Anthem will now have an OPEN DEMO

I agree, giving people access earlier than planned has to be a good sign.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the shear amount of people wanting to take part in the closed alpha? Michael Gamble's announcement comes a day after people found out if they were in the alpha or not.

Seems not...

The response to the alpha was staggering, so yes, it makes sense.

Is it an open beta, which would emphasize testing and be expected to be buggy, or an open demo, which would be a polished product intended to get people interested in the game?

Of course they can do some testing behind the scenes during the demo, but the expectation about polish and bugs is different.

I'm so bummed! I'm disappointed/mad at myself because I never turn on my computer through the week and I rarely check the email account that my gaming is linked to....Ergo I didn't even realize until this morning that I had been invited as into the Open Alpha Test....BOO! GRRRRRR! UGGGGGHHH!!! I so would have liked to test ANTHEM on my PC and see how it ran....I can't believe I missed out on this amazing opportunity because I never checked my email (and honestly never even thought about having any kind of hope of a reason to do so).

I guess now I'll just have to wait until Release Day to find out (which SUCKS for me). My next best hope is to take a good look at the finalized System Requirements and then hope-and-pray it will run as well as Andromeda and Inquisition on my system.

On a happier note....I have been able to secure my copies of the Art Book and CE Strategy Guide- both of which I am looking forward to poring into.


Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys their day!

I'm just curious....maybe reaching for the stars, hoping against all hope here-- but I was wondering....Since I was emailed an invitation to the Open, (yes I know I was neglectful in checking my email...but in my defense I really had no idea that I would have been emailed...Otherwise I would have checked my email mutiple times a day, waiting, hoping, expecting and anticipating to find something)...But I was emailed, so is there any way that a spot could be opened for me or maybe will open for me to play the Open Alpha?

Because I would like to take advantage of a late opportunity (like being fashionably late to a party if you will), if that is still in any way an option... I would like to make up for my neglecting my email.

I know, I know. It's strictly on a fist-come-first served basis, and yeah, I was foolish not to check my email so it is kind of only fair that I miss out on this round, I suppose.

Anyways, like I said- it's a shot in the dark. But if you say another opportunity will come 'round on January 25th, you can bet that I'll be in line for that one.

Best Regards
