TitanFall (EA/Respawn, PC/XB1/360, Spring 2014, Game Informer Leak, All Info In OP)
- Thread starter Cartman86
- Start date
With EA? Not gonna happen I'm afraid. It'll be exclusive to Origin on the PC. At least with that we can avoid any issues with it being only avail for Win 8.
Given Sony's first party lineup we already know about I'd say this is pretty much factually impossible.

Geez this game sounds far from your typical generic FPS shooter. Out of all the games to rip on for that ya pick this one...
Sounds good, I wonder if we'll see gameplay at E3.
I think we definitely will.

People are pissed because they find it very interesting and now it's exclusive. Quite predictable and typical to be honest.

What about those who do want it on PS4? What's their excuse?

Yep. I'm getting Xbox One for sure now. I'll get PS4 later.
According to the leak, they're taking advantage of MS's 'unlimited' dedicated cloud servers which Sony do not provide. Hopefully this means huge battles! Fuck I'm pumped for E3 next week!

Who confirmed this to be timed exclusive? And why isn't it in the OP?

They're Xbots in disguise! That must be it
Was Alan Wake ever a big thing? The Respawn IP can be big, along with 343's new Halo game.

knack looks sweet but honestly...everything is more exciting than another killzone game.
titanfall sounds interesting. but it's a concept that can either go to shit..or succeed. and they better pray it develops a community like halo/battlefield/cod
will pick it up for PC

Reminds me of N4G "Look dude...the bots ain't wanted here ok"
Somehow missed that point, so that is a relief.
We will be able to look forward to Origin Cloud computing. Let's just hope they learned their Sim City lessons come launch week...

Was there any other news (non-Titan related) uncovered as a result of this leak?
Surely there must be other unannounced stuff considering the issue's month of publication.

I mentioned this before a ~week ago in some other thread but do you guys think Titanfall can attract the mass dudebro market? It's unfair to call that whole CoD/Madden crowd dudebros but just for the sake of conversation let's call them that.
I'm thinking with the game being more sci-fi and having MECHS(!) I have my doubts this will be the roaring success Respawn and EA are hoping for. Dudebros (18+) don't like unrealistic games with sci-fi weapons and settings. Before you say Halo, I consider that more of a 12-17 age group game than a dudebro game. I've talked to people who only CoD/Battlefield and Madden and I've asked them why don't you don't try X game and it's always that's it's too unrealistic, cartoony, corny, etc.
Halo's sales are dropping, by the way. That's probably franchise fatigue but it also could be just that sci-fi shooters like that are falling out of favor. CoD and Battlefield are the top dogs. I don't think Titanfall is a guaranteed blockbuster franchise. Might just sell a couple million. I hope I'm wrong, I love sci-fi.
Edit- couple million is prob too conservative, change that to 3-4 mil, like a Borderlands type of success, but not the 10, 15 , 20 million CoD and BF sell now.

I don't care fore Killzone, but I'm definitely interested in Knack. I think there is potential there for a action/adventure/puzzle/platform type of play.
Anyway, I'm always up for a new IP. There are too many sequels. We need some new/innovative games.

I think it's really about how visceral and exciting the gameplay is. That's what it was about with COD, and that's what it will be about here.
We know Respawn knows a thing or two about making incredibly exciting FPS gameplay, with a fantastic unlocking/experience system. They basically built the entire concept in a FPS with the first Modern Warfare game.
I'm one of those people that they completely hooked with the first Modern Warfare, and I am expecting to be a blown away by this game next week. I have a lot of faith in these guys, and I think it's worth noting that Microsoft probably wouldn't have signed this game to a deal unless they saw it in action and were very impressed by it.

It's going to be slow burn tbh. Even if it was multiplat just because the premise so far sounds like a possible hard sell. As the whole dude bro thing is any age. Sci Fi will come back into style tho, probably this gen just due to the over saturation of modern shooters

Oh, so as far as hardcore MS fans go MS will "stomp" Sony's E3 lineup. You should have clarified. I thought you were talking about in general where you know, Killzone 2 sold more than twice as many units in 48 hours than Alan Wake did in two weeks.
And I totally get why it's way more exciting to see a new game from the guys who made Call of Duty and uh, Call of Duty versus a new action platformer from the designer and/or producer on games like Sonic 2, the first two Crash games, the first Spyro game, Jak, and Ratchet and Clank. I mean when talking about pedigree what's bigger than CALL OF DUTY right? Such a visual tour de force with unparalleled design. Totally feel what you're saying.

Ughhhhhh I wish we could kill this argument. We are talking about console exclusives. Stop bringing the PC into it. Was Minecraft a 100% Xbox exclusive? No. But it was a console exclusive and its doing extraordinarily well for MS.
Dayumn.
My entire group of friends will be playing this, no doubt.
I've never been pulled into Planetside 2 because it controls like BF3. Which is to say it controls like garbage.
If they can pull off the wall running, double jumps, and fast pace, AM HYPE.

They are all gaming platforms. Discrediting one of them because people think it is in some weird vacuum does a disservice to the community and the platform itself. I wish we could kill the 'exclusive' claim when it isn't exclusive.

One thing that was a common answer to "so why do you like CoD more than X shooter?" question I've asked dudebros is that it's "controls are smoother", which is 60 fps in their words. Titanfall is gonna be 60 and have that same tight, pixel-precision CoD control so maybe that'll help.
You won't see it on PC until after 1 year of its release. Enjoy waiting.
Its releasing on PC alongside Xbox One.

Simultaneous release on PC/Xbox One. 360 shortly after or at the same time. It's the PS4 version that's a year later.

Games like Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft already do ai calculations on the servers.
I don't think you understand.
Dedicated servers are available to rent, they are just computers that host the game.
They can do physics or AI calculations and then transmit them to the clients connected to the game.
Not connected to Xbox Live in anyway, but this is the same thing as the power of the cloud that Microsoft has been talking about.
No it won't be.
Game isn't even published by Microsoft, even if it was it would be highly doubtful to be exclusive to Win 8 or GFWL.
Lately, Microsoft have been releasing games for Steamworks.
It won't be an easy sell. The fact that it'll be against similar concepts in Destiny (releasing in late 2014, so TitanFall has a head start if it doesn't slip at all) and Planetside will be interesting.
The industry is buying into big, expansive sci-fi shooters being the next big thing but consumers haven't bought into it yet.
I think Borderlands is a good comparison honestly. The concept isn't going to 100% click with the consumer after just a 30 second commercial and the play style switching is going to force a steeper learning curve than what many casual online shooter fans are willing to put up with.

Well shit, good as gospel then. should be in the OP.
Well its also significantly easier.
They've grown accustomed to the various forms of crutches that COD employs to make everyone seem like they are a good player.
Hahahaha, what "argument"? Stating a game is exclusive to Xbox when it actually isn't? Why would you claim this whenever a large proportion of this forum has gaming PCs? Are you trying to mislead them?
Please provide an actual reason besides the obvious: attempting to redefine what an "exclusive" is to use it for console warrior talking points.

That one guy you know is not representative of everyone who plays shooters.
EA Partners' official policy is they let people choose where to publish on PC.
That said EA's presumably providing the servers for the game on PC, the game will assuredly have DLC, and EA gave seed capital to fund the creation of the entire studio so I would say the odds are a bit lower than the average EA Partners game.
