it's finally here anthem has reached its alpha milestone so what is there to
expect from anthem now? What should your reaction be?
iX-Acht here and I'm back with a new Anthem video it's time to inform you
that Bioware announced a moment ago that their new game has reached the alpha
milestone, some five months before the game's official release. In this video,
I'll be using footage of Anthem's latest trailer our world my story to give you
feedback on the reaction BioWare's announcement caused, what it implies and
what you can expect from anthem what we know "every part of the game is in and
functioning" and teams are now working on "bug fixing testing and tuning" which
first means that what you see is what you get and don't expect what you see to
be fundamentally different from what you got in Mass Effect Andromeda!
The similarities I pointed out in a previous video are here even more obvious.
The graphics we saw in the trailer feels very much like Mass Effect Andromeda.
Let's hope all facial animations will be working this time! In terms of gameplay
the similarities between the two titles are even more prominent. After all the
Javelins are like the profiles in Andromeda--your game is not limited to one profile
Unlike all the previous Mass Effect titles but unlike Andromeda, the single-player,
you can't change your 'profile' in game it's like Andromeda's multiplayer met the campaign
in terms of gameplay and had a baby called "Anthem".
What worries players is that anthem reached alpha five months before release
while both Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect Andromeda had one additional
month for bug-fixing testing and tuning and
these games are what they are. So have the devs master the Frosbyte engine?
Was Mass Effect Andromeda's sacrifice for Anthem worth it? What worries me,
in particular, is when you peel the rhetoric off Casey Hudson's announcement, when
you read behind the line: "there's a ton of work ahead" and "hitting the milestone on
time is a tremendous achievement"??? Nah! It's your job! Clearly Bioware is no
longer at the helm and changing the release date with early access now
available and stuff would most likely cause controversy.
My job is that I make videos and I make music and yeah I like to plan release
dates - but in case the product is not ready I can postpone it. The difference
between you and me, BioWare is more famous and people have expectations. I can release
an unfinished product people won't care but if you do you will have to live up
to their --our!-- expectations but let's focus on what's good. The key word to
characterize Anthem so far would be hybridity. Generic hybridity, first, the
game is described as an "re-invention of personal narrative in a multiplayer game".
What about the story, lore and universe? It looks like a mixture of different genres
with a universe wavering from science fiction to more fantasy-like elements.
The world looks lively. We had more information about the different factions
in the game and about the elements and the gameplay can be expected to be as
fluid as it was in Mass Effect Andromeda which, let's face it, was one thing
that game did right. Let's hope the story makes it and forgettable. I'll keep on
posting information videos about Anthem in the months to come and in the
meantime thank you for your support!
