Titanfall: Official Launch Trailer
- Thread starter antitrop
- Start date
Maybe for his latest point, but for a long time before the leaks people had no clue what the final game would be like and how much you will get for your money.
I can understand trying to hold back stuff about a singleplayer game like Mass Effect 3 where you could reveal too much and the great twist and the revelations are so omg-amazing but a multiplayer-only game should be more transparent. What's there to spoil?

That cracking sound when your Titan falls through the clouds never gets old .
It's quite difficult to have cinematic trailer for a game with no story.

The campaign stuff looks great!
Titanfall will take the face of gaming off and replace it with Nicholas Cage's.
There's a lot of story/background to this game, it's just not your traditional SP campaign.

thanks your opinion is noted, now please GTFO
Having played the beta, there seems to be some sort of company involved or something. I can't remember, it wasn't particularly memorable.
The problem is that the story will be far more meta than it should be, it's unlikely that it ever be conveyed in gameplay.
Because they don't want me to be right that's why.
I love gaming just as much or maybe more than anyone here, I live it my working day and when I'm finished work too. But I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't have my doubts.
Yes it does have a story, it just doesn´t have a single player mode.

There is a campaign, with cutscenes and everything. It's not a traditional campaign but it's still there.

Well, their marketing is doing a pretty piss-poor job of conveying that. From the trailers I've seen it's mostly just parkour, jetpacks, giant robots, company, parkour, giant robots. Also, let's be serious here, people are gonna play the game for the spectacle of double jumping from a wallrun, landing on an enemy's Titan and destroying it, not for whatever story they have laid out for it.
What would you be right about?

wotta has been in just about every thread attempting to de-hype the game at every possible pass. Before and after beta. I think he has a point with the little that has officially been revealed, but you can go down that list of posts and see the same general theme "This game is too hyped. Why is everyone so hyped for this? I know you've played it but it's not worth the hype and I'm here to tell you that". I don't know what it is about this game in particular, but for some reason people want to be the hype police for it, and have literally made it a mission of theirs (yes, a different poster with the same MO has admitted as much) to make sure everyone's excitement for the game is brought back down to their level. Using the words of other game media writers (without quotes of course) to back up their point and show that everyone has deemed Titanfall as the "second coming" or "a game changer" even though the majority of games media writers I've listened to or read and the impressions from people who played the beta have mostly been calling it "fun and "fresh". It's tiring and most of all it makes for useless discussion. Let people get over-hyped or under-hyped or appropriately hyped whatever that means. No one can be told what level of hype they should be at for any game. Especially one you've had a chance to play a bunch of.
Very good launch trailer; love the movements of all characters involved and some of the new maps look rad as hell to dash through
I felt like watching a murder with blood stains flying on to my face while reading this post

Most of us played the beta, so we've seen Titanfall. Whatever you call it, hype, excitement...etc, it's warranted.
Hey, I played it too and it was fun, but on a pure content level we don't officially know (as far as I've read that is ) anything outside of the 2 maps we were allowed to play.
All I'm saying is it would really suck if 3-4 of those leaked maps were DLC, so I'm keeping my expectations in check.
going to go out on a limb here:
aside from most of his recent posts mentioning Titanfall in one way or another

He might be slightly"miffed" that he cannot get it on the PS4....
I'm just hoping it doesnt run like ass on my old PC, I did not get a beta invite to try it out first ; (
I think it's fair game to laugh at some of the games media and their hyperbole, but yeah it's independent of the quality of Titanfall.
I think hyperbolic statements like “most important game in years” about a FPS where you shoot dudes are laughable but my first ever thread on NeoGAF a few years ago was about hyperbole in games media, so I probably care more about that than others.
But you're right. Trying to downplay what other people have played themselves is weird. I think before the leaks the concern about the amount of content in the game were totally warranted. After the leaks not so much.
The invite-only beta turned into an open-beta.
Maybe at Shopto it costs that much, but Amazon have it for £42 or you can get it DD for £37 off the US marketplace.
This word gets thrown at TitanFall way too much man. Pretty much every game i've seen there have been hyperbolic statements, whether negative or positive from the media. Yet apparently TitanFall is treated as unique in this now and those statements get cherry picked to try and show some media conspiracy. I'll just do what I do with every AAA release and ignore the writers who go overboard and listen to their more intelligent, rational peers.
EA customer service reps were giving out keys to pretty much anyone that asked.
It's all good, though, it's only a week to wait. NBD
I have a question: You said you didn't like the game when you played the beta, you were even very specific with your reasons as to why. Then said you enjoyed yourself. What is taken out of context on that front?
Why must it be hyperbole? Why can't it be legit praise?
After playing both the alpha and the beta I can absolutely agree with a lot of what has been said. The game is bloody fun in my opinion. And apparently a lot of others here agrees with me.
And personally I would say that referring to Titanfall as just "a FPS where you shoot dudes" is very close to downplay it. You are at least oversimplifying it.

How many games come out where the dev/publishers tell you everything that is on the disc? Questioning the "value" of this as a $60 dollar game because it doesnt have a single player campaign is ridiculous.

That was a great trailer! Getting pretty hyped to play it 
"In-Game footage representative of Xbox One gameplay"
This is what happens when I am surfing, half asleep on the train home.. I miss pearls like this
Brav-fucking-O
He is clearly going out of his way to de-hype the game...but the fact that he also reviews games means he should have access to all the systems and is not the typical fanboy shit
on a more important topic...Direct2play is the real deal? I see the game for $45 but have never used them
As opposed to Xbox 360?
I've seen ads with "representative of PC gameplay" before. For other multiplatform games.
As opposed to "Xbox One footage"...
Be right about what? The reason your posts irk people is how contradictory they are.
When you make a statement like this:
That sounds fair. Contextually, this was pre-leaks so we really didn't know anything.
But then...
this is regarding us finding out the mapcounts(which is 15). Before, 6v6 'over 5 maps' was your worry, finding out the game has triple the amount still isn't worth it. Value is subjective person to person and all, but on record it's wishy washy and makes it seem like as long as Titanfall has no SP then no matter how content packed it is, it wouldn't be enough.
Especially coupled with:
wotta said:
THEN this
"boring like any other shooter", "great fun".
Then it's coupled with a whole bunch of phrasing related to people needing to calm down, don't get carried away, etc. that TheOddOne shows a lot of. Basically, if you really are being 100% honest and truthful it doesn't come off like it whatsoever. Back and forth statements of polar opposite opinions make it hard to engage someone seriously. I totally get not liking how little we know officially, but it's not like they're sweeping the game under the rug to fool people into buying it while they twirl their mustache. It's not some massive conspiracy, man. Interested parties have had a chance to go on hands with the game for significant amounts of time to make up their own minds.

Trailer looks awesome but since it's not on Playstation I'll never play it. Bummer
