The game's 8 months out, this is probably as much as they have shown of one of their games this far out. There had been no published Dragon Age Inquisition gameplay this far out (that would land 4 months from launch) Similar for Mass Effect Andromeda with no squeak of combat gameplay until 4 months out. You have to go back to Mass Effect 3 for equivalent reveal at a distance, and that was a mature IP.
Given how poorly the development went for both those games, this isn't as positive as you intended it to be.

Hmm. Could it be because the world is dynamic? The hour of the day and weather changing at the same rate for everyone. Isn't that only possible if it's server-based?

So it's got dedicated servers. A lesson learned by the past p2p MP from Bioware? Got the message that a stable connection and matchmaking is a key thing in player retention for MP?

Also from what they said on twitter the game missions play more as a SWTOR flashpoint (which can be solo or up to 4 players) than the typical MMO thing.

Don't see the issue. * People are online making these comments. * Excluding those with really shitty internet or scalping data usage plans, but those are just one of those things.
Are we living in the same world? Bioware's never tried to hide that this was MP focused. Indeed, this was always a multiplayer game you could choose to solo. You can't solo Mass Effect multiplayer offline. Nor this. The problem is BioWare. As I recall, with what I played with MEA's mp the experience was not good. It was just your standard wave co-op mp and I got dropped a lot of times during sessions. I just stopped playing altogether. It wasn't my Internet.

Meh... the always online doesn't matter to me, fallout 76 will be always online and I'm excited. The fact is, the game just looks dull. Destiny and Warframe has already done what this game is trying to do. I don't see anything it does better. They say the story will be intergel, but yet they only show the combat. It's the same thing they did with Andromeda; they wow the audience with the combat and environment. We still don't even know the concept of the game story.

So, specifically, what's supposed to be different from Destiny? Actually having a story would be my first guess.
Also from what they said on twitter the game missions play more as a SWTOR flashpoint (which can be solo or up to 4 players) than the typical MMO thing.
To be clear:
Technically we can play solo. However, according to Bio, the avg quest = appx 20 mins and that is with four players. If you look at the original demo showing the damage numbers, the enemy is basically bullet sponges. ... with four players... imagine the courageous solo gamer. How long do you think the quest will take? 1HR + ?. Also, Has Bio nailed down the saves? Are there auto checkpoints? Will the solo player be moved back 20, 40 minutes ?
Yeah... we can play solo... technically but will it be fun?

Won't know until I play it and I think just assuming what it is going to be like just closes doors instead of just waiting to see what the final product will be like. For all we know its like Diablo when you add more people to a party that increases the difficulty of the creatures you are fighting, but I still play it solo unless I am playing with people I know most of the time and at times it does take a little longer to complete solo, but it is still fun.

I could be wrong but wasn't the original demo a Stronghold, so it couldn't be run by Solo players or any group less than 4 anyway?

I just googled - yes it is a stronghold so single players won't be playing it anyway, so the worry Sartoz expressed about it not being fun for single players is a bit obselete as they won't be playing it and it's deliberately designed for a group of 4.

If the enemy strength is a function of the number of players in the mission, that would be fair.
