A studio with no other titles and only 1 working title and a worker has sony controllers and/or devkits at his work station. I think it's pretty clear they're actively using it in some form in those circumstances.

Yea, It's not just up to Microsoft to keep this exclusive, it's up to EA aswell, and looking at the pre-orders, The price for keeping this exclusive past the original deal just sky rocketed. No way the exclusive deal gets prolonged if PS4 really is outselling XB1 2:1 worldwide.

God, this brings back memories.MGS4 is coming to the 360 guys!!
We all know that Titanfall PS4 is only matter of time.
Indeed.
The problem is that there's simply not certainty to when it will show up on the PS4. I rather lock down on the X1 and know when I can play it.

Dude in a respawn interview with ign already states that its a time exclusive to Microsoft and PC. Respawn want to make money and by the figures at the moment I'm sure more people are purchasing a ps4 over x1 so they will bring the game to where the audience is.

So there is a precedent.
That's because it's coming out on 360 and PC as well.

Didn't we always know this? They said way back at e3 that it was timed.
Besides, MS would have to pay EA an insane amount of money for them to keep what could become one of the largest series this gen off Sony's system forever.

Might be reading too much into this. It's possible they play PS3 games during their break or playtest other games to get ideas.

That can also be read as, Playstation owners may have to wait for the next Titanfall.
Nothing is official other than Titanfall being on the XBO and PC only.
They are pretty friendly with Naughty Dog

We all know Titanfall is coming to ps4, the question is just when. Will they go a whole year? Or would Titanfall 2 already be on the way at that point?
Microsoft isn't shy about paying a huge amount of money for 3rd party exclusives. Gears of War wasn't cheap, you know? I also don't see the PS4 outselling X1 2:1 when this game releases.
Having said that, this game will definetely come to PS4, although I believe it will be later rather than sooner. I could speculate further, but it's pointless as it seems you guys already made up your mind on the subject.
I would gladly be proven wrong, I just don't see it happening anytime soon.

Isn't that a DS4, directly below and slightly to the left of the DS3?

Matter of time.
But the problem is that when the time comes, maybe will be late for titanfall...

You think this will be like Bioshock and be a whole year before PS4/3 see a release? I wouldn't be surprised if Titanfall released in Feb/March for X1/360 and at E3 2014 the PS4 version was announced. This is MS doe. They could Gta/Bioshock this game and lock it up for a whole year.

I wonder how deep that payout to EA was to keep this Xbox only for a timed period...Could EA renig on that deal after seeing the strong preorder and attention the PS4 is receiving?
I doubt it, but interesting to think about. This forum would die if it were to happen.

There are usually install base/sales clauses in these things that if would allow them to release it on other platforms sooner if it doesn't perform well enough.

Microsoft was also the publisher for Gears of War.
EA's shown that they're willing to accept timed exclusivity deals, but they also want the money from competitor's platform even more. Look at Mass Effect.
I also think the Titanfall 'system seller' impact is a bit over-estimated. XB1 is not cheap, and Titanfall is also out on X360 and PC, both with significantly higher install bases.
I don't doubt the release of Titanfall will accelerate XB1 sales significantly, but Microsoft honestly diluted a lot of its potential as a system seller by allowing it to have a 360 port, and PC port.
Same here. Hopefully we can make our voices heard.

I'll get Titanfall on PC anyway, but it's good that it's also coming to PS4. God I hate exclusives. They're only beneficial to console manufacturers, not consumers.

What's a fair amount of money Microsoft should have offered to keep Titanfall exclusive to Xbox consoles? I'm thinking $1 billion, but could EA make more than that by being multi-plat?

why are we surprised? Wasn't it common knowledge that it was going to come to PS4 after the exclusivity period ended?
Biilion??? with a B?
no.
Theyd have to sell like 30,000,000 copies to make that kinda money (really rough math)

Didn't we already know Titanfall was basically a time exclusive ?

According to CBOAT it's 1 year and I believe that is the MS style anyway. Wasn't Minecraft 1 year deal too?

I wonder if it'll be like the whole Rayman Lengends shenanigan lol. Delayed to be release in more platforms.
They probably used it before the XB1 controller was finalized, to play the PC version with. It's also very possible that one of the devs like using a PS3 controller or had his own PS3 lying around for fun. According to Rare when they were making Goldeneye they used modded Sega Saturn controllers since the N64 controller wasn't finalized.

This is totally different situation. MS moneyhatting is probably way bigger deal than whatever Nintendo did and Ubisoft is known to be very supportive of new platforms anyway.
Pretty much. I just want to know when.
I don't think Titanfall will ever come to the PS4. Titanfall 2 probably, but not this one. MS will pay whatever is needed to keep it exclusive, which will not be as difficult as an already established franchise. That's my opinion on it. And MS has a great relationship with EA, and what do pre-order numbers matter when both consoles will sell out at launch anyway?

Final Fantasy XIII comes to mind.

Titanfall will release when the launch period is over. It will be timed unless MS does another deal to keep it exclusive. Who knows but it really depends how big EA expects the franchise to potentially get this gen+how much money MS is willing to spend.
Yep I hope that too.
Well...
EXAMPLE:
Xbone 700,000 units ready for launch
PS4 1.5 million units ready for launch
Sure, they both sell out, but then you've got almost double the amount of PS4 consumers
I can see this first game remaining exclusive.
It's most definitely a killer app. MS have chosen very wisely in this one especially after E3 the amount of awards it's garnered and the near universal praise of anyone who's played it means MS will probably happily reopen the chequebook.

Seems like Minecaraft has been longer. I am just wondering the amount of money MS gave Respawn vs them making money putting it on PS4.
