Titanfall Is Friendly, Complex, Thrilling And Borrows Wisely Not From FPS's | Polygon

Titanfall does some of its smartest idea borrowing from other competitive games, games like Dota and League of Legends, fighting games and even collectible card game Magic the Gathering. Game director Steve Fukuda describes Titanfall as a game inspired by martial arts, saying its battles can play out like choreographed fights, full of emerging tactics.

of course Polygon would hype up an X1 game...

JokesOnYou3718d ago (Edited 3718d ago )

lol, you mean like almost all of the previews?

In Summary:
"Pairing those emerging moment-to-moment tactics with Titanfall's many unlockables, its diverse options for players to kill and the interplay of Pilots and titans make Respawn's next-gen debut the most exciting shooter in years."

-Polygon can now just join a long list of sites that are on micro payroll when they speak positively about xbox/negative about ps but remember you can trust a fanboy site like cinemablend/W. Usher. lol ps diehards are really bitter about Titanfall I see.

Edit vvvvv TheRatedD, let's assume what you say is a fact; Does it matter at the end of the day if the game is STILL THE MOST EXCITING SHOOTER IN YEARS"?= *note I didn't say Titanfall is for a fact, but the question is would it matter if it's flawed and yet remains a very exciting game?... because that's what great games do, by design they STILL EXCEL despite flaws. Now if you say the AI bot system ruins the game altogether then OK don't play Titanfall.

DeadAccount693718d ago

I wish more people would realize how bad the AI bot system is. You can just run up to melee them and they won't shoot you.

thereapersson3718d ago

Didn't Respawn say they made the bots kind of dumb on purpose to make it more thrilling for players when they manage to rack up a bunch of awesome kills on the bots?

Corpser3718d ago

Yeah Look at the high scores they gave Dead Rising 3 and Ryse, no wait...

mhunterjr3718d ago

Nearly EVERYONE who's played it really enjoyed it. I don't think it's a good time to play the bias card...

@TheRatedD

Look dude we get it. You wont be playing it because it doesn't release on PS4.

I was actually expecting the Sony fanboys to be cured of their insecurity after the PS4's popularity but it appears to have only gotten worse.

OT: Previews seem good but hopefully I'll get a beta code to find out for myself :)

Funny how people praise this game like it is some kind of messiah of the fps genre, yet it looks like a game that can get stale pretty fast mainly due to bot hunting.

:)

RAGE913718d ago

I own an X1 and even I can say, it looks......meh!

MK24ever3718d ago

Polygon....
Please don't give these bastards clicks, it's a website that needs to go away if we want this industry to have any credibility.

christocolus3718d ago (Edited 3718d ago )

98% of the previews have been really positive. Respawn, MS and EA must be very happy about this.

LOGICWINS3718d ago

I just watched the Sessler/Philly D previews. If all this hype is "fake", then MS must be giving all these people unlimited beer and chicken wings or something lol. For whatever reason, it seems like people are praying for this game not to succeed.

Slevon3718d ago

This is just a much news coming from polygon as it is seeing an article where playstation is hyped by neogaf

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.

MadLad587d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g587d ago (Edited 587d 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.

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.

Ethereal866d 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.
