Support NeoGAF

[matthieuC]

When would you all guess the release date would be? This fall or spring 2017?

 

[SargerusBR]

I have seen it.

Spoiler

Not impressed

 

[ShutterMunster]

Looks like the graphics have received a nice boost! (Doesn't look good enough to be CGI)

 

[FonkyByNature]

Can't wait !!! Swords...

PS4 version this time is great. I will have a lot of friends who are interested in this franchise but don't own an Xbox One.

I loved and still love Titanfall on Xbox One but i have zero friends who own the game which means me playing with strangers on Attrition, which is pretty much the only mode that has people playing.

 

[Jofamo]

But with fun and diverse enemies, interesting loot, a at least passable story, a little above average shooting mechanics and less grind?

Yeah I could dig that.

 

[Xav]

Titanfall 2 wishlist.

- Put it on PlayStation 4. (Confirmed)
- Add a single player campaign. (Confirmed)
- Use the Frostbite engine.
- Cross play between PC, PS4 & X1... NX

 

[IHaveIce]

Finally <3 And Sony-Plebs get to finally feel the titanfall love aswell <3 awesome

 

[BrettHeazy]

mechs with swords. fuck yeah

 

[Newtype-001]

Finally time for us PS4 owners to eat

 

[Akai__]

So surprising that it's not an exclusive anymore.

How so? I thought that was pretty obvious giving the success that it actually was.

 

[dt2]

Titanfall was great there just wasn't a ton a variety in weapon choices and in games with that kind of progression it's always problematic for the overall life span.

I personally hope it shows up on Steam this time hopefully that will give it legs. It sucks that there's only like 300 people playing it now.

Pretty sure it's not going to show up on Steam. They're definitely going to use this to leverage their new Origin Access service as well.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Nice! On my birthday. Can't wait to see the full reveal!!

new engine looks good.

 

[Raylan]

Teaser Trailer and then waiting 2 months? Ewwww....... okay.... -_- Sucks ass.

 

[Alexious]

Teaser trailers tend to have bad/ meh-worthy CG, yes.

I'm not sure that's CG, honestly. That seems absolutely doable in real time.

 

[DieH@rd]

I still want to know more about SP before getting excited. After all, PR is PR. That SP could be anything from shitty dumb objectives on MP maps, to full cinematic campaign.

I want the full package.

 

[Keasar]

Played it, liked it, didn't like the sparse story, hated the cliffhanger ending, wish it was more like Xenoblade Chronicles, getting the sequel.

 

[E92 M3]

Swords and mechs are my favorite combo!

 

[kami_sama]

YES!
I loved the first one. I hope this is even better.

 

[Nirolak]

I'm not sure that's CG, honestly. That seems absolutely doable in real time.

I mean, it looks actively worse than several actual games that are already released.

 

[RecRoulette]

When would you all guess the release date would be? This fall or spring 2017?

Spring, they aren't going to put it up against Battlefield.

 

[Roussow]

I honestly don't really need a single player campaign, although I welcome it wholeheartedly, there's a great world beyond the borders of the MP maps in this universe. The first game played so bloody well, all it needs is a more robust multiplayer suite -- and I bet this'll deliver, it's got the perfect foundation.

 

[Nocturno999]

Respawn make it crossplay with PC please.

Titans with swords awesome.

 

[Obliterator]

Glad it's on PS4 this time around. I prefer that over my Xbone so I'll for sure be picking it up on PlayStation.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Pretty sure it's a CG trailer...

Doesn't look CG to me... look at the palm leaf at the left at 0:20.

 

[OneUh8]

Looking forward to this. Really liked the first game.

 

[Zyae]

One of the most underappreciated games this gen

 

[Whompa02]

The weird creature makes me think of Evolve...at least the mech combat was fun in the first game. Hoping for a real campaign this time.

Hopefully this isn't too other worldly. I liked the idea that it was just the future. Not like some weird alien planet.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Spring, they aren't going to put it up against Battlefield.

I could see this game releasing September and then Battlefield in late October/Early November (or the other way around). If Battlefield is WW1, I could see both being able to come out relatively close to each other.

 

[Obliterator]

Spring, they aren't going to put it up against Battlefield.

EA confirmed both this and Battlefield 5 for this year

 

[TheMan]

I still want to know more about SP before getting excited. After all, PR is PR. That SP could be anything from shitty dumb objectives on MP maps, to full cinematic campaign.

I want the full package.

my thoughts exactly.

Single player and also more mech customizability is key

 

[Obliterator]

The weird creature makes me think of Evolve...at least the mech combat was fun in the first game. Hoping for a real campaign this time.

Hopefully this isn't too other worldly. I liked the idea that it was just the future. Not like some weird alien planet.

There were huge alien creatures in Titanfall 1 though?

 

[AnthonypUK]

I could see this game releasing September and then Battlefield in late October/Early November (or the other way around). If Battlefield is WW1, I could see both being able to come out relatively close to each other.

If so they run the risk of losing their playerbase quickly to the bigger, later releases.

very interesting how EA plays it, one has to move imo.

 

[Nirolak]

Spring, they aren't going to put it up against Battlefield.

EA listed both of them as Q3 FY17 (October - December 2016) titles.

 

[Alexious]

I mean, it looks actively worse than several actual games that are already released.

Indeed. It looks quite good overall, but nothing mindblowing.

Still, it should be a massive improvement over the Source...Seems like they're using UE4 now.

 

[EL CUCO]

PS4, I'll finally get to play this.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It is using UE4 in all likelihood.

Respawn aren't an internal EA studio. They were also hiring people with UE experience IIRC.

Well, I am okay with this as well! Thanks for the heads up.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Noooice. I hope they can go from the first games floaty 30s-50s FPS to a solid 60, other than that the controls were already so solid and satisfying.

 

[Respawn]

PSVR support please and all systems are a go.

 

[Obliterator]

EA listed both of them as Q3 FY17 (October - December 2016) titles.

Yep they straight up said both Battlefield and Titanfall will release before Christmas.

One will likely be September / October and one in November

Titanfall will likely release first as it has been revealed. We've still seen nothing on Battlefield

 

[RecRoulette]

EA listed both of them as Q3 FY17 (October - December 2016) titles.

Oh really? That's awesome news then, considering all of the silence I didn't expect this out in 2016

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

PSVR support please and all systems are a go.

Not going to happen lol

 

[Nirolak]

Indeed. It looks quite good overall, but nothing mindblowing.

Still, it should be a massive improvement over the Source...Seems like they're using UE4 now.

They are actively hiring for Unreal Engine 4 jobs for their new IP, but I'm not sure if Titanfall itself has switched engines or if they just tried to upgrade the renderer to something modern.

Oh really? That's awesome news then, considering all of the silence I didn't expect this out in 2016

A lot of publisher really like short marketing cycles now. I'm expecting more than a few E3 titles announced for this Fall.

We still haven't seen Watch Dogs 2 for example which is supposed to be out in November.

 

[Kill3r7]

There were huge alien creatures in Titanfall 1 though?

Correct.

 

[7DollarHagane]

one of the best of this generation so far. Hopefully they can keep players playing and buying the game longer for the 2nd one.

 

[Bsigg12]

PSVR support please and all systems are a go.

Considering 75% of the time playing is spent running around at extremely high speeds with quick movement, there is no way VR support will ever work without being extremely nauseating. In fact, the team at Respawn tested the PC version of the first game in VR and it made them nauseous.

 

[Boke1879]

Maybe this will fill the void of ZOE. Can't wait.

 

[jbug617]

Battlefield in October and Titanfall 2 will be their November game.

 

[Empty Space]

Pretty sure it's not going to show up on Steam. They're definitely going to use this to leverage their new Origin Access service as well.

I'd imagine not, but I can hope! Crysis 2 did show up on steam eventually. There is a precedent for it, even if the last game to do so was a game from 5 years ago and its sequel didn't follow suit.

 

[Lunar15]

I thought they'd ditch the story of the last game, but it looks like they're moving forward, given that the drop pod says "James McAllan" on it.

 

[SmartWaffles]

This is probably a prequel? During the Titan Wars?

Spoiler

MacAllan has to be dead at Demeter.
