and games like dieing light?(think that's the name) have been out for 4 years + and still release content. Anthem may go the destiny route and do sequels every few years (depending on success first) or it may do how mmos do post launch support and just drop expansions every so often to sustain it. Games like halo, pebble, etc etc do not compare in any way to this model being how they're stand alone games only meant to last till sequels come out.
