One thing I wished would be brought back this gen is couch co-op/multiplayer. some of the best multiplayer experiences are when your buddy's right next to you.

Here's hoping all that cloud power will allow enough room for couch co-op/multiplayer again this gen.

xDHAV0K24x3700d ago

not a deal breaker BUT yeah those times were fun

4Sh0w3700d ago (Edited 3700d ago )

Agreed couch co-op needs to come back, it's one of the many reasons I love Halo so much. I mean just recently I had a blast with Halo 3 and 4 campaign through split screen co op.

king_george3700d ago

Yeah its not a deal breaker at all but many games i've played could've benefited from couch multiplayer. Hopefully it gets brought back

SniperControl3700d ago

Spent alot of hours with my mates playing Golden Eye on N64 using just a 21" TV.

Good days indeed.

dedicatedtogamers3700d ago

A multiplayer-only game that does not support split-screen? At least they're giving this system-seller away for free.

You want couch co-op/MP? Get a Wii U or X1.
Gears
Halo
Fable
Mario Kart
Mario party
Super Smash bros
PvZ Garden Warfare
Etc......

Sony First party studios don't believe in couch co-op. They don't like sacrificing graphical fidelity and textures for Local MP instances.

That's why I'm disappointed in what Playstation has become...It used to be a platform I'd invite a bunch of friends over and play games with.

Dark_king3700d ago

Yeah LBP,RFoM and many other Sony games didn't have local co-op.

deviouslight3700d ago

Even uncharted had some form of split screen play

CernaML3700d ago

I must have imagined those split screen modes in Twisted Metal, Gt5, Gt6 and even Killzone 3....

djplonker3700d ago (Edited 3700d ago )

Not true the ps4 can use a vita as a second controller and screen making it a better choice than the xbone...

Master-H3700d ago

Load of crap, say that to my copies of Little Big Planet 1 and 2 , PS ALl Stars, Modnation Racers/LBG Karting, GT.

dedicatedtogamers3700d ago

Article is about Titanfall, so you decide to go all Sony Too(tm) and not even discuss the topic?

PONTIAC08G8GT3700d ago

@dedicated

Yet you care to troll with your earlier post.

"A multiplayer-only game that does not support split-screen? At least they're giving this system-seller away for free."

Hypocrisy at it's finest.

I agree that it is too bad that that mode of gaming seems to be disappearing. Spilt screen MP offline and online for campaign, coop and competitive is a great feature if you have friends over or have a family. I used to love playing Halo MP online and coop campaign with my son via split screen.

It seems that the distancing between people caused by social media and mobile (i.e. people in the same damn house texting each other) has had an effect on games as you see split screen less and less. Damn you Apple ;)

LexHazard793700d ago

Since Xbox Live my coop gaming has been exclusively online. I started my family young so I preferred keeping the fellas as far away as possible!

thehitman3700d ago (Edited 3700d ago )

I agree best times I had multiplayer wise is with my friends next to me. Last gen that feeling was completely gone and I hated it. There is too much focus on online gaming that offline and split screen has completely taken a back seat.

Volkama3700d ago (Edited 3700d ago )

Titanfall was always unlikely to feature splitscreen though, because it has no playable offline modes.

That means a splitscreen game would still have involved joining a full online game. While doing so is very possible, it would mean very few cutbacks or comprimises could be made to accommodate the extra workload.

Basically the overhead for a splitscreen mode would have to be baseline and the fullscreen game would be diminished for it. Respawn seem to be struggling to get the quality they want out of the box as it.

Maybe a 30frames per second, reduced detail split screen mode could have been achieved if they considered it any kind of priority, but split screen is quite a niche demand these days.

3-4-53700d ago

Only people still making High quality couch/local co-op games are Nintendo.

That is one thing they've always done really well.

PsylentKiller3700d ago

Couch co-op is great for some games but not all. Fps games are horrible most of the time. Sports games, fighting games, platformers, adventure games, and racing games are usually better suited for split screen. Halo and goldeneye were great with quad screen because there was no service like Xbox live or PSN.
I don't mind that Titanfall is missing this feature but at the same time I don't want this feature to disappear from all games entirely. I just think there is a time and a place for everything. Titanfall is not the place for split screen at this time.

ichdich3700d ago

am loving respawn(Old Infinity Ward) more and more every damn single day atleast they are not thinking of how to gain more money while they can do that easily i love it when u buy every single DLC and to choose weather to Buy this one or no

AstroCyborg3700d ago

not including a season pass just shows they are just wanting more money season passes are great deals since you get all dlc at a discounted price

sAVAge_bEaST3700d ago

????

I buy a season pass,, to save 10 bucks. (except CoD, since I skip the last map pack.)

Not giving you the option is actually b$.... Since this is Multi-Only.. I was under the impression that DLC would be free, seeing as it/s part of the full game,.

Aces173700d ago

They messed up with no season pass, I would have brought that right along with my copy.

Shadonic3700d ago

that would of been a rip off. Charging you for new maps that will most likely be key in the progression of the online story thing they are doing. It would basically be you paying 60 bucks for just the online mode with 13 maps. DLC should be free on this one.

Aces173700d ago

I guess people disagree that I would have brought it along with my copy.

bestofthebest3700d ago

I think there is going to be a lot of dlc that's why they didn't go with the season pass. I can see this game being supported for 2 years with dlc.

Tedakin3700d ago

I'm done with season passes. I used to get them when hype was huge at the launch of a game, then by the time the actual content started rolling out, I was long past being interested in that particular game.

SWayne3700d ago

You hit the point correctly sir. I too am done with season pass.

Shadonic3700d ago

That's what happened with me and Halo 4 the hype was so intense. Couldnt stop myself everyone jumped in giving support to the new developers than the game bombed with the community drastically dropping. By the time DLC came out more than 50% of the population was gone.

micx3700d ago

I'm done with most of the DLC.

CertifiedGamer3700d ago

I prefer to pay $50 for a season pass than pay $150 in dlc and this game has already been confirmed to have dlc so at the end of the day, it is still EA.

The_KELRaTH3700d ago

Don't want season passes or DLC - just sell me a physical proper expansion pack like it used to be.

4Sh0w3700d ago

Yeah I can't think of any good games that don't have DLC, especially every big release.

Either way you can't please everyone, but I got an idea don't buy the game if you don't think that content is worth $60 and if you are satisfied enough to buy it for $60 you don't NEED to buy any DLC.

zeronhero3700d ago

Problem is, season passes cause single dlc content prices to jack up, since publishers want you to spend as much money on them as possible, if they can force you into getting season passes, in the BS excuse of you getting a "Deal out of it".

Tedakin3700d ago

What game doesn't have DLC?

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.

MadLad585d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g584d ago (Edited 584d 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.

Ethereal866d ago

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.

littletad865d 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.

Ethereal863d 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.
