Anthem

ZiabR

How many of you are picking this up? Parent company is EA but its developed by Bioware who are normally top notice.

Open Beta starts on the 1st Feb for 3 days.

I really want this to be good and will likely pick it up.

origin/EA had the wrong date on the game. Bioware stated 15th for ages.

Well the Soundtrack is available now at least if it's part of your bundle, and 24bit Wav too. Nice to see a focus on the quality rather than just dumping it as MP3s by default (since you can always re-encode down if you need but obviously not up).

Are story missions replayable in this? I'm planning on playing through with the missus and wondering if it's safe to blast on myself with the story and then go back and play with her once she's got the time.

Yes you can replay the story missions,I think it is done in an instance fashion as in you group up and enter a looking for group queue.

ZiabR

Cool video release alright. It reminders me of the short series that was released for Halo called Halo Nightfall.

Cheers mate, looking forward to getting stuck in. Playing on Xbox though so I'm torn between blasting through with the 10 hour trial this weekend and leaving myself craving more, or holding off and just using the 10 hours to get access next Wednesday night, first world problems at their finest lol.

Xbox One 10 hour timer. Does it start and count 10 hours as soon as you login for the first time (even if your not playing) or is it 10 hours of gaming time. Cant find confirmation anywhere.

From previous experience it is from when the game opens.

I believe its game time - just make sure that you close the application when you're finished playing, as the time counts down if the xbox is set to 'instant resume'

Grumpypants

As above it's game turned on time. If you leave it in the menus or the console in rest mode the timer still counts down.

Lol typical..no servers available

Matchmaking failed. No surprise it isn't working...online games never do right at launch.

dreamers75

I had no issues public match making for the 1st 2 missions, other players were idiots but no problems finding them.

Kiith

Yeah, it's working fine now. Looks great, and no performance issues so far.

KilOit

Plays better than the demo at least, only did 1 mission before I had to run

Kiith

Played the first two there, and really enjoyed them. Gun play is decent, and flight controls seem pretty tight.

Kiith

Kiith_Sa is my Origin ID, in case anyone wants to team up later.

Compared to the Beta performance is much better, and the visuals aren't as washed out. Gun play has also been improved. I'm trying the Interceptor and really enjoying it, though I think only scratching the surface so far on how best to use it I really do like the extra maneuverability, it's almost Warframe-ish

The Audio is very good, soundtrack is excellent. The Guns and Jetpack activations I think could be punchier but the ambient sound design is superb. Voice acting is still not great though decent.

So performance and stats:
Settings: 4k, Ultra - exceptions: no AA, Chromatic, Motion Blur or Depth of Field (I don't like any of them).
CPU: i7-8700K with all cores OC'd to 4.9
RAM: 16GB PC3200
GPU: 2080Ti with 13% OC.

Tarsis is hovering right around 60, jumps to 70 occasionally.
Outdoors averaging right around 60, drops to 50-55 or so in busy firefights.

That all sounds very complicated. Thank **** for consoles.

Don't give up the day job for something in the review business anyway :pac:

Played some more this morning, and still enjoying it. Unlocked the Storm (after starting with the Ranger) and it's a lot of fun. Prefer it so far anyway.

In case anyone is as stupid as me, and couldn't figure out how to change the colour of your Javelin, you can actually click the colour to the right of the material you select. I didn't realise that was where you changed it, and have been the default colour since the start.

Dcully

Im about 5 hours in and starting to get bored.
Im on the story mission where i have to unlock some tombs and to do so i need to do random boring crap and lots of it to open the doors of these tombs, mind numbing to say the least.
Its just forcing you out into the freeplay world which is actually empty and bland.
Fingers crossed i can stomach this part and progress.
Still loads of annoying stuff, the so called running in the fort place is still painfully slow, i mean WTF are they thinking?
No FOV slider is a massive mistake on PC.
Loading screens are far too long even on a high spec PC with games installed to a SSD.
No waypoints lol again wtf.

I do like the loot system and the randomness similar to Diablo and path of exile.
Looking at rolls im getting on gear be they crafted or drops points to a robust loot system so far.

Way too much quality games out to bother with it. A Destiny clone is such a waist of gamers time.

EA effectively done what they did to Titanfall 2 by releasing Battlefield 1 in near shot of it's release.

Everyone is playing Apex Legends.

I've a feeling this could be damaging for Bioware and it's future.
Where as I thought EA would destroy Respawn.

Not really a waste of gamer's time if they're enjoying it is it? I stuck about 6 hours in last night with my other half and had a blast, outside of Resi 2 it's the most fun I've had this year with a game.

I see what you mean about the release window, but I don't expect Apex Legends to eat into Anthem's player base the same way BF1 ruined Titanfall. That was a case of two competitive MP games going head to head, whereas we are dealing with two separate genres in this instance.

dreamers75

I find I have enough HD space for both and Far Cry (fcuk Metro it lost the February War Of The Games)

Just finished the 3rd mission and seen the Freemark video, if Bioware do not let us have a fight like that at some point I will be disappointed

ie more than 4 Javelins together.
