Will TitanFall Be The Call Of Duty Killer?

Mark of Corrupted Cartridge writes "This is a topic that has caught my eye recently. I've noticed a few videos on Youtube asking if the new game to be released on the Xbox One called TitanFall could be a Call Of Duty Killer.

Personally I've lost a lot of interest in the Call Of Duty games recently and I only really bought Black Ops 2 for the zombies and the campaign. To me each game is a repetition of the last with a couple of small changes to the gameplay and some new game modes."

Isn't it Titanfal a COD with mesh and without SP mode?

Enemy3873d ago

Same graphics, same dull art direction, that outdated engine, no solo campaign, possible on 360.

Next gen FPS right there.

Kevlar0093873d ago

After playing it at PAX I'd say so. It certainly plays like CoD, but with mechs and more freedom of movement

It's multiplayer only, a fun military shooter that knows its audience. However we've seen what happens when games try to imitate and surpass CoD. The game does have enough hype and praise to give it a chance, however the CoD brand is just so powerful it lives off name alone

You guys are so cool. Making fun of Titanfall! I wish I could be like you guys..

gaffyh3873d ago

It won't sell anywhere near as much as COD, but it will sell very well nonetheless. I'd guess at least 5 mil lifetime, up to 8 mil. Most sales on 360.

/pach hat.

if its an xbone/pc exclusive then definitely not

OrangePowerz3873d ago

It comes at launch also to 360.

mewhy323873d ago

This game is also coming to 360. But I'll be playing it on my gaming PC.

Dan_scruggs3873d ago

When are people gonna learn that there is no Call of Duty killer. COD got where it is through almost a decade of yearly releases. By steadily building up its fanbase to the insane numbers it currently has. Call of Duty is in a class of its own like WOW and GTA. It may not the best or the most original but its absolutely the biggest and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Nothing is "killing" off COD, but After this year, COD will sell less & less until they switch up the formula.

Everything we've ever wanted COD to be or evolve into is found within Killzone, Battlefield & TitanFall

SuperLupe3873d ago

Quality wise yes. Sales wise no (for the moment)

PlayStation_43873d ago

Only when it's available on PS4 will it have the potential to take down Call of Duty, whether that be Titanfall 2, or Titanfall 1 in 2015.

Eddie201013873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Looks really good and fun to play. Will it be the best game in 2014 probably not, will it sell well probably but theres no way of telling til it comes out. Will it be available for PS4 eventually, my guess is yes.

Wizziokid3874d ago

in terms of sales no, but that's only because for the time being it's limited to Xbox and PC.

user74029313873d ago

why don't people say battlefield killer? why is it cod? if its teh sales you guys refer to then wii fit bust be a battlefield and cod killer. smfh.

MrSwankSinatra3873d ago

Because Battlefield is owned by EA and which also owns titanfall. Get the picture?

user74029313873d ago

ea vs activsion huh, i could not give less of a goddamn about them.

PlayStation_43873d ago

CoD and Titanfall are aiming for the same kind of people, and both have similarly fast paced shooting mechanics.

Mikelarry3873d ago

when it is available on all platforms.... maybe

Tony-A3873d ago

I can see it doing okay when it's out for 360, PC and XBO, and doing better when it comes out for PS4 and probably PS3, but - in terms of sales - it's not going to crush COD.

... Funny how the gaming media skews things. When it's negative news about the details of the XBO, we're just a minority amongst a small group of dedicated gamers. But when it's hype about a game talked about by a group of journalists within dedicated gaming events, the masses are sure to talk about it when it comes out!

GiantEnemyCrab3873d ago

From what I played that is a YES.

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.
