Anthem: 4 Reasons To Be Excited (And 3 To Be Worried)

7. The Javelin Suits

The Javelin suit your Freelancer flies around in has played a huge part in the gameplay footage we’ve seen so far. While the futuristic setting was always going to draw comparisons to one of BioWare’s other juggernauts, Mass Effect, these suits are one of the key differences that have been highlighted.

Back when Titanfall launched in 2014, the claim was that the Titan mechs would revolutionise first person shooters. However, with an almost total lack of story in the first game, the potential was squandered. Titanfall 2 had one of the best campaign in years with a much broader range of Titans, but a monstrously poor release date saw it overlooked. EA are keen not to repeat that error this time around.

The suits, which players will be able to customise in a multitude of ways, are essentially Iron Man armour. Gameplay sees you soaring through the skies to complete missions. The huge success of the PS4 exclusive Spider-Man has set talk in motion of a Marvel Gaming Universe, as well as reminding everyone of Square Enix’s long awaited Avengers title.

Players looking to get their Tony Stark fix might find Anthem to be a viable stop gap.
