EA sure to love to set themselves up for a fall of titanic proportions.

Titanfall 2 in a few years, best case scenario.When will a Titanfall come to the PS3/4?
Naa EA will probably push bf every year with alternating other two franchisesWay better Shooter annualization strategy than COD.
Battlefield
Titanfall
Battlefront
is a sick rotation.
What if it's bad though?
Titanfall 2 in a few years, best case scenario.
Will wait for Titanfall 2: Electric Boogaloo
I wish Microsoft would be able the buy respawn and titanfall because I don't trust ea at all.
No "Game of the Year Edition" or anything like that possible?
Gamers that only game on consoles tend to have a certain kind of tunnel vision, I've found. The idea of having a PC to game on kinda escapes their purview.
they might, but Destiny looks like the coolest one of all. We'll see.

Unless Activision surprises me this year I am not optimistic for their current franchises.Was this in jest? I think the top row will slam the bottom one sales wise.
Welp, you better know what this means:
1. Ideas and implementations that were originally supposed to be in Titanfall have now been scrapped and waiting for Titanfall 2 (also, it goes without saying that many things that were originally in Titanfall have been scrapped and are waiting to be put in as DLC)
2. Titanfall 2 is already being worked on, should come out one year after Titanfall

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/29/titanfall-an-xbox-one-360-pc-exclusive-for-its-lifetimeDuring its quarterly earnings call today, EA squashed recent rumors about Titanfall coming to PlayStation 4. CFO Blake Jorgensen emphasized that Titanfall "is exclusive only for the lifetime of the title on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC."
Respawn owns the IP but EA has the publishing rights for the foreseeable future.Did I miss the part where EA owns Titanfall? I know EA has made some moves that Respawn wasn't fully aware of, but does this IP not still belong to Respawn? If it is wildly successful, would Respawn not be able to look for another pub? This seems to be a lot of bold talk with very little to back it up.
With that said, I hope the game is successful and that Respawn maintains all creagive control, including the frequency of release.

False. The deal is one game only. I assume this talk by EA is part of their pitch to Respawn. Vince Zampella seemed visibly annoyed when EA sold the exclusivity to Microsoft. The Adam Boyes of Ubisoft and 2k should schmoozing the shit out of them right about now.
That said, if they can get on the same page with EA I think they would rather not jump ship and have to meet hundreds of new people and figure out how they work. Familiarity is big.
Respawn is pleased to also announce that it has awarded Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS), through the distinguished EA Partners program, exclusive worldwide publishing and distribution rights to future games. Terms were not disclosed. West and Zampella are represented by Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
If that's true then I hope Respawn shops around next time even though I'm sure EA has the biggest dump truck of money.False. The deal is one game only.

Hmm that's what I thought too.

Seems like they should wait to see how well it sells before saying this.
Respawn to become the next Dice, for better and worse.

Wonder how long until Microsoft locks it down.
Exactly.Seems like they should wait to see how well it sells before saying this.
If Titanfall does gangbusters at retail will we really see Titanfall 2 on PS4? I mean, Zampella's assurances are all well and good that we will, but if Microsoft sees that it is moving Xbones and whips out the checkbook... as they say... "Money talks."
I'm not in their head but this is my read on the situation. Respawn is an independent studio and they value that independence above all else. Zampella and West are already ungodly amounts of rich from CoD. Respawn is a labor of love for them.
They wanted a small team so years ago decided to focus on making a next gen xbox and pc shooter. They sold the publishing rights to EA but own the IP. This also allowed EA the rights over other platforms. They hired bluepoint to do the 360 version, who was also going to do the ps4 version but EA decided to take the money from MS to keep it exclusive. Zampella wasn't pleased with this as evidenced on twitter but that was the contract he signed. Plus they are in crunch for launch anyway.
They aren't going to sell the IP. They want to be multiplatform, they just thought their first game with a small team should be more focused. EA has no control to sell anything else to MS. And yes, MS can offer some crazy amount of money but like I said above, they are already rich, and they will be making crazy money multiplat and in charge of themselves... which after Activision I think is very important to them.
