Only First Titanfall Title to Be Xbox/PC Exclusive, Respawn Will Work on PS4, Zampella Confirms

The news that Titanfall will be an Xbox One/Xbox 360/PC exclusive for the whole lifetime of the title surprised many, but for those that want to see the developer work on PS4 there’s still hope, as Co-Founder Vince Zampella just confirmed, also mentioning that the developer learned just recently that Titanfall exclusivity wasn't temporary.

[-Alpha]

So, pretty much confirms:

-Deal to make it exclusive forever was very recent
-Titanfall 2 coming to PS4... unless MS throws even more money

[Lalanana]

Too bad ps4 owners will never get to experience this game..such a shame.. if next titanfall is confirm for ps4 that's cool. only titanfall would have sold millions of consoles for MS already though. It'll be like what gta is to the ps3. but titanfall to the xbox one.

Millions of consoles.. like halo did for the xbox

The game comes to pc and xbox 360 but those are the lower end. Even the dev confirmed that

http://n4g.com/news/1287106...

[CGI-Quality]

It's a shame that people won't get to experience a game that A. you've yet to play and B. is also on other devices that they may have? OK.

OT: With deals like these, a TitanFall 2 may be the case now for PS4, but if it does well enough on MS devices, they may opt to stay exclusive with them.

[akhmenhawk17]

'millions of consoles'??
Give me some that green you're smoking.

[HebrewHammer]

I'm buying a PS4, not an Xbox One.

And yet, I'll still be able to play TitanFall.

How? ON PC!

And guess what - it won't be 720p on PC lol

[-Alpha]

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[SuperLupe]

Every game that came out on the Xbox first did what it was intended to do: push the 360.

The time "insert game here" came to PS3 nobody cared and it had no impact whatsoever on the 360.

Same thing here. Titan Fall in this gens first system seller and MS will be getting the benefits.

Also, why is nobody begging for Planetside, Warframe and whatever PC/PS4 game and only ??

[Destrania]

Good thing I have a decent enough PC to run Titanfall in a higher resolution than 720p like on the Xbone, except for that fact that I don't want to. I'd rather not play a CoD clone with mechs, gave up on that franchise a long, long time ago. Too bad Xbots won't get to experience the legions of the most incredible games to ever release that are only on Playstation. Derp. I hate moronic and foolish people.

[gaffyh]

I wonder how much money they handed over for this, it must be in the region of GTA exclusive DLC, perhaps even more. Money down the drain if that is the case because its not fully exclusive so is not guaranteed to shift consoles, so they will make royalties on it, but that's not really the point early in a console life cycle.

[OrangePowerz]

You do know that the game comes to 360 and PC right?

[TheOtherVitaOwner]

Think I'll just get this for my pc, cheaper that way.

[B-radical]

For all the playstation fans saying they will get it on PC Microsoft still welcomes your money as do EA

Man I hate company greed

[LEOPARD1030]

Titanfall is amazing, but isn't the only FPS for the next year, PS4 has Destiny and the new of Santa Monica Studios.......

http://digital-art-gallery....

Titanfall in XO is only 720 and in PC 1080.

[Eonjay]

Its a little early to be comparing Titanfall to GTA... gotta crawl before you walk.

[GiggMan]

I think you need to at least have a look at the Xbox One version before you go to tooting your horn.

As far as we know it may not be that much of an improvement over the 360 version. Chances are I can play the same game on my 360 with the same resolution and gameplay (720p according to rumors) without having to spend $500 on an X1 and wait for Titan Fall 2 on PS4...

[Omegasyde]

3rd party exclusivity makes no sense in the beginning of a console launch.

Unless there is a @%#@%@ load of money involved. We all know MS has a big checkbook.

[PSjesus]

PC u ignorant every one have it,mass effect played it on PC with superior graphics when it was 360 only

[SIX]

My initial thought was that this is a good move by MS, but the more I think of it. The more I feel it won't be a big deal. Most new computers that sell for $500 will be able to run this game at 720p. Coupled this with the fact that the DS4 will work with all computers I'm thinking almost everyone will be able to enjoy this game regardless.

[G20WLY]

^SuperLupe, XBone's potential customers have 360s. There are 70+ million 360's out there, why would they spend $500 on another console to play a game they can play on their existing one?

A: They wouldn't.

Meanwhile, the real next gen Titanfall (the sequel, i.e. not cross-gen and so limited in mechanics and AI) will likely be on PS4 as well.

Also, why would XBoners beg for Planetside when it's Sony's game? As much chance of getting Uncharted lol

[Xsilver]

people talking about titanfall and im like who gives a crap walking dead season two was just announced.

[ZBlacktt]

Yeah, then like always. When Naughty Dog shows of Uncharted 4 on the PS4. It's game over set match. The console that wins Game of the year exclusives thus far is Sony.

[Rainstorm81]

@destraina
Didnt you know XBoxers think Xbox systems have the best/most exclusives..... ignorance is bliss I guess

@superlupe
Did u just compare Free to Play games to 60 $ retail game? Getting desperate

[Harkins1721]

I have a PS4 pre-ordered and ill be able to experience Titan fall....on my PC with a Dualshock 4. Bitchin!

[NeloAnjelo]

Too bad Xbone owners won't be able to experience Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Sony Bend, Guerilla... Should I go on?

That's the way the cookie crumbles.

[ProjectVulcan]

If the Xbox One version of Titanfall is better than the PC version on a half decent PC-

I'll eat my tin hat, white cat, black rat, fungus gnat, wombat, Gujurat, Anwar Sadat, David Platt and my Girlfriend's.....spaghetti .

Her spaghetti is awful.

[-Foxtrot]

You know what I find hilarious about this...remember Mass Effect, an Xbox exclusive at the time and after the sequel PS3 owners got the first one eventually.

So what's going to happen once Titan Fall 2 comes out...have a guess

It's pretty obvious EA cooked up this deal with MS before the Xbox Ones reveal. I bet they will kick themselfs if the PS4 ends up selling more units then the Xbox One.

[P0werVR]

Yes sir, and even if part 2 release on PS4 more sells on Xbox One anyways. Better played with Azure.

[jb227]

It's still a bit early to say that Titanfall will be such a huge hit and sell so many millions. The hardcore multiplayer contingent will be sure bets, and it will more than likely sell a lot of lifetime units, but look at other new ips. The original Mass Effect wasn't anywhere near as big as the other two that I know of, and that's a sure trend, new ips rarely ever put up the numbers of their sequels. Plus this game has no true single player component, so it's focus is even more narrow. Sure it's a big hit with the more hardcore players and the game journalist, but it has to get the casual crowd to put up those kinds of numbers, and at this point it doesn't have it. Say what you will about it being developed by the same creators of one of the biggest franchises ever, but casuals don't care about that, they care about military shooters and Titanfall is a bit different from that. Microsoft will more than likely market the living hell out of the game, and if they can get those casuals to play then it will be a big hit, but it won't be as big as it's inevitable sequel. I personally couldn't care less about the game, it looks fun for what it is, but I'm not a multiplayer gamer, without a single player component it's never really interested me in the least. Hopefully it turns out great for those that like that kind of thing though

[johndoe11211]

Rest of the world: "EA, you're sleeping with microsoft."

EA: "That's not true", turns around and kisses balmer good night.

Rest of the world:"EA, You're obviously favoring microsoft."

EA:"We're not favoring anyone, we deal with both companies equally", gives albert penello his lunch bag and hugs him goodbye as he gets on the bus.

Rest of the world: "EA, Then explain to us about the fifa free giveaway and the recent titanfall exclusivity that not even the developers knew about".

EA: "It has nothing to do with favoritism, we are working on deals with sony as we speak and will be forming great opportunities in the future", comment made while giving birth to theirs and balmers second child who they name Herb.

[XboxFun]

I just love the sony fanboy excuses...

"This game is crap"
All of a sudden the downplay of a game that has raving reviews is now crap and no one is excited about it. It went from; it will come to PS4 to who cares, that quick.

"I'll play it on PC"
Magically everyone has a gaming PC! They can't wait to play Warframe, Planetside 2, DCU for PS4, but strangely won't play them now for their high end PC's...how odd. Why is that?

"I'll wait for part 2"
Now the argument will be to wait three or four more years for the genre to become multiplat. Awesome.

In all seriousness, why are so many of you bitter about this news? Did you seriously not want it to be a Xbox One exclusive?

[grimmweisse]

You mean like Mass Effect 1! Oh wait...regardless of being an exclusive at that time and for a long to Microsoft's platform, it didn't stop PS3 enjoying the 2nd and 3rd and eventually getting to experience the 1st.

So, it doesn't matter if the first Titanfall will be exclusive, if or when the second is released and across various platforms, then there is nothing stopping ps4 fans enjoying it just as much as Xbox or PC fans, regardless if millions of Xbox One consoles had been sold.

[Xsilver]

@XBOXFuN lmao like xbox fans when they heard Deep down was a exclusive:3 but here's the thing i can play titanfall on a 360 or my PC that's a fact :/

[4Sh0w]

Well if Titanfall 2 comes to ps4 great, I never understand the war from a gamers perspective because I still get to enjoy it on my X1. Yeah I understand why micro made the deal because they saw all the hype and smartly locked it up to keep it exclusive. EA is greedy and has the "bird in the hand is worth more than the bird in the bush" mentality.

[MizTv]

I'm going to play it on pc
No XBone needed

[WeskerChildReborned]

I could wait for Titanfall 2. It's not like there won't be any great titles for PS4 till then.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

Infamous has more preorders and it's coming out about the same time.

[AliTheSnake1]

I never really did care about it anyway.
Map,weapons and characters look really stale.
Maybe I'll try it on PC, if there was a demo.

[KnAzEtHiX]

My heard hurts..... (referring to reading your comment)

[serratos27]

Not necessarily. Those PS4 owners who really want to play the game will opt to get it for PC and play it using their DS4. Course that doesn't include everyone, but to say that PS4 owners will NEVER get to experience Titanfall is false.

[MysticStrummer]

"It'll be like what gta is to the ps3."

I'm not even sure what you mean by this. Did you mean PS2?

Titanfall will be a good game, possibly great, but it won't have nearly the same impact on the industry as GTA3 did when it appeared on PS2 and it won't sell nearly as much as GTA5.

As others have said, the timing of this announcement is no coincidence. It's damage control to counter the BF4 comparisons. It's probably very effective damage control too, since TF is such an anticipated game. It doesn't make me want an XB1, but I'm sure it will make at least some people buy an XB1 that might not have. It won't effect launch numbers much though, if at all.

[crxss]

SEE YOU GUYS ON PC!

[Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II]

PC the lower end? your a muppet.

[ABizzel1]

I must say it's a sad day for Xbox fanboys, you guys are trying your best to hold on to any kind of.......I don't know what you're holding on and hoping for, but it's not coming.

That goes for PS fanboys as well. The PS4 has proven it's the more powerful system, and if you listened to myself and others you knew that long ago, but obviously you just wanted visual confirmation. You have it now let it go, and move on.

The XBO is a solid console, the PS4 is a better console hardware-wise and pricing wise. Get what you console you want to play online and whose exclusives you enjoy the most, and end it there.

The fighting should end now, and let's game. Drop the ban hammer on these fanboys from both sides.

Edit:

On a side note, there is no winning here, as going exclusive was not something Respawn wanted at all. The deal was all M$ and EA. Obviously M$ felt the sting going into the next gen as well as the pre-order numbers, and so they paid more to make Titanfall a 1 game exclusive.

On Vince Zampella's twitter, he tweets with someone:

Vince
Always MS exclusive at launch, great partner and focus is good for a startup. EA made a deal for the rest, we only found out recently =(

William
@VinceZampella Not to read into something. But I have a feeling your not 100% happy with this deal. Not to say Microsoft or EA hurt you...

William
@VinceZampella my point being is that I think you feel with this deal the longevity of TianFall 2 3 how ever many you make gets hurt on PS 4

Vince
@HideousGamer No plans for anything past 1 yet, but I like the way you think =D

Now some may take that as him talking about TitanFall 2 and 3, but the fact of the matter is that what William said is true. By not being on the PS4 along with the XBO, means that gamers are going to consider TitanFall as an XB game, and when it comes time to sell on the PS it's not going to do well as the XBO version, because gamers had no chance to play the original game on their console (which was the case for many games this gen). Unless the PlayStation 4 continues to outsell the XBO by the rumored 2:1 ratio then this games PS sales are going to suffer.

EA has to be wondering if this was a good decision, but I guess M$ paid them at least $180 million (expect at least 2 million in sales $120, and paid another $60 million to stop potential PlayStation sales) for exclusivity, but is it worth missing out on another possible 2 million on the PS4. M$ is said to have spent $1 billion dollars on games for the XBO. This is a dangerous and stupid game they're playing. Yes it may help you console early on, but what happens when publishers begin to EXPECT this type of behavior, and they start coming to the consoles with deals up front for fear of getting an inferior version. It's time for M$ to go, and focus on software and services for the industry.

[Johnsonparts23]

You sir, are a tool. The PC version will be best obviously. You do know ever peice of footage and gameplay that's been released so far is on pc right? It's all PC architecture now so the consoles are ports, in a way. Anyway, your not very smart.

[Ritsujun]

Lalanana, did you count how many times you've got Xbone180'd by Microsofie, so far?

[Twinblade]

Ps4 owners like myself would just play it on PC.

[dale_denton]

my PC says HI

[donman1]

It a new unproven franchise. How about you wait and see how well it does first.

[tubers]

Clarification: ONLY PS4 owners.

[mkis007]

Don't be so sure that just because Titanfall 1 is a xbox exclusive that its sequels, if released on ps4, will only sell on xbox1. Case in point: Call of Duty Ghosts is now preordering better on ps4 than xbox1. http://www.amazon.com/best-...

But my point is just 1 point to be made. All this crap is just spin.

[MarkusMcNugen]

@Everyone

You do all realize that having it on PC and the X1 is a win-win for Microsoft right? You have to use their OS to play it on PC. Why would a company that primarily makes it's profit from the PC market not release a great title on both platforms to make both products more attractive?

Seriously guys, use your brain. If a Sony fanboys play Titanfall on their PC, Microsoft still wins.

I hope all three of the big console companies the best with their products, but its just stupid to think Microsoft wouldnt release a game on their PC product to potentially attract more customers to their PC OS.

@mkis007
<sarcasm>
I didnt realize Amazon was the only place to pre-order games. Damn, what happened to Best Buy, Gamestop, and every other offline and online store. They must be pissed that they arent allowed to offer pre-orders for games.
</sarcasm>

[dcj0524]

So basically it'll sell just as well. Like GTA. Sounds like a deal to me.

[ChrisW]

Sure people can play TitanFall on the PC at 1080... but can their graphics card handle it at its fullest?!?

Many of the people above who are boasting about not needing an XboxOne probably can't play it on a graphical par on their PC. Thus, your comments are questionable.

[RyuCloudStrife]

Lalana how are you comparing Titanfall to GTA:V? Titanfall hasn't even seen the light of day, an UNPROVEN franchise, looks like a 360 game, and its a FPS.

Please tell me how Titandump compares to GTA:V? And no it is not a shame that I will not experience this game because it's generic and a gimmick next-gen hype type of game, with CURRENT GEN graphics.

[Wizziokid]

I'm a ps4 gamer, not getting an X1 until they cut the price or make a Kinect-less bundle, but if I want to play it my PC is more than capable. And I can use DS4 with it on PC which is another win.

If I want to play it.

[MorePowerOfGreen]

Bu Bu Bu CBOAT said Titanfall will come to PS4 says Neogaf

[Ps4Console]

I have to buy a Xbox One then so be it this game looks awesome .

[DragonKnight]

Didn't Xbox fanboys said PS owners would never get to experience ME1?

[PrinterMan]

Too bad ps4 owners will never get to experience this game ??? Ummm, are we positive this game is worthy of your admiration seeing as it is not even released yet? Triple A and no one has played it yet. Wow! Besides, some of us PS3(4) owners do (will) have PC's. :)

[OCEANGROWNKUSH]

I think you are grossly overestimating the impact this game will have on console sales. The best looking version will be on PC without a doubt so really its not even a true exclusive.

[ZombieKiller]

Good thing for me I am a fanboy that has money. Guess i'll be buying an xbox now :/

Whatever. I'll wait for a price drop and the game to release....then I'll consider. I can't bring myself to buy that thing though (xbox one). I have a 360 and it collects dust. Gears got old for me, COD is stale, and the same every time. Plus on PS3 if I wanted it again for some dumb reason. Then MS capitolizes on EVERYTHING. Paying $50 a year to get advertised to and shafted at every turn with nothing free until they're forced to do it. Then Major Nelson. Ugh... the whole xbox "culture" needs to go away. They thumb their nose stating they're the best. No. They're the most expensive without reason. You get what you pay for doesn't apply because they are LITERALLY selling thin air with that $50 a year for just XBL.

@Lalanana: Do know what you are talking about? Because GTA didn't make PS3 a system seller. PS3 made PS3 a system seller with all of it's exclusives and alot of other things. GTA is on xbox too.

Speaking of GTA, does anyone think of that commercial in GTA V about the cloud when everyone mentions xbox one's cloud? I keep imagining these uneducated idiots like "It has the cloud though, we're all on the cloud!" yet have absolutely NO IDEA what the cloud is....

[steve30x]

I'll own a PS4 but I will play this game on PC. Just because a person owns a PS4 doesn't mean that they don't own an Xbox One , Xbox360 or PC.

[SilentNegotiator]

I can only play Dead Rising 4 and Titanfall 2 with all of their inevitable improvements?

BOO HOO HOO

Just another repeat of the 7th gen, I'm sure. Microsoft buys a couple of exclusives that don't reach beyond game 1 and then we get to play all of the improved sequels. Makes it a pretty easy decision for me; skip Xbox, buy PS (like I wish I had done this gen).

[titletownrelo]

"The game comes to pc and xbox 360 but those are the lower end."

BAHAHAHAHA! Because obviously 720p>1080p!!!! XD

[CenturyDemolitons]

So im geussing that no one is gonna remember that the steam os willhave its own console. Who needs A new comp ill just try out the new console..wich can play my pc games i already own on steam... Win win for me. I probally should add that even though steam will make their own os i have not seen a date for the Realese of it. Also i expect it to bea few more months after the os realeases before the console dose. But still thats my opinion, who knows maby Titanfall2 will already be out by the time the console is made. I dont know this is just my opinion.

[colonel179]

I guess money real speaks very loudly since third party developers always talk about no more exclusivity deals... until there is money on front. Must of third party developers refuse to put exclusive games (not content) on PlayStation, but they are totally great at putting exclusive games on Xbox. Even EA is doing it now with Titan Fall and Sunset Overdrive.

In short, this is prime example showing how Publishers only want money, and not quality anymore. They don't care anymore about having a great game, they only care how much noney they will make from it. They don't make a new IP to stablish a franchise and recognition over time. They have to have a great calculated profit before they even begin thinking about doing something new and different. And obviously, if there is someone that can give them millions before hand, they won't care, and become their intellectual slaves.

[-Alpha]

I don't see how this proves Titanfall isn't a quality game.

Respawn have been working on this game for quite a while. Like most devs, I assume they build a product with the intention of making it a quality title.

If publishers want to work out exclusivity deals, that their business. That doesn't reflect on the quality of the developer's efforts.

As far as I understand, EA is simply publishing, while the developers are exercising good freedom with the direction/vision of what they want the game to be.

[Omegasyde]

What this shows is that EA was full of $@%@% saying they are console agnostic.

http://www.playstationlifes...

I Look forward to Battlefield 4, but after that I am buying all used games if I have to buy a EA game from now. I just pray that the NFL license agreement expires soon.

[come_bom]

What about Capcom's PS4 exclusive Deep Down or the just released Beyond two souls for the PS3 from Quantic Dream ... and Quantic Dream's new game for the PS4.

What about Bayonetta 2 and ZombiU for the WiiU.

Sony and Nintendo also pay for and have various 3rd party exclusives.
Stop being so blind!

[mhunterjr]

man, get real. How many great franchises got their wings as Sony Exclusives before going multiplat?

GTA, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider, just to name a few.,,

There's nothing wrong with starting out on one console. If anything, it allows the developer to focus. And doing so doesn't hamper innovation at all.

Are you going to complain that Deep Down isn't a multiplatform game? probably not...

[Omegasyde]

^^^^^

Read the link I posted. It's not about the game being exclusive it's about the hypocrisy of EA.

First excuse was the "powa of the clowd" is needed for this game (yet comes out on Xbox360).

http://www.respawn.com/news...

@mhunterjr

Bad Examples.

I get your point but you do realize this game is coming out on 360,Xbox One, and PC right? How is that focusing on one console?

Deep Down is a free to play to game vs Dead Rising 3 which are both published by Capcom and both console exclusive. I guess an even trade? I highly doubt Sony paid money for a free to play game.

@come bon
Bayonetta 2 is published by NINTENDO.
Zombiuu uses the Nintendo game pad which uses an exclusive controller.

[MarkusMcNugen]

@Omegasyde
What would be the point of releasing a game on only one console, especially a free to play game, if there wasnt something in it for the developer or publisher? If Capcom isnt getting anything from Sony than they are just shooting possible profits in the foot.

[B-radical]

Smart moves MS
Dumb move EA

[Bathyj]

I was thinking the same thing.

Seems dumb for EA to limit the exposure of a potential new franchise for them to milk. I guess the payoff was huge.

One thing we all know for sure now, all the talk of only being possible on the cloud was bollocks. This had nothing to do with hardware and everything to do with money.

[black0o]

it's still a smart move from EA .. NOW they can make $$ without worrying about the adv and sells numbers

[AlexanderNevermind]

I said as much in another thread. Bold move by MS. As they needed to take some of the sting away of the BF4/COD resolution fiasco. These tweets by the dev show I may have been spot on that this move was recent.

http://n4g.com/comments/red...

[4Sh0w]

Exactly as I said above EA could likely make more in the longterm but who can resist a fat garuanteed check today from micro? Still good move by micro because judt looking at the comments you can see this IP has undeniable level of interest. I'll also remind people that micro has deep pockets and always has the potential to buy what ever the can to improve their position.

[Kujii]

Smart move for MS
Safe move for EA

End of the day for EA its money in the bank.

Anyone got a guess to how much you think they got paid?

I think 60mil - 80mil

[MajorGecko]

60-100 million is prob what they spent to make then game I bet its more like 200 million they played 400 million for the NFL tv on Xbox one so its believeable

[JackISbacK]

what the fuck the guy never said that other sequels of titanfall will be on ps4.he only just said that other ips from respawn will be multiplatform and people will be able to play respawn games on ps4 but not titanfall and its sequels at least these devs are not owned by ms ,but this ip must have been byied by ms ,if not so in some time ms will buy the franchise for xbox exclusivity,so these silly news willl be considered false.

[come_bom]

I guess Titanfall is not a timed exclusive. Smart move by Microsoft. Too bad for PS4 gamers that wanted to play the game on the PS4. There is always the PC version...

[T2]

Meh true it woulda been nice to play on ps4 but guess just gotta wait for 2 or 1.5 lol whichever they count as fulfilling the deal

[deadfrag]

The second one will most likely will come with a Single Player portion to play.Im saying this because Respawn have told that one of the reason this game was exclusive and didnt have a SP campain is because the are at the begining of developing the studio and dont have resources like money and man power to devote to a campain portion at this time.So all in all if Microsoft stop trowing fat checks to EA the sequel wil come to the PS4 too.Even liking what i have been seeing of this game I certain will not pay $60,50£ or 69.99€ to play this game been it only SP thats for sure.Even Halo and Killzone have Single player .Ok i understand Respawn its a new studio and this is a new Ip but if its only MP it should cost half the price period.

[mhunterjr]

if the first one sells well without a SP, i doubt the sequel will have it. The whole idea of a game needing both is what is senselessly driving up development costs.

The reason I say its senseless is because with typical online multiplayer games, developers spend so much time an money making SP experiences, yet players spend the lions share of their time in multiplayer.

on the flip side of that, you have developers trying to shoehorn MP into games that don't need it, and both the SP and MP end up suffering.

The industry would be better of if games could focus on what it is that makes them tick. There are some franchises that NEED their MP and their SP backstory (Halo, Killzone, etc), but there are others that only have them because its the status quo (Battlefield, COD etc)

some games should just focus on 1 or the other, and be priced accordingly

[spicelicka]

Well if I was to get a ps4, I would rather know this than have hopes of it coming to ps4.

[trywizardo]

i really don't think its gonna be released on PS4
but if it is congrats PS4 owner you'll finally have a AAA game :P

[Revolver_X_]

No thx. KZSF runs 60fps at native 1080p. Nice try though ;)

[TENTONGUN]

titanfall looks fun. but who gives a damn.... most of these next gen games look fun as well. look x1 guys, ms didnt do a damn thing for you in this situation. they did it for themselves period. go thank them for nothing. do you acually care if i get to play it or not since im getting a ps4? hell i dont even care.

[johndoe11211]

Which is inevitable.

[stuna1]

To be honest, we all know that pretty much the majority of people on N4G know of TitanFall, but that's just it, people here know of it! What about people outside of this site? If we're going by pre-orders numbers, they are not the amount that suggest that it's going to do gangbusters numbers! And before anyone mentions it's a ways off from release, this is a issue I am well aware off. This itself could pose a problem! Considering the heat Microsoft is taking, by them being surrounded by incompetence and all the damaging situation that they have found themselves embroiled in that after the initial sell through of Xbox1 after the Christmas holiday that everyone will see a sharp downturn in sales. It's already pretty clear that regardless of what people here on N4G may say or think, the Ps4 is the more popular of the two.

If the Xbox1 does see a downturn in sales after the Christmas season it's almost a given that rumbling and rumors, and speculations will start surfacing about a TitanFall port. My statement doesn't just pertain to TitanFall either, pretty much any 3rd party title that is exclusive to the Xbox1 will undergo the same process as far as rumors surfacing about the possibility of a PS4 version. The same thing would have happened to the WII U, had it not been due to the fact that as of now, the WII U is pretty much existing off of its 1st party support! This is why it's not getting the bigger 3rd party titles, because most are looking at it as a risk they are not willing to take!

To be fair the PS4 is not immune to this either! If God forbid, the PS4 suffers extensive damaging setbacks, before, during or, after release; they could also see a downturn in sales which would play out the exact same way it would with the others, where once thought to exclusive titles, someone would mysteriously find hidden code somewhere on the internet that supports the possibility of there being a Xbox1, WII U or PC version out there in the wild.

What I'm really trying to say is 3rd party exclusives are just as much dependent on how well they perform on the platform they are exclusive too, as too how much money changes hands to secure that exclusive! Many developers don't pay attention to the fact that a exclusive that is a life time exclusive is more expensive to them than a timed exclusive! And here is why; a lifetime exclusive that sells below what is paid for that exclusivity is basically restricted to what the developer receives as payment from the platform holder! But a timed exclusive; receives not only payment from the platform holder that owns timed exclusivity, but a profit from every platform that the title is released on after the exclusivity deal has expired, even if the title underperformed on the platform it was initially exclusive to.

[mediate-this]

You actually believe what you wrote? Titan fall will explode, word of mouth is the key to this. Many say its a cod clone but with mechs n jet packs, well thats the sort of thing that will get sheeple going. They masses want cod but they want it with a fresh twist.

Wall running ,jet packing ,mech shooting fun.

[HugoDrax]

@stuna1
"To be honest, we all know that pretty much the majority of people on N4G know of TitanFall, but that's just it, people here know of it! What about people outside of this site? If we're going by pre-orders numbers, they are not the amount that suggest that it's going to do gangbusters numbers! And before anyone mentions it's a ways off from release, "

You're kidding me right? You really think N4G is the reason TitanFall won over 75 awards and the game is still under development? Every gamer has heard of TitanFall. Like seriously, there was 48,000 attendees at E3 alone. Not counting the gamers worldwide who was watching E3 events online.

Second, you bring up pre order numbers, as if that's the determining factor for game sales. Everyone doesn't pre order games you know? I for one will have 2 PS4 game at launch, and 7 XB1 games at launch. If you don't believe me my PSN ID and Gamertag keeps a history of my activity.

Last, you know what else is interesting? I didn't pre order Infamous nor have I pre ordered TitanFall yet. Although, I'm still purchasing both ip's at launch. So understand that you can't determine the success of a franchise based on current pre order numbers.

[FITgamer]

I'm sure it would cost them almost 20% of $1 billion they have set for Xbox one exclusives to cover what the game could make across all platforms. They keep that up and it'll be another 360 situation.

[bleedsoe9mm]

Don't rule out ms Throwing more at EA for an exclusive on Titanfall 2 , especially if Titanfall is moving allot of hardware for MS

[ALLWRONG]

Still begging? It's not coming to the PS4 so... NEXT!

[tordavis]

Lots of crying rivers in this thread.

[Rimeskeem]

thank god it wont have a story so when titanfall 2 comes out ps4 people wont miss out on storyline

[tagan8tr]

MICROSOFT= "respawn we want TF exclusive on XO"
RESPAWN= "ok but you have to pay us as much as we would make releasing on XO and PS4"
MICROSOFT= thinking,thinking "Deal"

LOL

[showtimefolks]

still buying a ps4 and playing it on PC

but i guess MS wrote a big enough check that EA accepted and Respawn accepted as well. As much as respawn wants to say EA signed the deal they have 110% control over their IP since they are under EA's partners program

if they didn't want to be exclusive to xbox/MS they never had to unless they saw the cehck and thought oh well

Patcher who is wrong more often than right lol, said that for titanfall to be lifetime exclusive MS has to cover the potential sales of the game on ps3/ps4. so just imagine the check MS had to write

yet people can still play it without buying an xbox

[HugoDrax]

"yet people can still play it without buying an xbox"
"Still buying ps4 and playing it on PC"

Yet people can't still play it without supporting Microsoft (windows) & EA (Origin). So enjoy picking up TitanFall on X360 (Microsoft), or enjoy playing TitanFall on PC (Microsoft & EA origin). When it's all said and done, if you want to play this game you will support Microsoft. I for one hope every gamer gets to experience every game they're interested in. Just kill the disappointing comments Sony fanboys. You guys/girls sound butthurt over this news.

PS: Let's not forget Origin allows refunds, and steam doesn't. Also MS mentioned they're working on refund/trade in on digital downloaded games as well. Looks like a partnership brewing between MS/EA. Hate it, or Love it! the underdog MS is on top by securing this franchise.

http://kotaku.com/origin-no...

[showtimefolks]

Underdog MS lol first time I heard that. Their arrogance says nothing about them being underdog

[SlyFoxC]

@AuricGoldfinger it doesnt matter who the publisher is or who makes the OS.

The fact is that people who dont get a X1 can still play the game.

i dont care if it is a microsoft os or whatever you are gloating..

It fact is that if i buy a ps4 i can still play the game regardless of not being on ps4 and the fact that it is on a microsoft system.....

the fact is for those people who arent getting a x1 and dont have a 360 but will be getting a ps4. sure they cant play the game on their console but they can still play the game on another platform i.e. PC. Who cares who makes the OS....you could play this on mac...

the fact is that people regardless of what nex-gen system they are getting can still play Titanfall either way.

people are flaming sooo bad

[SuperBlur]

EA is a big supporter of MS and the original Xbox 1 drm.

they removed their online pass thinking they wouldn't need it anymore.

[showtimefolks]

NoMercyOnlyRage

for last 3 gens EA and sony had an amazing working relationship, but EA wanted what MS had with activision and that was bunch of money for timed exclusive stuff

and i agree EA thought no need for online passes when DRM policies everywhere

[BBBirdistheWord]

Titanfall only on XBO and PC.

Hmmm. I have a PC with i5 3570 and amd7950.
So that means I will be able to play it at near max settings.
Should I get it on PC?
No doubt the PC version will be best.

However, if I get the XBO version I will be able to play it on my 55" TV while reclining in my comfortable lounge... hmmm

I guess if it's anything like BF4, I think I'll go with the xbo. A few extra pixels won't be as fun as the big TV and the recliner. Also looking forward to the ability to issue voice commands with the xbo.

One thing's for sure. PS4 owners without a good PC graphics card and CPU are surely missing out!

That means more graphics cards will be sold.. or, dare I say it, perhaps more XBOs.

[tagan8tr]

Does ur pc not have hdmi? I'll be lounging while my laptop is plugged into TV via hdmi. Any pc bought in the last year or so with halfway decent gpu will play it.

[Back-to-Back]

This reviewtech guy is grade A scumbag

https://twitter.com/ReviewT...

[Aceman18]

it's understandable since they don't have 1st studios that create anything else other than halo, forza, and fable. it's the only way microsoft can actually secure new ips.

either way one game is not enough for me to spend 500 even if that game turns out to be a world beater. if i was a PC gamer i'd just get the game for it instead of spending half a grand for it.

[Golden_Mud]

Yeah , I think after it gets all the success , expect some huge money dropped at EA to buy the franchise , expect something like the Halo situation to happen

[jeperty]

I know they say now that the first Titanfall will always be exclusive, but didn't they say the same thing about the first Mass Effect? Maybe it was under different circumstances, I dunno

[JoSneak]

Micro$ost can have the IP for all I care, the game is another COD... They think they can buy anything, you know what they can't buy the quality of Sony's first party studios.
Look at Rare! Micro$oft put them to work on freaking Kinect games! what a wasted opportunity! they don't care about their in-house developers,they never will, just take a look at what the Indie dev's have to say about microsoft...
they will just buy IP's because they can't come up with anything that good.
just like Capcom's deadrising and Epic's Gears of war hell even Crytek's Ryse (lol)
They will never match Naughty Dog, Polphony or Sony Santa Monica.

[Kayant]

That's quite shitty for the dev of the game to not even know news like this.... But I guess EA will be EA.

Also #Truthfacts. CBOAT restored loool :p

[nukeitall]

Remember how everyone said because this game is published by EA, it will go multiplatform onto PS4?

Ironically, it turns out EA is the reason why Titanfalls is exclusive!

Epic Games was also a multplatform developer, but all these years, Gears of War was and still is exclusive.

[xHeavYx]

You forgot Mass Effect I see, even if that game was mentioned a million times already

[abc1233]

Not really. MS is the reason why Titanfall is "exclusive". If this was up to EA, you can bet that they would want to make as much $$$ as possible. I.e. releasing it on more platforms, especially the PS3 with its massive userbase.

[nukeitall]

@heavy:

I donæt think there is any doubt when both the publisher and the developer says it is *lifetime* exclusive.

Better wait for Titanfalls 2, but it might go the way of Gears of War exclusivity.

Mass Effect was not confirmed *lifetime* exclusive. It clearly was just time exclusive at best, but hey even if titanfalls come to PS4, we would have all moved onto something better.

[IcicleTrepan]

If Titanfall does well enough I can see MS trying to buy Respawn up.

[abc1233]

One would think that after being dismissed by one bad publisher, they wouldn't then go and work with an even worse one.

[Majin-vegeta]

Hmm sounds awfully familiar....

@Abrial Exactly.

[Abriael]

Mass Effect?

[LEOPARD1030]

LOL ! I'm thinking the same Mass Effect. C'mon is EA, PS4 will reach the 10 millions of consoles during 2014 and they will release the game, for sure, EA is has a good vision $_$

[Pandamobile]

Well, the first Mass Effect was published by Microsoft before EA bought Bioware.

[black0o]

TitanFall GOTY edition lol

[mhunterjr]

nah, this is very different from Mass Effect. MS published Mass Effect 1, and went Multiplat only after Bioware was purchased by EA.

also in this case, Respawn is still an independent developer and EA doesn't own the TitanFall IP, just the right to publish titanfall 1.

For all we know TitanFall2 will be published by Microsoft... Or even Sony for that matter

[BBBirdistheWord]

@ Majin-vegeta

Metal Gear Solid?
Final Fantasy?

[pyramidshead]

Well the rumours did state it was a year timed exclusive... and seeing as EA has stated this franchise will be annualised...well that sorta all fits into place now doesn't it :).

Hopefully the second one won't look like ass either ¬_¬ or at least upgraded to something better than source engine.

[nukeitall]

I doubt they would be able to annualize this game, but suspect Respawn would just iterate on it, by adding more modes and maps for a long time.

Even when CoD was annualized it required two teams and massive re-use of mature technology deep into the console cycle.

[Jazz4108]

This is a fun bunch of comments to read. I finallly can sit back on n4g and smile. Notice I said smile as I dont go around hating on inadamant objects or corps that make me NO money. This is just fun and makes me smile wide. This is a fact and everyday articles on here run with rumos and hope the negatives against ms are true. I also think that gafs boat sunk along time ago. In otherwards find something else todo besides hate to on other peoples opinions that are diffrent from theres. Gotta love America.

[thebudgetgamer]

I think that is stupid, especially if the story carries over. Might as well just leave it.

[Deadpoolio]

What story? It's a MP only title it has no campaign...It's going to do well because it's basically infinity ward but because it has no campaign it's not going to be a sky rocketing success, MP only titles never do

[thebudgetgamer]

I totally forgot about that, thanks for reminding me.

[mhunterjr]

False. It's multiplayer only, but you still play through as campaign. instead of just typical deathmatches and such, the skirmishes play out as levels in the campaign. There are two stories being told, one for each side of the conflict.

[Relientk77]

So Titanfall 2 coming to PS4, in the future

[Abriael]

Could be something else entirely.

[DigitalRaptor]

So there we go. Not platform limitations. Not networking limits.

Money changing hands, as simple as that.

[torchic]

nobody has time for that, other exciting games will come to PS4.

EA just handed initiative to Destiny in becoming the best selling FPS of the generation. what a poor decision.

oh well, Destiny it is!

[FlameHawk]

Titanfall is going to be a big game, they must have spent tons of money to make the first game exclusive. This means less money to other exclusives.

[Agent1]

Microsoft will not run out of money! lol

[FlameHawk]

Microsoft does not give the Xbox division all of their money, the Xbox division is limited, so yes Microsoft won't run out of money but they sure as hell won't give the Xbox division all of it.

[4Sh0w]

Yeah of course they wouldn't give 1 division all of it, but as you can see they will in fact use their substantial financial resources to pay for what they need to buy for X1. Seriously supporting X1 seems like petty cash to micro, the company's overall financial is earning big wads of cash from their Azure server network being licensed to tons of business, but yet letting any 3rd party dev to use it for free on X1. The OS plus other software of course are still raking in cash. Micro almost wastes money on making full real life detailed armor with gold plating for Ryse, its not even necessary but they have money so why not. All signs point to Microsoft having substantial cash revenue, maybe not the hot brand like Apple but still pretty damm well off.

[Kayant]

This news actually sounds worrying to me considering it was recently made. If MS are willing to sink that much money into this then I see the pattern with X360 and it's lack of new ips/exclusives continuing with the XB1 in time.

This deal must be easily $100 million+

[OrangePowerz]

Must be above that, MS must make a deal that pays of for EA. EA isn`t doing that great and it`s likely they would make more than 100 million profit if they would sell it on PS3 and PS4 as well. So MS must have paid an amount that would exceed the profit from sales for PS3 and PS4. Let`s say an optimistic estimate would be 10 million units for PS3 and PS4 combined at 60 bucks for 600 million (not including future DLC). Taking away the cut for Sony and retailers that would be around the 300 million profit region.

[kewlkat007]

EA is doing fine... http://www.computerandvideo...

[OrangePowerz]

Their year over year revenue is down. Their Q2 revenue for digital was $450 million with an overall loss of $273 million for EA. They still have problems with making actual profits and their stock went down 2.8% after they announced the Q2 results. They are far from having to close, but they are not doing great bleeding money slowly.

[medziarz]

or they just bribed EA execs and sent money to their off-shore paradise accounts, and payed the company some lousy $60M.

[Foxgod]

unless ofcourse, their next game wont be titan fall 2, but for example bad company 3.

[thebudgetgamer]

HA!

[BlackTar187]

well if thats the case the mentality of console gamers is a yearly cycle so i doubt i would be celebrating this if your banking on it for over a yr.

COD BF's and other games will take over after titanfall is out a year with no sequel.

Thats the nature of the beast/business

[sigfredod]

shortest exclusive anouncement on the history, lol
big check from MS confirm

[black0o]

M$ had to save the day

[stuna1]

One can't help but to wonder how will this hurt Respawn in the future!? Microsoft is looking at this as a short term stance on TitanFall hopefully spurring sales, but the question remains what happens if it doesn't perform up to expectations? Will Microsoft leave them with their a$zes hanging out, like they have with pretty much any exclusive deal they've made!? People know this to be true because all you have to do is look at is the fact that most have left running with their tails between their legs! It's a reasoning behind Bungie going multi platform. Most companies leaving Microsoft have nothing but horror stories to tell, most indies tell of indecent behavior

On top of everything there is no guarantee that PS4 owner are going to welcome them even if they do decide to bring the second iteration of TitanFall to the PS4, because they will feel that money would be the only reason behind them doing so, and not the fact that they have been vocal as well as the Xbox and PC fanbase in stating that they also want it on the PS4.

And to those above saying people are crying a river, or it still not coming to the PS4! That may be true, but it's sad that that is the only piece of good news that you've had in a while! So it's only natural that you would want to cherish it.

[OrangePowerz]

Let`s see how long that marriage between Respawn and EA will last given EA only informed the creators of the IP recently about their plans for the franchise.

[123pol]

can someone explain why this game is so hyped ?

[OrangePowerz]

Because it`s made by the CoD guys and it`s CoD with Mechs.

[Kayant]

But it also looks & probably will be fun.

[BlackTar187]

Cuz its exclusive. Ask yourself why Xbox is more hyped about this game then the game created by the makers of what made xbox relivent in halo.

Can you imagine if this was multi and destiny was exclusive how in love the xbox only crowd would be with it and not titanfall?

[Inception]

I don't get the hype either. Lookin on the trailer it's just CoD with mech and some parkour movement from Mirror Edge.

[IcicleTrepan]

It won a lot of awards at E3 including best game.

[patsrule316]

I figured this was a recent development. At E3, when asked if it would ever come to PS4, he said "We are only talking launch right now." He fully expected Titan Fall on PS4. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just done in the last few weeks.

Still, it wasn't a game I would have bought anyways. I am not into competitive multiplayer, and that is the only mode in this game.

[alb1899]

Read this: E X C L U S I V E........CABOOOON!!

[BBBirdistheWord]

dude, it's nice that the xbo has a confirmed killer exclusive and your comment brought a smile to my face after all the ugly rumours and putdowns against the XBO on here, but I want to caution you against becoming like that which is despised.

While some of the ps4 fans carry on like certified nutjobs here, it's important to carry the good news about titanfall on the xbo with dignity. Let's not sink to their level.

It really sucks that PS4 owners won't get this game.
Rather than gloat, I'd like to offer PS4 fans my commiserations and invite them to consider an xbo purchase, if their PC isn't already powerful enough to run this game.

This game looks too much fun to miss out on and we are all gamers after all.

[alb1899]

Nice from you!
I just hope that they won't be stupid enough to don't buy both consoles, I mean I won't miss the exclusive that I like from SONY because I'm a gamer!

[Pancit_Canton]

Titan Rise to be PS4 exclusive. :)

I'm sure lots of people will play it on the PC for 1080p, 60FPS ultra settings. This game just looks like crap on the console no matter what platform it's on.

[mixelon]

As it's multiplayer only surely the sequel can include all of the original game's content anyway?

... I'll get it on PC anyway.

[horndog]

I think zampella feels pity for these poor souls. I mean they have to play killzone, that's rough on anybody.

[reko]

@horn

they do? when ps4 is better than x1 lol
.. theyre making a game for it on the ps4 and titan fall is coming out on pc---> ps4------->x1

[kewlkat007]

Titanfall will not be released on a PlayStation console, says EA, ruling out any notion of it being merely a timed exclusive for Xbox.

"There are tactical opportunities from time to time on a title or on a service component that we do enter into a relationship with one or two of the first parties on that particular opportunity and we'll execute on it," said Gibeau.

"Titanfall is an example of that. Well that's that.

[Abriael]

In fact this is not talking about the FIRST titanfall game.

[alb1899]

Too much cry, at least give Microsoft the merits because they had the vision and fight for this special exclusive.

I will play as hell this game, looks so much fun!!

[Lucreto]

I am surprised EA is doing this. Not to sound like a fanboys but you think they would be backing away from this looking at preorder numbers.

[johny5]

This setup will play Titan Fall at 1080p at max settings or at least much higher then the XBOX ONE!

AMD 7870 ($175): http://www.newegg.com/Produ...

Here's an 8core CPU you can get for ($120W coupon) http://www.newegg.com/Produ...

Total comes out to ($580) or ($585 with the 8core) and with the AMD 7870 you get 2 free games! The CPU Case will snuggle under any cabinet like any console. This might be $80 dollars more then the XBOX One but remember you have to buy the games and pay for online and update/install your games just like a PC, it's going to come out about the same or more especially with bundles!

Here is almost the same setup and this guy gets between 40-60 fps ultra at 1080p!

[patsrule316]

My 9 year old son was asking me about building/ making our own computer, but I've never built one before. I was thinking about making that a project for him and I to do together. Is this really all you need? How hard is it to put together after you get all of these items?

[johny5]

Honestly it's not all that hard or complicated. Building a computer hasn't really changed that much in the last 20 years and there's many how to videos that make the setup very easy.

The building process will bond you with your son like building a car together, it will bring you two closer while making him happy and you happy.

"something to think about for the holidays"

One of the best How to Videos! save it in your favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[PsylentKiller]

It's ridiculous how easy it is. The only part where you need to be careful is putting on the CPU cooler with thermal paste, but even that is straightforward. The challenging part is finding a good way to hide your wires so that the airflow isn't restricted. If you buy a better case they usually have space to hide the wires easily.
A first timer can probably put an entire computer together in less than an hour. Just remember static is your enemy. So put it together in an open area. Maybe get an anti static mat or bracelet.
The most time consuming part is setting up the OS and software.

[I_am_Batman]

Hey I was replying in another article but you were marked as off topic before I could post so here it is:

Some prices you stated are lower than the ones you linked. This Windows 8 version is just an upgrade OS. A proper Windows 8 pro full version costs at least double the price you mentioned. You'll have to take the RAM twice to get the specs from the vid. And you didn't include a Blu-Ray drive (+$50) so even with that crappy keyboard and mouse we're talking about $765 (shipping cost included). And keep in mind that you have to assemble and set up the whole thing before you can use it.

Now let's talk about the video: Yes he plays in 1080p but we're talking about BF3 multiplayer. And even there the framerate is highly inconsistent and drops below 30 at some points (could be because of thr recording to be fair).

I'm really not convinced by that build tbh. I doubt that it could run BF4 singleplayer in 1600x900 at a similar framerate as the PS4 with the same visual fidelity.

[johny5]

On my friends computer it did better! He's build ran stable between 50-60fps without Msaa or using Fxaa "like the PS4" at 1080p Ultra settings.

The guys build would run better if he toned down AA like the consoles or ran it at high settings with 2xAA which is still at a higher resolution then the consoles.

You really only need 4gb of ram for this most games as the video card has 2GB of video memory.

By the way I put this list together really quickly so there better prices online.

[medziarz]

yea, but u need two of those RAMs and that HDD price is some fluke! so is that motherboard - i don't know about its quality but from my experience a decent MB should cost about $100; HDDs are usually close to $100.

[johny5]

none of those are flukes so I don't know where your getting that?

The HDD is the real deal and so is the motherboard! Buy it or check it out and prove me wrong because it's legit!

[I_am_Batman]

With all the hype surrounding that game I can imagine that a lifetime exclusivity deal wasn't cheap.

[jay2]

Some comments on here are a bit stupid, I'm sure most people who want to play Titalfill own a PC..........In any case, how would newbies get the story line, Sony should jump in and pay for an exclusive IP.

[AceBlazer13]

microsoft could've probably produced their own exclusive for the price they're paying to keep this game. watevs no skin off my ass.

i can imagine EA laughing to the bank with that cheque.

[cyhm3112]

microsoft is stupid

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Hey guys isn't this wonderful that Titanfalls now exclusive to Microsoft. I saw this coming when Respawn wanted to remain an independent developer not being under EA.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

I'll be to busy play superior multiplats and exclusives to care, have fun on the deserted Xbone platform Respawn.

[XboxFun]

And we'll be too busy playing exclusives that people are actually excited for and multiplats that have no real visible difference and plays exactly the same.

Thanks Respawn!

[DigitalRaptor]

Well, dem pre-order figures are pretty dismal if you want to go for an inspection. If that's what you count as "exclusives that people are actually excited for", then...

And you're in for a rude awakening in regards to multiplat differences, especially if you have a decent 1080p set for gaming. A 50% increase in resolution is not insignificant, and only a delusional idiot would suggest it is. either that or you haven't been paying attention at all in recent days.

So of course,,, there's no real visible difference, because the Xbone isn't significantly weaker hardware and hasn't been born with any kind of esRAM bottlenecking. /s

[Evil_Abed]

So it's official, we won't be seeing you in anymore Titanfall articles? What with your superior multi plats and exclusives, you have no reasons to care about this game correct?

Why even come here anyway? I find it so stupid when people comment on games they claim to not care about. I don't care much for JRPG's but you won't see me going into No No Kuni discussions talking about how I don't care because X WRPG is better.

The fact that you have more agrees than disagrees is a testament on how stupidly lopsided N4G is.

The fact that pointing this out could earn me a ban is further proof.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

*hands over tissue
I'm sorry my comment hurt your feelings :-(

[Clunkyd]

We don't know if this game is going to be good. So as of right now im not even worried.

[Evil_Abed]

Worried about what exactly? If it is was good as everybody that plays it says then what? What is it that you'll need to worry about? Quit trying to dull people's enthusiasm simply to support some delusion that only PS4 exclusives are worthy of praise.

Wow this site is a disease.

[DevilishSix]

No biggy really, if you are a PS4 only owner, Destiny comes out the month after Titanfall in April, that is where I will be spending my time. I have a 360 if I want to play it but honestly I haven't seen anything exciting about it. that is just me though and to each their own, but I diffently wouldn't spend $500 to play it on X1 when I already have a 360 that will run the game with the same gameplay as on X1.

If they really wanted to push X1 sales it should be exclusive to that platform, but it being on 360 or PC, most will have the ability to play it without spending $500, so I don't get the point of this kind of exclusivity.

[alb1899]

Blablablabla, all what I read is crying person there.

Can Microsoft have something right?

Let it go, Titan Fall will be a console seller and will be fun as hell!
Destiny will be nice but I don't see it with the same eyes as Titan fall, they are different fun for me

[Evil_Abed]

Here's the point, wanna play titanfall on current gen console? Xbox 360 - Microsoft
Next gen? Xbox One - Microsoft
PC? Windows 8 - Microsoft.
See the pattern yet? To play the most awarded game at this year's E3, you have to own a Microsoft platform.

I just made sense for you. Now pay me.

PS, Destiny is great but TitanFall AND Destiny is preferable to most.

[joel_c17]

I might pick titanfall up on PC - if not ill wait for Titanfall 2 (its a yearly release) to come out on ps4. Its just a shooter - im not really fazed too much.

I wont be picking up a next gen system for a year or so anyway.

[DevilishSix]

Microsoft, microsoft, microsoft the repliers sound like company paid cheering section. I don't care its microsoft. My whole point is that $500 doesn't have to be spent to play this game and thus is not a system seller like it would be if it was only on X1.

[FanboysAreGimps]

I have no alliance whatsoever to either console but 1st it was people saying how this looks not so good, then it was "this game looks great and your dumb if you think it won't be on PS4" and now it's a case of the very same people talking about the game maybe not being good and they all own powerful enough PC's to play it because EA have come out and killed the idea of it being on the PS4

It boggles my mind how much people on here flip flop, quite pathetic really

[badkolo]

love watching those tears roll, and the excuses, its on pc, its on pc too, more money for ms either way

[Supermax]

Respawn ea and Microsoft new this all along what do you think respawn would say yea were x1 only suck It Sony no they have other games not titanfall related that will be on both platforms so they want to keep the goodwill comeing. Please stop being sheep and use your brains.titanfall will never come to the ps4 just like killzone will never go to the x1.

[buynit]

A lot of butt hurt comments... " ill play it on pc" "ill get part 2 on ps4" " its not a quality game" " ea is just money hungry"

You ppl get so damn emotional!

[Silly gameAr]

Sounds like people are just saying what they are going to do if they want to get the game other then bothering with the X1. Take it however you want though.

[buynit]

Yea... Im going to take it as they are butt hurt... Especially the pc comments, their are not as many pc gamers here as you are lead to believe..

[cell989]

EA will have a change of heart once they see the PS4 sales sky rocket, they were under the impression that XBONE would be a more reliable platform. All signs are pointing to PS4 being superior and less expensive. That said douchebag Microsoft will try to bribe EA a new one just to keep it on xbone, Im curious to see just how all this plays out.

PS: I still think Titanfall is overhyped, even more so now that we know the e3 gameplay footage was not from xbone but from PC where the superior version will reside. I could be wrong

[DevilishSix]

Honestly it doesn't bother me either way. What I would say is that it does run on the 15 year old Source engine, albeit modified, but in no way is or will Titanfall be a graphical showcase of a game. In fact it will look and play just fine on my 360 and anyone that has an itch can get a $100 360 to play it and not have to worry about shelling $500 smackers to scratch an itch.

[Loki86]

Someone is extremely upset, denial is just the first stage son. This comment is the epitome of the PS fanbase. I am getting both consoles so I can experience all the best exclusives. It is sad that people have to wish others gamers choices fail. Pathetic.

[cell989]

Clearly you misunderstood my point, I don't wish that on anyone. Why are you so defensive? You're going to spend $1000+ on your gaming needs, nice!! Good for you, just know that not everyone can afford such shopping sprees

now we know why.

[brianunfried]

I'm not really very excited for online only games, hopefully the sequel will have a campaign.

[DevilishSix]

not just online only but multiplayer only.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Titanfall is just COD with Mechs that's all. Seen enough off it not to be jumping threw the roof for it. Add to that the graphics are more than dated. Stated here before there not far removed from black ops 2. Show me the dx11 working on Titanfall i dare you :).

Again I've stated being we are paying now an extra ten pound a game I'm expected more than a glorified COD with Mechs. Move on till the next game. Tbh peoples standards are getting lower and there value for money is sinking.

[boeso]

God this is painful.

Can we agree to let future X1 owners have some good news PLEASE! I ask for one piece!

[cell989]

The good news: it's xbone exclusive, looks like tons of fun, you won't have to buy COD anymore.

The bad news: it runs on old source engine, no campaign, no coop, and just as expensive as a full fledge game? Don't know about the last one. Oh and it might not stay exclusive on future releases

There I fixed it for you :)

[srd4484]

So in 2016, Titanfall 2. Who says MS can't make that an exclusive as well?

[Loki86]

Respawn has six more months to work on this and I would say they at least get it to 900p. Just depends how fast the eSRAM is figured out.

[DanielGearSolid]

If they make "Titanfall 2" Respawn will instantly become a dev I avoid.

Under Activision:
They make a first person shooter (every other year)
They leave the company because it was too controlling
Then they go to... EA (wtf, just as bad as Activision)

Under EA :/
They make another fps :/
The company is already making moves they dont even know about :/

Seriously... Learn your lesson, Geeez

[4Sh0w]

Listen Im just glad I get to play it on X1 but I actually 100% agree with you there. I recall when I first heard they were now signed with EA, my first thought was "wtf, didnt they complain about being controlled by a big publisher like Activision?" Sure they are different companies but EA doesnt exactly have a much better reputation than Activision, they both are about milking anything that sells. Not hating its business but I just dont understand the move at all.

[windblowsagain]

Nothing against the game.

COD isn't my type of game and after watching it i'm not quite sure what the fuss is all about.

I mean I game on PC/PS3 and will get a PS4. But I won't be getting TF on PC either.

I think the big game to come will be DESTINY.

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

This is fine. In all honesty, your loss EA. I was willing to see what this game was about and was actually considering buying it...

We'll have plenty to enjoy though! Certainly no cause for alarm as if there won't be other games out there for the ps4.

Nonetheless, Enjoy it Xbox Fans, game looks promising and fun. Look forward to seeing what Respawn brings in the future to come for the ps4 base!

Cheers to gaming.

[kwiksilver99]

finally,someone with mature perspective on the issue
a rare find.+1 :)

[MRMagoo123]

exactly , and if you do get a hankering for the game at some point there is a pc version or 360 one.

[chito1016d]

It kind of makes you wonder what if Microsoft would of put this money to use in their hardware.

[quenomamen]

Ooh shit i don't know, probably 730p games, maybe 740 ?

[quenomamen]

Hmmmm, yea.... no thanks Vincy u guys crapped out Call it Doodies with impunity for years on current consoles and would be sitting on the crapper right now blowin out your O ring pushing out Ghosts if your boy Bobby hadn't double crossed you. Me thinks PS4 might be better off withought your " mad game makin skillz ". Feel free run a mock on the Xbone though, they don't seem to mind mediocrity. Now, come wit da disagrees ladies.

[SoulSercher620]

Titanfall 2 on PS4 confirmed

[DialgaMarine]

Still don't care. Killzone has already taken my next gen FPS interests. Xbots can keep this. They need a half decent game at this point, even if it is just overhyped leftover CoD shit.

[KingOfArcadia]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah.

[SonyAddict]

Child eh!.

[Holeran]

Stupid move on Respawns part. Very stupid.

[kwiksilver99]

i'm not sure if its ea's decision or respawn had a say in it.
i guess in the end the companies all want money which microsoft has a buttload of.
guess thats one less shooter for the ps4.

[Jamaicangmr]

Oh well you can't get em all. Maybe TF2 then Sony.

[Thomaticus]

I look forward to playing Titanfall 2. It'll be out February 2015. I don't want to hear nothing else about this game until then.

[TristanPR77]

I find Destiny more appealing than titan fall. One thing is for sure, when titan fall releases on PS4 it will be and look way better than the x1 version.

Too bad the only xbone exclusive game that appears to be good will only have a last gen 720 resolution

[kwiksilver99]

i really dont think games like cod sell because of their graphical prowness and titanfall seems to provide a similar experience.

xbox has exclusives apart from titanfall that look good as does sony.

[kwiksilver99]

well that's too bad.i was hoping it would come to the ps4.
well.they have made their choice.guess its easier to make mine.
i dont have an xbox360 or a pc to play this game and neither will i get any of the 3 ,anytime soon to do so.
i suppose there will be other games to play.:)

[MRMagoo123]

If i want to play titanfall i will do it on pc if thats the case, but i really dont have much interest in it, i like modern shooters like BF and i will enjoy that more i feel.

[NarcolepZZZZZZ]

My console can beat up your console. You all sounds like a bunch of children

[jspillen]

Most people would rather play it at 1080p / 60 fps... Unfortunately, that's not currently possible on the Xbone. So this is a must buy for PC... and a last gen romp on the xbone one.

[Underworld]

I'm getting a PS4, and I think Titanfall looks pretty good, though nothing great, so I'm not that interested and it doesn't bother me.

Though I do think having Titanfall on X1 might help sell it a bit. It's on 360 but I don't think that version will be as good. And it is on PC but there's a lot of people that don't have a gaming PC.

[DoubleM70]

Sony fans I wouldn't worry about this title too much. It definitely going to sell some consoles for Microsoft. Even still it want be as big as Halo was to Microsoft. It's a Multiplayer game with a not so deep campaign.

[SonyAddict]

I won't be giving two monkey's about this just like I didn't give a monkey about the whole mass effect serious..
To tell the truth I don't give a monkey's about any of EA's games or EA in general!.

[ATi_Elite]

According to PS4 fans they NEVER wanted to play Titanfall anyway so they said.

Do I need to link the post?

Well Sony fanboys You hated on Titanfall and NOW you will NVER get Titanfall. Good job LMAO!

Titanfall 2 will be XB1 Exclusive Guaranteed.

[OCEANGROWNKUSH]

I'm quite ok skipping the CRIPPLED Xbone version to play this on PC, where i play every other multi-platform shooter worth a damn. Just look at how pathetic the Xbone version of BF4 is compared to a MID range PC!! It's not even comparable!! Fuck yo console!

[saminseattle]

Lol just like mass effect was supposed to be exclusive ;) I say give it time

[bligmerk]

It's almost exactly Mass Effect, don't get the first but there are 3 before the end of the console, so the PS3 got Mass Effect.

Quite a few people still don't get it years later. Titanfall is a 2nd party exclusive for MS with EA. MS does not own the IP rights. EA owns the IP rights to the sequels. EA could be working on the sequel right now and it would come out in a year or two. If it is a strong game, people will still be playing it. If it is dreck, people will have stopped playing it. In the meantime, the PS4 has a ridiculous number of F2P like Planetside 2, Warframe, DC Universe, possibly Everquest, several others, that don't require a paywall, so it won't be that long before Titanfall 2. Besides, we haven't actually seen Titanfall on the XBone, only the PC versions which people think are good graphics. A few weeks from now, it will start being shown on debug XBones and it isn't going to look like the PC version.

[FanboyKilla]

Sorry sony fanboys, you think this is a win 4 you. lol it will be two to three years before you see a titan fall. lol there goes sony lagging behind as usual, pulling coat tells. lol we will be so far past titanfall in three years it wont be funny. but you p4 owners have a good time waiting and hating, we will be playing. p4 more like WAITING ON GREATNESS LOL you see what i did there. lol

[ground_beef]

I really don't know why the titanfall mania. It's a game. It's not the invention of the nuclear bomb, or the cure for aids. People already saying stuff like its a console seller, really? I mean it's a new ip, we know nothing about it yet. The game might suck hard, or it might be the best game in history. Until it's release we should all stop making assumptions about it. This console war thing is blowin things waaaay out of proportion. Look at the bf4 comparsion news. I mean I could barely see any difference between xbox1 and ps4, yet people are going crazy about it. Just pick what's best for you and be happy I say. I like chicken, other people like fish. Let's just enjoy next gen as a whole. I am a playstation fan ever since psx, my time with an Xbox console is about 12 minutes in my entire lifetime. But I respect Xbox and it's fans, I respect all consoles and console gamers. I mean we have enough hate in the world already to be bringing more hate between gamers.

[ooquis]

Just like mass effect and bioshock series was "life time" exclusives?

[FANTA1180]

no but xbox owners enjoyed part one ...and part two a full year ahead of ps3 owners ...

[jgrigs09]

Why does everyone keep thinking this is THE system seller? It's not?. Also stop bickering over it. You sound childish.

[no_more_trolling]

so ironic

because you're the one who is bickering

[Edi007]

This game is overscored is like blackright retribution neet to be free-to-play why they charge 70 euro + i m sure micro transaction (ea) and dlcs and saison pass

[NateCole]

There goes Titanfall's and EA's chance of getting COD sales this gen. Watch dogs and Destiny is going to wipe it off the map sales wise in Acti and EA battle for sales.

[FANTA1180]

they dont care homie ...enjoy killzone.

youre talking about money you have nothing to do with you have no idea what deal they have with ms ..so assuming they lost money in some way lmao keep thinking that.

[no_more_trolling]

butthurt?

[TheSaint]

So now exclusive means multiple platforms? Ok let me go call the Oxford dictionary to let them know.

[shysun]

Well that sucks! I'm still not going to buy a XBO!

[quenomamen]

@ NarcolepZZZZZZ
" My console can beat up your console. You all sounds like a bunch of children "

Well it's not really a fair fight when one if the consoles in the fight has special needs, if you know what I mean.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

Sucks for Respawn- (You'll see what I mean, in a few short years)

obligatory gif- http://gifatron.com/wp-cont...

[PickAShoe]

We don't even know if this game is good, since it's not out yet. They are getting too cocky.

[Mikelarry]

This a good move by MS, but a stupid move by EA as the money they would have made if it launched in both cconsolewill have been mind boggling if we go by hype.makes you think MS must have made EA a deal that was much bigger than the money they are losing by not making this a multiplatform game. I was going ti get it on a 360 but seems all my friends are now moving to ps4 and will now wait till it launches on there

[BX81]

Idk bro apparently they would have got it for PC or it's not on their radar because of all the other games...... My guess is some are just salty.

[slampunk]

"does the new announcement regarding Titanfall exclusivity to Xbox mean the Titanfall series or this release? Thanks.."

"Just this release."

The first game isn't even releasing until next March and the headline is confirming the next game will be on PS4? You must be f-ing kidding me?!

TF2 may come to PS4 but at this time even Vince probably wouldn't have any idea what will happen with the next game!

[MrZkaar]

This game really doesn't appeal to me. Got enough problems with campers, without people jumping over my head as well lol.

Ryse looks really good, but just can't bring myself to buy an Xbox One. Everything since it was announced has been a total f*ck up.

Very excited to get hold of my PS4, and I am more confident than ever now that I made the right choice.

[Adolph Fitler]

BF4, KZ:SF, COD:Ghosts, Destiny, & about 3 dozen more FPS's, with 1 dozen being D/L on launch for PS4 means that NO ONE cares about Titanfall..It's nice that MS fans have a replacenment for Bungie for a little while, its also funny how all of a sudden MS fanboys are writing off Bungie now there multiplat, when they are probably the same ones that called out Sony fanboys for doing the same thing on many occasions with different developers this current gen. I think MS would have been FAR better off securing COD, as Titanfall is far less likely to sell & appeal to the masses, like a COD or more basic war themed fps....Hate to say it, but I can't see mainstream gamers being interested in a FPS that 2nd's as a robot game......MAYBE if it was called Transformers it may have a chance of mass sales, but I really am not being a fanboy, as I would probably buy it if it was on PS4, hell, I may get it for my 360, probably not though, but I really just can't see the mainstream mentality being able to handle or want a game that mixes mechs & fps-ing.. Hope I'm wrong, & hope it gets a sequel that also comes to PS4 (as I'm only buying a PS4 to go with my Wii-U), but that is just the opinion & guess. I've just been around the block & seen sh!t like 50 cent Bulletproof sell millions, while AAA+ games like Ico, TM, Starhawk, Riddick, Strangers Wrath, BG&E, etc, etc, get snubbed & sell sh!t. Just sayin'.

[hankmoody]

NOBODY cares about Titanfall? This has to be the biggest bit of fanboy wank I have yet to read on this site. Sorry but it's true. Just look at the disagrees on here on all the pro-Titanfall comments. Titanfall is the one game that has appeared for next gen that gamers have been yapping about since it was first revealed. It's the game that won practically all the critics awards ever since.

Your entire comment is a joke. Why can't you just admit that you're bummed that it's not coming to your system of choice? You may be looking at this reply as one written by an "Xbot" or "fanboy" but as someone looking to eventually get both systems, there has been no exclusive announced for the PS4 that comes anywhere close to the hype that this game has been creating.

Frankly, I'm sick of the console wars and all this in-fighting between all of us but quite frankly, I'm enjoying seeing the worst of the PS4 fanboys eating their words right now. I know that a lot of pro-PS4 fans aren't jerks and can actually be pretty civil but the rest of you who feel the need to talk all your nonsense and harass everyone who doesn't share your views, I hope this announcement of Titanfall being an Xbox One exclusive genuinely hurts you.

[BX81]

Lol of course this isn't a big deal.... Rofl. Oh the humor.

[FANTA1180]

to all the sony fanboys "now" saying , respawn is going to lose money , the game isnt even out yet , the game is gonna fail , i didnt even want it anyways, it wont sell consoles......

3 simple words for you.

cool story bro.

@ADOLPHFITLER

343 STUDIOS IS THE NEXT BUNGIE ... TRY AGAIN

@NELOANGELO

weve been fine without your exclusives for the last 5 yrs, some people dont enjoy sonys exclusives.

my ps3 collects dust, i just prefer xbox exclusives over sony any day , if sony ever gets anything id like i would def buy the ps4 but till then.....

[hankmoody]

I feel like preordering this today just to get the satisfaction of doing so.

[no_more_trolling]

the butthurtedness is strong in here lol

[hankmoody]

I couldn't have said it better myself. You hear that crunching sound in the air? That's the sound of the worst of the PS4 fanboys EATING THEIR WORDS. I love it.

[SlyFoxC]

The fact is that people who dont get a X1 can still play the game.

i dont care if it is a microsoft os or whatever you are gloating..

It fact is that if i buy a ps4 i can still play the game regardless of not being on ps4 and the fact that it is on a microsoft system.....

the fact is for those people who arent getting a x1 and dont have a 360 but will be getting a ps4. sure they cant play the game on their console but they can still play the game on another platform i.e. PC. Who cares who makes the OS....you could play this on mac...

the fact is that people regardless of what nex-gen system they are getting can still play Titanfall either way.

people are flaming sooo bad

[Drainage]

i bet ps4 gamers saying it was timed in every reply to titanfall lovers caused micro$oft to moneyhat. This is why people call them m$. The only reason 70% of gamers (ps4 users) will not play this game is because of microsoft executives living in mansions writing checks

[OCEANGROWNKUSH]

PC>

[GentlemenRUs]

It's on PC, Nuff said ;)

[SwiftArsonist]

your pony tears are my joy. xboxoneftw

[hobbitooo]

well no big deal, sony fans can buy a $500 pc, then hook up with a ps4 controller, and play titanfall. feels awesome

[e-p-ayeaH]

Curious to see if this game is going to be the next big thing.

[ceed911]

"Just this release." Is not exactly the same as "Zampanella confirms Respawn will work on PS4"

It's clear that he meant that this current title will only be on 360/PC/Xbox One, but as far as 2-3 years in the future is concerned, all he is saying is nothing is off the table.

The same way Capcom was considering Deep Down for Xbox One and how Transistor is currently PS4 and PC. The odds are they show up eventually, but in no way is this a legitimate post that does nothing but try to make the N4G Sony fanboys appeased.

When I thought this site couldn't get any worse a 3 word reply is the basis for a top story.

[JasonKCK]

Still? I thought this was laid to rest yesterday.

[GraveLord]

Looks like PS4/PS3 players will have to stick to COD.
So much for Titanfall being the "COD killer"

[Welcome2Die]

Its simple really, either the game comes out for PS4..
or PS4/PC will be the best gaming experience, again!

[DC RID3R]

This sure is living huh guys?

*Sighs*

[bornsinner]

if the game is a success i think ms will continue to make it an exclusive

[FanboyKilla]

today this article is a lie take it down. Exclusive forevermore.

[JediDiah]

What about DLC? If they don't I bet it's to hurry up the next "Titianfall 2" one for cross platform.
