Anthem vs Star Citizen
Anthem
Anthem is an upcoming, team-based (up to 4 players) action-RPG where you play as a futuristic pioneer called Freelancers, the courageous few who dared to venture out into a gorgeous open world to explore uncharted areas and take on any danger, be it dangerous alien beasts or merciless marauders, they encounter stoically. Wearing the multi-functional and incredibly useful Javelin exosuit, you'll not only get access to the suit's many weapons and abilities, you can even fly, leap, and climb. The world is very dynamic as well, featuring world-changing phenomena like Shaper Storms or other decision-driven world events that spice up the gameplay by a fair bit. There are tons of hidden secrets for you to discover as well.Anthem is slated to be released during fall of 2018. The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen is an incredibly ambitious and yet highly anticipated (and not to mention, hyped-up especially players who simply adore the genre) project to create the world's very first open world, sandbox game that's set not only in space but also on the many different planets and other locations that you happen to land on/dock to. The game will be pretty massive and it is developed on an as grand a scale as an indie company possibly can. The end product - the game's currently in early access - might end up looking like a Star Wars/Star Trek-like world that's equally in-depth and likely as diverse. Of course, the science-fiction/futuristic feel simply adds to the enormity of the game.However, being the type of game that even triple-A companies have never yet attempted before, the developers have drawn some flak in regard to the chances of actually finishing the game development process and giving their players - the people who had bought and funded the game - a complete game to play. Many critics think that these players will get burned in the end, but for someone who has grown up somewhat obsessed with almost every "space frontier"-type series ever made, I do hope that Star Citizen will be able to reach its true potential even if that means the downloads will take a painfully long time to complete.
