Titanfall Could Be A Game Changer

Forbes - Respawn’s next-gen shooter looks incredible. I have yet to get hands-on time with Respawn Entertainment’s upcoming shooter Titanfall. But it’s the first competitive first-person shooter that I’ve been excited to play in a long time, and one of the few games being demoed at recent conventions that makes me actually wish I’d attended (along with Dark Souls 2!)

Too bad they don't own it.

CRAIG6673883d ago

@TrueNinja, have you heard of HALO,GEARS OF WAR,FORZA,DEAD RISING,KILLER INSTINCT...I could go on, Titanfall is far from the ONLY game on X1, grow up dude!

"HALO,GEARS OF WAR,FORZA,DEAD RISING,KILLER INSTINCT...I could go on"

LOL actually you stated every Xbox major franchise, and no, you couldn't go on. Btw you only have Ryse and Fable left.

I could g ON and ON if I stated Ps franchises. But I don't want to.

I'll do it :

Gran Turismo
God of War
Uncharted
Little Big Planet
Killzone
Ratchet and Clank
Resistance
Sly Raccoon
Infamous

The End.(These are franchises, games that have more than one game,currently on Ps3, I could write the "one hit wonders" but there too many.)

gamertk4213883d ago

@pedro. Yes, but they wouldn't be any good after the first 3 or so.

Manic20143883d ago

@Pedro

True that WAS Xbox major franchises but if you have seen E3 they are expanding the franchises even though it is very late in the process. Let me finish the list.....

Halo
Gears of Wars
Forza
Alan Wake
Fable
Ryse
Killer Instinct
Quantum Break
Sunset Overdrive
Dead Rising
Project Spark
D4
Crimson Dragon

So be it some of these are forthcoming titles and franchises but the good thing is they are expanding the exclusives on the system which MS should of done n the first place for the 360.

Though i 100% can agree that Sony have had Consistent support for exclusives which i think MS will be doing this for the X1.

True_Samurai3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

Damn right :-) and even if it goes to ps4 they can enjoy the left overs

@Smoovekid
Google Respawn saying that the pc version is only playable on windows 7 and up

insomnium23883d ago

Everything really does hinge on one game for the xfans. That's like honestly the most pathetic thing I've come across in a long time.
The minute they get even one good game their ego balloons like a mf. Do I have to remind you guys what's been going on in all these years after Kinect was first revealed?

I'm at a loss for words here really. I mean how stupid and transparent can you get?

CGI-Quality3883d ago

Leftovers? If it is the exact same game, it would mean they got the exact same meal. Pretty flawed thinking, if I do say so myself. Then again, the irony of the statement confirms the desperation of the first poster here, since he couldn't say "only on Xbox ONE", but "only on MS". As a PC gamer, if I don't have to get an X1 for Titanfall, that doesn't help its case.

OT: I agree that this game may play a pivotal role in the 8th gen.

jukins3883d ago

except when it does come to ps4 it will come with all the dlc x1 players had to pay for, for free.

Godlovesgamers3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

Actually that's not been verified and it would seem that it's a timed exclusive.

In regards to the title.... a game changer? That's yet to be seen. It looks cool but when you boil it down, let's be honest it's a modified MW2 with Mechs and no single player campaign. I think if they retail the game at $60 it will be a tough sell especially considering the $100 more that you'll pay for the DLC at the end of the day.

That said, if they that had a sweet single player campaign with an awesome story (and from what I've seen this game has awesome potential for a great story to be told), I'd be on board with this day one.

GarrusVakarian3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

Until it comes to PS4. Which it probably will after a certain amount of time.

Golden_Mud3883d ago

After all these awards , I doubt Microsoft will let that happen , they'll purchase the franchise

scott1823883d ago

It does look cool and different. Not a game changer for me personally, I wont be picking it up, but I can honestly see why it's popular with a lot of people. I am into the more standard run and gunner games, love me some call of duty and battlefield, looking forward most of all to killzone. But like I said I can see why people would be very interested in this game.

Johnsonparts233882d ago

Gotta love the xbone trolls that try to associate Windows with Xbox. LOL! I'll be playin this on my PC then switching over the my PS4 everyday! Xbox ain't got $hit!

ichdich3883d ago

yes it will be. looks amazing.

DinoNYC3883d ago

Overrated. Not a gamer changer by any means and unoriginal.

GarrusVakarian3883d ago

Jetpacks with parkour and mechs?

I'd day that's pretty original.

Hicken3883d ago

Not really. Killzone's done the mechs and jetpacks thing, and Brink did parkour(not so great a package, though). Didn't really combine them in an original fashion. Just combined them.

Don't get me wrong. I still think the game looks fun. But there aren't really any original aspects to it.

FlunkinMonkey3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

Killzone 3 had mechs and jetpacks and had better graphics i might add. what is making this game fun is the parkour element which is hardly original.

Fun for sure, a game changer? please.. This doesn't even have a SP.

@Hicken

Damn you, damn you to Hell! (for getting their first).

@Tariq

Well.. This is awkward.. ha

ABeastNamedTariq3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

Jetpacks and mechs aren't really original. Sheesh, both of those were in KZ3. Parkour isn't either.

OT: However, the combination of all three, combined with the speed and verticality of the maps, does look very fun.

EDIT: Damn you both above, lol. You beat me too it as well.

Bolts3883d ago

Yeah. Killzone had jet packs. But then again so did Tribes and that was ages ago, but none of them are cool and fluid as Titan Fall.

And as far as game changers goes this is poised to be MS next Gears of Wars in terms of break out hit. Sad to say but Killzone online gameplay is shit compared to this, the vids that were shown were the same generic boring garbage that caused Killzone fans to abandon Killzone 3 in droves.

dark-hollow3883d ago

It's not about who had what first, it is all about how smoothly and seamlessly you introduce these mechanics to your game.

Cover based third person shooters aren't a new thing with gears of war for an example, but dank sure they implement it better than anybody before them.

-Foxtrot3883d ago

I agree I don't see the big hype for it, it's just a standard FPS with a few tiny new things thrown in their which we've seen in other games (wallrunning - BRINK...Jetpacks - Halo...Mechs - Lost Planet/Earth Defensae Force etc)

I mean when I heard Respawn was working on this new FPS I expected something different...something with a single player at least. Not a FPS which looks like what the next COD after MW should of been.

LogicStomper3883d ago

I'm curious here, what do you define to be a 'standard' shooter?

pandehz3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

It depends

Many many games have tried these things, bits and pieces from so many games.

Some games even 10yrs+ ago.

In the end its about the execution of these elements to make a coherent and fun game. Titanfall looks like its nailing it in that department.

It just might become the game changer but again maybe not.

Bigpappy3883d ago

Well said.
This game is in very capable hands and this game is the only game that has blown away all the journalist who have played it so far.

I am not going to say it is a game changer, just yet, but I am going to say it is the most impressive hands-on demo so far. Because that is the truth.

GarrusVakarian3883d ago

I wouldn't go so far as game changer but it does look really fun.

SCW19823883d ago

As good as this game is it is still just a multiplayer experience which means when it comes to story and narrative I won't be so hurt if I don't play it. But who am I kidding it will come to the Sony side eventually otherwise they would have already said its exclusive to Xbox. Respawn is being very hush hush about other platforms for right now for a reason.

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.

MadLad588d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g588d ago (Edited 588d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

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."

Respawn Entertainment is Discontinuing Sales of Original Titanfall

Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

Ethereal869d ago

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.

littletad868d ago

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.

Ethereal867d ago

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.
