Such huge praise from some of you guys...is this game really the next savior of the FPS genre? Will Titanfall be seen by millions of hungry players? Will Goku make it to Namek in time? Find out on the next exciting episode of NeoHYPE.

Well, the cool thing about Titanfall is that the hype truly began in June of 2013 and all will be revealed on March 11th and the subsequent few months where players and press make up their mind about the game.

There's so many fucking games, AAA or otherwise, that have hype trains going on for years. It's incredibly annoying.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Pilot Cloaking has been confirmed to be in the game since the E3 Reveal Trailer.

I really hope it isn't as annoying as Active Camo in Halo Reach/4. That crap drove me insane.

Pilot Cloaking has been confirmed to be in the game since the E3 Reveal Trailer.

Any word on how it works? I haven't had great experiences with games where you can go invisible right off a spawn. Looking at you Halo Reach and Halo 4.

 

[ZERATUL PL]

Just curious, does the Xbox block the "Record That" feature?

doesn't work

 

[Subie_Greg]

Yeah, I remember when Homefront won 60 awards at E3.

I remember people getting tired of COD and saying "how about Homefront"

Replacing COD with COD seems silly

Yet people do that every year so...

Without googling it, I don't even know what Homefront is other than being about North Korea vs Western civilization or something like that...

 

[Orca]

So how's the alpha? Care to break the NDA?

I doubt he has to worry about an NDA. Given his post history it's unlikely he's got an Xbox One, much less Titanfall alpha.

Through my experiences the games I've enjoyed most were the ones I got hyped for in the last month (not riding the train) or so before their release. Thus, I am trying to not get excited about this fucking awesome game.

That Tinypic video was lame as fuck, dude couldn't have been more boring.

I want more from that other guy that put his up on YouTube for like 2 minutes, he knew what was up.

The CoD domination is mostly annoying as the games keep adding on to eachothers flaws instead of fixing stuff. 4 kept it relatively simple and they've just gotten way too much shit happening in a bad way since then for me, to the point where it's just tiring to play now.

Titanfall has a lot of big names that know what they're doing with the genre, which is a big reason it's so anticipated.

God dammit. I'm away for an hour and I miss a good video. :/

That tinypic vid kinda sucked. Still can't believe there are people playing this game tonight. Even have a guy on my friends list playing it.

The game hilariously shows up as "Game" when people are playing it. So his profile said "Game - Playing Game". lol

Also saw James Stevenson playing it last night, but didn't know what it was at the time.

Yeah, he knew where the action was at.

I think there's another guy that posted an HQ off-screen vid of him playing. It's good quality, but it's short.

There's really not much info out on it, but from what I've gathered, it seems like the Pilot Cloaking is intended to be more of an anti-Titan tool, rather than Pilot vs Pilot. We'll see how it balances out.

What? I don't think anyone on this board has ever said that lol.

Given my post history you wouldn't know I have a 3ds and vita, but there they sit

Go ahead a assume that anyone not jumping on the bandwagon is a liar, hater, or troll.

Titan fall will be a good game, same a COD. But this site and the interwebz are full of COD hate and while thinking Titan fall will be the second coming of Christ

They are very much the same. If you and everyone else has the right to an opinion, so do I

 

[Messofanego]

It's an arena shooter. That's about all it has in common with COD gameplay wise.
It doesn't feel like COD when you play it, feels like something completely distinct and awesome.

What does that mean? It plays like a completely unique FPS in its mechanics or feedback? Maybe it just looks like CoD and the mech stuff looks like Hawken.

Care to prove that you got into the alpha and are playing on Xbox One?

 

[antitrop]

I loved Call of Duty 4 and I really enjoyed Hawken. If the two can get together with Mirror's Edge and fuck out a baby named Titanfall, I'm totally cool with that.

Agreed. I liked MW2 actually but look at this shit

From what we've seen, Titanfall UI is still a little too cluttered imo but the flow of gameplay is a far cry from the perk-killstreak-equipment-attachments hodgepodge that is CoD.

 

[TomShoe]

I dunno about that. The guns don't seem to have much recall at all. It feels like a mix of Killzone and Call of Duty.

I'm still excited for this game, but I can't help but feel a big part of the hype for this game is because it's exclusive, and the method it was made to be that way. But that's just a gut feeling.

 

[Subie_Greg]

With what footage of titan fall?

 

[Archpath1]

At work and missing everything
i need a leak when I'm at home refreshing the page lol
Pretty excited

 

[AkelisRain]

Everyone seem's to be getting hype for Titan Fall, I on the other hand can't wait for March 25th to get Pier Solar HD.

 

[Danny 117]

Wow. That is all.

 

[explorer]

Okay, this game is legit. This is going to be huge when it hits retail. I like how you can put your titan on auto pilot, climb a building, jump on another titan, and gun down the pilot to death (in that order).

 

[neurophd]

Enjoying my experience, especially the verticality and Titan battles. Is it known approximately how many people are participating in the alpha?

 

[Fletcher]

Two months seems like such a long wait. Arergggg

For anyone that missed the awesome YT leak vid from earlier, it's been reuploaded on Vimeo. Search Twitter for link.

[explorer]

Yea

But it's EA's Call of Duty, and nothing more

Have you even played this? This is nothing like a COD clone. It's wholly original both gameplay-wise and pacing-wise. I've never played a multiplayer game with this much vertical depth. If i had to compare it to something, I'd say it's more of a Mech Assault/Halo hybrid with seamless and rapid transitions between the two. Add the Unreal/Quake double jump and you have Titanfall.

 

[malfcn]

So what are people feeling so far.. Regular, CE or Digital?

Definitely feeling the same vibes. Respawn delivering the goods yet again just like they did with CoD4 and MW2.

Will probably go for the regular but pick myself up a LE controller.

BTW does anyone from Respawn know why I'm being denied access to the alpha forum, have a few thoughts to share there.

Digital all the way!

I think he is just trying to get a reaction out of people. When someone called him out about actually playing it, he did not have a response.

adding a jump pack and wallrun doesn't make it a new game. Same as adding a slide or corner peak.

all imo

Digital...Day 1 purchase and will be playing a lot

Looks fun...the bots just look like fodder but the game looks like a good time.

Agreed, but there's something there, I can't put my finger on it until I have a bit more time with the game. Maybe its the polish, idk. It's like they set out from the start to do something a little different which is great instead of the same old FPS shit every year.

actually i did

 

[jet1911]

Haha yeah the bots really are as braindead as your normal ennemies in most FPS. Looks super fun though. Those Titan vs Titan fights are looking pretty intense.

 

[Milennia]

The combat isn't very fast in that video, but its faster than anything i have played in a while.
6v6 looks just fine from that viewpoint.

http://vimeo. Looks awesome as fuc...short amount of time if you are playing well.

Yeah, after playing all day I can safely say this game lives up to the hype. The gameplay is fun and a step up from all FPS that dominated this past gen. I'm someone that was skeptical of this game when it was revealed. Part of it was being burnt out on FPS in general. But another was how weary I was based on the universal hype that felt manufactured.

But this is great. The graphics in the Alpha are an eyesore and while it will no doubt look better in the final build, I don't expect it to be mind blowing. But who cares. This is a blast to play.

 

[antitrop]

The Titan vs Titan combat looks to add some very nice survivability to the combat. Like actual nice, interesting firefights that last for more than a second or two. A much needed break from CoD's constant die-spawn-die-spawn loop.

 

[Subie_Greg]

IT's a lot of fun. Who knows what it will be after people who want to ruin your game get a hold of it.

IT takes all the things you like from COD and adds more things you will like.

Is it new... no

Is it fun... hell yeah

 

[soccersamabu]

actually i did

You side stepped it with I have a vita and 3ds.

 

[Milennia]

So what exactly are the cores? Are they just damage steroids on a cooldown for titans like in that video?

 

[HariKari]

http://vimeo. Video isn't doing the...with more pilots and no AI would play like...

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Video isn't doing the AI impressions any favors. Can't help but wonder what a mode with more pilots and no AI would play like...

It would probably be frustrating since you'd be dying all the time while wall running around way too many mechs.
