So does anyone know why the game is being demo'd in Sweden by DICE instead of in Edmonton by BioWare?
Edit: as far as my hype level, I tried the alpha and my hype has been [REDACTED].

I have found over the past few days and weeks that I have regularly scoured the Internet for any new news/information on ANTHEM (be that in the form of written articles, uploaded videos etc) and I have found myself to be in a state of mixed emotions. By that, I mean I feel somewhat disappointed when I don't learn about, hear or see anything new and I briefly experience a state of apathy concerning the game because I have not witnessed any recently new material that would cause me to get excited about the game and how it's all going to unfold. To further clarify...I can remember back to the months and weeks leading up to ME2 and 3 where every week they would have some sort of new promotional video that you could download (I'm referring to the "Fight for the Lost" character videos specifically that were used as promotional material, but also introduced us to some of the new characters, in what I thought was a really cool way) and I can remember my excitement and anticipation for ME 2 ramping up and I remember being excited but also curious to learn more about the game and its characters.
While I have thus far enjoyed the live streams of the Devs playing/showcasing various characters, environments etc (and I and totally enthralled about what I have seen, I am excited for the game and can't wait to play it to see how everything unfolds)...It is in this period of time when Production is coming to a close (being they have two months less a day as of the writing of this post before Launch) when I find there is not a lot of material for fans to sink our teeth into. Granted they are keeping their cards pretty close to their collective vests on this one for many reasons (and I wholeheartedly respect that, I do)...at the same time, a seeming lack of information has gotten me a little less excited about ANTHEM than in years past for other games (even Dragon Age II: Rise to Power had some really cool stuff, like the first trailer titled "Destiny" where we see Mage Hawke fighting the Qunari and using the Staff of Parthalan as Kate Mulgrew ("Flemeth") narrated-- I can't tell you how many times I watched that trailer, I loved the story it told, the fight sequences, the use of magic). I am hoping that in the closing weeks we fans can get a glimpse of trailers like that one for ANTHEM, trailers like the first Cinematic trailer. I love the part where you see people jumping into Javelin suits and a whole swarm of them taking off into battle (I think of the battle preparation sequence in the moments prior to the Battle of Hoth in Empire Strikes Back) when I watch that scene; the tension of preparing for battle, scrambling to meet the enemy and racing off to into an unknown, sparks a definite sense of caution v. threat, but also a sense of excitement and exploration, which I think perfectly captures the spirit of what ANTHEM is trying to convey.
I find myself torn between wanting to see new stuff, learn more about this new and mysterious world that I am hoping to venture out into, and wanting the Devs to keep as much of it a secret as possible until Launch Day so that I can be floored and totally amazed and surprised at what I am seeing, hearing, learning and experience from the very first moment I start the game. I'll never forget the first time I played the original Mass Effect and was gob-smacked at everything I saw, instantly being totally engrossed in the story. Something tells me that I will have that same feeling/experience with ANTHEM and I can't wait!

Working as intended.
Oh BTW, EDI reminded me that I need to say …

I expect it to be even more polarizing with Anthem since some of the BioWare crowd are singleplayer only types (no offense intended), and that it's a third-person shooter; which aren't as popular as FPS games.

I'm pretty close to the point where I'm going to stop seeking information and go into semi-no-spoiler seclusion. I still want to know more about the Fort Tarsis/Strider "by yourself" story content stuff. One solid free wander in the Fort, maybe talk to a merchant and buy something, and one or two stages of an NPC interaction, would cover it.
Then I don't wanna know no more! 🙉 🙈 🙊

Honestly, if I had to choose one last piece of information to learn before I buy or play the game-- it would be the official Recommended System Requirements. Because I wanna know if I'm gonna need to upgrade anything before I buy (but here's hoping that the requirements will be the same or similar to what they are for the Closed Alpha Test). I don't want ot learn anything more about the story that is told either through SP or Co-Op. Wouldn't mind learning more about some of the characters, but nothing overly spoiler-ish.

I don't see the system requirements changing, they have fixed hardware when it comes to consoles so I cannot see them adding to them to run the game on PC unless you want to go to 4K gaming. Once games start being released for a console generally system specs stay the same or will drop because they figure out little ways to improve performance.

It's not like ME3MP, DAIMP, and MEAMP didn't give them any practice. What possible downside is there if Anthem makes EA a decent amount of money? Neither total failure nor total (Overwatch, Fortnite scale) success. That's the sweet spot, imo. Make about twice as much money as any previous SP game from Bioware, and that should help fund DA and maybe even make a return to ME possible. You think a return to ME would be easier or happen sooner if there was no Anthem project at all?

Don't get me wrong, I love ME to death and it's what brought me to love BioWare, but I'm hoping they know how to balance their IPs right if Anthem blows up.

Anyone know have they talked more about what the Shaper Storms consist of? Another worlds? They separately ruled out exploring other worlds, so very unlikely. The hints they've dropped is that you're on the same world, but transformed, temporarily or permanently. No confirmed details that I'm aware of, but there are various speculative theories: they will be the equivalent of MMO raids -- some even speculate that they'll allow more than 4 players, but I think that's very unlikely, they will be the equivalent of Destiny Weekly events, they will be the equivalent of Destiny public events (though I don't see how that can be true, since again, only 4 people per server instance), they will be a way for them to slip in updates to the map and/or introduce new enemy types in an immersive way.
