Since Anthem being worked on by 30-person here is my suggestions for the game.
Big update to Anthem some people calling Anthem 2.0, this sounds like it could be like a new game. I am fine with it being calling something like Anthem 2.0/Next or have a DLC name attached to it, but people who brought Anthem game should get this update for free. I am fine with you selling Anthem DLC name on Origin as long you make it clear that those people who brought discontinued Anthem will get Anthem Next or DLC story for free. You could sell new Javelin Armer/suits and some shards in-game currency set with this new Anthem DLC update I would buy it and sure others would too.
This probably is just a big update to Anthem, but if not what I listed above is the furthest I would go with it, I am just thinking of some YouTubers that will give you some very bad press if you don’t!
I am going call update, Anthem Next, what I like to see in it. Before going on, Anthem graphics is excellent and combat action is top-notch already.
I like Fort Tartis, but it should be a place where a person would like to go to. I would like there to be a Merchant store where you can buy and sell weapons, and something like Artisan store where you can buy your special abilities like Eternal squall, Bitter harvest abilities. The Seasonal store and regular store seems more like gambling stores and seems to be out of place. Maybe have a place where you can play poker with Ai characters or with other Anthem players, this might be interesting in Fort Tartis. When you play with friends and you go to Fort Tartis you should be able to see your friends in Fort Tartis with you. Most of the main storyline missions should not be gotten from Fort Tartis, this would be too many loading screens to deal with. A person should still be able to get side-missions from Fort Tartas though. You can do a couple of main storyline missions in Fort Tartis like Hell or High Water when Praxley comes to you, and if you are playing co-op with your friends this cute scene should be shown to your co-op friends simultaneously and character updates applied to all players too. But most missions should be given to you in gameplay after you complete a mission with a short cutscene to introduce it to you the next mission. In the Anthem Next, it would be cool if there are some small village/hamlet in the gameplay itself where you buy and sell weapons and maybe Ai characters come up to you and give you a mission.
It seems like you were tiring to interject some third-wave feminists in the game. Just look at the Zoe character that maintains your javelin, Zoe in the retail version is so boring, compared with the E3 2017 trailer. Some of Nees Gilie's character interacting with other characters in Anthem makes him sounds like a sex creep. It is important to get input from female gamers like Melonie Mac and Jennie Bharaj, this would make this game better. But please don’t get input from third-wave feminist, they won’t play or buy this game anyways.
I would like to see First-person option in the game, this would make this game seem so much more Immersive. Missions seemed to be based off on one huge Jungle world map. I am assuming this world is just adverse like earth, where it has desert, large cities, volcanic area, a south pole where it is snowy and Icy, Anthem Next should be just as diverse if not more. I would have rather been broken down into five smaller/large world maps than they could have based on different themes like the desert, snowy Icy, Oceanic floating city some something like water city Tipoca City of Kamino in Star Wars, caves, wilderness, large alien city or something in the concept art of Anthem. Yes, Strongholds are more diverse but they could be more diverse though. Some Stronghold Ideas can come from missions, but there should be a 25, 50, 75-minute version instead of 22 minutes like it is now. If you are going to settle down to one set time complete a Stronghold it should be 50 minutes, like it is in Left 4 dead 2. I would like the creatures to look and act scarier too.
The interface should be more simplified, from the main menu you should be able to go everywhere from there, you shouldn’t have to go to Fort Tartis to continue with your missions. I know you can only use two-weapon type in Anthem at one time like handgun and riffle but when swapping handgun for laser weapon in the forged in the middle of the game, the laser weapon should not be out too, because it is not the same ammo type as a handgun. The game Interface should be a little different from the PC and console version because pc uses a mouse and the game console version uses a controller. Pc version can use a character module version because you can click and drag with your mouse real easy to switch our weapons with outgoing through a menu. For example, look at Diablo 3, there is an inventory button for the Pc version, the game console version interface is really different in Diablo 3 compared to PC. I see you went through a lot of effort through the interface but sometimes simpler is easier. When you get to the score screen their no option to exit out of Anthem. Maybe going through the interface and see if you can make it simpler. Most PC that runs Anthem have at least 16 gigs of memory, in a case when a person has more than 8 gigs of memory it would cool if Fort Tartis would be loading into memory so going to Fort Tartis would be instant.
Besides your normal advertisement, you can do an hour-long movie that has video clips and gameplay with it. Something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geqUtEjdREc.
You are probably going to do something like this anyways. These are just some of my ideas you could do for Anthem Next. I like Anthem and it is one of my top games even with all its flaws.
