What I'd like?
A THOROUGH walk through about the storytelling and solo game as well as character interaction
What I expect?
More decks pretending they are players in a shared world gave faking interactions and showcasing another cookie cutter vertical slice of gameplay.

Except they have mentioned their "ususal mantra" time and again when talking about Anthem.
Must have missed it. Link(s) ?
Nope, don't collect them and don't have time to search for them. Hudson, Gamble, Flynn would be the ususal suspects. Even then so far they haven't really said much at all. Except co-op with your friends, action-RPg and traditional Bioware storytelling.

"Traditional storytelling" is not cinematic. It's what I expected... no deep characters and interactions. Makes sense with FPS in the HUB(s) and switching to 3rd person in combat. Also, kiss goodbye to the DA/ME style of morality choices. Come to think about it, the only choices the players have is mission selections. "Story telling" is probably Codex Entries for background purposes and mission briefs. It's a MP coc-op game after all. Just look at ME3MP and MEAMP as your examples. Expand that and we get Anthem.

LOL...
I interpret his corp. speak as non DA or ME style cinematic story telling. It's a mp co-op game not a sp RGP. It's supposed to be Destinyeesh like and FP view in the hub(s). Good luck with "Traditional Bioware Style story telling cinematic" with that change.
But everyone is free to swallow "traditional storytelling" in any manner they wish.

Right.
If Anthem is an RPG, Bio would have said so from the start. They didn't and so it isn't.
Action RPG, I believe, is what the studio said. Whatever that means... At the moment, I'm playing the waiting game. Trailer #2 will show us more.
Action RPG has also been used to describe Mass Effect and DA games after DAO. So... I don’t know what Anthem will be. I would be one of those that don’t classify mass effect or dragon age as true RPGs, action/RPG definitely fits however. Both franchises are lacking in the number game and extensive role playing for me to consider them as nothing but “RPG”. So if anthem is to be an action/RPG, I expect it to simply be just like mass effect/dragon age but with even less focus on character interaction if co-op is to be a focus in a shared world shooter. People don’t care to much for that stuff In the multiplayer world of things.

Was reversed in Destiny, fp out in world tp in social, an they managed cutscenes fine. If there is cutscenes, which i've no idea on same as yourself but have no reason to think there isn't i have no problem them going the Destiny route with them if grped or even the swtor route for conversation if again grped, swtor actually a good exajple of there traditional storytelling with cutscenes, player choice an all online, whether or not you, me or anyone on these boards like swtor is irrelevant but it is a example of a BioWare online game with everything BioWare in it and im sure that experience combined with me3,da:i an me:a mp has taught them something
For me, Anthem done right is the natural next step for BioWare but only time an the obvious release will tell if it's done right but i sure as hell aint gonna beat it with a dead stick knowing nigh nothing about it an certainly not before i've tried it for myself an even then i'll just shelve it with the tag "no for me" if indeed it turns out no for me.
Traditional Storytelling is probably different for everyone with ofcourse ppl pushing there versions of it as the only right version but for me all it means is a good, enjoyable story, for BioWare im sure it means that plus choice plus companions, an at end of day we can all argue what wee enjoyed or thought good but all you need to do is look at there catalogue of games to know exactly what they means an no matter how you spin it Anthem being online changes nothing

Just as you are free to insert vast assumptions about the design of Anthem and what can and can’t be done alongside multiplayer into your interpretation.

And there's the problem, we don't really know what sort of game it is. The 7 minutes we've seen does not include deep story and character content. - That may be because we only saw 7 minutes.
- That may be because it isn't there.
The optimist in me would like it to be the former because I'd like to play that more than the latter. We'll know in c.55 days... (perhaps)

More decks pretending they are players in a shared world gave faking interactions and showcasing another cookie cutter vertical slice of gameplay. My understanding and I could be wrong like normal, is they didn't have any voice actors during that time because of the voice actor's strike and it was probably easier to fake VoIP instead of trying to put anything behind the characters themselves. If they pull it again I wouldn't be pleased.

Microsoft has paid for the marketing to be with XBox with Anthem so they will very likely have it on their stage.

I don't know whether Casey said it or not, but the phrase "traditional storytelling" is essentially a 2 word slogan designed to develop hype for the game rather than imparting any actual information. It's meaningless.
Didn't hear Casey say this, and I'd roll my eyes if he did.

My guess is that this game will be sort of like Diablo - you may have companions and a neat story but no real depth and nuance.
I have no problem with Bioware creating a different style of game. I will likely play the solo version, but am not expecting to love it. I do look forward to DA4 though... as long as they keep producing games like that - I don't care if they also go in other directions
