Current Events > Bioware gives another Anthem Update

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://blog.bioware.com/2020/10/28/anthem-update-javelin-gameplay-builds/

Here we are again with the NEXT Anthem blog. Better late than neverreally excited to share a glimpse into the thoughts and ideas behind the great work the team has been exploring. I hope this finds you well and everyone is staying safe.

As discussed on Twitter, this blog will focus around the ideas being tested with Javelin gameplay, builds, and skill trees. The design team (with your feedback) has put together what we feel are the main opportunities for improvement with the current systems and the high level goals were experimenting with. Side note: the picture above is not Star Destroyer ASCII art, but an actual skill tree in Frostbite!

Please remember, the ideas, mockups, and direction are all works in progress. We are testing and exploring ideas that we are excited to share with you for your feedback, but things can (and usually do) change.

This game is literally selling for $2 in Australia now. I don't know if it's impressive or depressing that they still haven't let go.

It's so sad...what happened to Bioware. Man, they were a great company back in 03/04/05/06-timeframe

It's like they're still trying to finish making the game long after release.

I mean I know games these days always work on the game after release.

But in this game's case, it's just a more extreme situation, where they really are literally still designing and creating the base game itself.

It's so incredibly bizarre that this even exists.

The fact that they banned players for using glitches to get more loot killed any good will theyll ever get out of me. What a bunch of chodes.

Yeah, I don't understand why they don't just let this game go and move to the next project. No one cares by now, and gamers are just going to remember the first bad impression.

EA shoved a glowing hot iron spike up their ass, and used foul necromancy to reanimate the corpse.

Jade Empire and KOTOR were like the 2 best reasons to have an Xbox back in the day.

Now look at Bioware nowadays...ugh

It's funny. In a lot of wars 2007 was a great year for Xbox. Halo 3, Bioshock and Mass Effect.

But they also lost Bungie and Bioware as exclusive developers that year. Which I think really damaged the brand long term. They really needed to do their best to hold onto them. Instead they thought the Halo brand was what mattered most.

Only in the last couple of years have they maybe, finally filled those gaps with acquisitions but that's still a decade where they lost a lot of momentum.
