Titan Fall, Why It Could Dethrone Most Of Today's Top Shooters

Titan Fall is the Xbox One exclusive that's set to take the top position as best first person shooter, but what is it that makes Titan Fall such a good looking game long before it's even out?

Before all the Sony fanboys get here I'll save them a job. It's not Xbox One exclusive, it's on the Xbox 360 and PC as well.

JokesOnYou3871d ago

"Everything about Titan Fall screams a shooter overhaul. The gun mechanics have been perfected to make for pinpoint accuracy, and even things like reload animations look amazing"

-Agreed this game is going to light up the XBL servers, everyone I know who's getting an X1 are talking about this game...sure does have that old COD hype to me.

Eonjay3871d ago

As great as it looks its not going to beat COD as a Xbox/PC exclusive. EA already knows this. Even worse is the fact that PS4 will probably have a larger install base when TF launches. Unfortunately, EA is looking to be a victim of its own hype. By making the game an exclusive to Xbox, its never gonna be able to reach it true potential and will inevitable fall short of COD status.

Bigpappy3872d ago

The reaction to this reminds me of the first Halo. This game is blowing people away just but the gameplay options.

ritsuka6663871d ago

Am I the only one who wasn't impressed by this game?

PSVita3871d ago

Not I'm right there with you. No SP really? And it's still $60, that's crazy... The gameplay looks cool but its not up there with all the hype it's getting. After all it's just another COD like shooter with mechs. Star hawk was way more interesting in terms of mechs and being able to change the battlefield structure made every game a little different. Nothing against this game but i just don't see why this and Ryse are being held up on a pedestal like it is.

I think this is another case of "well it's all we got" happening.

n4rc3871d ago

So can you explain why killzone deserves all its hype?

I already know the answer, but I want to hear your argument.

Hicken3871d ago

@n4rc: Are you saying that Titanfall's worthiness of hype is dependent upon whether or not Killzone deserves its hype?

If that's NOT what you're saying- and we both know it's not- then your question is irrelevant.

n4rc3870d ago

Its completely relevant..

He wants to bash Xbox games saying they don't deserve the hype... But yet it seems perfectly acceptable to praise killzone or any other ps4 title.. And you sure as hell can't think they are anything less then perfect.

Its fanboy bullish!t. You know it and I know it..

PSVita3870d ago (Edited 3870d ago )

Calm down there n4rc it's just video games lol

I have never said KZ was worthy of it hype. In fact I didn't even like the SP in KZ3 it had extremely long wait times and it was flat out boring. The multiplayer was fun but it was very rocky and unbalanced. So where in the world did you pull that from buddy?

But KZ is an established game with many fans while TF is unproven and we've only seen bits and pieces of what it's about and how it plays. Plus the no SP is just terrible. If they put all their time into just a multiplayer game then I hope it more than just COD with mechs but that remains to be seen.

I'm defiantly not a "fanboy" and ill call it as it is for both systems. I'm not just going to like or dislike a game because it an exclusive that childish.

Oh and Ryse does nothing for me but we'll see how it is after launch.

Hicken3870d ago

You see, it's irrelevant because you assume the people who take the stance that the PS4's games are worthy are automatically the same people who think XB1 games are underwhelming. You assume anyone who likes the PS4 and its games more see no faults with it or its software.

Which pretty much just means you're seeing what you want to see.

And THAT is the true hallmark of a fanboy: seeing whatever suits your argument, and ignoring all else.

Titanfall looks like it could be hella fun. I've said so since the first trailer I ever saw. But it really doesn't look anything special. Doesn't look better than Killzone. Isn't doing anything any other games haven't done.

It just... looks damn fun.

Is there something fanboyish about that?

According to you, yes. I'm a Sony fanboy because I think Killzone looks better- and is more deserving of its hype, based on my experience with the franchise- even though I think Titanfall still looks like a crapton of fun.

Go figure.

n4rc3869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

Fair enough..

But in keeping with fair..
I have yet to see you have anything to say that wasn't complete praise for ps4 and extremely critical of Xbox..

Having preferences is all well and good... But having said that... I prefer titanfall over killzone but I'm not heading to those articles to say that.. That's why I said what I did

Hicken3869d ago

If you're "keeping with fair," then you have to actually be LOOKING. I'll wager you haven't been doing that, so you haven't seen what you weren't looking for.

I'm not digging through my comment history, but the statements are there. I haven't "completely praised" every aspect of the PS4. I'm still on the fence about how much I'll like the touchpad on the DS4, and I still don't like the idea of having to pay to play online.

That said, bringing up Killzone.. PSVita didn't do that. Only you did. He brought up Starhawk, which is relevant given the use of mechs and how they could change the tide of battle. Hell, in that respect, Killzone would have been relevant there, too. But PSVita didn't even use that as the basis of his preference. He didn't say he disliked the game at all.

Actually, it's a pretty reasonable comment, overall.

So... what IS your problem with it?

1st of all its online only. There's no chance it has to dethrone d likes of BF or C0D

byeGollum3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

yeah it's impossible because BF and COD both have amazing, and unique single player campaigns that people still play till today. ehehehe.

WeAreLegion3871d ago

It will be an amazing title! It could very well dethrone COD/Battlefield, but I don't really care. I'm all about the single-player. This team, while they were at Infinity Ward, created some of the best campaigns in the industry. It upsets me that they're going multi-player only. :/

dethpuck3870d ago

They have multiplayer campaign chill.

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.
