At launch, did anyone else kind of hate the fact that you couldn't just keep flying?

This post is more a vent than anything.

I always thought that the overheating mechanic was so dumb for a game set in such a hyper-futuristic setting.

Also, come to think of it, there were no real missions encouraging aerial combat.

Also, the whole "flying is jammed now" thing was super stupid. I love how they never tried to explain it away why they could even do that, but then nothing else mid-combat.

I'm just saying that for a game with such sophisticated flying mechanics, they really tried their best to use it as little as possible for anything besides moving from A to B and general exploration.

Bringing back Anthem's exploration...somewhat

Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster :')

Like many of us, I really loved Anthem. I didn't grind it too much after finishing it, but I loved the world, the lore, and well, the flight mechanics.

Small disclaimer, I work in AI. World models to be specific, this kind of interactive video generators. And I had this idea nagging me: could I use the tech I'm working on to recreate Anthem? Not the real game mind you, but kind of a memory of it.

What you can see here is the AI generating the world live as you fly through it. So yeah, it's a playable memory of Anthem, not a restoration. Bad news: it's free roam flight only. No combat, no loot, no story, no multiplayer, and there's a fair bit of clunkyness / lag.

Good news: you can play it directly in your browser, nothing to install, no account, and ofc free here. I'll keep it up for a limited time because it runs on GPUs that cost a bit. I'm not gonna pretend the feeling is the same. It's not. But at the rate these models are improving, I have high hopes we could have something way better real soon! The more general note is: this makes me think that this could be a way to preserve the games being killed going forward, as there always be footage / screens that can be used to reseed these models.

Hope it brings a bit of it back.

Cheers!

Anthem could have a 2nd chance...

With Destiny 2 having the plug pulled recently. I feel Anthem actually has a 2nd chance if they did a soft reboot/rerelease and actually fixed the issues that plague Anthem from the beginning. And just relaunched it.

With Destiny out of the equation for players there is going to be a huge void left for games as a service and shooters. Games that heavily encourage team based co-op.

Anthem in a lot of ways, resembled the same issues Destiny 1 had when it launched. Where players saw a ton of potential with the game, but it was just barebone with not a lot of content.

Does anyone else feel the same way? That anthem has a second chance if it got a rerelease with some new content.

Hey guys!

A few hours ago, out of nowhere, I suddenly remembered "there was a game called anthem and everyone shitted on it back then" and then I looked up some gameplay videos and the game looks BREATHTAKING. ITS AMAZING!

But I'm disappointed to find out it's been closed. Is there a way to play the game? Unofficial servers or anything? Maybe an offline patch?

Game Update??!!

Edit: Never mind, it was for some reason just installing update 1.70 (last update) to my console even though I had deleted the game from my SSD. Weird. Dang 😢

Um… WTF??!! I haven’t played the game since I got my platinum trophy right before the shutdown and I have played my PS5 since then, but I just turned on my PS5 and I am getting an almost 10BG game update!

Has anyone else gotten this?

Among the many sad

Just joined the anthem game Reddit and am pleased to see how many fans there are and how my absolute disappointment is shared. And since we won’t be playing the amazing game ever again it seems. I am working on a TTRPG adaptation of the game. Lots to do still but if there are any interested in it I will be happy to share the system when it is done.

Strong alone! Stronger together!!!

Still sad

I loved this game, it was so much fun , still sad when I think about how they killed it , yea , sure she was a little sick but damn. Crimson desert itself had some hate when the game first came out, however the developers kept updating and giving amazing updates one after another and while the story is slightly bland the game self itself is one of the best in years . Anthem had a fun story, had amazing mechanics and the flight was some of the best I’ve seen . Please please someone buy the ip and repolish this game and redo it . It has the foundation to be the game to beat
