Does Apex kill Anthem?
- Thread starter GUNDAM STARDUST
- Start date
I think Apex has little influence on Anthem.
One is a FPS competitive Battle Royale. The other is PVE 3rd person shooter/looter.
I was personally put off by Anthem after the technical test. Really dissappointed.

If you enjoyed looter shooters and progression games, you would find time to put down Apex. Maybe you just don't enjoy looter shooters as much as you think you do.
They're two different games though?
The real question I think is what impact it'll have on Battlefield's BR mode.

That is true, it may not be enough I am not 100% convinced it may hurt titsome. I think Anthem will do fine but not great, based off the quality of the demo. We will see.

None of the choices directly suggest one's interest in Anthem was affected by Apex. The question itself did, but the options don't really reflect that.
Although really don't care about Anthem, I don't see how Apex would kill it. If Anthem fails it will be because of its own faults, not because of Apex.
Horrible comparison. CoD cost the same amount as those other games, which means they were competing for your dollar. Not only are these two games not even remotely similar, but you can buy Anthem and play Apex for free. They don't compete from either a gameplay or financial perspective.
Zero impact.
Your poll hinges on the basis that apex is having some affect on anthem, how many of the people saying that they aren't getting anthem now were actually considering it in the first place?
Apex is.more satisfying. Anthem plays, looks and feels boring from the demo. I really hope thats not the case but I have origin premier so it don't really matter
I do not think Apex will kill it. Those who were already interested in Anthem were going to get it and those on the fence I feel Apex will not make their decision lean either way.
To the people saying they are different games, genres, etc... when it comes to big AAA titles it comes down to time, unless you have a lot of cash to throw at games at a time and can clone yourself to play multiple games it all comes down to time and which game earns your time and therefore money.
Apex could definitely affect sales for Anthem, or at least postpone them for a while until the hype and word of mouth settles on Apex.

Anthem killed my hype for Anthem just fine on its own. I may pick it up later after some updates.
Apex is awesome and a really different thing, but it is what I'm currently playing.

The truth couldn't be more obvious. I don't even know why this is a thread.
Apex is not even on my radar. I love Respawn, but battle royale is not something that really appeals to me.
Lets see it first. BF BR will be alot different also then Apex. It will not be as huge as Apex and Fortnite because its not free and its a gamemode and not a full game.
But last week nobody though Apex was gonna rival Fortnite. But here we are. There is always room and a audience.
You're polling a forum that nearly every year has a not-small amount of users saying that CoD is dead and BR is just a passing fad. There's a pretty big bubble effect around here. The simple fact that so many people will be getting blitzed with ads for Anthem via the launcher while loading Apex will get a lot of folks to try it out. Then you add in people who were already interested in Anthem, who were likely not super interested in PvP, or at least didn't see it as necessary since Anthem doesn't have it.
Both games are gonna be fine. Both are gonna sell tons (Well, Apex will sell loot boxes/skins, Anthem copies of the game/cosmetics).
One is a PvP first person Battle Royale game. The other is a PvE third person RPG game. This is a pretty silly question, as they're two completely separate games aimed at completely separate audiences.
You don't have to play a game the moment it comes out or the moment its "hot," you can always come back and play it later. There's always time. I enjoy both and I plan to play both - one with friends against other people, one with friends against raid bosses n shit.
No, he's saying there's no option for not caring about Apex (as in, having never played it). The second option is for not liking Apex.
There is going to be a substantial portion of players interested in Anthem that will never play Apex, is his point I take it.
Apex hurts Anthem in the same way that any game can hurt any other game. But they aren't in the same genre and aren't part of the same perspective.
Yeah I worded that poorly. My sentiment was that I was never interested in it to begin with. I think the way that option is worded implies one has tried it first and didn't like it. I think they are two totally different beasts and it's naive to assume that just due to popularity of BR games (and that it's free) that everyone has at least tried it.
Like many things on this forum, this feels like something only video game enthusiasts care about.
Different gameplay models, aesthetics and monetisation. About the only similarities they have is that both have guns and are published by EA.

I feel like this poll would be far more efficient if it was just two options. Take out "How" and just make it Yes/No lol
I'm certain the negative recepton to Anthem and the sudden release of Apex was not a coincidence.
Destiny killed Anthem by getting there first and showing that shared world games don't do it for everyone.
Too bad you didn't learn that, not only is Anthem not a FPS, it's not a shooter.
