Anthem

This looks incredible.  I'm a big Bioware fan, so I'm super excited.  It's coming to PC too which is perfect for me.  Great trailer imo.

Looks funking awesome. The world itself makes me think of Pandora from Avatar, it's so damn pretty. It being a multiplayer sci-fi shooter instantly made me think of Destiny, which I've already got Destiny 2 pre-ordered, but I will gladly get this as well. The open world is cool and I like the dynamic stuff like the big monster and the storm. That dude floating at the end made me think of Warlocks from Destiny, though I'll probably end up using something like the Colossus since I love playing tanks. Glad it's coming to PS4. My only issue was with the trailer having the fake gamers talking sort of thing that always feels way too forced, but it was mostly kept to a minimum thankfully.

Yeah it looks like Destiny, but good. You know with real open worlds, and fun gameplay.

Destiny is lots of fun while this also looks like it'll be lots of fun for similar reasons. To say one's gameplay is fun and the other's isn't when they share many gameplay similarities and genre conventions doesn't make sense. And I don't believe Destiny was advertised as an open world game like in the vein of Skyrim or anything, just that it had large environments. I know Destiny gets a lot of flak (more about lack of story than gameplay problems), but while it had a somewhat weak launch it became a very strong game.

 

I wonder if Anthem will have PvP or challenging group activities like raids or anything. I do like the idea of dungeon runs with friends, at least that's what I got from that part where they talked about going through a place later with Kim.

 

But god I can't get over how funking pretty the game is. Like, holy sheet, it's just incredible. I'm guessing it won't be that quality on a normal PS4 or anything, but hot damn.
