Respawn just completed its season pass for Titanfall, so overall how are things going?

I think they're going well, the game was obviously pretty successful. I think we announced 7 million [entitlements – or unique players] a month ago or so or whatever...We're obviously still selling so we are closing in on 8 million now. So for us, as an early launch on a limited platform we're pretty happy. I think the DLC has been pretty successful especially the last one - Frontier's Edge - has been very well received. I don't know what are you hearing about it? I would be interested to hear your take.

One of the things you said that I thought was very powerful at the time we did our cover story was that focusing on one console with the exclusive Microsoft deal really helped you guys get the game done and make it exciting and fun. On the other hand, there was a lot of discussion and confusion about Titanfall being exclusive and for how long, so while the first game is exclusive to the Microsoft platform, Titanfall as a brand is exclusive to Respawn. So as you move forward are you open to different deals as it goes forward? Do you think there's a multiplatform, multi-console version of Titanfall in the future?

I've already said future projects will not necessarily be exclusive.

If it will not necessarily be exclusive, does your deal with Microsoft and EA cover just the first Titanfall title or is it multiple titles?

Just this one.

Just this one. That's interesting.

Yup.

Thought this deserved its own thread.

 

[Savantcore]

This is my shocked face.

 

[TheAngryMonkey]

I look forward to Titanfall 2 on Wii U

 

[Deleted member 17706]

That seems extraordinarily high considering the NPD numbers.

Must have been a ton of bundles? I can't imagine it saw amazing international sales.

 

[Kyoufu]

I wonder how many of those 8 million were bargain bin prices.

 

[shwimpy]

Good news for Playstation owners who love shooters.

I am more interested in what Stig is working on.

 

[Toxi]

Bomba of the year folks

 

[Zeyphersan]

I look forward to Titanfall 2 on Wii U, 3DS, PS3, PS4, XB360, XBO, iOS, Android, and Steam

 

[Crossing Eden]

And suddenly i'm reminded of the "Is titanfall a flop" thread. Good job to the devs, they made a good fun new shooter, excited to see what they'll do with the sequel.

 

[Bricky]

Titanfall 2 for PS4 confirmed. In other news: sky is blue.

 

[allan-bh]

I understood that these 8 million refers to unique players too.

 

[Impeccable]

I wonder if the Supreme GoTY Ultimate edition will actually be renamed and released on PS4 or if they'll just jump straight in at TF2.

Either way, meh.

 

[RedAssedApe]

sold or shipped

more seriously though...pls make a proper campaign...cod4 level of greatness

 

[The Llama]

8m? Very impressive. Fun game, though I wish there was more too it. But mostly, I wish more people still played on PC.

 

[E92 M3]

God forbid a game you don't like sells well right?

 

[AgentP]

Probably half were the $5 PC sales.

 

[Dougieflesh]

Pretty good sales. Looking forward to the expanded sequel

 

[3bdelilah]

This is my shocked face.

I've got you covered.

 

[Jb]

Well deserved. It wasn't quite the homerun I hoped for but still an awesome shooter.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

HOld on, nearly 8 million copies?


Just.. how? Isn't the XBONE somewhere between 10-12m units worldwide?

a 66% attach rate would be nuts.

 

[Kyoufu]

God forbid a game you don't like sells well right?

It was just a question. I own the game.

 

[DarthWalden]

That's actually amazing for an exclusive multiplayer only brand new IP.

Well done Respawn. The game is superb.

 

[Aeqvitas]

It's not actually 8 million sales, it is similar to how Destiny claimed 9 million unique players or whatever.

So you have to figure everyone who played on an XB1, or 360 counts for this.

Still a good sign of exposure, and I do think actual sales are a lot higher than people think, but nowhere near 8 million copies sold.

It will be interesting to see if the reception radically changes just because it is on PS4. The game now is actually amazing, but I think most of its negativity was undeserved sour grapes.

 

[anexanhume]

They're counting unique players. So that should count used copies and people with multiple IDs, though the latter is probably very small.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

They'll be counting 360 sales too.

 

[Dreamgazer]

The game been heavily discounted on both PC and Xbox digital storefronts. Which is where I would imagine most of the purchases have taken place.

Titanfall is on 360 and PC too.

Good news, hopefully with the success they'll have a bit more time and money to invest in the sequel. Lack of content was the game's biggest flaw IMO. A more fleshed out multiplayer experience with more modes, maps, weapons and titans as well as a co-op campaign mode could be pretty cool.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I wonder how many of those 8 million were bargain bin prices.

You could ask this question in every sales thread, and it would still be irrelevant

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Good no bullshit exclusive shit.

Day 1 buy for me when it hits PS4.

 

[Dougieflesh]

You forgot PC and 360 in your assessment

 

[jwk94]

Necessarily? Sounds like they could go for a timed exclusivity if anything.

 

[chadskin]

I think we announced 7 million [entitlements – or unique players] a month ago or so or whatever...We're obviously still selling so we are closing in on 8 million now.

That doesn't equal nearly 8m sales, just nearly 8m players.

 

[Sulik2]

Wow thats a lot of numbers. I wonder if those free origin weekends padded out that number. If not, they must have done quite well on bundles and digital sales.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Fuck yeah! Knew it was going to happen, but it was one of the only IPs I've been yearning to play on my PS4 that's been exclusive to X1.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Holy shit, I'm legit shook that the sequel won't be exclusive...

 

[Guevara]

players not sales

 

[Dr Amazon MD]

It came out on 360 and PC too.

There's something funny about the wording "unique players".

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

it's 8 million unique players, not sales. It's sold less than that. not to say that it didn't sell well, but that figure is a bit misleading.

 

[Welfare]

Title is incorrect. The 8 million figure is unique users, not units sold.

 

[Dreamgazer]

It will be interesting to see if the reception radically changes just because it is on PS4. The game now is actually amazing, but I think most of its negativity was undeserved sour grapes.

So what about all the negativity from those of us that played it on PC?

 

[Hatchtag]

Best shooter on Xbox One. Thought it'd lose its crown once Destiny and MCC were out, but no lol.

 

[E92 M3]

It was just a question. I own the game.

The statement seemed very dismissive - a theme that is popular in Titanfall threads. I'm happy you own a great FPS.

 

[Surface of Me]

Really hope the MS deal for the first doesnt hurt the franchise in the long run, wonderful game.

 

[VARIA]

I look forward to Titanfall 2 on Wii U

YES! But seriously, they could really do some cool shit with the touchscreen when you're inside a mech.

 

[kingwingin]

Lockdown that framerate to a solid 60 and I'll buy on ps4. Way too much screen tearing on the xbox one for my liking

 

[allan-bh]

Necessarily? Sounds like they could go for a timed exclusivity if anything.

If the money is good I'm sure they will.

 

[RalchAC]

I understood that these 8 million refers to unique players too.

Yes. Unique users =/= sales.

That includes people that bought the game second hand, people that rented it, people that got it from a friend and more.

Still really good numbers though, not trying to say it is a bomba.

 

[m23]

Great news, loved the game. Can't wait for the sequel, just don't make the transition similar to Cod4 to MW2.

 

[PedroLumpy]

Holy crap, is there a breakdown by platform? I recently played it on PC and the population was really low. I can't wrap my head around how it could sell that much, yet have so few playing now.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Really hope the MS deal for the first doesnt hurt the franchise in the long run, wonderful game.

Why would it? The game would have been cancelled without MS.
