There's literally a new NoClip documentary video in my suggested feed on the right with Todd in the thumbnail, if you don't see it there you go: ua-cam.com/video/QKn9yiLVlMM/v-deo.html
"Was the demo you showed at E3 all smoke and mirrors?" "Yes." "Was the production of this game a mess?" "Absolutely." "Do you plan on sticking to your promises?" "Hell no."
FlezzDurjis Well the good games they have made still out weigh the bad. I was very sad when E.A. bought them out. They have been on a steady decline since then. E.A. will probably close them down if this doesn't sell well. So I mite not have to walk away from one of my favorite gaming studios of all time after all. If this game bombs they will be shut down by E.A. anyways.
SnakeDoctorSilver because the team that worked on Andromeda wasn't his and it's unprofessional and extremely rude to say that the team working on Andromeda sucked in public. Plus Breath of the wild was awesome.
Guy Walker To counter that, ME: Andromeda had a bigger market to cater to since it was sold on Xbox, Playstation, and PC that had hundreds of millions of customers. Zelda was only a Wii U and Switch exclusive, which had way less customers.
OriginaltheCreator I'd agree with that, but to be fair, the highest total sales for a Mass Effect game was about 6m units for ME3, which was considered extremely successful at the time (even with the ending debacle). I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Breath of the Wild shifted 10m units. So maybe Zelda does just have more appeal than Mass Effect as a series? They also both released around the same time as Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier: Automata which both were very well acclaimed. So I don't think it's out there to suggest MEA's release window had an impact on sales, given the strength of the competition. Either way, not debating MEA had its issues, I just wanted to point out it's really not Mark Darrah's place to be addressing them.
You could just say u learned from mistakes and are looking to not repeat them, but i don't think any lessons were learned this game doesn't look too exciting
"Are you guys looking to overhaul this game in a years time?" "Uh....i would hope not" Isnt that what their doing? Can i get a F in chat PLEASE damn this video aged terribly.
That's only a rumor. But I honestly hope that it's true. Final Fantasy XIV was in the same exact spot as Anthem when it first dropped. Now, FFXIV is arguably the best MMORPG on the market. I hope Anthem pulls through. Despite it's flaws, I still really enjoy playing Anthem.
i hope Anthem succeed man i dont want Bioware to go under for EA decisions I love Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Ago Inquisition and i hope you guys Bioware be rewarded for your hard work

EA only wanted loot crates for pvp with Andromeda. The loyal consumers on the other hand wanted a more traditional experience with mass effects legacy.
One thing I have learned in development, is that failure is almost never the developers' fault. That usually is caused by either poor QA, poor management or poor design. None of which are developers' responsibilities.
Dude it’s not the developers fault, I’m sure they poured there hearts into this. The problem was that EA was more focused on Multiplayer games ( they thought no one wanted single player stories anymore ) and since Mass Effect Andromeda is majorly a single player game they’re budget was cut short and I think they only got $40 million to work on the game with when naturally a great TripleA title would need like $250 million.
totalishnc did it ever occur to you that they could’ve made alien like environments that don’t end up being a dessert or arctic tundra. Maybe they have very alien like location floating lands or some shit.

@@MrBas-cu7dt right. So ignore the past good games games and focus on the most recent one like everyone else just jumping on the bandwagon. It's a different style of game and in this generation everything is bad in everyone's opinion. Plus has no one learned anything from guys like skill up? Don't judge things from those before them. Judge on what the thing itself is. Judging something because it isn't like something else or IS like something else is damn right pathetic. Now this game may not be amazing. But just because of Andromeda this game will not be bad. Regardless of opinions.

Bioware & EA already did screw Anthem up... Anthem is always online scam & spy platform services infested with MTX cancer that will kill the game. But don't you worry there will be Anthem 2, 3, 4.
idonotmakevidsyet doesn't seem like itd be that hard to implement. Ruins the immersion when you're on another planet full of monsters when you go underwater and there's nothing hostile to keep an eye out for. Just saying it could of been a unique feature for anthem and even made some interesting missions and possible bosses.
idonotmakevidsyet that doesn’t even make sense. “The underwater fights in games suck so let’s get rid of that”. I’ve never really found a game where the underwater segments are relatively interesting so why make it more boring by not having anything there. Video game developers should be trying to actually improve the underwater gameplay for those with underwater parts not just ignoring them
Nobody seems to be aware of this but there are multiple BioWare studios in Canada and the US, and BioWare Montreal was responsible for Andromeda. While I can’t remember the location of this studio exactly, this is most definitely not Montreal, and therefore it’s not really his law to criticize the games development, or say anything other than what he said here actually. This guy had no hand in that game, so he’s not responsible for it’s failures.
Jayboy Montreal was in Québec Canada. But still a shitty studio though. You’re right, Andromeda’s failure was on them, not EA, not Bioware Edmonton, Texas etc. I watched a little mini Documentary on Andromeda and Montreal and that team was extremely divided and on top of that, they were very Inexperienced. If they were Experienced and united on the project, it would have been an entirely different game.
florida might even be a day or two after launch, I want to know what went into the game, what a bunch of reviewers thought and if there are any major bugs /shitty EA practices that have squeezed their way in
malkavian2 i feel you a lot of people are against pre ordering but it doesn’t really make sense if you’re gonna get then why not get it early if but you’re not sure about a game then yeah don’t pre order
florida because I want to wait and see if EA tries to introduce any of there shitty practices into the game If I hear they are introducing preorder bonuses,missions or equipment then I simply won’t buy the game Plus there have been too many times when what they have shown early on is very different to what we get on completion (colonial marines and watch dogs spring to mind) Il sit back and wait quite contently and if I like what they release I will shell out the money but trust is something that the games industry lost from me a long time ago
One is a single player open world game the other is always online live service multiplayer game. I don't think they necessarily appeal to the same audience so it is fine.
Luis Caldeira You realize that Sony probably knew the release date of Anthem long before us, before revealing Days Gone release date yesterday right? For example Anthem pre order page with descriptions and screenshots was already up on psstore the moment the game was revealed. I am 99.99% sure that they didn't create that page in 10 seconds.
Ok this is waaaaay better and informative than the cringe we just saw at E3, learn from Sony! bombard us with trailers and gameplay footage, and only speak if you have something meaningful to say, in a natural, humble tone, we're not in the 90s! ps at E3 never ... ever bring in mobile games, I doubt casual mobile "gamers" know what even E3 is.
Your statement would've been true if after the flute solo they splashed the game title and that was it, but the intention was to set the mood, and what followed was a kickass gameplay footage. what's really weird is your statement considering that pretty much all Sony's trailers included huge chunks of actual gameplay, something E3 2018 lacked heavily when it comes to big AAA titles.
5:14 "Are you guys looking forward to overhauling all the game's systems in like a year and a half?" "I would hope not" AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH *cough* AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!
Josh Bennett IMHO PVP is like a drug. When a company like EA is allowed to control a PVP game economy, they will abuse it to make money. They have very little track record of being responsible, and millions of gamers have fallen into the life sucking grinds they create and use to feed and teach addiction to younger audiences. The only way to succeed and gain a more positive position in the world of gaming is to avoid it all together and make better quality games with better narrative, like the Bioware of old. In the end, that is what people remember and value. Sure you could waste your life grinding through PVP, paying for expansions and accessories and end up spending your own or someone else’s hard earned money, but a good story and game world will leave you feeling far more satisfied with your life. Like comparing masterbation to a true relationship. No contest for me. I’m never going back to the PvP rat race. Not when I know games like SWTOR exist and continue to to be made of people just said NO to this abuse.
Pvp is what kills 90% of these types of games. Destiny would be better with less focus on pvp. Same with the division. It’s all trash and serves no purpose in an mmo type game.
Not only are they Cosmetic only, but it won’t be Randomized via Loot Box. A Player will always know what they’re going to get when they drop money. It’s why I hate Destiny, I hate the Microtransactions they have. Warframe is the best model for how Microtransactions should be. Cosmetic Only and knowing what you’re going to get.
When I first say anthem I thought that I was going to have to pick on javelin and then stick worth it but now after hearing that you can switch freely, in hella pumped!
@@charizard6969 black ops said there would be no micro transactions on launch..that lasted for two weeks. Just look at EA sport games..they'll be introduced by the end of the first month.
This is actually really good. He is just answering questions as it is, with complete transparency and not sugar coating it at all. Even if some of those answers disappoint people. Say what you will about EA but they are definitely listening and even going a step beyond every other game studio right now. No other game company has ever been this openly honest in an interview.
I have bfv I don’t recall lootboxes in that game Edit: I just checked on bfv and there is no lootboxes that u are talking so stop hating on EA ABOUT Lootboxes in there new game u need to give them credit where credit is due
@@Sreal-uo1ly Yes, you can pay extra cash for Airlifts that contain weapon skins, basically Battlepacks with a different name. They aren't too bad to be honest, Battlepacks weren't really bad to begin with, but it's still pretty misleading to say "No Lootboxes" and then unveil Airlifts the next day.
If you understood how guns worked underwater combat would be impossible. Besides give them time and they could develop such things in the game. I am sure underwater combat is going to be a pretty big request when the game launches. They just need to figure out how to make it work and make sense at the same time.
Big Red I understand how they work perfectly bub I just like how the under water world is in this game there is fighting in the air on the ground I want fighting in the water simple as that
Underwater monsters and combat movement are probably going to be the most challenging task. I am with you though underwater combat sounds incredibly fun and I hope they can ace it.
Stoned Homer That's what you took out of the interview, how big the world is? How is that a thing people are excited about anymore ... and not instead worried about??
Thinks the problem with Andromeda was it's release window? Listen, Titanfall 2 is a phenomenal game that launched with a very bad release window. Andromeda was poo poo.
I still don’t get why offline mode isn’t at least an option. I’m fine with online mode being an option, but why am I required to be online at all times?
Of course you can. There's 6 difficulties though, and I'm pretty sure you're in for a headache if you try to solo dungeons on the 4th 5th or 6th difficulty.
Well I had a team of 4 on hard mode stronghold on the demo but my team left me solo and I completed it. Not sure if it can be started solo actually, the devs keep saying everything can be done solo. I completed the fucking thing but it took me like 2 hours because breaking shields on enemies on hard mode was taking me like 2 minutes per enemy. Very difficult, but I think the HP and damage of enemies is also boosted being in a group and when they left I think the enemies kept the boost.
I just turned the game back on for the first time since the first cataclysm. Despite there not being a cataclysm active. The game is even more laggy than it used to be.
What I wanted to ask was, will there be further land expansions because he said that there will be no deserts, no ice zones. So that begs the question that in the future will there be other zones like deserts or ice, or even will there be underwater combat. Learned a lot though but Im still a skeptic at this point.
It's a "games as a service" thing where all future DLC content will be free, kinda like Battlefront 2, Battlefield 5, Monster Hunter World, etc. which in itself wouldn't exactly make it impossible to play offline as long as you kept patching the game, but because this is basically a loot farming game the developers will never risk people exploiting/hacking/cheating offline then taking their progress online. Makes it pretty much impossible to stop cheaters if they do this. So why don't you join the rest of us in the 21st century already? Fucks sake...

florida might even be a day or two after launch, I want to know what went into the game, what a bunch of reviewers thought and if there are any major bugs /shitty EA practices that have squeezed their way in
malkavian2 i feel you a lot of people are against pre ordering but it doesn’t really make sense if you’re gonna get then why not get it early if but you’re not sure about a game then yeah don’t pre order
florida because I want to wait and see if EA tries to introduce any of there shitty practices into the game
If I hear they are introducing preorder bonuses,missions or equipment then I simply won’t buy the game
Plus there have been too many times when what they have shown early on is very different to what we get on completion (colonial marines and watch dogs spring to mind)
Il sit back and wait quite contently and if I like what they release I will shell out the money but trust is something that the games industry lost from me a long time ago
I already pre-orderd 😐
Seems like a cool likable guy, hes like the cory barlog of bioware. Sets me more at ease and after all the e3 18 stuff im just excited for the game.
Oopssss
Not a bioware game without romance options
Pin Head luckily you have Party Chat🎧 for that!!.... 🎮
Yeah hopefully I can romance that fat Samoan dude
Other than that it's made by Bioware
M Till hopefully
I thought a game was a Bioware game when Bioware made it...glad you have that call over them.
I got only one: CAN I HAVE MY FUCKING MONEY BACK? 20 hours -.- huge map, huge PR...wtf dudes?
3:12 “it came out the same month as Zelda” 😂😂
Same release date as Days Gone , February 22 2019
Real Gamer i bet Days Gone will change the date!
One is a single player open world game the other is always online live service multiplayer game. I don't think they necessarily appeal to the same audience so it is fine.
Cutter Elf Believe us, Days Gone Is getting delayed
Luis Caldeira You realize that Sony probably knew the release date of Anthem long before us, before revealing Days Gone release date yesterday right? For example Anthem pre order page with descriptions and screenshots was already up on psstore the moment the game was revealed. I am 99.99% sure that they didn't create that page in 10 seconds.
Great, two Lame-ass games I will not play.
Ok this is waaaaay better and informative than the cringe we just saw at E3, learn from Sony! bombard us with trailers and gameplay footage, and only speak if you have something meaningful to say, in a natural, humble tone, we're not in the 90s! ps at E3 never ... ever bring in mobile games, I doubt casual mobile "gamers" know what even E3 is.
I thought we learned from Sony that weird japanese flute solos were more important than gameplay.
Your statement would've been true if after the flute solo they splashed the game title and that was it, but the intention was to set the mood, and what followed was a kickass gameplay footage. what's really weird is your statement considering that pretty much all Sony's trailers included huge chunks of actual gameplay, something E3 2018 lacked heavily when it comes to big AAA titles.
It was a joke, I'm not trying to argue with you. Idgaf about who people think did better at E3.
Sony's E3 was absolute butt.
This comment is funny as hell... Months later.... After the Blizzard/Diablo debacle😂

"Are you guys looking forward to overhauling all the game's systems in like a year and a half?"
"I would hope not"
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH *cough* AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!
I like how most of the answers were “no” or “not at launch”
"Are you gonna pull this off?"
*crying intensifies*
Ok, no pvp....There is a chance for this game now
Travis L. PVP=fun
I agree. Pvp would be pretty cool
Josh Bennett IMHO PVP is like a drug. When a company like EA is allowed to control a PVP game economy, they will abuse it to make money. They have very little track record of being responsible, and millions of gamers have fallen into the life sucking grinds they create and use to feed and teach addiction to younger audiences. The only way to succeed and gain a more positive position in the world of gaming is to avoid it all together and make better quality games with better narrative, like the Bioware of old. In the end, that is what people remember and value. Sure you could waste your life grinding through PVP, paying for expansions and accessories and end up spending your own or someone else’s hard earned money, but a good story and game world will leave you feeling far more satisfied with your life. Like comparing masterbation to a true relationship. No contest for me. I’m never going back to the PvP rat race. Not when I know games like SWTOR exist and continue to to be made of people just said NO to this abuse.
Josh Bennett but can also = toxic community
Pvp is what kills 90% of these types of games. Destiny would be better with less focus on pvp. Same with the division. It’s all trash and serves no purpose in an mmo type game.
Cosmetic only microtransactions. Good. I can tolerate that.
You can also unlock all those cosmetics by playing the game.
good sheep.
@@chadthundercock4982 said who? It's EA after all...
@@garnichts4224 Mike Durrah- Executive Producer of Anthem.
Not only are they Cosmetic only, but it won’t be Randomized via Loot Box. A Player will always know what they’re going to get when they drop money. It’s why I hate Destiny, I hate the Microtransactions they have. Warframe is the best model for how Microtransactions should be. Cosmetic Only and knowing what you’re going to get.
2:52 is what you looking for.
When I first say anthem I thought that I was going to have to pick on javelin and then stick worth it but now after hearing that you can switch freely, in hella pumped!
underwater fighting expansion coming summer 2019, only $40 for ability to fight underwater.
Bailey Pope all dlc is free tho, only paid cosmetics
@@charizard6969 black ops said there would be no micro transactions on launch..that lasted for two weeks. Just look at EA sport games..they'll be introduced by the end of the first month.

These rapid questions are so good. It just makes sense these questions that are simple questions from the gamers and simple answers.
You heard people on twitter. WE. WANT. DRAGON AGE 4. AND A GOOD ONE.
"-can i play the game offline?
-No
-OK, bye."
Juju fr wait but why would you want to play offline. It’s not like you are carrying your console/ pc around the place
yeah man its like WTF this is so dispointing
@@Edooongular because not everyone has good internet and as was proven last year, single player games are better
This is a multiplayer game though.
@@Edooongular laptop. Duh.
This is actually really good. He is just answering questions as it is, with complete transparency and not sugar coating it at all. Even if some of those answers disappoint people. Say what you will about EA but they are definitely listening and even going a step beyond every other game studio right now. No other game company has ever been this openly honest in an interview.
do you still stand by that statement in 2022
"There are no Loot Boxes, Treasure Bags, or anything like that"
That's what they said about Battlefield V...
Not made by the same studio fuck face
@@lilbreezy1099 Published by the same Corporation, means same business tactics...
Wait what lootboxes are in bfv?
I have bfv I don’t recall lootboxes in that game
Edit: I just checked on bfv and there is no lootboxes that u are talking so stop hating on EA ABOUT Lootboxes in there new game u need to give them credit where credit is due
@@Sreal-uo1ly Yes, you can pay extra cash for Airlifts that contain weapon skins, basically Battlepacks with a different name. They aren't too bad to be honest, Battlepacks weren't really bad to begin with, but it's still pretty misleading to say "No Lootboxes" and then unveil Airlifts the next day.
Interviewer: "Will there be X in the game?"
Bioware: "Not at launch.
Not at launch.
Not at launch.
Not at launch."
Sounds awesome...
Ikr 😂
Why do you have to kill anything in everyday life? Have you ever killed anyone? Are the cameras still on?
This killed me right here.
How did Zelda affected ME A sales when these games didn't even target the same platforms... ? :(
Bhushan Vaidya which one would you buy Zelda or current cod?
higher preference to zelda, simple
Omg I would love it to see Isaac Clark in another game
I really like this format. Good job
"no"

5:15 Does he throw shade bout D1 with TTK? I think this MAY have slipped beneath some ppl ! LOL
i caught that lol
The title should be 50 actual questions about anthem
A very interesting interview, I'm really hyped for it! :D
I feel sorry for you, man.
3:55 The best awkward, hilarious low-key "WOO".
No underwater combat whaaaattttt 😥
If you understood how guns worked underwater combat would be impossible. Besides give them time and they could develop such things in the game. I am sure underwater combat is going to be a pretty big request when the game launches. They just need to figure out how to make it work and make sense at the same time.
Big Red I understand how they work perfectly bub I just like how the under water world is in this game there is fighting in the air on the ground I want fighting in the water simple as that
It'll happen in due time, they just have to do a whole lot of work to perfect the underwater fighting mechanic as I can imagine it is not easy.
Big Red Russia has an amphibious assault rifle so just saying guns do work just not all of em and fingers crossed 🙏🙏
Underwater monsters and combat movement are probably going to be the most challenging task. I am with you though underwater combat sounds incredibly fun and I hope they can ace it.

“Is there a desert area”?
“There is no desert area.”
Aawww...That would’ve been fun, and it would’ve looked badass as hell :(
This game needs a desert, snow landscape, tech landscape, etc.
It kinda of is deserted now
Can you imagine one of these with NoManSky back in the day ? xD
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes ... Hmmmmmyes"
Fast editing like this is so amazing!
This format is a good test for how good a sport these people are... I like this guy.
"How destructible are the environments?" "There will be destruction." Classic EA
24 Hinterlands sounds pretty big.
Stoned Homer That's what you took out of the interview, how big the world is? How is that a thing people are excited about anymore ... and not instead worried about??
"Will the game be good?"
"No. *nervous laughter*"
I didn't know Game Informer had a channel, I like this style of questions c: its funny to see the reactions to questions too haha
massive respect for the EP for and you for doing this
Wow no striders in game weeks after launch... how many times did he bring up the striders and then being a mini fort? 🤦🏽♂️
Thinks the problem with Andromeda was it's release window?
Listen,
Titanfall 2 is a phenomenal game that launched with a very bad release window.
Andromeda was poo poo.
I still don’t get why offline mode isn’t at least an option. I’m fine with online mode being an option, but why am I required to be online at all times?
Travis Tomison because they said the world is constantly changing
Why is that a problem?
Why is that even a problem? Do you not have a decent internet connection?
Its only online because people can join at anytime so it has to be online only
That interview was excellent. Good work.
This was potentially the must funny interview I've ever seen from a game journalist. Chapeau!
5:16 Hurt me straight in the destiny
Feels like the interview for no mans sky
William E hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaa what?
Casual Bird “feels like the interview for no mans sky”
Uhm. How.
He kept that $20
Love this, great interview style!
Can't believe this game came out in 2019
Can you solo the whole game?
Bet my answer will be no, hopefully not
Of course you can. There's 6 difficulties though, and I'm pretty sure you're in for a headache if you try to solo dungeons on the 4th 5th or 6th difficulty.
Toast. yes NOPE the fortresses require groups of 4
Well I had a team of 4 on hard mode stronghold on the demo but my team left me solo and I completed it. Not sure if it can be started solo actually, the devs keep saying everything can be done solo. I completed the fucking thing but it took me like 2 hours because breaking shields on enemies on hard mode was taking me like 2 minutes per enemy. Very difficult, but I think the HP and damage of enemies is also boosted being in a group and when they left I think the enemies kept the boost.
Daemonshade it can’t be started solo unfortunately. It says you need a team to begin it, which sucks
Will the graphics be downgraded? "Yes"
Will they be downgraded but still good?-yes
So no 1080 60fps , and maybe 4k at 30fps ???? Why
Console
Those 30fps are more difficult to achieve than a higher resolution performance-wise.
Also, he did say PC is not limited to 30fps.
This just answered so many questions I had for this game
“Have you killed anyone!?”
“Are the cameras still on?”
Can we cancel and put the money towards Star Wars 1313 and Dead Space?
"Is this game like Destiny?"
"This game is no like Destiny."
*Game turns out to be like Destiny*
Nothing like destiny...infact anthem is a complete joke lol
Need more these in the future this is great
I just turned the game back on for the first time since the first cataclysm. Despite there not being a cataclysm active. The game is even more laggy than it used to be.
Can't wait to play anthem
Jane Phoenix as soon as I suit up in my colossus im going to be dummy thicc!
Jane Phoenix same here! We should team up on launch day I definitely need anthem friends
Felix Cepeda lmao same none of my friends are going to buy it but I preordered it idec if it’s EA
Random Life Videos yea man fuck the haters everyone’s deserves a chance to prove something good and I know anthem’s it! Can’t wait to play
@@FelixCepedaChannel Bruh...
- Will the game be downgraded
Dev: yea... no
(Few months later)
BIGGEST DOWNGRADE OF 2019
Just compare gameplay from e3 2017 and now and just see how much they downgraded the shit out of it
Did you not see The Division downgrade
I know he is not part of the development team of Bioware but... Where is my Cory Balrog!?
cory barlog*
Please do these rapid fire questions ALL THE TIME! LOL
What I wanted to ask was, will there be further land expansions because he said that there will be no deserts, no ice zones. So that begs the question that in the future will there be other zones like deserts or ice, or even will there be underwater combat. Learned a lot though but Im still a skeptic at this point.
You know these questions are turning me off the game.
You can play solo, but it's harder to finish missions that way. Why not make it offline too then...smh online only kills it for me
- Jayden - i know i’m late but you’re right some dudes are just stupid and don’t fucking think before they talk
There’s matchmaking for everything
@dianna k what are you even talking about?
you can play it single player but not offline.
How is it half finished?
It's a "games as a service" thing where all future DLC content will be free, kinda like Battlefront 2, Battlefield 5, Monster Hunter World, etc. which in itself wouldn't exactly make it impossible to play offline as long as you kept patching the game, but because this is basically a loot farming game the developers will never risk people exploiting/hacking/cheating offline then taking their progress online. Makes it pretty much impossible to stop cheaters if they do this. So why don't you join the rest of us in the 21st century already? Fucks sake...
