I'm talking about a Battle Royale between games, not the online feature.

4 games appear to be dropping on February 22nd 2019 *

* Crackdown 3 trailer just cites 'February 2019, though media sites are quoting 22nd.

They are fairly different games, though I guess that means more games competing for the marketing (as they say) 'share of voice'.
And E3 isn't over yet, there's still room for more games to drop on top of this launch window.

What do you think, an issue or a non-issue?

Depends on which of these games interest you and how much money you're willing to spend that month. As a general rule, having a crowded launch window isn't particularly favourable but we'll see.

Of all the things I've seen on the battlefields of the Frontier, the Pilot is the true dominant force.

Fast and agile...

Graceful, yet devastating.

Perceptive, resourceful, and relentless.

I don't really see them getting in the way of each other.

Non issue. They aren't even the same genre of game as Anthem. Just Metro and Days Gone may be similar but the latter is a console only game.

I'm as free as the dust in the solar wind.

I am expecting Crackdown to be delayed again, Days Gone doesn't seem to be aiming for the same Crowd as Anthem and the same for Metro.

And Red Dead Redemption 2.

Both of those will be the big ticket games this fall so far that have the ability to retain. Outside of the standard Battlefields or CoD at least.

Your a bad man who should feel bad.

Anthem got some leeway i'd say in it's release date, question for me specifically is will it have the content to keep me playing when Division 2 rolls out in march

Expect to see this thread used as evidence that Anthem is a Fortnite clone.

Fallout 76 is the one I think that’s shockingly similar to Anthem in terms of mixing story with coop. The 4 month lead time might work out for both companies benefit, **unless** Bethesda’s beta runs over, which seems likely.

Not sure about Days Gone but to my mind there's an FPS game which I hate FPS games 8/10 times and Crackdown, which due its X-Box exclusivity I never cared for and Anthem; the Iron Man sim. Hm... I'm gonna pop on some Ghostface Killah and get Anthem.

Two things you can bank money on with Fallout...it'll be a buggy mess and the story will make MEA seem like Hemingway. One of the few novelties to Bethesda games has been openness to modding. Wonder how much they'll allow given the online MP aspect to the game? I'm anticipating major raging from the fanbase (assuming it hasn't already begun).

I'm sure it'll still make gangbusters money, FO4 and Skyrim for all their "streamlining" and "dumbing down" of Bethesda systems still made money hand over fist, Skyrim so much that its being re-released nearly endlessly

Oh, it's begun all right, though about no offline SP mostly. Takes some of the heat off of Bioware for no romances and no offline, lol. There does appear to be modding of some limited sort confirmed, but yeah, modding multiplayer, even coop, is probably not supported -- too much opportunity for cheating. Like you could mod yourself the key codes to the missile base with infinite missiles.
