" Freedom of experiencing the game the way you want to play it is important for BioWare, so gamers will be able to play either with themselves or with friends. The whole experience is “frictionless.” And it’s “absolutely” possible to play through the entire game solo." This doesn't mean there will be single player content, it just means that you can progress in the game without partying with other people. But you're going to be in the persistent world with everyone else, you'll just be doing everything by yourself. Did someone actually say that there will be a single player campaign? Yup. www.dualshockers.com/anthem-bioware-solo-play-setting-combat-story-and-more/That's where I pulled this quote from. This doesn't mean SP content, it just means you can play in this world solo and still progress. But you're going to be in the persistent world with everyone else like nay other MMO.

Anthem already tops Andromeda because: 1) The characters actually talk in sync with their lips 2) The facial animations actually look good!

For what it was - an extremely brief segment that will have got a ton of resources poured on it - I didn't think the facial animation was all that good.

It looks cool. Not what I expect from Bioware so it left me scratching my head a bit, but I am intrigued enough that I want to keep a close eye on it. And honestly if gameplay is as good as the trailer makes it look, I'll most likely get it. I love Destiny and shooter looters so this looks right up my alley. Just still weird to see it coming from Bioware.

I don't know. The game that made me go "omg, take my money" in that presentation was Assassin Creed. Nothing in the setting BioWare presented spoke to me specifically, and since no details was given about non player characters, story, and interactions, I have nothing to really want. I am not big on exploring a world, I prefer breadcrumbs of a story. There is a chance of that still, so I am waiting to find it out. I don't mind extras like exploration thrown in, but I won't play to just explore and find things to do on my own. If the story is just a collection of random tasks that are loaded once in a while it is not really appealing to me. I am not big on "just living" in the world.
also, exosuits mean that for most of the game I won't even see my character at all, just a standard suit it's encased in, so that way they probably avoid the cc.

I think it's way to early before one should say if they'll be invested in it or not. It looks great, I like the concept, but can it actually live up to what destiny and the divisfailed at? If so it could arguably be one if the best games ever IF!! It can do what destiny failed to do. The skepticism is expected, no one really asked for this kind of game from bioware, plus it takes away from the already established franchises (game looks much better than Andromeda and Andromeda looked pretty good too if I say so myself). You also have the fear if it being so online focused but that's why there's options when it comes to games, don't like online playing? Go play a single player game. It's funny seeing all the bitching over it being online, if this was mass effect or dragon age then I'd understand as their focus is single player playing, this ones the opposite and I hate to tell people this but multiplayer isn't all that bad, it's popular for a reason in a variety of ways, doesn't mean you have to like it or put up with it, I understand it can not be fun playing with randoms because *insert excuse* or when your internet cuts out and you can't play the game or you simply like to be by yourself, but again....options. I imagine next E3 I should have a good indication on if I'll get it or not, it's not supposed to come out till 2019 so a lot can still change. Yeah it probably is too early to say. Graphics wise it looks really nice but without single player for me it has to be a no I'm not likely to get it. I hope Biowaer find success with it but for me I'd prefer they stick to what they do best and that's great RPG's with good stories.

I don't think ME community will like Anthem much. Most of us like story games, not mix of Battlefield & Titanfall. I just cannot believe they put A-Team on this game, and at the same time the let trainees do MEA. I don't think the ME community even like Bioware games. Nothing beyond KOTOR or ME1 anyway. Maybe this will attract a new breed of Bioware fan that actually enjoys things instead of just hating on everything all the time. Man what a world that would be. I wouldn't say that I was a big fan of ME befoer I was a big fanof DA but the fact it's not got SP it dosen't look like and the fact it's looking like a classic Titanfall style MMO I just don't see myself wanting to touch it. I wish them every success with it but I'll likely be staying out of this one.

It looks really really beautiful I am very excited about that aspect. But a few months back when it was whispered to be like Destiny I was deflated. Like most bioware fans I come to play bioware games for the story and the characters.....To have such beauty and design put into a MMO is a "wasted" opportunity for me. Though Bioware has stressed "MMO-ish" in I think....a Eurogamer article? I don't remember exactly which publication it was but reading that relieved a bit of the disappointed feelings.
It would be very surprising to me if Bioware just through out all of what makes them the team that they are........Way too soon to really say if I'll preorder it or not...probably not, but I am highly looking forward to more trailers and information

Just Maybe.
Sci-fi, Mechs... are all interest points for me. I'm sold on the visual and aesthetic fronts.
what's going to make it or break it for me if they offer SP and if it's an actual Bioware SP. If it turns out to be 8-hour filler schlock on the lines of other MP-centric games I won't be getting it. If the SP is invested with the typical Bioware ingredients of storytelling and dialogue choices I'm all in honestly.

I don't know. The game that made me go "omg, take my money" in that presentation was Assassin Creed. WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN. UBISOFT IS THE KING OF BAIT AND SWITCH. I have never played AC before, because the settings that interested me were in the older games with poorer graphics. Which means the whole point of playing it is lost. I also was thinking this morning that the VO in the trailer is probably not the Protagonist's voice, so that's one thing to double check. Still, if they deliver the setting with a silent protagonist, and he does look like that, I would like to go climb a few walls and kill a few high priests for the aesthetics. No other game was set in a realm that appealed to my imagination. They were all post-apocalyptic or failry, and those are not my thing. my list of games to buy atm is Tyranny, Prey and AC:O once I get them on sale, b/c I am risking trying a new (or, in case of Obsidian, outdated) game and two of them from developers I have not tried yet.

If they wanted to make a Destiny/Division clone why not set it in the amazing, beloved Mass Effect universe with all it's brilliant races & more? I'm not buying this uninspired pos out of principle now. Then you'd just have people bitching that "it's not Mass Effect". They can't win with everyone. I'm just looking for fun games to play, so I'm going to just sit back, relax, and see what happens. Me too. I'm wary, but hopeful.

If it's possible to get the story and play it solo, it could greatly resemble what we're playing now in the single player experience. We'll have to wait and see. Well it's possible to play KOTOR solo but since the game is designed to be played as a group it ends up just being a painful experience. I imagine you're actually talking about SWTOR, the MMO? Which while at launch needed a group otherwise it was very sloggy and you missed out a lotta of content, they have rejigged the system so that the majority of content is solo-able (Flashpoints have solo modes, all heroics are solo-able etc...) Also adjusted the XP rates so that lvling is super easy and you can just do story content. If you aren't a group player and just like Bioware story, I would really recommend giving SWTOR a try, as the 8 class story's are really excellent (some better than others, but it really depends what kind of story you like - each have different themes). I did originally try SWTOR at launch but was put off by the grindiness and came back with the expansion pack KOTFE and now really love it. I wouldn't mind if Anthem was done in a similar way, the only problem being we haven't seen much (i.e ANY) of the story content so it's hard to see if it's something that I would be interested in

Picked the second to last option, even though I didn't really see any bad. I do, however, have a lot of uncertainty and unaswered questions. If I'm convinced further down the line that this game will be a good solo experience as well as mp, then I'll be all in (Preorder and what have you)...

Looks absolutely 'revolutionary'. I'm so thrilled BioWare are making open-world multiplayer shooters now. It's their true calling. What is this opposite-land?
I can see why the talent left years ago now.

I'm looking forward to news about Cyberpunk 2077. Yeah, at least the most basic info on CP2077 would be very welcome. And they would be fiendishly clever to announce a traditional RPG in non post apocalyptic setting to scoop up everyone who is looking at Anthem and thinking, well, is there a place in it for a solo player? But, then, again, maybe CP2077 is going in the same direction of being an MP w/o companions and a story for the Your Protagonist, so... the niche players are not welcomed there either, and the niche for the solitary nerds is done.
