While I agree it's riskier to try something new/innovate, and sometimes things just don't pan out (ME:A), I applaud studios that try to move the industry forward in some way. Absolutely but right after a botched attempt isn't better that the very first game you do after that is something more conservative in terms of innovation? Something more akin to what blizzard do, never something of truly ground-breaking but polished and nurtured to the point that is even better than the source material ? It can’t be helped, given that Anthem was in the works long before MEA was even started. If they had a choice, I’m sure they’d do exactly as you suggest.

And i still didn't get what he was trying to say. Producing sounds from mouth and at the same time not saying anything meaningfull seems like the kind of skill any executive need. Let me dumb it down for you. Gamers: good stories and the game being my personal power fantasy can ONLY be done in SP. Casey: That belief system is costing us a lot of money, so we found a way to make that all work for MP coop. But if you insist, you can play it solo.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m feeling vindicated. I wanted them to tackle the “story-centric game can’t be MP coop” problem, and speculated as to how they might go about. Great to see they are confirming that intent.

They're chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow here, but props to them if they even come close to pulling it off. Also, a game very much like Dragon Age? Another fantasy IP? I believe he’s just hinting at the next DA game, which I think still hasn’t officially been announced though we all know it’s being worked on.

Great to see they are confirming that intent. I don't want to mince words but I missed the part about story telling. I guess it comes down to how "adventure" is going to be interpreted.

there's a wee video that was made before he left that showed what was the beginning of Anthem ( I have no idea where it is but I've seen it posted here before). That would be this, from 4 years ago...
