Anthem Tops IGN’s Traffic per Game During E3 Week
- Thread starter anexanhume
- Start date
You clearly seem okay with Anthem being #1 here lmao. The mental gymnastics.
Yeah this just tells me what IGN's audiences likes. Social media and YouTube views/likes would be better way at judging things.
Yeah I mean I'm not sure how people don't get it. It's flying robots shooting guns with your friends
Agreed. Just the nature of what it is, co-op shoot and loot with a AAA budget, basically guarantees a sales success. Will probably be Bioware's best selling game ever. Hearing that the gameplay is legit excellent makes me more confident in its success.
I mean, it seems like the games up top are the ones you'd probably need to search out more info on? Like, they did that full thing on Anthem at EA and I still don't know wtf they're going for. Cyberpunk was just a trailer without any info. I bet people were desperately digging for more news on just how online focused Fallout 76 was. Even something like Jump Force just kind of dropped as a trailer without a ton to go on. If you're interested in those games, you're probably looking for more info, because they didn't present you with anything substantial.
Nintendo spent like 25 minutes on Smash in the Direct and lead off with it in the treehouse. Anyone who wanted to learn about it was probably going to tune in there. Same with TLoU2 and Spidey. What information did you need to look for in regards to those games following their showings? You know what you're getting. Probably the same as Call of Duty, there is no single player, you know what you're getting in multi. It not showing up here is meaningless. None of this will translate directly to sales and I don't even think it translates to a general interest either.

I mean, they get an obscene amount of monthly traffic, so presumably yes.
I can't explain Jump Force over Smash Bros. What did they do at IGN to get so much traffic for Jump Force or so little for Smash?
It was probably the whole Jump Force being a surprise while we all knew Smash was going to be there. It is also a testament to how iconic Naruto, Goku, and Luffy are rather than anything to do with the game. Goku is many people's childhood hero.
I don't understand what this post means.
IGN's own gameplay video of Anthem from E3 has less than 3 million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TrdCtCkghg
Anthem isn't in the first page of GameStop's best-sellers: https://www.gamestop.com/browse/xbox-one/games?nav=28-xu0,131e0-ffff2418
It's not even available on Amazon.
Hell, IGN's own list doesn't even list Anthem in the top upcoming 25 games: http://www.ign.com/upcoming/games , albeit I don't even know where it is in that list, because that portion of the website appears to be completely broken.
Did you look at this? Anthem's official E3 trailer is #20:
Last edited:
It's a sequel to a pretty hated game that came out four years ago (32/40 on Famitsu!)... Not sure it should have been that out of nowhere for people.
But many people in the general public are excited about it for some reason.
The reveal trailer was hype though and the potential to get Death Note and other popular anime fighters is there.
The original Jump Force wasn't exactly a good game so they can only go up from there.
I think they already confirmed today that light won't be a fighter character. Maybe support at best.
Here's hoping they change their mind.
This makes the IGN stats look really suspect.
Also, everyone loves Doom apparently.
The low number of likes on the DOOM video compared to videos with about the same number of views means it's been run as an ad highly inflating the view number. Same with the Fallout video.
Cyberpunk and The Last of Us 2 were far ahead of everything else before that.
For me personally Anthem might be a "Destiny killer" as the traversal looks incredible, the world looks to be an actual world rather than a lifeless sandbox and the mage like class is looking more unique than the warlock I currently play in Destiny.
Obviously I need more information before this happens, but I've already started conversations with my Destiny group about switching over to Anthem when it releases and everybody has been in agreement so far after seeing current footage/hearing Bioware is behind the game.

I'm still super skeptic about Anthem, still not enough information on how the game will work with loot for example.
For me it is simple really i keep my distance these days and see after it launches and that is with EA games of late, there trust has been shattered for me since ME Andromeda and BF1 and off course Battlefront II that broke it all.

Anthem actually had a lot of news content on top of being anticipated. This doesn't surprise me.
IGN *IS* video games and entertainment to a lot of people.
You think everyone frequents different youtube channels and websites regularly like us? No.
... why? I mean, I remember old Bioware with fondness, but the last decade has been rough stuff. Anthem looks ok but under no circumstances will I preorder it. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice (or five times)...
Your so right, after E3 I spent my time looking for more info on Jump Force and CP2077 compared to games like TLOU2 and spidey that had gameplay and information out there, so not surprised if other viewers did the same clicking articals that barly had any info when they showed trailers etc
Really, Anthem?
Since they said the game has no companions, my hype for the game dropped to 0. Surprised to see it up there.

I've been on the Anthem hype train since day one and I've been scouring the net for any news on it since last Saturday and I've read quite a few IGN articles myself which is a site I don't normally visit.
I know it's cool to hate on games like Anthem on Era but that doesn't matter, this game is going to be huge!

This list is also relevant to what IGN covers.
If every other article they run is about Anthem, then well - they'll get a lot of traffic regarding Anthem related coverage. Other than a demo write up and video, there wasn't much about RE2.
Or I'm out of touch for some reason another the kids really like Anthem. You know, get loot - make the numbers go up, rinse and repeat.
Nothing comes close to them in popularity, they're as mainstream as they can get. Besides there is nothing surprising about this list, literally nothing.
This.
I see the potential but I am not convinced yet. The lackluster e3 trailer didn't help.
I hope we see more raw gameplay footage during Gamescom.
I literally have no idea what the hell Jump Force is. Upon googling it looks like a new Shonen Jump game? I somehow missed the entire reveal despite watching Sony's and Microsoft's live and didn't even know anyone irl or on twitter who was talking about it.
Yeah very true I am not interested the slightest but if this means Bioware stays alive and can make dragon age 4 and hopefully return to mass effect I am all for it.
This surprises me.. it just looks very bland and without personality. But I only saw the conference gameplay demo. I did hear it plays really nicely though.
You could at least bump it up to The Sun, given how relatively widely read it is.
This is Wildlands 2.0 all over again.
And this year we have a strong combo: ERA hate on EA/BioWare + Always Online.

Tbh Anthem has always impressed people in every showing even here. The negative talk was because of EA and monetization and troubled development, but the actual game never lost its hype. This is not like Ghost Recon or Destiny 2.
You are basically Iron Man/War Machine. Given how insane popular Iron Man is right now, this will sell like bonkers.
Add Fallout 76 in there too.
I'm really surprised by this given general YouTube stats in the other thread, with Anthem in 20th place for trailer views.
Did IGN run more Anthem coverage, media, videos, articles etc? Perhaps some exclusive footage? Or is Anthem something people are searching and reading about more than they are watching the YT trailer for?

Yeah, same here. I'm mostly surprised by the disparity between this and the YT stats.
That and the apparent interest in Jump Force over Smash.
Just confirms to me Goku would've been a much better final character reveal for Smash Ultimate than Ridley. It's over. Smash is dead
It doesn't really mean anything though. Smash will outsell Jump Force's entire LTD within one month of release. Possibly even within one week. And that's with Jump Force even being a success
