They explore some new areas in this video - worth a watch.

Almost a promotional video approving the destruction of non-hostile fauna at the start.
I really like the giant mushrooms biome though.

The amount of time i will fly around exploring and finding new shit will be probably equal if not bigger than the amount spent on killing things

It is something many games struggle with and more games should figure out how to make fun. Traversal. Even if you are just running around a lot ... make it fun. Of course it is a lot of work so it often gets overlooked.
Flying seems really cool.

Looks good...but that Titan was basically standing there....charging and shooting off slow fire balls.....if there are more variety with that boss i can see Anthem being a bit more interesting.....that Brute creature felt too much like those Brute creatures we saw in Andromeda....no complaints on the flying tho, that aspect looks like they nailed it. i'm not really liking the bland lesser enemies you fight...just feels and look generic and doesn't feel like it's cohesive....
But i don't think that is a knock against the game itself, just moreso the type of game it is and games like these have generic bland lesser enemies that you have to engage...idk...i want to like Anthem, but nothing is really pulling me in at this point...some vids have me interested, and others just have me ...meh....visuals are solid tho...

Any idea what difficulty they were playing at?
If I hadn't been sold already, this would have clinched it. Free play looks awesome, with a lot more interesting things to do than I had imagined. The flying and exploring I had expected, but mini-dungeons? Critter hunting? Brutes spoiling your relaxing fetch quest? Shards ... I mean, collectibles hidden away in difficult to find places?
And all that is doable solo? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I had a jolt of deja vu watching this video. When I played Destiny 1, I had a lot more fun just free roaming and doing public events than I did doing the main missions. I think the same thing might happen with Anthem, only there's even more to do in Anthem.

Looks good...but that Titan was basically standing there....charging and shooting off slow fire balls Yeah, the lesser ash titan did seem a little underwhelming/boring to fight. Mostly just spam dps -> dodge slow, heavily telegraphed attacks -> resume dps spam while standing/hovering in place. I think because that particular mini-boss is so immobile, those encounters would benefit from having some more mobile adds that can chase/displace the players and force them to adapt their tactics on the fly. The Ursix fight looked a lot better though. Much more dynamic.

Combat continues to look good in Anthem. Also appreciated that he wasn't talking most of the way through this preview. Exploration is hard to judge from this video, I still have big doubts in this area TBH, but flying looks quite fun.

'takes a while to get from A to B'
🤔
How long before that gets old and you start dreaming of inventing fast travel? Depends how big the areas are I suppose. My experience of playing Destiny and Warframe are that you tend to want to get to where you want to go, when you're in a fireteam, as fast as possible. Solo, it might be a different story, I rarely fast travel in Horizon Zero Dawn, but that game seems slower paced when you travel by foot/strider than Anthem appears to be.
I'm still reserving judgement til I play the demo/beta, but the hoppy jumpy always flying isn't appealing atm.

So where is the story?
I mean I know the purpose of this video isnt the story but open world gameplay, but for a game that segments itself against Destiny by its story....EA isnt showing much of it.

I believe the story is outside of MP/free zone game play (I'm sure someone will correct me ) meaning you get it prior to engaging said game play course I'm sure you'll get some story parts during play listening to the zipher in your head set? not sure there, time will tell when we get to play the demo.

Im not saying it isnt there. Just asking why hasnt it been featured as much? Especially if one of the bigger niche qualities of this game IS the story. Just seems odd....

If flying is as fun as those videos imply I would probably not use fast travel, just like i neverused it while playing Batman Arkham Knight.

If flying is as fun as those videos imply I would probably not use fast travel, just like i neverused it while playing Batman Arkham Knight. I will probably have weeks of fun just traversing the map, building a javelin just for exploration and finding all the ways to get to unreachable places. I really like 'landscape puzzles' and figuring out how to get somewhere or finding hidden gems or amazing views, and Anthem seems to have those in spades.

Well, it continues to LOOK beautiful but ... that's about it.
I got bored watching the video and couldn't finish it (due to the suit they were using, wasn't impressed by it), and it was only an 8 minute video. It's definitely very destiny like.
