I mean I wish they would have shown some gameplay, but it still looks like it's going to be dope. And considering this has absolutely no multiplayer I highly doubt it will suffer like anthem. Anthem had problems far deeper than just the game itself. Plus I fail to see how this looks like the release date was set in stone. And titanfall 2 was amazing in it's single player story, but it was released at a bad time by EA. This is a huge game based on a huge franchise and will fair a lot better in it's release date.i mean, what bannanna said. this had a fixed date in mind to capitalize on the holiday and proximity to the movie release. this probably isn't much different else where but in software development there is the "iron triangle"
a project has: resources, time, features (scope). you can fix any 2. most software development has fixed resources because hiring and firing is very disruptive and "more cooks in the kitchen" rarely actually speeds up development substantially until a lengthy on-boarding process is complete. therefore if you choose to fix on time (release date fixed) then you have to negotiate on features.
doesn't really matter that anthem is a very different kind of game. this just looks like (to me) a product of fixing a release date and cutting features/polish to hit that date instead of having a strong vision for what they wanted the game to be and shipping it when it is done.
