One thing we'll be showing in-depth this time around is combat. The power of the Javelin exosuit will be on full display as players take on the most ferocious enemies seen yet.

4. Developer Insights

The dev team at BioWare has been hard at work, and now they're ready to show it off in-person. Hear some of the guiding principles that have shaped the development of Anthem as BioWare General Manager Casey Hudson, Executive Producer Mark Darrah, and Lead Writer Cathleen Rootsaert take the stage.

5. A Look Behind The Curtain

Pretty much expecting people whining about microtransactions to ruin this.

Meh, I'll have agree to disagree on that.

While there are several instances where microtransactions are a perfectly legitimate way companies can have a sustainable business model, there have been several instances where studios shipped a less than complete game.

The microtransactions in A.C. Origins seemed to me perfectly above board. If you wanted to get the armour that looked like a mummy or the unicorn mount, fine, pay $5. It's above and beyond the game requirements and the in-game armours looked better to me anyway.

The opposite end of the spectrum is Elder Scrolls Online. While they may have made many changes to how this works, they lost my business at launch after spending $90 on a $60 game and still being at an overwhelming disadvantage.

I'm sure the matter has been well addressed already so to be breif, I think after Battlefront II people have a legitimate concern about EA and microtransactions and that the adjective "whining" is unfair.

Also hoped they learned from Destiny 2. While there was no pay to win aspect locking all the best sparrows and skins behind real money was its downfall.

I think Destiny 2 was Destiny 2's downfall. In that they took everything that people liked about Destiny 1 and decided to make it worse.

I'm rooting for Anthem to be a success though

No loot boxes. Some vanity/cosmetic for purchase.

Destiny was hyped the same way. I'm gonna take a wait and see approach. Especially since I don't trust EA to not screw it up.
