I only have a PS4 so I'll be going with that. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance on the Pro in the demo, though I'm only on a 1080p set so I might be spoilt in that regard - hopefully we can optimise for framerate in the full game.

Anthem Prelaunch Discussion Thread (Origin Premier/EA Access: Feb 15th) - Time To Fly FreelancEra

Most of my friends play on PS4, but with how the demo ran I simply cannot support that platforms release.
I will most likely play on PC and hope they allow crossplay or cross saves at some point. I'll double dip to play with my friends when they do.
That's the first thing that actually came to mind, but when you pronounce it simply as javelin, it kind of doesn't work.
For me X1X, I am sure that one will, eventually, be the best performing console version. The widescreen PC support is also tempting me....
Countdown to Early Access:
Countdown to Worldwide Launch:
The countdowns are still ticking away, watching these makes the wait seem even slower.
Little confused about launch. It comes out on PC first? When can Xbox/EA Access users get their 10 hours in?

If you're an Origin Access Premier member you get full access to the game starting the 15th Feb (10:30pm UTC - 14th Feb) - Origin Access Basic and EA Access Xbox One members get access to the game too but on a 10 hour trial basis, meaning they can play whatever they want but are limited to only 10 hours of the game.
The games official launch on 22nd February (5:00am UTC - 22nd Feb) is for all platforms, pre-orders...etc. So in reality only Origin Access Premier members get the full game a week early and Basic/EA Access members get 10 hours of it a week early.
TLDR;
PC Origin Premier Members - Full Game 15th
PC Origin Basic Members - 10 hour trial 15th
Xbox One EA Access Members - 10 hour trial 15th
PC Non-Origin Members, Xbox One, PS4 - Full Game 22nd
I'm thinking you shouldn't judge performance based on the demo build. Wait for the full game analysis!
So no way for a Xbox person to become a premier member with EA Access I guess is the question I was getting at.
Oh well, I'll spend those 10 hours wisely, I usually do, will just be happy to play.
This is true and I do expect performance improvements on the X, however the timeliness of said improvements is important. Thankfully I do have EA access so I can try the trial on the 15th.
Doubt it. Also most reviews will be review in progress also the coming weeks. As usually with these games.
Not a fan of the early launch shenanigans, wish everyone had the same options or that none were present at all and everyone had access to the game on the same date (as one of the devs also wanted). I'm planning to play it on ps4 since that's where most of my friends will be but I got the 10 hour trial on xbox just because I'm curious how much better the performance on the 1x will be compared to the demo.
Yeah, I dont watch a ton of tv, but over the last week I feel like I've been seeing them at least a couple times a day.
This whole early access thing is a downer. They rather give people full access to the game who buy into their premium subscription that's PC only, on a sub trial or who buy the sub and cancel before anyone who actually preordered the game. I don't count the 10 hour trial here because it's such a short amount of time.
If premium was available everywhere I would be a bit more understanding of the situation, but even then early releases just kill the hype. Is the OT going to be spoiler free for weeks, since people will be running end game by the time everyone else gets to play. This is a game that would really benefit from a community all starting together.

Yep, Wednesday 13th at 6pm UTC is when Preload begins, on PC anyway, I believe preloading may already be available on Xbox.
Extremely interested in what he was working on and I hope it is not just a "video".
It would be cool to have him wrote a quest, some Jav or enemy design for the game.
Huh?
You mean that there is preload for the EA Access trial on the 13th/14th, but that for people that want to preload the acutal game, it's next week?
I believe basic subs dont have preload. I cant remember anytime i could preload a game when i had only ea access.
Seems like a perfect fit really. Scars are very District 9-esque, then obviously Blomkamp has a thing for mechs / robotic enhancements in all his films. His world building and monster design is top tier so I'm looking forward to seeing what he's got cooking up.
So, if I haven't preorded yet, I can only download the game via EA Access on the 15th?
Have you preordered it aswell?
You only have ea access? Not pre ordered the game?
Everyone can preload game starting 13th as long they own game in some way.
Only ea-access, did not pre-order.
Ah they changed that then. With BFV it wasnt possible still.
You can preload games on Xbox 3 years before release date, Xbox doesn't count :b
I have Basic and the ability to pre-load I believe, it's showing me the pre-load time. However, I also have the game pre-ordered.
Going to try this one one my 10'hour EA Access trial but trying the demo last week, I didn't find it that fun. Also the no pvp thing for me is a turn off.
Can't wait to try it out though BUT I am so invested in APEX, Destiny, and soon to be Division 2, I won't have time for this game.

Hell no dude, Blomkamp is not a competent writer. Video is right up his alley
Tempted to get Premier for a month to try it out but I assume the embargo is for the plebien release? And that DF won't have a video up for a while? The DF part is the most important for me, if it runs better than the demo on PC.
Unfortunately, District 9 seems to have been a fluke.
Sounds like they're trying prepare people for a relatively shorter campaign than typical bioware rpgs. They mentioned mass effects critical path being 13-15 hours and say anthem is meant to be more of an introduction to the world rather than a complete story. I'd guess anthem will take 10 hours to beat the critical path
