I feel that this will scratch the itch that Destiny missed (twice). One thing that always bugged me about D1/2 was that they had this huge focus on "customization" and the only time you ever saw your toon looking cool was when you're gambling on Everse crap in social spaces or doing a super that lasts for 10s. Not having a 3rd person option was baffling. I also want something bigger, and BioWare has at least proven that they can do sweeping fantasy/ SciFi landscapes and stories.

Now it remains to be seen how much life-essence the necromantic lords at EA will siphon from this game and its playerbase. I'm hopeful Star Wars has taught them a lesson for a few years.

drives me nuts that Anthem and the helmet image aren't exactly symmetrical though
I about to post similarly about the helmet. But it being slightly upward on the right side. Its maddening to me like a slight headache that won't go away.

Yah, kinda with you on this. Love mechs, love BioWare... But I know for a fact I won't enjoy any of what this game actually seems to be, when it comes to multiplayer/GaaS/loot 'n' shoot/whatever.

I really need to stop looking at the preview stuff, honestly--I know this isn't going to be for me, and that's fine, but I'm just setting myself up for more disappointment. It's like when I watched the TOR trailers, knowing full well that I'd end up hating (in a, 'I hate playing this' sort of way, not a shitty 'ugh, fuck BioWare!!11!' sorta way) the game itself.

Hope the people on the bottom are able to take down armored Galactus in the background.

Interesting box art! I'm hype for the game, if only for the reason it will be the next big game my friends and I can play together. Hopefully it will be cross-play enabled.

Will this game have a single player only mode? Where I don't want anyone to come in my game at all and don't need to be online to play it. Or is this a strictly Destiny game? If its the latter :( will have to pass.

The cover art looks completely unremarkable and generic to me, but I'm not the target audience for this game anyway.

Really hope this is good but its hard for me to have faith in EA or Bioware anymore. At least between this, the division 2, and year 2 of destiny my shoot and loot cravings should be taken care of.

I will just say that the flying is not a loading screen trick. No loading once in the main area, which is very big, unless you are entering dungeons or the home base. There is a 'ceiling' to the world but other than that you can fly till your jets overheat.
You probably cannot say but the ceiling height, does it feel good or restricting?

Sounds awesome. Any insight into how big this "main area" is? Does it feel like Destiny with it's small spaces with corridors, or is it wide open?

With Destiny floundering, this could be EA's chance to eat Activision's lunch if they don't fuck the whole thing up with goobery mtx asshattery.

And you know the suits are just tripping over each other to fuck it up with goobery mtx asshattery. Their drool is practically flooding the streets of Redwood City at this point.

Feels good. The people who hit it will be the ones just testing the limits. They don't want anyone standing on the highest mountains cheesing the game.

FUCK YEAH INSIDER INFO WOOOO

I've been talking about this game for the past couple days with a buddy at work. This game just ended up becoming the one I'm most excited to see more of now that E3 is almost here.

Triller is making the wait a little hard now. I want to see more right now! lol

Makes sense. Could potentially break the flow of the game but I certainly hope the freedom of flying around is not too heavily restricted.

Feels much more wide open than Destiny especially vertically. Corridors wind in and throughout the open world.
Oh shit, these sound really good. I'm getting hopeful now.

I'm both excited and cautious about this game. I love BioWare. I love Sci-Fi. I LOVED Mass Effect (ending aside). But, I hate grindy MMOs. If they can deliver a solid story experience that I can play solo if I want, I'll be happy. I don't think that will be too hard for them since they did it with SWTOR, the only MMO I could ever play precisely because it was so story focused.

You probably won't be able to answer this but since you mentioned dungeons, i'm going to assume there will be raids as well? And can the jetpack be upgraded (speed/duration)?

Triller I appreciate what you're doing but you're making the wait even harder than it should be. It's gonna be a loooooong ass week.

This wasn't really on my radar, but I like the sound of a looter-shooter with some robo-suit action. I'll keep an eye/ear out at E3 and see if it musters any hype.

The big head does kinda make the character look like a villain though. Kinda like what was done for Saren in the cover of ME1.

God I so hope this fills that Destiny hole. All they have to do is look at Destiny and listen to some of the stuff the community has been asking for for ages.

To be honest I've tried to avoid story spoilers at work. Our trailer isn't a story trailer so that made it easier. There are choices you make though. I'm not sure how they pan out. I didn't want to ruin it for myself lol

Aww, everything sounds cool but this is a bummer for me. I'm sure it will be a fun trailer either way but I hope some meaty lore content gets revealed this E3.

People can say a lot of EA games, but they cant say they dont look good. I think they will look that good, I think what they are being a bit disingenuous on is how open the map is being portrayed by the trailers/.

There might be more than one video shown - as shown in the details in the OP, there's a trailer that shows the details of the game including story, as well as mentioning they will be showing gameplay. I'm assuming that may be two different videos, therefore Triller may have worked on the later?
