Maybe EA returned the moneyhat to MS?

E3 will be fun.

 

[Lakitu]

Another Twitter insider. How do I become one of them?

 

[Duxxy3]

Unless there is some clause pertaining to low sales, I don't see it happening.

 

[curb]

I don't see how that's possible given that whole "permanent exclusivity" thing. Unless there was a clause about number of units sold within a certain period of time but that seems unlikely. I feel like Tidux' time as an "insider" will be over with this one.

 

[Elixist]

the comments section is fun

 

[Zeppeli]

It's more than likely just Respawn testing their modified Source engine on the hardware to get ready for the next game in the franchise.

 

[Mysterious]

Didn't Tidux get the 1.70 update rumor he was spreading here wrong?

 

[KeRaSh]

Oh boy... I guess the sales didn't meet expectations and someone found a loophole in the contract...
If this turns out to be true... Gosh, I don't even know!

 

[LTWheels]

Well once upon a time we were all told Mass Effect would never come to the Playstation and it did, so who knows.

That's slightly different as Bioware got purchased by another publisher.

That throws a whole different spanner into the works.

 

[Spongebob]

I doubt it, but maybe there is a clause in the contract (between EA and MS) which requires there to be a minimum number of unit sales to maintain exclusivity.

 

[mattp]

lemme guess, tidux's uncle works at sony?

 

[B.O.O.M]

nah I seriously doubt it. MS signed the deal didn't they? Unless there's some clause in it that lets EA some wiggle room (which I doubt) ..this is most probably bs

that said the sequel will most definitely come to ps4 I think. They would be stupid not to

 

[Andrew.]

Tales From My Ass Vol. III?

 

[Zee-Row]

I thought MS helped develop Titanfall and not just send EA and Respawn money?

 

[Acquiescence]

The inevitable sequel sure. The first game? Not happening.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Director's Cut Dual Shock edition?

 

[Paganmoon]

A millions sales was pretty low, but doesn't MS have the 1st game locked up tight?

a milion in the US is Close to 1:2 attach-ratio. Not too shabby tbh.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Of course its coming to ps4. EA likes money.

 

[Harlequin]

I don't think a site that spells screengrab with a p is a very professional one .

 

[Majmun]

I thought MS helped develop Titanfall and not just send EA and Respawn money?

I think it was just a marketing agreement.

 

[VanWinkle]

Doubtful. He has never really proven himself to me. His stuff about firmware 1.7 was either flat out wrong or stuff that could have easily been predicted by anybody.

 

[Gorillaz]

sequel yes but not the first one

move along people


edit: unless there is some sort of clause that if the sales don't reach a certain point in some many days then I can see it.....I don't believe there is one tho

 

[B.O.O.M]

I thought MS helped develop Titanfall and not just send EA and Respawn money?

They did? Well this is news to me..where did you hear/see this?

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Create a twitter account. Write some stuff that turns out to be true.

[krypt0nian]

Tidux has been a fountain of twitter nonsense. I honestly believe he's just an attention whore.

 

[WhupTroy]

My Grandma leaks too. I don't believe everything she says though...

 

[Cirekiller]

All signs point to no, as it's been made pretty clear that MS has locked up exclusivity for at least Titanfall 1. With the sales figures not benefiting them too much, I can't imagine them coughing up the change to keep it so though.

 

[Caayn]

Didn't Tidux get the 1.70 update rumor he was spreading here wrong?

He saw some features up and running internally and assumed that it would be included in the 1.70 firmware. Which it didn't.

 

[dab0ne]

I think the Last Guardian reveal rumor at sonys e3 presser is more likely and I'm betting that won't happen.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I love the "Oh I just heard this too" tweet from a special someone.

 

[Wurdfurd]

I don't buy it. Hasn't Respawn already said it wont come to PS4.

Are XB1/360 sales poor? Only reason I can think that EA would be in panic mode.

 

[evolution]

I hate the month before e3, all these rumors

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I wonder if there might have been a minimum sales threshold in that exclusivity contract? Could it be possible they didn't hit it, and MS execs were speaking like they did in the run up to release because they were so confident they would meet it?

 

[nynt9]

I wonder if they'll pull something like this to bypass the contract

Or maybe the EA contract has a clause saying "Titanfall needs to sell at least 1.5m copies on Xbox One otherwise the exclusivity is over"

 

[Four_Chamber]

a milion in the US is Close to 1:2 attach-ratio. Not too shabby tbh.

That's the new meme here- million sales in a month is suddenly weak I guess

On-topic, this ain't happening. Wonderful that they cited the wonderful and classy famousmortimer too in the article.

 

[Pound_lb003]

Maybe EA returned the moneyhat to MS?

E3 will be fun.

I guess if the contract break is worth the kind of return they think they'd make on PS4, it's.... Very vaguely possible.

EDIT: By which I mean, it's still a kidan ridiculous suggestion.

 

[michaelius]

TitanFall: The Spinoff

Titanfall Sigma

 

[Jinfash]

What if there was a sale threshold clause between MS and EA that wasn't met?

 

[Paganmoon]

Well once upon a time we were all told Mass Effect would never come to the Playstation and it did, so who knows.

Not considering Bioware got bought by EA, how many years did that take?

 

[GardenSirens]

I believe Titanfall 2 would come to PS4. We'll see.

 

[LTWood12]

It's entirely possible that the lifetime exclusivity part of the contract with Microsoft was conditional on a certain number of sales within a given time period. If the sales didn't meet the threshold, then the game goes multi-platform.

 

[dark_prinny]

I wish.

 

[djblackice]

Doubtful.

 

[FoneBone]

Don't buy it when EA and Microsoft were both pretty adamant about this *not* being a timed exclusive.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Titanfall: Xbox One Edition is exclusive to the Xbox One.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

I don't believe it. EA and Micro have officially stated that they have done an exclusive deal on the FIRST Titanfall. Nothing is gonna change this. I think Tidux is trolling because of mortimer

mass effect says hi

 

[TheRealTalker]

I'm just posting before it gets locked

Spoiler

seeing as its a twitter post

 

[Suzushiiro]

If a PS4 build exists, it's most likely for purposes of TF2 development (which is probably in its very early stages right now,) not a TF1 port.

Though it would be pretty hilarious to see EA weasel out of the exclusivity contract somehow and get TF1 on PS4 this holiday season.

 

[Amir0x]

Who is Tidux? Also, um, I thought they had a specific deal... so is this Titanfall: Ultimate edition technicality type thing?
