GameInformer: "Before Jason West and Vince Zampella broke off from Activision to form Respawn, the developers revitalized the Call of Duty franchise at Infinity Ward. They set a new standard for precise FPS controls that a host of other shooters mimic. Titanfall is a FPS, and given Respawn’s link to the Call of Duty franchise, comparing how they play is inevitable. Here’s how gunning down massive mechs and high-flying pilots in Titanfall compares to the on-foot gunfights of Call of Duty."
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.
they are.....(spoiler alert)......the same???
This a very exciting game, It will beat Halo in my opinion.
Too bad it won't come on Ps4 (apparently). :S
This game and Minecraft (I know they are both on PC) made me seriously thinking in getting a Xone back in e3.
The same but evolved...
taken from the article:
"Titanfall is not just Call of Duty with mechs. The games play similarly at their core, but the flow of battle, verticality, and story-expanding radio chatter coalesce into a fresh experience. My years of Call of Duty experience translated well into Titanfall, and the experience was made better by it. I can’t wait to invest even more time with the satisfying gameplay when Titanfall hits Xbox One and PC next year."
but certain people on N4G will read the title..stick the fingers in their ears and go "its cod with mechs la la la"..inspite of the fact that article CLEARLY details that there is a more to it than that..lol
this game is in a win win situation... it will have the CoD fanboys that wont support ANYTHING but a CoD game, and it will have the Battlefield fanboys that hate EVERYTHING about COD, but will buy ANYTHING from EA... i say Titanfall will win big next year...
Im very much looking forward to playing this game.
Played a lot of UT,Quake,CS,TF,BF,COD but this looks and feels fresh. A combo of sorts.
