Rumour: ANTHEM Reportedly Not Dead as BioWare Plans Major Overhauls

It would have to be one hell of an overhaul to bring people back at this point.

"Rumour: Anthem is not dead"

So this implies that the game is currently dead? Lol

Anthem is an anagram of Hat Men. Sounds like a great super hero game actually.

I would be willing to give the overhaul a fair shake. The gunplay and flying felt really good as it was but the rest of the game needed several more months in the oven. Hopefully "2.0" will correct that.

@ShogunRok to be fair it worked for No Mans Sky

@FullbringIchigo It did, but No Man's Sky retained a sizeable userbase from day one — people who stuck with the game. I don't think Anthem has anything close to that right now.

And by the time this overhaul comes out, there will still be another 50 or so games I'd rather spend my money on and time with.

@FullbringIchigo I think No Mans Sky had the advantage of the NEXT upgrade coming out with the XBOX release. They had brand new player base experiencing the game for the first time. Also I think the public has become sick of this fix it post launch attitude games have now. Bioware could fix ANTHEM for the next gen but then EA would want you pay full price again for what should have been the experience people had the first time

Scrap FrostBite and Give it to Respawn.

Release it as a complete game not as a liveservice and release expansions.

No Mans Sky was also a game built by a handful of people and has till today never asked for a single extra penny. No many people are going to give BioWare / EA the same chance at a redemption story. I'd never say never but I would be willing to wager a solid pick my nose and eat it that a Anthem comeback is just not going to happen.

Maybe they can pull off what Square did for FFXIV and make the game so good that it makes people forget about the Anthem we all got.

@ShogunRok Plus it has a smaller studio which i respect more. With a natural dissaster that wiped out their work.

@Octane and now im trying to think of more anagrams...😄

I loved the campaign and side characters - each of whom had enough potential back story to create fascinating twists but these were quickly dead-ended. Bad mistake. I stuck with the game because the world, co-op and combat was fun to occasionally jump into. But last week I tired and frustrated by all the niggling faults, I deleted the game and binned the disk. It'll take one helluva reboot to get me back. I'm mostly angry Bioware totally F**d up what could have been a top notch game and story.

"Rumour: ANTHEM Reportedly Not Dead as BioWare Plans Major Overhauls"

or..

"Rumour: ANTHEM reportedly to one day, someday, in the future, be brought back from the dead if BioWare's planned major overhauls work better than their first attempt at creating the game."

The game IS dead at the moment - its like A Weekend At Bernie's where they won't let the body just be dead and buried. They dress it up to look alive, take turns making its limbs move, but IT IS DEAD.

Explained another way: IT IS A DEAD PARROT. It is not pining for the fjords. ANTHEM is dead. Telling me you have grand plans to reinvigorate this dead parrot doesn't change the fact that it is a dead parrot. BIOWARE'S reputation is pretty much dead too. I paid $60 for a dead parrot? I will never buy a parrot from you again. I will also tell everyone I know that BIOWARE sold me a dead parrot.

If all of this talk of dead parrots seems strange then may I please introduce you to a small group of moderately successful and amusing lads called Monty Python. Search for Dead Parrot Sketch. Watch it but substitute the word ANTHEM for every time they say Parrot.
