just finished the Microsoft conference, and they closed with gameplay of Bioware's new IP Anthem. It's pretty much a copy of the Destiny design and story - Humans surviving in a last city thanks to a big wall, and these guys in power armor are the protectors of it. But whats different is the world is actually huge and open. Exploration is a factor, dynamic events and destruction, loot drops. If you play the Anthem demo and the first stage demo of Destiny you'll probably see a lot of similarities. However, unlike Destiny, Anthem looks to be doing a lot more with open worlds and quests instead of isolated zones like Destiny. Now I'm still gonna play, of course, anthem's not coming for a while. but when it does drop I'll probably end up spending more time there. Was wondering if anyone else feels like Anthem is what Destiny was supposed to be?
EDIT: added a video link to the reveal demo.

Why I prefer Destiny over Anthem: -First person (This depends on your play style, I prefer first person over third) -Environment. Although being a planet where the only story came from the last DLC rise of iron, the areas of earth have always been an interesting place. An industrial and cold overgrown cosmodrome in the motherland, that just seems more interesting than a jungle. Venus was a jungle but it had futuristic temples of the vex which were different because they are a futuristic take on an old architecture. The moon was pretty boring (personal opinion) because it had a infected alien temple look, infections don't look cool or interesting they look disgusting, not enough to make a person go ew, but enough to make the person prefer other places. Mars was interesting but the concept of a desert city seemed a little too, not sure actually, the cabal fortifications are very well designed though. Dreadnaught looks weird and peculiar, not so much cool. -Less personalised story. By this I mean that the story doesn't revolve around the character as much, things happen due to the enemies movements against the light, rather than individually against you. But I can't say Destiny doesn't make the main character the biggest hero in the galaxy, little corny. -Not like Warframe. Anthem seems to follow Warframe more than Destiny to be honest, the graphics, the enemies, the overall look.
