FIRST LOOK ANTHEM: THE LOWDOWN ON BIOWARE'S DATE WITH DESTINY
In an industry that still sometimes seems far too pleased with itself when it releases a flashy CG trailer, it’s refreshing to see a major publisher and developer show real, in-game action to get us hyped for a game. It could be argued, of course, that BioWare was in no position to do much else for a couple of important reasons. First, Anthem is sounding too much like a mash-up of Destiny and The Division, and it needed to show its true colours in order to get any distance from those releases. Second, after the reception Andromeda got, BioWare doesn’t want to see its collective reputation slip any further or see its new game mired in recrimination about its last. So here we have Anthem, a third-person co-op shooter in an open sandbox setting that looks absolutely stunning.
