With so much focus on (and excitement for) the Javelins. Is Anthem basically Power Rangers? And what is it about Power Armor / Mech Suits / Iron Man type combat platforms that are so appealing?     |

Ya know what would be funny? OK, maybe funny for me, probably just an eye roll for the rest of you.
BioWare hires the actors from the original Power Rangers to do a cameo VA in some kind of side mission … a group of Javelins doing a mission that "your" group stumbles across. Then toss in a few "trademark" lines from the original show (I never watched it, so I wouldn't know what those lines might be), play it straight up … then, once completing the side mission, fly away to the next mission.

Which Power Rangers show? There is like 9999 of them. lol. Also, Larian beat them to it, sorta (not the same actors, but still). |

Power Rangers have mystical power. the Javelins are just power suits... The "technomage" Javelin might have some magical elements instead of being 100% tech for all we know. BioWare did call the setting "science-fantasy", it's not an "alter/future Earth" or a space-opera like many people seems to believe just because the technological level is well past the medieval era. |

Lol. I was going to use old anime like bubblegum crisis and other shows from that era for javelin design inspiration.
But, man if our enemies explode into lettuce I'll laugh my ass off and give the game five stars right there. Or ten stars or however many stars it takes.

Well Three possibilities I see: 1. Transformer Ripoff.  2: Suit turns evil: Everyone Run!  This is possible if the suits merge with pilots combined with the suits merging with the other suits -end result:  Basically a rip off where ever you go... |

Better question would be if Anthem is basically Warframe if you narrow it down to just the suits...

Im looking forward to the progression system.
Can I mod my suit to be the fastest? Tankiest? Most powerful based off my preferences?

The mech suits are too small for Power Rangers. But it is a multiplayer game, and if the Javelins are customizable with different colours ...

With so much focus on (and excitement for) the Javelins. Is Anthem basically Power Rangers? And what is it about Power Armor / Mech Suits / Iron Man type combat platforms that are so appealing? The mech-suit concept is appealing because it takes something we can all relate to - human beings (and with them their emotions, personalities, and limitations) - and makes them far more powerful and resilient. It's a power fantasy, and power fantasies are loved by a lot of people for taking them away from their otherwise powerless lives. |

It's a power fantasy, and power fantasies are loved by a lot of people for taking them away from their otherwise powerless lives. To add to this: I have flown in my dreams, a couple of times. One time I knew the secret, was laughing at how simple it was, and when I awoke I had lost it. I don't think I'm unique. We see birds, we read about pteradactyls, we watch flying squirrels, and we emulate the best we can with crazy flight suits and balls. Give me a power suit, make my dream safe and real. This is what I want IRL, why wouldn't I want it in a video game? The game holds potential to me if it has some story and has things to explore... Fetchy quests I don't think will bother me so much flying through air and water  It all comes down to "SP" implementation, and how necessary the co-op is. I think if the game is awesome, the co-op won't bother me. Good grief am I getting mildly excited for this game? Maybe... Definitely curious. |

I don't see the equivalence. Even the "power armour", theme and enemy is totally different. Neither is Titan Fall or the Battlemech series.
Anthem uses a personal armour suit as opposed to a glorified tank with legs. Rocket Man from the 40/50s used a "jet pack" but I doubt anyone would equate Anthem suits with Rocket Man's.
