What you’ll actually do when you’re playing BioWare’s ‘Anthem’

Anthem feels like an easy game to categorize: It’s BioWare’s take on Destiny. 

That’s how it’s been viewed since the initial announcement at Electronic Arts’ E3 2017 showcaseAnthem‘s subsequent appearance at E3 2018 only reinforced that thinking. But when you pause to really interrogate the idea — BioWare’s take on Destiny — a simple question surfaces.

What does that actually mean?

“What we really wanted to get to with Anthem was a platform where we could deliver experiences more easily, for a longer period of time,” executive producer Mark Darrah said during an E3 interview.  Read more…

For the next Xbox and PlayStation, game streaming will be front and center

E3 2018 is in full swing, and, as expected, all’s quiet on the hardware front — but the future has been teased with one word: streaming.

Streaming not in the Twitch sense, where you watch someone play a video game for fun, but rather an à la carte style of selecting a game and being able to play it in seconds without waiting for lengthy downloads or installs.

It’s a great idea, but even with streaming, you’ll still need something to play the game on, and streamed games won’t signal the end for consolesMicrosoft announced at E3 that it’s officially working on the next Xbox (codenamed “Scarlett”), and PlayStation will likely follow suit with another console, so that war is far from over. The difference is that the next generation of consoles will be designed for streaming from the start. Read more…

‘Anthem’ is BioWare’s whole new world at E3 2018

Anthem is a smorgasbord of water cooler moments. At least, that’s how I felt when we were invited to BioWare Edmonton to spend a day with the development team, learning as much as we could about Anthem. I’ll be honest, I know pieces of what Anthem is going to become when it’s finally finished and released on February 22, 2019 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. But like everyone outside of BioWare, the whole that all those parts amount to is still something of a mystery.

But here’s what I knowAnthem is an incredible buffet of stuff you know and love from the past decades of games and movies, realized in this cryptic, shared-world shooter. It’s part Iron Man, I thought, as I jetted around and barrel-rolled in a super-powered rig with the kind of locomotion that would make Insomniac Games (Sunset Overdrive, Marvel’s Spider-Man) give a knowing nod of approval. It’s part Halo — a science-fantasy story about “the Gods” who started the planet and disappeared, leaving their mystifying and errant construction tools lying around to the welfare and woe of the inhabitants.
