No one said it is...
Are there people excited for it or not?
Some people are excited, but others not?
What's the appropriate level of excitement?
Who are those people? Why are graphics such a fundamental critique? I can think of several high profile games that are very pretty, but have very little substance behind that facade.
Honestly, the only game people should be excited about is Star Citizen. Every other answer is wrong.
Even if it is, does that mean no one should want to play it? This whole thread is full of "I don't like it so no one else should like it either." It's ok not to like something but is it that hard to see why others would want to play something like this?
If you have played Titanfall you know that it's basically Hawken with COD mixed in. Should be a good game, and plenty of people who enjoy FPS's, like me, will be there day one.
As for the amount of hype it gets, maybe it's the marketing or that the Respawn guys making it.

Well at least you embrace your bias. Better than hiding like most.
I agree. Especially the part about Brink.
Its being overhyped because it's exclusive. If it were multiplat, people would be sh*tting on this game and saying it should be $30 on XBL/PSN since it's multiplayer only. Let's be honest... it's really the only reason to own a XB1 over a PS4 right now
please don't ban me
No Campaign, No Co op, and we don't even know how many maps will be in the game.
Since it's multiplayer only, all it will take is a couple things to completely break it and make it unplayable. I remember Commando, One Man Army, and Noob Tubes in Zampella's last game, MW2. Great game that became almost unplayable due to the noob tubing and unbalanced perks.
With that said.... Titanfall does look fun and I will buy it, since I buy COD every year. There just isn't anything special about it IMO. The graphics barely even look next-gen. It looks like a 360 game, so I'll just get it on 360.

dont think its a COD clone but inspired by COD with improvements (but thats BF). Ok with additional mechanics (sure thats fun). But how is it hyped as the best game and people screaming to bring it to other platforms. I will gladly be happy to be proven wrong come march though

It seemed like Bulletstorm was the FPS that actually shook things up, but no one cared about it. Why? Besides marketing.
holy shit. someone make that game.

Im kinda in the same boat and dont see all the hype.
Its like people are "looking" for something to hype up on X1 and i just dont see it.
I own PS4 and X1 and Titanfall isnt somethign that got me to buy the console oddly.
Prolly gonna buy it to see what its all about and try somethign fresh but its hardly a omg game to me

If everyone on GAF decoded to make a thread every time they had an opinion.......
I don't have and XBone and won't purchase one, but I certainly recognize this is the future of FPS games. I'll have it on PC. The break neck speed, flying to get into combat vs. just flying around looking for something to happen is HUGE. The use of tower offense. This game just looks like it's going to give you all kinds of reasons to do something other than just shooting directly in front of you.

I think it had a poor showing tonight, but from most of the previous footage, it looks like a fun game.

I'm excited for new games with giant robots
What am I doing it wrong?

Who has said that ?
ProTip for Titanfall FUD Spreaders: This is so blatantly and obviously false that it just makes you look silly. New schtick, please.

Sigh. A FPS comes out actually encouraging the player to be creative in kills and the game bombs in the end.
GAF is a blog now, you missed the announcement.

I would be interested in at least giving it a try but it's mp only so I'll never buy it.

I think it looks pretty cool, aside from being a competitive MP only game.
Really interesting. thanks for the link
Not everything has to be like COD just because its an FPS. I don't think you understand how genres work. Halo and COD used to be nothing alike but both are great games.

But for a lot of people TitanFall IS something to be excited about. I loved CoD4 and MW2 and getting another FPS by the makers of those games has me excited. I am also excited for the fact that they are ditching the single player part of the game and focusing on multi-player a trend that I hope more FPS makers will follow (with exceptions like Borderlands, Fallout, Bioshock ect). Call me low brow or something but TitanFall looks fun as hell, and I cant wait to get it on my PC

Why does this game have some weird negative force against it from a select number of folks? I havent seen anything like it. Game looks rad as fuck and looks to be the next big franchise in multiplayer shooters. Regardless of platform, good games are good games.

If Titanfall was part of the CoD franchise it'd be getting vitriol.
I saw the thread title and came in expecting to see someone describing a game they have played but no, we just have someone voicing their opinion as some kind of fact without having a clue what they are talking about.
I don't get why these kind of 'opinion' threads aren't banned anyway, especially if the op hasn't even played the said game.

The robots, the walking/running on walls/traversal.
New things from CoD's formula. It looks interesting.
I agree that it isn't looking "ZOMG AMAZING HAVE YOU SEEN TITANFALL?!" but it looks worth checking out when the price drops.

I really wanted to try out Starhawk, unfortunately they decided to be stupid and put in an online pass, they lost themselves a possible sale.

I think it looks pretty good but it's the oddest "next best thing" game I've seen. It's going to be huge because the industry has said it so. And once that train gets rolling there's nothing stopping it. Too much money and it's too big to fail. The odd thing with this one versus all other games that had hype leading up to it, this one seems more driven by the media and publishers more then the out pouring of the fanbase loosing their shit with every piece of media shown and the media feeding this craze. Like MGS2, or OOT, etc.
Still looks to be a fun but unbalanced game.

Modes.
Without more modes beyond different variations of team-based competitive matches, I don't have much interest in the game. MP-only is a tough line to walk.
