They're all MP, but look again - some are games that were more exclusively MP or focused on MP, but are adding story campaigns, single player modes, RPG mechanics and choices. MP makes money and EA wants money, but I think there's a bigger vision here.
One we may not like, sure, but its something.
I think they want increasingly merged virtual settings. Ideally with eventually something of as many genres as possible. They're not there yet, but I wonder what an EA of 2020s-2030s might be. *snip* Yeah, it's something, but it's not something I need nor want. I think it looks good from the little bit we saw, but if it is indeed heavily MP, then I'm not getting it. I'm not interested in that approach. I like SP. Not hybrids, or jack of all trades games. And fortunately there are enough good and successful SP games being made for me to play, just not by EA. I was hoping for another SP title from BW but in a different genre than space sci-fi or fantasy. But eh. I wish them the best with it all. Sure. MP just makes a hell of a lot more money, most often, that allows the budgets of AAA to continue, so its something thats gonna happen. If gamers were more willing to spend over $100 for SP content in a game maybe things would go another way. Until then, the appeal of making a game with at least heavy MP elements to join with microtransactions, is just too strong. Even for ME, the MP wouldn't exist in the game without the SP sure (it may not distinguish itself enough on its own as a MP game), but the SP may not even be approved without the great profit to be made from MP mode. This doesn't mean there aren't great SP-only games though. Of course, far from it. I can hope that Bioware keeps enough desire to have SP-elements here to, while being always-online and surrounding the player with MP-somethings, have a way to do SP campaign fully (that is, partied with no one, fighting no one, talking to no one).

I think this is a good project for Bioware, Since they can't write for shit anymore they might as well make a full on action game, This is where their "talent" lies these days.

Dude, I can go off and find you a thousand different sources, just to have you call them fake news. Hahaha, fine dude, Whatever. People here are so odd... Kotaku fake, Polygon fake, every single source or report is fake as long it's not twitted and confirmed by a Great Leader Flynn or Gamble - ups, i forgot - those two doesn't want to confirm anything anymore !

Honestly I really don't care about Online games, MP or co-op. The game could be very well made and fun but I still wouldn't play it. I don't like online games so I'll pass.
Will wait for the next ME DLC and DA4.
Enjoy the game for those of you who like online shooters, you certainly have a big choice. I'll gladly stay in my SP RPG corner.

I think this could be great. I know a lot of people just want BW to be SP-RPG company with ME and DA. But I really enjoy SW:TOR, this game has come along way.
The biggest concern is however that Anthem could be a huge bug fiesta. SW:TOR was nearly unplayable on release day. One of the worst things was really the PVP aspect of the game, which I loved dearly, but was just so horrible optimized. It's fixed now, but I don't want to wait a year again to get a great game....
And for the people who look down on MP. SW:TORs Imperial Agent SL was 100% better than Dragon Age: Inquisition. Inquisition is just sad.

I see too much overreaction.
Again fornthe 100th time , adding a brand new IP does not mean the death of the old.The fact that it will be an online game doesn't threaten the existing ones.
Would I have vastly preffered an online shooter MMO set in the Mass Effect Universe? Hell to the freakin' yeah! Am I disappointed we are getting a brand brand new I.P.? Of course not.
Assuming Anthem will be a good game. At this point, I'd rather we get a good brand new I.P. ,even if it is different style of game than what Bioware usually does.Than get mediocre games of existing franchises.
They should release some good single player DLC for Andromeda plus some free MP stuff and then sit back..Re-evaluate what they want to do with ME as a franchise...Let it breathe and take a break as long as they nees...Return with a huge BANG!

I remember Sith Warrior SL also was superior. Yes. Or a classic Jedi, if you want to the Luke Skywalker feelings. My point is that MP = bad SL is such an outdated and oldfashioned opinion. Even Warframes new campaign has this jawdropping plottwist that was more exciting than anything that happens in Inquisition. I mean yeah you can romance, Cassandra, Cullen and Dorian, which are really outstanding characters. But if you ask me: Fuck romances, if the overall plot is a snoosefest. I'm open to Anthem and I will look at what they have to show in 11 hours.

is that female shepard voice ? I feel uber compelled to say they shouldn't be throwing about the idea of 'choices' at this stage in the game. They've kind of lost most of their credibility on that front. Feels like the video should be far more nihilistic 'Do whatever the fuck you want. In the end, it only matters in your head canon' ugh it takes itself far too seriously.BWOOOB::EPIC FOGHORN WITH VAGUELY BLUB ugh..idk, maybe I just get too old for his but i can't stop rolling my eyes,.."do they thing "the young folks" want that?.. I never played destiny, so i don't have any more clout in this as for dylan1 but I am far more interested in destiny two after seeing their trailer... this trailer feels just very..retreating shit we already know, copy pasting stuff I wasn't really interested.. It wouldn't annoy me so much if they wouldn't take itself so seriously and also wouldnt repeatedly tell that they want this shit o be the bestest game eval.. yeah.. dont start that way bioware, you can only lose against that expectation. that armor design is also fugly as shit. ist looks like one of the uglier MEA sets.. ugh.. and not really comfy.. like someone padded the puft marshmallow man in fugly kett and remnant armor. well I am rather poor, so I cant buy every game I want, maybe one every 2,3 months..so if this game stay that self important and online coop fixated..I will wait until its down and cheap..and how it looks it may not take that long :§ meh...blech..ugh but bitching is fun at least. _
1(rsry, anthem is a stupid name. I think dylan sound more interesting. anthem sounds like someone collected a list of vaguely eic sounding shit and then someone threw a dart and it his ANTHEM but missed "SINGALONG" "HYMN" "FREELANCING CHOIRBABES" or "WALL-E" only slightly....) (...anthem is a name for a guitar hero dlc, playing the national anthems of the country of your choice )

Who's to say that isn't mass effect? Like some stranded colony after the Reaper's were destroyed, or maybe just a stranded colony during the MET.
That's my problem with a new IP like this. It doesn't feel unique enough. We got our scifi/alien pew-pew already, Bioware. It's called Mass Effect.

Looking at this glass half full, this game might mean that future RPG titles get their multiplayer part scrapped, so hopefully less resources spent on that in the future.
As for Anthem's reason of existing, is to make a big buck. EAware is copying others in the industry, after seeing the success of microtransaction multiplayer games (counting ME3 big success here). The server costs are way cheaper than traditional MMOs, and people are more willing to do microtransactions than pay a subscription.
It's just a model that is proving very profitable and EA wants a slice of the cake. Having BW develop it, with the "choices" stuff that is being thrown about, simply means that it will likely have some kind of storyline to keep people engaged, playing, and especially microtransacting. A similar way how SWTOR was marketed as a "story" mmorpg - doesn't mean it will end the same way though.
As for me, i'm quite picky about which games i play, and Anthem doesn't sound at all compelling to me.

Stay classy, BSN.
Both sides of this fence have gotten off to typical starts, White Knights versus the Really Rottens.
Boring. The time for overreacting will be later today when we see some gameplay.
No matter how much of teh awsums they try to put in, I won't buy it. EA is dead to me.

Even if Anthem turns out to be good, it came at the cost of Mass Effect. The Montreal team was simply not prepared to handle it. Poor management ended up with what released to all of us on March 21. A very sad end, and totally avoidable.
