Shame about the road map delay for Anthem as new content is what keep these kinds of games going. But at the same time they have done a great job of patching out problems from its launch and adding features, such as a new Stronghold, armour sets, and quality of life improvements (no more going back to the fort after every mission and being able to swap gear in mission – finally). It took Destiny around a year to live up to what it promised and I hope BioWare, or more importantly EA, doesn’t lose faith as the potential for a great looter shooter is still there and, yes, I still play it.
If EA wanted to get into the looter shooter bussiness why didn’t they just make a Destiny type Star Wars game? Four factions to pick from – Rebel, Empire, Sith, and Jedi – with the former being shooting based classes and the latter being melee. They could use planets from the films, speeders to get around on and maybe even a Force time travel element so you could grab a mission from Luke or Obi-Wan? Surely it would be a big seller.
This may be a late entry to the weekend Hot Topic, and not using the idea from above or my dream of an open world Superman game, but I’d love to see NetherRealm make a Warner Bros. fighting game. Neo vs. Agent Smith, John Spartan vs. Simon Phoenix, Harry Potter vs. Voldermort, Riggs and Murtagh vs. the diplomatic immunity men, the list goes on. They could even make it a Sony exclusive and borrow the golden ticket idea from Last Action Hero to explain it all (which I think Sony own the rights to) or use characters from the Sony film library.

PS: Regarding Onibee’s comments about Judgment a couple of weeks back. Sega have replaced the actor and it will still be released on time. Which is great news!
