Ninemsn: It's especially fitting that Titanfall is arguably the most anticipated game on the Gamescom 2013 showroom floor, because the show itself is crazy, just like the game. Titanfall is a chaotic execution of satisfying online gunplay, bringing with it a monstrous experience equivalent to the chaos infecting the Gamescom halls in Cologne, Germany.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.
This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.
I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.
Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
One of the best previews i have read. Thanks for the read.
I'm glad it's coming to PC, will definitely check out.
So much excitement and anticipation for this game. It is more than warranted as the gameplay looked like a sci-fi dream come true.
Can't wait to run along side a mech takin down enemies in a hail of glory!
MS definitely hit the game nail on the head picking this one up.
Edit:
*looks below*
I love me some salty sony fanboy tears.
While it don't look innovative it does look very smooth and good.
I can see it being super popular for awhile but quickly overshadowed upon any other big shooter like cod,halo,battlefield
I wouldn't get an x1 just for titans fall but it looks good.
But I still got tons of other stuff that will keep me occupied.
Yep when i have played all the awesome ps4 games titanfall will appear, as respawn say they want to hit all platforms, but until titanfall, ill have bf3, gt6,driveclub,the order,deep down, assassins creed,destiny,beyond two souls, infamous second son, the division(sony and ubi/bungie joined up),then maybe titanfall if ive played all them lol some sweet games, infamous looks epicness.
