Yeah this screams Destiny to me also. The only thing I like from that video though is the zone design, it looks like there is a lot of verticality which is something I always enjoy. Other than it looks like Destiny.
I guess it will just come down to execution and gameplay.

Meh. It's a psuedo-scientific psuedo-religious bullshit. BW seems to be on this crusade to say something about religion and science, when this has already been decided by scientists. I guess who they are targeting with this game are the hellfire and brimstone preachers.
BioWare is seeing problems that aren't there, or at least aren't there to the developed mind (note the hellfire and brimstone preachers). Yah, sure, I might've seen science and religion as mortal enemies when I was like five, maybe one time, for like five minutes.
My 2 cents on the game.

Just saw on the IGN stream the head of the studio saying Anthem will have no PVP, its all PVE.
Thats uh interesting. I kinda like it, but it feels like that is not the right move for the market in this day and age. At least this game won't fuck up balance for PVP. Well, it probably will still, somehow.

Honestly not bothering with PVP makes me *more* interested, since it means they won't have to turn everything into samey grey bullshit to keep PVP players happy.
Now, it may all end up samey grey bullshit because bioware ded studio, but at least it won't be due to pvp.

I think the no PVP thing sounds interesting at first but I guarantee this is what would happen: game sales don't meet expectations, twitch streamers dump the game since no PVP, EA directs the team to jam in PVP ASAP, and then everything about the game gets fucked up badly when they shovel in a half assed PVP implementation that breaks balance completely for PVE.
You really just can't do a GAAS game without PVP, EA wants this to be a GAAS game, it doesn't take a Kwisatz Haderach to predict the upcoming trainwreck. I guess its just gonna be more ammo for why EA "regretfully has to shutter Bioware".
