Titanfall 2 delivered the next important step in this new franchise we are building with our partners at Respawn – a highly-rated, action-packed experience that has thrilled players in the year’s biggest category. Player satisfaction scores for Titanfall 2 are among the highest in our portfolio, showing just how much fun players are having with this game. Titanfall 2 will be played for a long time to come, with new maps, modes and content updates continuing to expand the experience and engage our players. We’re excited about our long-term plans for the Titanfall franchise.

...

We are deeply committed to players in our Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 communities. Throughout the year ahead, we will continue to launch new content and new experiences to expand these vast and dynamic games.

...

Net sales for the quarter were $2.07 billion, a new record for the company. The outperformance versus our expectations was driven by Battlefield 1 and FIFA 17, offset by Titanfall 2. Battlefield 1 is on course to be our best Battlefield ever. Sell through of FIFA 17 during Q2 and Q3 was 8% higher than that of FIFA 16 in the same period last year, and FIFA Ultimate Team sales continued to grow strongly. Like Battlefield 1, FIFA 17 is on course to be our best-selling FIFA of all time.

[black070]

Long term franchise :')

 

[AAMARMO]

Well EA it was kind of your fault releasing it a week later after BF1 and COD.

 

[deoee]

Was released in a bad spot but hopefully people will keep buying it

New free gamemode and maps coming in February and March !

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Whatever the fuck that means...

I completely understand their reasoning for doing it.

Still not a good date.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I wonder how much more than 4 million units they had expected.

 

[GOOCHY]

Whatever the fuck that means...

I like it.

 

[David Ricardo]

Whatever the fuck that means...

 

[GinoFelino]

Long term franchise :')

All the way to Spring 2017

 

[Transistor]

I'm willing to put Titanfall 2 in my top 10 best FPS campaigns ever. It really is a shame it didn't meet expectations but that's not surprising considering when they released it

 

[VeeP]

Shame. I bought both BF1 and TF2, and I've barely touched BF1. TF2 is that good.

 

[SpiceMelange]

That game's singleplayer is almost as good as Half-Life 2, the

time travel

gimmick is really fun. Multiplayer is great fun too, deserved more sales than that.

CTRL + F: "We fucked up"

0 results.


Hmm...

 

[Always-honest]

Well, i'm buying the next one too. If the last one is anything to go buy for future releases.

 

[Menitta]

Good to know they're going to continue the franchise. This means we'll at least get Titanfall 3.

And I can buy another Titanfall artbook.

 

[Izuna]

Come for the Single Player...

...

no that's it

 

[robotrock]

Awaiting a Vince Zampella confirmation

 

[deoee]

Shame. I bought both BF1 and TF2, and I've barely touched BF1. TF2 is that good.

Dito

BF1 and Overwatch feel like shit compared to Tf2 IMO, I can't play them as long as I was before Tf2 came into my life

 

[OdysseusVA]

Could they give Respawn resources so they can remake the rest of the TF1 maps?

 

[Violence Jack]

Short campaign, but one of the best I've ever played.

 

[BigTnaples]

Really hope they don't kill this franchise..




TF2 was the best shooter of 2016 in a year that was amazing for shooters.

 

[forknknife]

Well EA it was kind of your fault releasing it a week later after BF1 and COD.

I still can't believe they did that.
Such a great game.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Gee i wonder why could it be that you launched it in between BF and COD?

 

[NMFried]

Here's to hoping they alternate years with Battlefield to prop up Titanfall against Call Of Duty. God knows it could hold its own with enough push, good word of mouth and some space to move around.

 

[Yabberwocky]

TF2's single player campaign was ludicrously good (and I went into it with extremely high expectations thanks to GAF), so it better be a long term franchise, EA. What the hell was that release date.

 

[arimanius]

Well EA it was kind of your fault releasing it a week later after BF1 and COD.

Fact. And I find it better than both BF1 and COD.

 

[GinoFelino]

Really hope they don't kill this franchise..

Let Respawn work on something new. Fuck the franchise. As long as Respawn is okay..

 

[deoee]

It seems you didn't like the game...?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I played the first level and found it to be pretty pedestrian "shoot the dudes in the rocky place" guff, put it down weeks ago and never really felt the desire to go back.

 

[iMax]

Really hope they don't kill this franchise..

Respawn owns it, so if they want to shop it around, they can. EA just has first refusal on it for an undetermined number of games.

 

[robotrock]

They are independent, they don't have to make it if they don't want to.

Respawn is still actively adding jobs for Titanfall to their website: http://www.respawn.com/careers

 

[bonchooski]

As long as Respawn can still make games I'm happy. They shouldn't be at fault for how TF2 performed when EA done goofed and released it same time as BF1 and Infinite Warfare.

 

[jabberwocker]

Well EA it was kind of your fault releasing it a week later after BF1 and COD.

I wish I could play this but I dont have an xbox one just a ps4.

 

[Lime]

I wouldn't mind if they improve the narrative for the next one. The campaign was great but its storytelling and dialogue dragged the experience down for me.

 

[Thoraxes]

Sounds good, but i'm not sure I want to buy this underpowered franchise though.

 

[Guess Who]

At least they sound like they're committed to the series, and seem to recognize that Titanfall 2's poor sales aren't because people thought it sucked. They'll almost certainly be smarter about how they market and release the next game.

 

[Schlorgan]

I wish I could play this but I dont have an xbox one just a ps4.

It came out on PS4 too...

 

[Malio]

They are 'deeply committed'. Until they aren't.

Which could be any time.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I am starting to get back into this. How's the PC scene for this game?

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Titanfall 2 is really fun, but I can't help but feel like it ended up like the first one, it just got there in a very different way. I'm still waiting for Titanfall to break out of it's shell...maybe the third one will be something special (I'm striclty speaking in terms of multiplayer, campaign was exactly what it needed to be).

To be more frank, I don't think EA's shitty release window is the only reason sales fell under expectations, although it is a contributor no doubt.

 

[kewlmyc]

I hope so. Maybe not release it the week between the two biggest shooters of the year.

 

[Septic360]

I played the first level and found it to be pretty pedestrian "shoot the dudes in the rocky place" guff, put it down weeks ago and never really felt the desire to go back.

Oh gosh no......

 

[zewone]

Take some blame on TF2's sales, EA.

 

[GinoFelino]

It seems you didn't like the game...?

Really like it, but I don't care if Respawns next game is a new IP or another Titanfall.

 

[robotrock]

Really like it, but I don't care if Respawns next game is a new IP or another Titanfall.

They're making a Star Wars game as well.

 

[HariKari]

I like to quit games at the menu sometimes. Won't even give them five minutes.
