The problem was it didn't look like this, Nor did it play like this, They added in a "Over heat" Bar on your thrusters which made prolonged flight aggravating. Nearly everything Cool in this video was missing or altered at launch.

Didn't the game had a restart of development after this demo? or I'm just crazy imagining things

This was during a time when games loved to... embellish, What the game would actually look like. from the E3 demo to the launch is was nearly 2 years. This was a vertical slice of game play. once they got the game on real hardware alot of it needed to be retooled or removed.

The same with the graphics in the division, the game looked stunning at the E3 reveal demo

The game wasn’t all bad. It had very good moments.

EA killed this game without giving it a chance to shine, the budget cuts for Bioware also had too much to do with the downfall

the lore was so good with this game. Just let Anthem be an example for the future of All Digital Only Games. After 2 or 3 generations you WILL NOT be able to play an games ever again on previous generations 15-20yrs from now.

And Sony it's trying to stay with the game as a service approach just to kill the games within two weeks

This was never released! It wasn't even real! Devs saw the demo when we did!

Its true! Hence the reason we only got a slice of what was shown!

So much potential. The foundation of the game was there and perfect I really wish they didn’t axe it. Just think of it could be today if they didn’t kill it

They had to give Bioware the chance to overhaul everything, I loved the the division 1 and this game had the opportunity to be a nice rival

If they took these systems and turned it into a single-player game, full story and companions and narrative... it would go crazy right now. Guaranteed.

This game had the potential to be what many envisioned Destiny 1 to be before its release. Was ahead of its time lowkey. They should take another shot at it now that the technology has caught up.

You know what’s crazy. They could give this code away to a group that would likely keep developing and try to make this game something. Say they made it open source but anything sold from it they take 30% or something. Better than just shelving it for nothing.

The game had Destiny 1 level population potential with an Iron Man 1 metal industrial robot vibe while also being a very hard game that was so fun to move around in. Such a sad loss in this time line.

They were close to getting us Antem 2.0 but EA's bitch asses canceled it

I remember they stole half the team from Bioware Austin to help finish this and Andromeda, starving SWTOR of its needed resources to keep up with other mmorps. Now its in maintenance mode and both these games are panned and dead. Well done.

This game had low content a single map you could easily explore within 1, 30 minute round. Athems mech, take was really good the engine cool downs were OK. At the end of the day it was just the same map you could cover in 30 mins. The game its self was pretty fun, no content.

I had all of my suits in Iron man variant colors.. It was really cool but seriously repetetive.. I was really sorry to see it get shut down.. I wish someone bought the framework and built other cool games from it like a good Ironman game..

A game made by fans and with developers that listens to feedback are destined to succeed

Id have skins and colors only earned through gameplay. So when people are in the hub they be like daaaamn where they get that!!!

@GameATNOST sadly you'll need to have some monetization to maintain the sustaining of the servers , anual contracts for publishing in sites and launchers. So the most human way would be Full free game, no P2W, but with some partial monetization on fashion. Having both free and paid skins

@GameATNOST 100% agree. I would have pay for skins. How ever the coolest of cool would be from game achievement. But paid cross over skins and such would be in the game.

It is such a shame because the universe and the gameplay were amazing! They simply didn't know what to do with it.

I'm still looking for a looter shooter other that the division and destiny, and this game had some great mechanics if it where used right

The moment this was posted I knew it was going to flop. It looked like trash then too.

One of the reasons why digital games are dangerous . Shuts down servers and we lose all this.

Lmao it was a custom demo for E3. This game never existed as you see it in this “gameplay” trailer..in a normal world this would have been called a scam and EA fined through the fucking roof..
