We've not seen or heard much regarding ANTHEM for a while, have we? BioWare has been beavering away at its shared world sci-fi action game, and it's finally ready to show it once again. IGN has released a video with brand new gameplay that goes through each of the four mech suits, or Javelins, and demonstrates their unique abilities and Ultimates.
It's clear that each Javelin emphasises a different style of play. Colossus is a powerful mech that looks to deal lots of explosive damage, Interceptor is more agile and focuses on speedy attacks, while Ranger and Storm both appear to take on more supportive roles with elemental projectiles. The action all looks fairly decent, and we must admit that flying around does look pretty fun.

The flying around does look amazing, I have to admit. Still not sold on Anthem but definitely interested.
If the actual suits have serious customisation then I maybe maybe interested but I hope for a demo before launch
Reminds me of the War Machine and the Hulkbuster.haha Would be cool if we could customise the Javelins visually.
@WanderingBullet You will be able to do this.
I'm certainly going all in on this one. Bioware have been really open during the development of this game and have regular "ask the dev" sessions where they clear up misconceptions and worries on being linked to big bad EA. I may be proven wrong, but I think this game is getting a lot more flak than it should do. EA have been shady in the past, but honestly, there is nothing that has been shown/discussed that should make the alarm bells ring.
Definitely interested in this, the more I see of it the more I’m thinking it’ll be a day one buy but still need to see and read a bit more about it.
I’d be surprised if they didn’t add micro transactions to customise your own Javelin.
I remember thinking that the combat for Andromeda didn't look all that but it was really fun and satisfying when I actually played it. The thing that stood out for me most in this video was the music. It reminds of the brilliant epic music when fighting dragons in DA Inquisition.
Certainly on my wanted list! has been for months. The Interceptor blade attacks do remind me a lot of the new void Hunter in Destiny 2: Forsaken though - not a bad thing as this does have more mobility, more verticality and more 'organic' looking worlds.
@MaccaMUFC cosmetic MTs have been confirmed. Nothing that impacts gameplay will be sold and all main story DLC will be free for all.
Looking good. Warframe + Destiny with a splash of Iron Man.
@Shellcore I'm interested in Anthem but I'll wait closer to release date before deciding. Hopefully they'll release a demo.
