"The game is awesome on all fronts," insists software engineer. Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall is a bit of a technical stunner, albeit not so much in terms of raw visual grunt as in terms of how it makes use of Xbox One's cloud capabilities. Speaking to OXM in our latest issue, however, software engineer Jon Shiring has resisted the idea that you should buy Titanfall on the strength of its technology alone.
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.
It looks really good. Everything I have seen shows a lot of action. I really hope it delivers.
This is going to be the game! I have heard nothing but good things about this title. Going to be some endless fun on the weekends blowing people away in my mech.
Of course, I get it. But I wanna feel like I'm playing a next gen game, like this gen went on too long and I'm still waiting to be wowed. The division was the game that wowed me, not just in visuals but technical reasons and the gameplay hooked me immediately. That's an example of a game that's announcement had it all, gameplay, graphics, intruiging lore.
Titanfall looks fun, but I don't get the feeling that I'm playing a next gen game. IMO(yes my opinion) the environments don't look inspired. The color palette is the exact same thing that people ragged on killzone for, the environments being brown. The art style isn't really doing it for me either. I'm just not excited like I am for Destiny and The division. I see true leaps in those games. They look fun AND impressive. Titanfall looks fun, but not impressive. I'm not feeling like this game is pushing the FPS genre into next gen. Once again, IMO of course. Don't disagree just because, let me know why and we can debate :p

We Don't Want You To Buy Titanfall Just "For Technical Reasons"
I'm sure that Titanfall will be a great game indeed, but according to this quote, game in graphics terms will not be outstanding.
