Coming back to this, I feel like it's criminal that all they shot was reduced to under 4 minutes and even more criminal that the dev/publisher didn't have anywhere near the amount of passion as the crew did that put this all together. So annoying that they just abandoned the game after promising to polish and re-work it to a more satisfying state, as this all had tons of potential..
Ive played almost every loot shooter and the iron man vibes to anthem is still unmatched imo. Warframe for example had a bad start too and look where it is now just because people kept playing it. And just like in Destiny, you cant fly in Warframe so thats an easy win for Anthem. A huge amound of people still watching youtuber coming back to this masterpiece in 2022. I remember other devs coppin abilitys from this game to keep their players hooked after you guys released it and that says a lot about Anthem! Fr they just need to throw in first person view on expos with more focus on weapons and environment like destiny. (maybe VR in future) Reduce overheating on all javelins and reload time on all guns and no reload cancel on all actions. More weapon types, more abilitys plus bigger weekly offer in shop slowly start from there with DLCs and Im sure the game could become on of the best loot shooter out there. After almost 10k hours on loot shooter im 100% sure this game is the game. I really hope someone will wake them guys up and make em see the potential.

The team cited Covid being one of the major factors for development stopping, as well as the future of Dragon Age and Mass Effect titles beginning production. They didnt have the resources available to focus on making Anthem as success. So there you go! Bioware is currently building the next Dragon Age game entitled Dreadwolf [4], as well as the next Mass Effect game (name unknown right now) [5]. In the last couple days Bioware announced they are laying off roughly 50 developers in an effort to make a shift towards a more "agile and focused" studio, claiming that this studio change is "not only necessary, but unavoidable" [6]... People are hoping that this isnt a continuation of the downfall of a once beloved studio, but some of those let go were veteran writers and producers with a long history at Bioware.... so it is at least a little troubling. I hope that covers anything. Links to related videos and blog posts below.

@@MagikFingers420 the game flopped, EA (which is greed itself) promised to polish it and make it better but never did Even tho the game is great you should try it
@@ONIrepresentative Sadly the story is worse than that, after the initial bad launch, bioware were working on a massive update to make the game great and fix all the criticisms they had gotten, but after about a year or so EA pulled all funding from the project and left anthem to be forgotten. I personally thought anthem has soooo much potential, it looked great, the gameplay was solid and the gameplay loop hit a scratch only destiny had hit prior. but the games flaws dragged it down and it never got the redemption it deserved. I wish it could've done what cyberpunk did but now we will never know.
I don't think a successful sequel can be made. Especially as the open ending is an allegory to the SA problem. There is no answer. A sequel would water down the messages in D9.
It's not up to him. He has to get funding for it as well as the studio's permission and directorial freedom without corporate BS being injected into the movie.
@@ricksanchez4988 I was considering buying it for $20 because the gameplay looked cool, but has the game really not been updated yet? Mediocre server issues, lack of interesting loot and cosmetics, terrible AI, lackluster endgame? Guess I should go for the Division 2.
His only good film is District 9. All the others are progressively worse and - more importantly - less profitable, flops, even. He has to win back the trust of studios before they give him another big budget movie.
The stage direction for this must've been hilarious. Actress: "So why am I screaming at the camera with my face half-painted in blue?" Blomkamp: "I don't fucking know, Susan! This is a 3 minute long commercial for a game, we're not going for narrative consistency here!"
@@sebastianrodriguez-delgado5525 Yeah, they've only revolutionized how we watch television, almost single handily shut Blockbuster out of business, pose serious competition to HBO and other decades old cable channels, and give more artistic freedom than any other production company. Totally subpar.
If EA and Bioware put as much effort into a game as Neill Blomkamp puts into his animations then that would be a game to behold. Neill Blomkamp is a highly underrated creative individual.
This needs to be a movie, I know everyone hates on Ea because....well, it's EA but my god, if they founded this into a real movie I think we would have one hell of a ride on our hands.
EA hate is well founded. They hv money and time to make this kind of useless PR bullshit...but not hv time to fix bugs and not give people polished experience at launch!!
@Nub S7atus .....uum can we stop here please? The last thing i want is for my comment to start up some sort of fight between people, so lets just drop it here and enjoy the content provided alright?
don't give EA credit this is produced by OATS STUDIO they have mini series that go off the rails I'm a fan and you should be to again that's OATS STUDIO
heres a favorite of mine you should also watch Adam it's made with the unity engine and they left it there then oats picked it up ua-cam.com/video/VjQ2t_yNHQs/v-deo.html
Oats definitely need to make a deal with a studio/streaming service and make a TV show, movies don't get nearly as much story in them as a full season of a show
was not a short. a short is about 20 minutes long. this was a pricey live action trailer for the game if anything. hoping it is turned into a short in the future if not something more.
Just came across this after rewatching the Halo Landfall trailer. Neil should be the guy they get to make all live action game adaptations. The man knows what to cook.
@@PureBrawler He does great trailers and small stories. His feature length films tend to be hit or miss. I liked the idea of Chappie, didn't like the movie.
Trailer>Actual Game No seriously I have never seen a game trailer that good before there better be a movie. Edit: I can now confirm this comment after game release, way to go EA, getting my hopes up for nothing.
I did like floating around as a sovereign lightning king. Shame the loot system screwed you out of the powers you liked and forced you to use RNG skills because they were 0.005% better item level or whatever, so you ended up using the useless garbage powers you hated for most of the game.
@@godiebeard something like this would lend itself better to a series. Movies I think anyways are too short to really build a Narrative for something along these kinds of stories, things get cut or just skipped over for the sake of runtime. Or even a mini series would be cool.
@@codynelson61 Yeah, that's part of the problem with video game movies in general, they just don't have the time to tell the same story as the game they're imitating. A series is a much better option.
@@hermitcard4494 Well, no. BioWare employees said on Twitter that Conviction took place thirty years before the events of the game Anthem. So no; Playing the game is the incorrect response.
Neill Blomkamp, while there are performance issues with actors, and story issues with the writing, hands-down he produces the most original interesting and convincing CGI for his machine/monster/hybrid imagery of anyone in the world right now. So unique, so original, and so strangely believable that it's unbelievable. Wish my early dream of directing movies had come to fruition just so I could collaborate with him on stuff like that:) Lol
@@KcRoss_29 That's not a pointless detail. It says 'An Anthem Story by Neill Blomkamp". This isnt a story though. This is a trailer to a movie or the back cover to a book.
Considering neil himself thought this would make a cool short movie. Has nothing to do with the game devs except dor the fact they gave him approval. So yeah people try to read too much into shit.
It’s not a trailer that’s why, it’s created by Oats Studio, producer of: Elysiam, Chappie and District 9. He chose to make this “experimental film”. This live-action short invites viewers to experience Blomkamp’s unique style of creating photorealistic visual effects and bringing them seamlessly into the real world.
Collect scalps to open the tombs! Because for some reason ancient dead dudes want to prevent you from getting the tools from stopping the big bad guy until you can prove to their ghost that you're not just capable of murder but also mass genocide towards several groups of people who are completely unrelated to the outlaw insurgency.
This is absolutely phenomenal! Still iffy on purchasing Anthem, but I can appreciate good work when I see it. This looks like it came from a Hollywood studio!
I was so pessimistic about Anthem when it was announced but I'm going to give it a shot. EA seems to have left out the lootbox bullshit on this game and gone straight to just selling skins for a flat price, which I'm totally fine with. I might buy one, or not spend any money on it, but I'll have the choice not to. If they can turn their act around, I'll happily support them. I love Bioware for Mass Effect alone. It's only $60
blomkamp is the next thing he doesnt need hollywood plus wtf is hollywood these days anyway have you seen the Blue Smith ass genie crap and latest crappy CG movies
flvxx so everything that’s pretty came from Hollywood uh? Poor u Chinese/Japanese n African make movies like this Incase you don’t know. If a movie/film/game etc doesn’t make Hollywood doesn’t mean it isn’t good
Somehow I missed this trailer, I unfortunately own anthem but it comforts me that someone actually did their job like pure beasts, well done Oats ! This is legendary
Oats Studio Uploaded.... We are fkn blessed... though whteve gaming rick roll it may be... Still fingers crossed for Reptilian Aliens & that River God project to turn into full season/movie..
"It's sad that a 3 minute trailer from Neill Blomkamp put together has just more character and emotions than in the entire game that it's based on. That's when you know something went wrong along the way." (Angry Joe, Anthem Angry Review)
Imagine a TV show made by these guys !! I've just found out about this trailer, DAMN it looks badass !! EA NEEDS to give these guys the rights to work on this, you guys simply nailed it !
*looks to comments to see if this was meant to be a trailer or a short story* *leaves comments understanding everyone else is just as confused as I am*
@@VRtechman lmao no I'm not. I guess it's too much for microsoft to give a talented director a go at making a great video game movie. I know they worked on it for like 9 months I think before getting the axe. I'd love to see what all they got put together before it got cut.
2:40 What most people don't realize is that this is actually a metaphor for the relationship between EA and Bioware...3 guesses which Javelin represents who. :P
I'm guessing the Ranger was the player base, the Storm is Bioware, and the Monitor is none other than all unholy, loot box pounding, content draining EA?
This deserves to be an amazing movie. More like a the next great 6 segment film. I was hooked on every second and let down so hard when it was a game and not a film in the end. Amazing work, bravo! 👏
I want Oats Studios to know they made an amazing trailer and deserve huge recognition for it I want everyone else to know this game was shit and that EA and Bioware deserve huge recognition for it

@@efrainflores3902 the people that hate it are the ones lacking respect, if you hate it just move on instead of shoving hate towards the game. The games suffered enough, like it's not obvious.
@@kaledoodoo1733 I might, theoretically, care about hypothetical dyslexia or second language struggles under certain circumstances. An angry BioDrone rage typing personal insults and using down syndrome as a cheap put down doesn't get that sympathy, and neither does a bait and switch scam of a videogame.
They talked about looking into making it a bigger scale movie / short film if the clip is well received. But it is based on the video game and therefore works as a promo for the game at the same time. Since full release is next week and early access started today.
This may never reach Neill Blomkamp... If it it does... Let him know.... that I need more of this in my life...END TRANSMISSION...javelin crashes into a Titan
The game feels soulless, uninspired and has many issues, and I can't really get into it. The story is meh, most of the characters too... But this is the proof how amazing Anthem could be! I rewatched this multiple times! So good!
Yeah such a shame. He was going to do something with Alien but not totally sure what happened there. He did post some concept art he made online a few years ago. He is making a Robocop film tho
kiffer85 he actually tweeted a few days ago he’s working on a horror. Just days after Cameron said he was trying to get him back on the project. Idk if it’s Alien but fingers crossed
There’s no way there used all those resources just to make a three minute video game trailer. This will either be the cutscenes in the game or they are making an actual movie
Ryan Gg the first script he wrote for this was 20 minutes long but due to budget constraints he had to condense it down. So he definitely has more he could work with if he gets a green light to make a longer video for this.
@@xingx355 no it isn't. It's a trailer for a short story decades before the game. He's said that depending on community feedback, they will make a full movie. Oats studios motto is basically "if the fans want it,we will build it"
@@Kyran696 why would they? Then it would be the second game in a month that is consumer friendly and giving the customers what they want. They could really work at turning their image around if they want to
@@ra7en114 It is not a consumer friendly game, ffs you don't even know how much content there is in the game. Wait and finish the game first before spreading bullshit.
So... it's a trailer? For conviction? Or do trailers get names now? Don't get me wrong, it was super awesome, I was just a little confused as it says it's a story...
@@orlandoalejandro8940 If it's the same director, screenwriting, cinematography and anything like this teaser on to Netflix in maybe a special release 16 episode season..... Why not?
Why the fuck couldn’t this be a movie I’d rather have watched a movie of this than played the game. It’s so disappointing, and yet unsurprising that Anthem turned out the way it did. I wasn’t a fan before, but by canceling the 2.0 update, it completely voided any chance I would have given to try this again. I can only imagine how disappointing it is for any of those currently playing. This universe had so much potential to be expanded upon - just look at what they were able to produce in this trailer before the game’s release. In canceling their plans to release Anthem 2.0, the game’s fate has been sealed. They plan to keep the servers running for sometime, but with no new content being produced I can only imagine how long people will stay. Just sucks for everyone. So much talent. Fuck EA.

Anthem was a game released by Bioware, and was their first attempt at launching a new IP in many years. There was a ton of buzz about the first real new IP from the team that created Dragon Age and Mass Effect (among other massively successful games), and this being a "live service" game it meant that we would get a game on the level of Dragon Age or Mass Effect... but we get ongoing support and new content. The trailers all had really impressive visuals, and promised an in depth story in an interesting world, and the E3 showcase showed players essentially taking the role of different classes and variations of Ironman to kill massive monsters. It was shaping up to be an exciting launch.
When the game launched, players were extremely disappointed by the state of the game in general. People generally agreed that the game felt great, flying was amazing, the abilities of the different classes were fun, and the general look of the game was well executed. The issue was that there wasnt much to do in the game because missions were short and repetitive, character and world building felt rushed or not existent, and the primary weapons you got throughout the game lacked in variety and punch. The game bugs ranged from annoying to game breaking, there were regular server disconnects, and you would regularly lose progress after game crashes.

They didnt have the resources available to focus on making Anthem as success.
So there you go! Bioware is currently building the next Dragon Age game entitled Dreadwolf [4], as well as the next Mass Effect game (name unknown right now) [5]. In the last couple days Bioware announced they are laying off roughly 50 developers in an effort to make a shift towards a more "agile and focused" studio, claiming that this studio change is "not only necessary, but unavoidable" [6]... People are hoping that this isnt a continuation of the downfall of a once beloved studio, but some of those let go were veteran writers and producers with a long history at Bioware.... so it is at least a little troubling.
I hope that covers anything. Links to related videos and blog posts below. Enjoy :)

@@MagikFingers420 the game flopped, EA (which is greed itself) promised to polish it and make it better but never did
Even tho the game is great you should try it
@@ONIrepresentative Sadly the story is worse than that, after the initial bad launch, bioware were working on a massive update to make the game great and fix all the criticisms they had gotten, but after about a year or so EA pulled all funding from the project and left anthem to be forgotten.
I personally thought anthem has soooo much potential, it looked great, the gameplay was solid and the gameplay loop hit a scratch only destiny had hit prior. but the games flaws dragged it down and it never got the redemption it deserved. I wish it could've done what cyberpunk did but now we will never know.
Niel Blomkamp, you done it again...
Still waiting for the District 9 sequel
Probably will never get it tbh
I don't think a successful sequel can be made. Especially as the open ending is an allegory to the SA problem. There is no answer. A sequel would water down the messages in D9.
yes, still waiting...
@@thefreedomguyuk Well said, I would love to see a follow up, but short of changing the whole premise, I agree it would dilute the first film.
It's not up to him. He has to get funding for it as well as the studio's permission and directorial freedom without corporate BS being injected into the movie.
uhh...Id go to theatre and pay money to see a full movie in a heart beat. That looked badass.

@@ricksanchez4988 I was considering buying it for $20 because the gameplay looked cool, but has the game really not been updated yet? Mediocre server issues, lack of interesting loot and cosmetics, terrible AI, lackluster endgame? Guess I should go for the Division 2.

Oats definitely need to make a deal with a studio/streaming service and make a TV show, movies don't get nearly as much story in them as a full season of a show
was not a short. a short is about 20 minutes long. this was a pricey live action trailer for the game if anything. hoping it is turned into a short in the future if not something more.
Make this a Netflix series. Multiple seasons. ID pay for it
EDIT: Any streaming service that will do these guys and this justice. :D

no Star wars old republic had even better trailers.... edit :Elderscrolls online has pretty good trailers too!
K.I.A T. Triggered 10 year old fanboy alert. Lmao
this game had sooooo much potential. really suck that EA is EA
I've just downloaded it for the ps5 after playing it years ago for xbox . It's just pure fun that you can waste hours on
I did like floating around as a sovereign lightning king. Shame the loot system screwed you out of the powers you liked and forced you to use RNG skills because they were 0.005% better item level or whatever, so you ended up using the useless garbage powers you hated for most of the game.
And BioWare is BioWare
Come on Mr. Blomkamp, you can't just stop at this awesome short. Where are the trilogy of films?

Neill Blomkamp, while there are performance issues with actors, and story issues with the writing, hands-down he produces the most original interesting and convincing CGI for his machine/monster/hybrid imagery of anyone in the world right now. So unique, so original, and so strangely believable that it's unbelievable. Wish my early dream of directing movies had come to fruition just so I could collaborate with him on stuff like that:) Lol

Considering neil himself thought this would make a cool short movie. Has nothing to do with the game devs except dor the fact they gave him approval. So yeah people try to read too much into shit.
It’s not a trailer that’s why, it’s created by Oats Studio, producer of: Elysiam, Chappie and District 9. He chose to make this “experimental film”. This live-action short invites viewers to experience Blomkamp’s unique style of creating photorealistic visual effects and bringing them seamlessly into the real world.
3 minute video with more story then a 4 1/2 hour game XD
Collect scalps to open the tombs!

This is absolutely phenomenal! Still iffy on purchasing Anthem, but I can appreciate good work when I see it. This looks like it came from a Hollywood studio!
I was so pessimistic about Anthem when it was announced but I'm going to give it a shot. EA seems to have left out the lootbox bullshit on this game and gone straight to just selling skins for a flat price, which I'm totally fine with. I might buy one, or not spend any money on it, but I'll have the choice not to. If they can turn their act around, I'll happily support them. I love Bioware for Mass Effect alone. It's only $60
You don't have to buy it at all to play it. Give it a shot with the Origin Premium Pass. It's just 15 bucks a month.
This is just my opinion, but after playing it a bit I think it's a solid game. Lots of fun
blomkamp is the next thing he doesnt need hollywood
plus wtf is hollywood these days anyway have you seen the Blue Smith ass genie crap and latest crappy CG movies

Neill you absolute legend. South Africa represent! This will hopefully turn into something longer than 120 minutes...
There’s no way there used all those resources just to make a three minute video game trailer. This will either be the cutscenes in the game or they are making an actual movie
Ryan Gg the first script he wrote for this was 20 minutes long but due to budget constraints he had to condense it down. So he definitely has more he could work with if he gets a green light to make a longer video for this.

@@SugaryCow what does it say in the description
Netflix and anthem need to stop playing around and make a movie or mini series already...🔥 called origin of anthem as a prequel
Like during the Legion of Dawn era and we get to see how humanity was freed, I'd watch the fuck out of that
Yep. Totally agree with both of you.
Nah... they should call it Anthem: Conviction... That's it...
Netflix? Are you serious? 1 of 20 series out of that company have a good storytelling and you dare to think they are gonna make this one right?

If it's the same director, screenwriting, cinematography and anything like this teaser on to Netflix in maybe a special release 16 episode season..... Why not?
Why the fuck couldn’t this be a movie
I’d rather have watched a movie of this than played the game. It’s so disappointing, and yet unsurprising that Anthem turned out the way it did. I wasn’t a fan before, but by canceling the 2.0 update, it completely voided any chance I would have given to try this again. I can only imagine how disappointing it is for any of those currently playing.
This universe had so much potential to be expanded upon - just look at what they were able to produce in this trailer before the game’s release. In canceling their plans to release Anthem 2.0, the game’s fate has been sealed. They plan to keep the servers running for sometime, but with no new content being produced I can only imagine how long people will stay.
Just sucks for everyone. So much talent. Fuck EA.
