Anthem did that all by itself
BFV is BFV. The gamemodes and gameplay outside of BR you cant find really anywhere else nowadays. BF BR will also be unique and will find its audience outside the normal modes.If anything it will finally kill BFV. Shame, because BFV is fantastic.
Well, that's true, but don't you think the playerbase will be too fragmentated between three games from the same company?BFV is BFV. The gamemodes and gameplay outside of BR you cant find really anywhere else nowadays. BF BR will also be unique and will find its audience outside the normal modes.
I can tell you guys that for many of us there is an absolute overlap. I play games in all disciplines so all games compete for my time. If you release a killer game that I like I might play that for a month and wait til later to play your other offerings.

coulda got one of the characters free with EA access. I just bought EA access for the Anthem trial....and it gave me a buncha gold coins in ApexI kind of think it has for me. I was planning on getting EA access or buying Anthem as my new Feb game day 1. Apex came out and that's all I'm playing right now. Purchased some coins so I could unlock the other two characters (Mirage and Caustic). Going to now hold off on Anthem for a bit.
Yet Shinobi said in this thread "Positive user engagement across social media for Anthem is very high from everywhere I've looked from Twitter to Facebook to YouTube... "Yes.
I think Apex has totally stolen whatever hype Anthem had and is also going to eat it's lunch.

Honestly, if you are even a little interested in the game and you are letting this stop you from trying it, don't. There's no progression system that affects gameplay. The game is very simple in terms of guns to choose from and the attachment system basically plays itself since everything auto-equips if its applicable. I started on Saturday and I after the initial "I have no idea what I'm doing phase" that I go through with all new multiplayer games, I don't feel behind at all. It only took 10 or so games to get acclimated.No.
Anthem is for everyone interested in the game at their own pace.
Apex is for, and I apologize for the blanket statement and I will try to be diplomatic with this: Younger gamers and full time streamers. It's been a week, those of us with jobs, families, kids etc already missed the boat, I enjoyed it last week but know that if I hop on now I'm not going to have a great time. You need to be a full time gamer to really enjoy the full benefits of F2P otherwise the ship sails away and your skill set is too newb to even learn.
Apex has certainly sucked a lot of the air out of the room. It'll be harder for Anthem to generate buzz with Apex commanding so much attention. Whether they're in the same genre or not doesn't matter, they're competing for mindshare from the same group of people.
I should add that by "kill" I mean hurt it's sales. The poll so far says that may very well happen. I don't want Anthem to fail. Judging by the demo however EA must not feel the same way.
Yeah I can tell. People who likes Apex doesn't have to like Anthem and vice versa too. Anthem really got potential but it might not be appealing to a lot and I understand that tbhTotally understand. The poll though... I think there may be more impact than you think
When do we get the thread on if Anthem will kill the next Sims 4 expansion?
.Not even the same genre... doubt it will have much impact on Anthem one way or the other.
It's perplexing that some folks see no correlation. I'll take an educated point or hypothesis either way, but to outright dismiss it is strange to me.
