This week is all about Bioware's upcoming looter-shooter, Anthem!
Last weekend was the VIP Demo, and it was very eventful! So we're deep-diving on what it was like to play, and whether or not it was good. We also do a bit of a Q/A to explain everything we know about Anthem up to this point.
Since we reference video of Anthem gameplay quite often in this episode (for the purpose of illustrating specific points), we have made a video version of this podcast available on our YouTube channel!
Did you play the Demo? Are you planning on playing the free, open demo this weekend? We want to hear from you!

I hope you haven't taken off your 2019 new years party glasses, cause though we're a little late to the party, we're celebrating the first Starside Chat of 2019 this week!
The biggest news lately is Bungie parting ways with Activision (they get to keep Destiny), so we speculate what that could mean for the future of the franchise. And once we get through some other news we discuss the games we're most looking forward to this year!
