This is your first OT? Wow! Knocked it out of the park. Nice work. Hopefully us EA access basic folks can preload tomorrow.

Lovely OP! Looking forward to Friday morning (PST) to experience a new sci-fi story from BioWare. Hopefully we'll have PC performance thread on Friday too, as I (and others) will likely need some guidance with video settings (really struggled with maintaining a stable frame rate during the VIP Demo)

Thanks :) I did the design for the main demo post too, which Cornbread78 posted. But yeah this was my first Solo effort at an OT.

Fantastic OT with the best title, thanks for the good work, iFirez.

Preloading the game now...
I hope people are happy that I let the vote happen and that I listened to the community because I was never ever going to choose that title if it was just me picking it.

Thank you iFirez Great job with the OT
Thank you, and thank you to everyone saying similar. Makes me want to maybe tackle some other OT's in the future.

That is a fantastic OT title.

Looking forward to seeing impressions of the full game though. Will determine whether I should keep the GCU preorder I have or not.

Can't wait. Got legion of dawn edition ready to go on my X.
It's either ranger or colossus as my first pick

How does the 10 hour trial work? Will it just hard shut off after that time expires even if I'm in the middle of something?

Really hope this game has substantial content. Wouldn't want a Destiny type scenario where we are waiting for big expansions to flesh it out.

Thanks Shy :) I wouldn't have been able to post this without Datajoy, I wouldn't have had the experience doing Anthem thread designs if it wasn't for Corn and Guillaume is my go to with all things Anthem for feedback, discussion and just a nice chat. Our PM on here is at 3 pages long right now... we have a problem.

Sweet OT dude, had no doubts it would be after seeing your hard work on graphics and videos in the run up. Thanks for all the effort, it looks ace and is informative.

Question, is there a free week or something to that effect for Origin Premier? I mean it is only $19.99 for a month but I'd kind of like to know if I'll even play the game first before sinking into another subscription.

I thought it was included completely in Premier and there was a week early access for it.

No. You just get access to the game a week early.

$14.99, but no.

What you could do is start with origin basic and use the $5 as a 10-hour demo to see if you want to stick with it or not, then upgrade to premier if you choose (you get refunded the difference via time remaining)

I believe he means like a free trial of the service itself to demo the game at no cost

Colossus looked way more viable in the stream than it felt in my limited time during the demo, won't be leaving it until last anymore (sorry, Interceptor).

Poor Chad inverting all those controls and still hitting pretty much every obstacle available and hanging on to those charged powers for no good reason. It looked solid when Ben had the pad even if they only played on normal.

What a great OT!

Thanks for Dark Mode ability chart.

How can I start pre-load on Origin Basic? I only see link to upgrade to Premier.

Finnaly the OT for iFirez ability chart went up! And theres a dark version too? Talk about player choice!

What is Anthem?

/s

Just kidding, you did amazing bro! I Just think the Conviction banner should have a little more context to it, maybe saying its a short by Neil Blokamp?

You're very welcome. And your only problem, is that you all top humans.

So apparently people cant play the 10 hour trial on friday... even though EA advertised it:

That EA Help agent is not very helpful. Because Origin Premier members can already add Anthem to their library from the vault they can preload ahead of Friday's early access launch. However, the trial for the game (for Origin Basic members) will go live in the 'trials' section of Origin and be downloadable on Friday... so basically little to no pre-load for Basic members.

I'm planning on updating that image tomorrow once we have the actual film. I just grabbed the image from the thumbnail and title for that. But when the actual film is out tomorrow I'll update it for sure :)

Interesting that I can't pre-install to be ready for the 10 hour trial. There is no reason for this but consumer friendly is not to be expected with EA so it is what it is.

Terrific op btw great job!

I really hope this turns out good.

And coincidentally, if it does, EA is looking mighty good with this and Apex Legends. I just hope BioWare was able to pull this off. If they can make a great story campaign set in a Destiny mold (but again with actual story) then they may just do it.

I'm somewhat intrigued by Anthem, but gonna have to wait for impressions from early adopters to see if I want to pick it up. The demo's performance was bad, so I want to know how the final build runs on PS4 Pro before jumping in.

Balls I got a meeting at 1pm Friday so won't get to play much before Sunday. Sure I'll get my 10 hrs in before the launch.
