The TTK looks way too fast and the recoil looks to low.

Lower skill ceiling games tend to lose my interest quite quickly, but I'm worried about the gameplay on PC. People are too accurate with M/KB controls, driving the TTK ever lower. Not as much fun when you die instantly from across the map.

Watching some of these gameplay videos, these players are missing half a mag and then finally hitting the two or three shots required for a kill. Those kind of misses likely won't happen on PC.

If MS buy Respawn, it won't be moneyhatting anymore, and I would actually respect them for that.

You respect corporate buyouts?

So yeah, TitanFall 2 is almost guaranteed to be published by EA at this point. Still, I would love to know how many games EA has a right to when it comes to Respawn. It'll be awesome if and when they get big enough to be completely on their own.

If Respawn like and agree to join MS studios, sure why not?

Respawn would become a 1st party, and the games would be funded by MS, which is better than moneyhatting.

Respawn would prefer to keep their independence as much as possible. That is why they signed with EA Partners, they give up some rights but they retain the IP and creative control.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

Now that the leaked videos are allowed, the player in this video sucks ass and he can't even jump right. I mean seriously did he never try a platformer in his life?

so we can post videos now :/

awesome! whats the links we can use to show titanfall can it be youtube or does it have to be dailymotion

Ah you edited your comment, anyway you can use both.

By that definition every 1st party game is moneyhatted game.

Right. They're paying developers to make them exclusive games.

 

[mechphree]

It's a real shame it's exclusive to Xbone. I MIGHT get it for my PC though.

Why do you so badly want this franchise to only be exclusive to MS?

 

[Exile20]

The game needs more player controlled players. The game seems sparse and empty and the AI opponents just kind of stand there getting shot. 6vs6 doesn't make sense with the size of the maps, what a waste.

WHat what?

6 v 6 and ai controlled players? No wonder I saw videos with people just standing there getting shot. Now it makes sense.

How many players in all?

This game seems like it is a complete no go from me.

6 vs 6 is the total human players. AI in this game are like creeps in a Moba. You kill them to speed up your Titanfall.

Me? I'll be playing it in PC. And I'm actually somewhat a PlayStation fan.

ohhhhhhhhhh

That is a little weird. In moba type games you can tell creeps from other players but in this it seems you just cant tell in fire fights.

 

[Mononoke]

Just wondering. Seems to me, if you are a fan of the franchise, you would want as many people as possible to be able to play it. I'll be getting this on PC as well, because the better graphics/performance (despite owning an X1).

I hate that Titanfall is exclusive to MS platforms, and even hate that MS moneyhatted it from appearing PS platforms. But I see why MS would want to keep this out of PS platforms as much as possible. And as much as I hate this game locked to single platform, I think it's if MS bought Respawn instead of moneyhatting the sequels. It would be just like Sony did with Naughty dogs and Nintendo with monolith soft.

I won't lie, trolling can be fun and sometimes my love for playstation gets the best of me, but most of time I try to be reasonable and discuss stuff objectively without having any ties to any platform.

I actually wasn't suggesting he was an X1 fan boy. I was just curious why someone would want to have a major company get a franchise exclusively. Especially a multiplayer series, where audience size determines whether it becomes the next COD or Halo.

First party games seem to be more polished and take advantage of the hardware unlike third party games. I prefer first party exclusives for all consoles.

 

[Mononoke]

Sure. But when is the last time a first party multiplayer has taken off the way COD?

I accidentally made a typo there, and in the process answered myself. Halo - duh. So you guys make fair enough points. Basically, if MS owned it exclusively, it could be a more polished game, with more money thrown to back it. Since Halo has kind of drifted off in quality IMO, it could be MS's next Halo.

I guess in that sense, I would kind of like that. I'd feel bad for all my friends on PS4 though. But I guess that is what PC is for. About time they just build their own PC.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

People worrying about AI are worrying about nothing. The player vs player action is often and crazy.

I'd agree, so long as they release their games on PC as well and don't just stick to Xbone. MS could use more first-party studios and if EA is out of the picture and GFWL gone, the PC version would be sure to be on Steam which would make a lot of people happy. The only real "loser" would be Sony, but they already have a pretty fantastic bunch of first-party devs on their own and seem to be doing more than well already. The other concern would be that MS would force Respawn to continually pump out Titanfalls and restrict some creative control, but would that be so different from EA? It's not like we know specifics anyways.

 

[LinkToTheFuture]

So almost exactly like COD, I see. I'll just have to take people's word for it that A works for jumping and thrusting while you're simultaneously trying to aim.

I just hope the Tactical layout is included in the game. But now that I mention it, I don't think prone is in this game, is it?

Bumper Jumper is what you are looking for. I can jump off of walls constantly while still aiming / shooting at people with this control scheme. Default = having to switch from A button to left stick constantly while doing any advanced wall bouncing stuff in the middle of a gunfight which imo is really sketchy vs always having my jump button on LB.

Yeah, I switched to Bumper Jumper today, and it made things infinitely better.

For those of you that have the alpha, can you explain what he's doing to get on top of the building here?:

Is it wallrun > jetpack > turning in mid-air > grabbing ledge?

We are allowed to post videos now, EvilLore said so. Anyways, 6 vs. 6 is fine. Seriously, this entire time playing this Alpha, I never once felt like there wasn't enough players in the map. It's a good balance, especially the way Titans factor into the game.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Evilore pulled rank and undid the bannings. Links are OK.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

I just spotted a video where a player died after his titan deployed, never having a chance to get in, so when he respawns, his titan starts battling its way through the map to make it to his location. I thought that was pretty cool.

Also, I don't know why I never considered the possibility of when someone jumps on top of your titan, you as the pilot can just hop out and shoot the person trying to destroy it, then hop back in lol.

Yea, the fact that the amount of players isn't an issue becomes quite clear pretty quickly.

 

[Goodacre0081]

This is a good point - I doubt Respawn wants to keep making TitanFall for the rest of the generation. Hopefully, in the unlikely event that Microsoft does buy them, they'll realize that the talent matters more than the IP. I think they still realized this with Bungie by letting Bungie go and creating 343 instead (where it was clear 343's purpose was to make Halo related stuff).

if MS wasn't so hell bent on pushing Halo they could have kept Bungie happy by allowing them some free reign on future projects. they could have had a new exclusive IP in Destiny that would have brought in so much more interest than Halo4,5,6

Spoiler

imo

a Respawn buyout might relegate that studio to the same fate. if we see the parallels so does Zampella

Haha, saw a mid-air shootout between two ejected pilots.

Doesn't seem special to me. You do a lot more crazier stuff then that in your average traverse.

Basically, he's not doing any special move here. Just using the regular parkour.

I don't think Bungie enjoyed being owned by MS.If MS didn't give them the freedom and contracted them the founders and many many people would have just walked out the door and MS would have likely been left with a near empty studio with a logo on the door.

hes actually just wall running to the top i don't think he used the jet pack, i don't really use the jet pack. not if i need to do a long jump.
