So no mention of Mass Effect Andromeda at E3! Any thoughts? I reckon dlc plans will still be announced at some point, reckon there still just spending most there time with patches n stuff.........

Think they will now focus on singing their Anthem rather than showcasing their stepchild.
Well, I hope when Anthem's released that Edmonton won't jump right on making Anthem 2 or something else and gets back to MEA instead.

Considering that Anthem will be part MMO it could go different ways. If you look at Destiny that is getting a Destiny 2 now, there are a few points of interest. The story content apparently was poor or lacking in Destiny 1 and it wasn't released on PC. They announced DLC and a sequel very quickly after the initial release also and this was supposed to be happening regularly over the coming years. Knowing BioWare chances are they would want to make Anthem work for longer than 2-3 years. My suspicion is that this is what's coming out of what they learned from ME and SWTOR.
With Destiny 2 coming out later this year I will be interested to say how Anthem holds up against it. Destiny sold something like 25 million copies or something and that's without a PC release. That's pretty amazing in my book. Mass Effect 3 did about 6 million to make a comparison.
So I'm thinking Anthem will have to do pretty well in the wake of games like Destiny 2 being out for them to start on a sequel right away. It'd be interesting to see what Destiny 2 brings to the table and they'll have some big DLC waiting probably to coincide with the Anthem release. Just my guess of course.
I just don't know if BioWare is actually going to try to follow Destiny or if they are going to want to do things their own way still. Of course, they could actually finally do something innovative and take the lead, but so far I've not seen any evidence of that beyond taking existing ideas a little bit further.
- Yeh Destiny was a good game, I really enjoyed it but the ending was terrible and it definitely lacked in the story part of it. Like don't get me wrong, the concept was awesome and I did really get into the story. But the campaign was way to short and it just lacked something, can't quite put my finger on what.... But something. It's like there was a * ton of weapons and armor, that side of it was great. But there needed to be much more story missions available... The multi-player was fun, very repetitive... But fun. And the crucible was pretty cool too. I hope the second game has alot more story missions and a much much longer campaign! I'm looking forward to it 4sure. Anthem looks very impressive from the game play we saw, I hope that turns out to be as good as it looks. Then hopefully once Anthem has been released and up an running, they'll start work on the next Mass Effect game. But I still think it's strange how they haven't given us any eta on dlc, you'd think after that Quarian Ark hint on Apex they would of told us something by now. Or maybe they are just taking there time with it to make sure they get it right. Not rushing it and making sure its as bad * as they possibly can. In which case I'm happy to wait for that. ✌️
Yeah, Destiny looked so cool, wanted to play it but was not PC. So i watched game-play on youtube for a while. Nice!
But Anthem looks very promising so far, there's hope right there. I wouldn't mind if its similar to Destiny since i never played that, but i know most people will.
They have said Anthem was a cross of Destiny and something else. Don't remember what. Destiny was probably the most boring game I have ever played and that is saying something since I like just running around and killing things. Big Fallout fan, Fallout has interesting lore but terrible storylines. I even still play Dragon's Dogma over and over again. Destiny was so boring I didn't even enjoy running around and killing things. I liked Titanfall but I was terrible at it so the mp experience sucked big time.
