From Mecha Damashii:
In the same interview Vince Zampella continues saying:
http://www.mechadamashii.com/news/news-titanfalls-mecha-arent-mecha-apparently/In a recent interview with Game Informer, Respawns Vince Zampella said something disappointing and worrying in equal measure regarding the mecha in Titanfall.
The main quote being Mech is kind of a dirty word with us, we dont like it. These arent mechs (screenshot above). Despite the very obvious and widely acknowledged aspects that define the games Titans as mecha, it seems that this is another attempt by a game studio to re-brand mecha as something else and new (though with Hawken, Adhesive to their credit did change their tune). This is likely intended as a means to distance the game from any form of Japanese inspiration. Doing the typical American thing of making out that this was some kind of immaculate creative conception, which in itself is still worthy of copious eye rolling.
In the same interview Vince Zampella continues saying:
"These things aren't mechs.They are something totally new and different.The Titans are really an extension of the player.They are bigger,they are heavily armored,and they give you kind of a second life but they are agile,fun,and fast.They can dodge.It's not a feeling of something slow and lumbering.It really is an extension of you.You lose a little bit of agility because you can't jump,but on the ground these thingsare super agile tanks."
