BioWare GM reveals how they will speed up Anthem for launch day Electronic ArtsAnthem might have got off on the wrong foot with its slow and not-so VIP demo weekend, but BioWare\u2019s General Manager has confirmed that they intend to speed things up in the game before launch day. Those who played the demo were left shocked many problems with the game, such as infinite loading and entitlement issues, but the most striking was to see how slow things were in Anthem\u2019s social hub, or Tarsis. However, BioWare GM Casey Hudson revealed to GamesRadar that there definitely be a change to the movement of characters in the game before the full version is released. The closed demo limited players to slowly walking around the Tarsis, making what should be a simple route towards their Javelin\u2019s a drag. Anthem\u2019s Executive Producer Mark Farrah claimed that this wasn\u2019t a bug, but rather an intentional move in testing. He said they wanted to make characters feel a \u201cbit underpowered, so you really felt that strong difference between out of the suit and in the suit.\u201d \u201cIf you look at most video games, you\u2019re sprinting everywhere and we gave you a jet pack machine for when you\u2019re out in the world, and we really want it to feel like you\u2019re just a person walking around and now you are that person in Iron Man armor.\u201d Despite efforts to create that contrast effect, with a consensus already established to be in favor of a sprint option among potential players, its inclusion in the full game has been confirmed. \u201cThere was a run speed that was in [the game]. Then, for some reason, it was out of the game for when that particular build was made. It is back in the main game, anyway\u201d Farrah explained. There\u2019s no guarantee that freelancers will be able to run around Tarsis in the final demo, however, which will be available to all players between February 1-3 \u2013 with the full game set for a February 22 release. In the meantime, BioWare will be focusing on fixing server problems which Anthem players experienced in the VIP demo, as well as some other hotfixes to ensures its actual launch is not plagued with the same issues as the demo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
