Titanfall Build Up and Running on PS4, Going Multiplatform says Insider

Well known industry insider Tidux has revealed some startling inside details regarding Respawn Entertainment sci-fi shooter, Titanfall.

[Neonridr]

Maybe sometime down the road perhaps. But no way MS would pay for for an exclusivity of like 6 months.

[Godmars290]

Bioshock and Mass Effect say hi?

Not that it should really matter given the overall low quality of the game. From graphics to story and even game modes.

[u got owned]

E3 announcement incoming... Titanfal PS4 1080p 60fps launching fall 2014.

[georgeenoob]

@Godmars

Only reason Mass Effect went multiplatform was cause it was originally published by MS, but then EA bought Bioware and the publishing rights. How does that scenario apply to this one?

Titanfall was already confirmed by IGN to be a lifetime X1 exclusive as part of an MS deal. The deal wasn't for timed exclusivity, it was for full exclusivity. http://m.ign.com/articles/2...

Titanfall 2 may release on PS4, but not Titanfall 1.

[truefan1]

LOL isn't this the guy "confirming" that sony E3 lineup. EA and Respawn don't want those lawsuits, Titanfall 1 is on MSFT platforms only, Titanfall 2 will be multiplat, ACCEPT IT.

Oh the hearts of some of you holding on to some simmer of hope for Titanfall, just let it go. EA has too many games on xbox xonsoles to make MSFT an enemy. EA and Respawn have both confirmed TITANFALL 1 IS EXCLUSIVE TO MSFT PLATFORMS FOR THE GAMES LIFETIME. Also I thought you all were going to get it on PC anyway.

[listenkids]

The difference is way more than 6 months, to be fair.

[sobotz]

Keep dreaming bro, it won't happening soon. Maybe 4-5 years later, when Titanfall 2 is released.

And anyway, low quality game with Meta-score higher than Infamous or any shooter for the past 5 months? oh dear you stretching it

[NewMonday]

remember EA saying to shareholders the first game is XB1 exclusive for it's"lifetime", I think this could only be the game engine as Respawn prep for Titanfall2.

now that the franchise is going multi-platform perhaps we can have some fanboy-free discussion about the game. it needs more players, more contet, better visuals, a full SP campgain and no bots.

[Biggest]

The difference here is that Microsoft funded EVERY facet of the game at some point. Mass Effect and Bioshock were timed exclusives due to funding for timed exclusivity. . . Maybe. I agree with Neonridr. I do not see Microsoft investing so much into one game for a 6 month period of exclusivity. Furthermore, I would see Microsoft paying AGAIN to keep it exclusive based on the fact that Titanfall would see more on the PS4 if released in the next 3-6 months. Microsoft is often deluded, but they aren't outright stupid.

[InMyOpinion]

It's a good game but not my cup of tea at all. If I wanted to play it I would've bought an XB1 instead of the PS4.

Great for people who like these types of FPS's though.

[Neonridr]

@Godmars290 - did you read my comment? How much longer did Mass Effect and Bioshock come to the PS3? Mass Effect 1 took 5 years to show up on the PS3, Bioshock took 13 months. I specifically said 6 in my statement - even though you clearly didn't read that.

I never said that it wasn't coming, merely that it wouldn't be until 2015.

[Godmars290]

@sobotz & Others:
What is it with fanboys and inability to comprehend?

It doesn't matter whether or not its TF1 or TF2, if/when the game shows up on the PS4 that in itself is going to be enough.

As for the tired old argument of metacritic or review scores in general equating to quality when the last COD likely received high scores but still has game breaking bugs - f**k it. You deserve what you get.

Just stop trying to argue when you have nothing to argue with.

@Neonridr:
Likewise to what I just said; does it really matter whether its six months to supposedly not at all if TF1 actually does show up on the PS4?

Sure you'll be able to retain some worthless shred of fanboy dignity in the coming years by repeating over and over in other pointless forum "discussions" that it didn't happen within a six month window, but that wont change the fact that if it happens it will have happened.

[ZodTheRipper]

These were exclusive for much longer than a few months ...but I agree, the game looked interested when it was revealed but after seeing the final build I could. not. care. less. about a PS4 release.

[tehpees3]

@ truefan 1

This is how a contract with a publisher tends to work. A game is put on sale exclusively for that platform and if it meets the required sales target it then a contract can be terminated at ANY POINT! Titanfall is well known to have not met EA's expectations. Actually their multiplats are confirmed to not be meeting their expectations on XBO.

If Titanfall didn't sell enough the contract is allowed to be cancelled. See Zombi U on Wii U as another example. It didn't meet Ubisoft's expectations and Rayman Legends went multiplatform as a result.

[MysticStrummer]

All they have to do is include any DLC, call it Titanfall Ultimate, and release on both XB1 and PS4, but for me it wouldn't make a difference. I've seen enough to know it isn't my kind of game, just like most shooters. Not a bad game by any means, just not my style.

[TheTwelve]

This *should* surprise nobody but it will surprise many and there are those who will still not believe this.

It's all about the money. If enough money can be made, anything (and I mean anything!) is possible.

[Neonridr]

@Godmars290 - ok let's set something straight here too. I own a PS4, I do not own an XB1. While I do own a 360, I don't own nor have I played Titanfall on it. I haven't touched my 360 since I got my PS4.

Your out of context or misinterpretation of my original comment is what started this whole debate in the first place. They reported that TF is coming to the PS4. I said maybe sometime down the road perhaps, but don't expect it this year. Which would put it at a year or later in terms of exclusivity. You were the one who brought up ME and Bioshock which didn't help defend your cause, only support mine.

In the end it's a good thing. Game scored very well (you clearly don't own it) and has sold very well too. More gamers get to play the game, everyone wins.

[BlackTar187]

Truefan,

M$ can't afford to make EA an enemy. XBOX and MS need EA more then EA need MS.

Think about an XBOX without future EA games. All the sports nuts will not just stop playing those games they will go to where the games are being released.

MS has a whole heckuvalot more to lose then EA.

[scott182]

I would buy it if it had a single player component, maybe TF2 will. Looking forward to seeing it on PS4!

[johndoe11211]

Yeeeaaahhh so i'm not buying it. No way in hell is microsoft going to allow a game that they helped fund, a game that the publisher came out and said is exclusive for its lifetime, to be published on another competing platform.

If they said titanfall 2 then yeah, I'd believe that but not this first one. I'm not saying it's impossible, I just don't believe this rumor. If it does happen, well, good for everyone who is interested in playing it.

[tehpees3]

@ johndoe11211

People said the same thing about the GTA IV DLC. Titanfall, like the GTA IV DLC is not funding the game. It is a payment for exclusive rights.

The only occasion where funding and publishing a game has happened is with Ninja Gaiden II. Tecmo built Sigma 2 around the Sigma engine which is how they were able to cheat a PS3 release for the game.

Titanfall is absolutely a money hat. That was obvious when Microsoft was confirmed to tamper with the contract after we all knew going multiplatform was inevitable. They only made EA a payment for exclusive rights. EA then use that money towards the game. Funding and publishing the game yourself is a completely different matter.

EA being the publisher here may have found a way around things like with Mass Effect.

[forcefullpower]

They could have a clause with MS that says if they don't get above 1 millions sold they can port it to other systems. The other could be MS doesn't want to pay for the lost revenue they had in the contract with EA due to low sales so they have torn the contract up and let EA port ot to PS4.

I have it on PC and still dont think its that great anyway. But at least my mates would have something else to play as BF4 is to laggy and Ghosts is just shit.

But then again the new COD comes out in November.

[Edsword]

I thought MS paid for lifetime exclusivitivity for TF1. Maybe the contract had a minimum sales clause. If X number not sold by X date, kind of thing. I could definitely see that happening in that kind of agreement.

[Godmars290]

@Neonridr:
"Game scored very well (you clearly don't own it) and has sold very well too."

Neither do you by the way you describe your console preferences - what does that have to do with anything? Also by EA's own admission while the title did not sell very well but has enough interest to continue further it, again, what is the actual point you're trying to make?

[Ghost_Nappa]

What story? You mean that none sense shouted at you during campaign matches?

[Neonridr]

@Godmars290 - that it coming to PS4 is a good thing, means more people get to play it. You stated that it was a low quality game, I simply digressed, saying that many critics and fans like the game.

I already told you I don't own nor have I played Titanfall, do you even read my comments before you reply?

[Vegamyster]

Lacking content and story yes but graphically (At least of the PC) its not a bad looking game and the gameplay itself is very tight, low quality isn't a good word.

[morganfell]

X1 exclusivity may have been dependent upon a certain number of new gen sales within a 30 day period. There were obvious signs X1 version sales were not going as planned when the game did not top even 1 of the charts at the 4 largest US retailers on launch day.

EA would doubtless protect themselves with some sort of sales clause and we likely see that here

[HammerKong]

but this wont be happening with titanfall because this game was helped to maked buy ms more than ea and all ,so atleast the first game is not going multiplatform ,yeah 2nd one can go multiplatform but not this one,u people use to take insiders very seriously right?

[amazinglover]

Both of those where timed exclusives allowing them to be brought to PS after a set period of time. Titanfall was basically funded by MS in the later stages and worked out a lifetime deal with EA the publisher if it does come to PS4 it will be it's sequel.

[Godmars290]

@Neonridr:
I'm just failing to understand the criticism of not having played the game, by someone who also hasn't played the game.

I mean while we literally both agree that the game being available on other platforms is only a good thing, you seem to have a particular bug up your butt about when it happens as if that really matters.

Likewise you insist that this game you've never played is only great - according to those who have played it - and all I'm saying is that by what I've seen and heard is that its narrative was played with as fast loose and lazy as a 1930 pulp fiction. That Respawn should be given no credit for sticking to "artistic license" when they under delivered then later patched in game modes.

[Dir_en_grey]

I agree, still not interested if it's going to be an incomplete unfinished low quality game like the XBone version.

[system22]

bioshock and mass effect weren't nearly as important to ms as titanfall.

and for as shitty as ps4 fanboys seem to think titanfall is, its STILL outselling inFamous by a lot... on a console selling less than the ps4.

[choujij]

@Georgenoob Oh, IGN said it!? It must be true!

I've learned to take these exclusivity arrangements with a grain of salt ever since the PS2 days. I remember Tecmo explicitly saying Dead or Alive 2 was a Dreamcast exclusive. But then magically Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore was released on PS2. Pretty much the same game with a different name.

So I really wouldn't be surprised if something like Titanfall: Hardcore Edition was released for PS4 with minor changes to the game. But I gotta say, if Titanfall 1 in any shape or form does end up on the PS4 and PS3, it would be devastating blow for Xbox fans.

[mikeslemonade]

Told ya so.. Titanfall Sigma confirmed.

We all know from the three camps the company that uses the word "exclusive" the most loosely is Microsoft. They were the first ones who started to coin games as exclusive or the word "only on xbox" for timed exclusives.

I like that clause theory that it would have only been exclusive based on X xbox sales or it was never a full exclusive anyway and better yet a timed exclusive.

As for me personally I don't like the 6 v 6. The idea of the game is fine but execution of this game is very mediocre. 1080p and 60 frames still gonna be bad looking with those inferior graphics.

[InTheLab]

Any PS gamers interested in this game should understand that it is not a complete game and should have been delayed a year.

The good news is, those of you that do own it like myself can get a nice trade in credit at Gamestop for $41 so you won't feel ripped off.

What is there is decent but it is not a full priced game and you'll probably go back to playing whatever shooter you were playing once you finish the story mp and have unlocked the only Titan that's worth a damn.

10 pilot weapons
6 titan weapons
very few attachments
burn cards are capped at 3 per match

This game could have been epic with more content and maybe a less generic set of maps and characters. As-is, it's $20 dlc.

[CuddlyREDRUM]

They say hi from a year or more down the road, which was his point.

[illustratedDEO]

Also the Ninja Gaiden series and DOA, next would be Dead Rising 3.

[Neonridr]

@Godmars290 - we both agree then, let's leave it at that :D

I totally understand that 3rd party exclusivity is almost always not a permanent thing. I was only trying to say that MS wouldn't have spent a boatload on timed exclusivity unless it was going to be worth their while. A year seems like a reasonable amount of time. In the end, you are right, it is irrelevant. If it comes to the PS4, then bonus. If not, then there is always TF2.

[AntoineDcoolette]

Bhut bhut Respawn said Titanfall and its online bots was only possible on the one because of MS's dedicated servers and the power of the cloud!

/rolleyes

[andibandit]

@Godmars

A contract between ms and respawn says hi

[ALLWRONG]

Playstation fans want Xbox games. Who knew?

[AliTheSnake1]

They did say it will never come out to PS4. So all that was Marketing BS ?
Anyhow, the game is super overrated for 60 bucks. Maybe the sequel would be worth it.

[Eonjay]

My goodness this thread is something to behold. People are freaking out.

[Omegasyde]

Lol publisher doesn't mean jack #%@#%@

Want examples?

Ninja Gaiden!
Mass Effect 1
Joe Danger: The Movie

That is Why if Sony really wants to keep exclusives it will purchase all of the IP's associated with it. Microsoft is catching on by purchasing the Gears of War IP.

Unless you have the exact details of the agreement between Microsoft and EA (THE ACTUAL contract), you all are just assuming.

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

I really don't understand why PS users want a port of this game when PC and Xbox users themselves admit that the game is pretty boring.

"Titanfall has been out for ~2 months. Now that the hype is gone...How is the game?"

http://www.reddit.com/r/Gam...

[Pogmathoin]

Crazy season starting already.......people.... Go take time out all and play the games you claim to play...blacktar..... Stop calling out people too, you sound like you could me many others too.....be glad we have this medium.... Simple....

[Amsterdamsters]

To u got owned...my PC version has been doing that since release. Why do you console only gamers keep bragging about the PS4 doing 1080p?!? My nearly 2 year old PC is more powerful and in a year or so, I'll build a new one that will smoke the consoles multiple times over and still be able to play any of the millions of games available.

I also own all of the consoles for their exclusives, but stop bragging up 1080p PS4 games that are also on the PC, it just looks foolish.

[thorstein]

The pic is old and of course it contains PS dev kits. Why wouldn't it? Respawn planned on making Titanfall Multiplat. EA saw dollar signs from MS and went that way.

So, of course there is Titanfall Code for PS. They make games over the course of years. It was only recently that MS bought exclusivity so they can it.

[GribbleGrunger]

@morganfell:

I'd say you are right. There's a reason for MS giving the game away for nothing and reducing the price of the console to help drive sales.

[WilDRangeRrfc]

I have PS4 and X1 TF is the best MP game I have ever played 75 awards and counting 9/10 10/10 across the board and the highest metacritic next gen game so far gtfo

[WilDRangeRrfc]

I own PS4( collecting dust ) and X1 TF is the best MP shooter I have ever played,75 awards and counting 9/10 10/10 across the board,highest rated next gen game on Metacritic says hi,your so butthurt it's obvious,your trolling shows one thing,your jealous and butthurt,oh and Sunset Overdrive says hi that's not going to PS4 either,real gamers and not hate filled vile fanboys like 80% of people on N4G will buy both if they can afford,I'm playing Infamous Titanfall Killer Instinct BF4 getting TLOU for the first time on PS4 ( never played excited ) while you all argue like kids,both are great Xbox is winning on AAA games which is all I care about,f2p and Indies can gtfo

[tuglu_pati]

We all know Titanfall will come to PS4 at some point, the question is will it be Titanfall 1 or 2.

[MasterCornholio]

I dont think it will be the first one. I'm pretty sure the second one will come to the PS4. Respawn and EA can't ignore the PS4s install base unless Microsoft pays then millions to do so.

[jairusmonillas]

The first one can still be ported if EA and MS deals somehow fails on sales target or something like if it gets low sales they can port it 6 months

[u got owned]

@jairusmonillas

where are you getting this from. Link or it never happened.

[arkard]

They very well could have a clause in the contract that states if sales don't = X over Y months then exclusivity is lost.

[nerdman67]

Titanfall is awesome, it should always have been on every console.
They should be wary though, most PS4 owners have made it clear they think Titanfall is terrible and are happy the PS4 doesnt have it.

[BlackTar187]

It's true. To deny that such clauses exist in every type of contract from Sports to sponserships to rights is ignorant.

I don't know if this is true but there ae a million ways for contracts to be written to protect the biggest party.

[Copen]

I have to believe EA protected themselves with a sales clause in the contract. Titanfall has not sold like EA and MS though it would and as a result here we are. The only reason EA even made the deal was because they thought after last gen that MS would be the market leader so the exclusivity contract seemed like a slam dunk but things haven't unfolded that way and the sales gap is only widening from here on out so it's in EA's best interest to get the game on as many consoles as possible to reap the benefits from exposing their product to more consumers so despite the fanboy logic and the arguments EA is worried about EA and if that means bringing TF to the PS3/PS4 then they will absolutely do it even if it pisses MS off. Either way MS loses because while they funded the game all that money is wasted because it's a guarantee that all further installments of TF will be on Sony's platforms and maybe other systems multiplat is a given and the fact that MS paid for it has to be devastating to MS they have to be livid that despite their best efforts they lose a exclusive game. But this is just the start of a trend that'll see less true exclusives than ever before and not just because MS isn't the market leader able to dictate terms and pay for exclusivity. Triple A development costs are through the roof and it makes fiscal sense to get you product as much exposure as possible and that can't happen tied to one console.

[jacksons98]

PS4 will probably get Titanfall with all the DLC included like PS3 and previous 360 games. Then shortly after Titanfall 2 will release.

[XStation]

@Copen Uh, no; Sony actually didn't want Titanfall at first on the PS4, they wanted it on the PS Vita actually.

[Charybdis]

They financially assisted with the development of titanfall, but don't own the ip. Will be interesting to see how the online server platform will or will not be implemented on the ps4. This could be positive or negative promotion for Microsoft Azure platform . Both pc and xb versions use azure servers don't think the ps4 will use same servers .

[jukins]

Azure is not the only "cloud based server system" plenty of companies out there that could provide the servers.

[Charybdis]

@jukins
Exactly! Will be interesting to see what and if there would be performance and reliability differences with a game which relies on azure servers.

[johndoe11211]

As far as I know sony has a very good relationship and business arrangement with Rack Space so that should not be a problem.

[StoneyYoshi]

Considering the Azure servers arent holding up very well. I have it on PC, and i feel like I'm playing COD all over again.

Matchmaking is broke as hell and it still lags with that all mighty and powerful cloud. What is the damage with putting a damn server browser in the game for dedicated servers?? Is that too much freedom for us PC players??

[Copen]

MS has successfully tricked consumers including you that they have the ONLY infrastructure with the cloud and the benefits those servers provide. Sony had dedicated servers for games last gen and they have some for this gen as well. MS isn't the only one with dedicated servers despite what you may have been told. Sony has used Rackspace for server solutions in the past and they're using them now so the server solution even if it's not on MS's Azure will be the same on Sony's platform it's not a problem.

[Charybdis]

@Copen
Microsoft does have the resources and infrastructure available to support their claim with regional data centers. Azure +/- 14 data centers 10 regions (+plans for 5 more regions) compared to Rackspace 9 data centers in 6 regions (probably also planning for more regions). While Microsoft isn't the only one with such a large cloud infrastructure; It is the one readily offering and promoting it with its console across multiple regions.

Ofcourse Sony can partner up with multiple parties in order to increase their 'infrastructure'/avail ability in different regions but that doesn't seem very likely. Also remember they are rumoured to use custom servers in order to emulate ps3 games for ps now.

[rdgneoz3]

As below mentioned, there was Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Also, it could be that they're starting work on the sequel and getting what they currently have done on the xbone, working on the PS4. And they never said a sequel wouldn't come out by the end of the year.

[Dewitt]

Mass Effect 1 was funded by MS when under contract by MS. After EA bought them they forced the game to go multi. Bioshock was because the PS3 development was way behind so MS paid for a year exclusivity.

[cardgenius]

And with each of those games, the creators said vehemently that they would never come to PS3. But they did.

[Jazz4108]

Why is it that you guys do not want microsoft to have any 3rd party exclusives? They funded this game. I do not see this happening when sony buys exusives from third partys where ms fans are every day coming up with articles on why its coming to there platforms. Are you guys this jealous of ms? If you want the game its out go buy it and quit spreading stupid rumors.

[StoneyYoshi]

@ Jazz

Oh please there was always somebody starting a rumor about weather or not MGS4 was going to come over to the 360 for years!

"I do not see this happening when sony buys exusives from third partys where ms fans are every day coming up with articles on why its coming to there platforms."

Every day??? LMAO get off your high horse man. The main reason this is getting so much attention is the fact that this is EA we are talking about. One of the largest 3rd party publishers in the world for gaming, and it just amazed people how EA pulled an exclusive deal with MS.

Name one other game published by EA that was exclusive to one console. Cant find one?? What a shocker!

[CYCLEGAMER]

That would be messed up, especially considering that MS helped them get the game off of the ground. You would at least think they would wait for the sequel before going multiplat.

[choujij]

Not if it failed to meet sales expectations. This could very well be "Plan B".

[ziggurcat]

@ neondir:

the first mass effect was partially funded by MS game studios, and it still ended up on the PS platform, so anything is possible.

[Jazz4108]

Ms said after five years of exclusitivity they were fine with sony getting to enjoy mass effect. That's straight from ms. They will not be giving up there investment in titanfall 1 for many years.

[Kribwalker]

Microsoft paid to develope the game, not just for exclusiveness

http://fauxbuzz.com/2014/04...

I can see MS allowing it to go on PS4 to recoup some of their cost, and make money on every copy sold, much like the way they will with Destiny (seeing as they still have equity in bungie) . That way MS and EA are both happy

[ziggurcat]

@ kribwalker:

the MS game studios logo is not on the box, so they did not pay to develop the game.

that, and the article you linked is full of conjecture as there not a shred of evidence pointing to any lack of cooperation/openness from sony.

[trouble_bubble]

Every quote and press release out there implies MS were quite territorial over MassEffect. They didn't let it go so PS owners could enjoy ME1, lol. They'd brag the opposite:

"The original Mass Effect is absolutely an Xbox 360 exclusive, making Xbox 360 the only place to get the full Mass Effect experience.”
http://www.thesixthaxis.com...

"The Microsoft representative also noted that those who want the full Mass Effect experience--Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2--will only find it on the Xbox 360. BioWare will not be bringing the original Mass Effect title to Sony's console."
http://www.cnet.com/news/mi...

EA bought BioWare and obviously re-secured their IPs and tied up loose ends like ME1. They either bought back the distribution rights or the MS contract expired and MS wasn't given the option to buyout ME like they bought out Gears of War from Epic. EA wanted it and took it. MS wasn't gonna argue amidst negotiating for what would become Titanfall.

[ramiuk1]

i expect with the amount of sales its got and the amount of sales it could of had,with the way EA are i fully expect it to be true.

they are too greedy and prob gave MS half there money back and said screw ya exclusive rights.
either that or they will do a Definative version or just call i something else and give MS first dibs on DLC etc like COD.

problem is with multiplatform developers,they cant refuse the numbers,they need to make money and its what shareholders want

[OrangePowerz]

The exclusive deal is for Titanfall, they can always release Titanfall: Ultimate Edition or whatever they want to call it. Just like FF13 Versus was exclusive but FF15, the same game in content but not in name, is not exclusive.

That's the thing with exclusive contracts in most cases when they are for a single game they are void once you change the name. Not sure MS would be too pleased with their partner, but EA just cares about their money and not about their relationship with others as we have seen with Nintendo. Going from "unprecedented partnership" very quickly to "no games for you".

[MightyNoX]

I see it similar to Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Black. Release a few reskinned levels, stick a name like Titanfall: Delta and they could probably worm out of Micrsofts clause.

[Josh101]

This is absolutely correct. They worded Titanfall exclusivity VERY sneakily. "Exclusive for the life of the title/game." As coincidence would have it, the ESRB rates "Game of the year editions or Definitive editions" that include the base game AND DLC as brand new games. That is because they have a brand new SKU and are deemed a new game altogether. Titanfall will absolutely be released on the PS4. But that doesn't make a difference to me. I would never pay over $20 for online only game.

[Visiblemarc]

I wonder, though, if the agreement didn't have sales minimums built in. If so, this might be an "out" to reduce the duration of the exclusivity.

Either way, I think it's obvious that no 3rd party is thrilled with going exclusive anymore, they're all trying to build brand-kingdoms and chasing insane sales. Every publisher wants to sell big across all platforms and set up future sales for sequels. So, that said, EA is definitely pulling any and all tricks out it's bag to get on to PS4 asap, especially due to it's record sales.

[bobtheimpaler]

I just don't care. Played it on pc for a couple of days and the novelty wears thin very quickly. Just another casual shooter combined with everything wrong with modern shooters. Still prefer quake 3 and unreal tournament.

Not to say its bad, it can have its moments but it is all style and little substance.

[Armadilo21]

maybe Titanfall Redux or Titanfall complete Edition just to change the name and maybe loophole for this

[imt558]

I hope that is true, for Axios2 sake. He will carefully keep an eye on Titanfall's sales numbers. :)

[Mr-Dude]

I really don't care about this game. I'm a singleplayer guy, so nice for the people who want it. But for me personally, I don't give really

[Angeljuice]

Does anybody even care about this game anymore? As a PS4 owner I haven't given this over-hyped lackluster title a second thought.

I think most PlayStation owners who want this game to come to their preferred platform don't want to play it, they just want Microsoft to lose face by being unable to keep hold of an exclusive.

I could be wrong.

[Josh101]

Yeah, they kinda burned a bridge they were building with the exclusive deal. I know I won't be purchasing it because it is online only. But also more-so because of the exclusive deal at the last minute. Remember even the developers were surprised.

[Neonridr]

that would be a terrible way of thinking if that were true so I hope you are wrong. Is that what we have come to? I can't play it, so I would rather less people get to play it on your system by it going multiplatform? Weirdest logic I have ever heard.

Lots of people care about this game, that's why it has sold quite a few units. It coming to the PS4 means that MORE people get to enjoy it (assuming they like that type of game).

It's not their studio, so it's not an exclusive. It's no different for Sony. 3rd party exclusivity is almost always timed. MS doesn't own Respawn, so they can't enforce that.

[calis]

Xbox fanboys are on Sunset Overdrive now anyway.

[Qrphe]

Im still playing it. Just got The Show so I may decrese my activity on it.

[choujij]

Yup. Among other consoles, I have a gaming PC, PS4 and Xbox 360. I have no desire to buy this over-hyped game on any platform I own.

I just want to see what M$ has to say when they explain: "wha' happened?".

[FITgamer]

Impoossible. According to some on N4G Titanfall isn't possible on PS4 without "the cloud" ;)

[Magicite]

Tidux plays a dangerous game :D
But on a serious note, this might be a shock for quite some people, if turns out to be true.

[choujij]

+1 Bubble.

[Patrick_pk44]

It was a terrible mistake from EA. They most likely thought the Xbone would sell more units than the PS4, which didn't happen by a large margin. We all knew Titanfall would not be passed over to Microsoft as an exclusive. It has a lot of potential and would double the sales of the game.

[iKenny]

Microsoft probably had an exclusive with EA/Respawn depending on how much was sold during its first few days or weeks and if it wasn't met in their contract or clause then it would go multi platform.

[kenshiro100]

Microsoft likes to waste money so I wouldn't be surprised if they did that.

[brich233]

Microsoft can sell the exclusivity back to ea, they did it with Mass effect 1.

[Zombro]

All I have to is gooser challenge I hate you

[Evilsnuggle]

I said this yesterday and got a bunch of down votes from fanBoys. EA could just release a Titanfall 1.5 or definitive edition on PS4 . Why not just add a single player 4 hour campaign to Titanfall and sell it on the PS4.

[Copen]

Like every contract I'm quite sure there's clauses within the contract most likely sales related saying that for the contract to be valid Titanfall had to sell X amount of copies and it has NOT done what EA and MS expected it to do to date it's not even sold 2 million copies and that's money down the drain for EA and MS. If EA knew then at they know now I guarantee you they never would've allowed it to be exclusive and cutting out the PS3 and PS4 they are undoubtedly losing money from that decision. Still I'm skeptical that it'll come to the PS4 or the PS3 for Titanfall 1 BUT it will definitely be multiplatform from here on out Respawn has said it and it makes sense from a money prospective to go multiplat. See this is where MS is in trouble okay since they aren't the market leader and are falling further behind every day their practice of "moneyhatting" exclusives won't be as easy or as cheap as it's been previously because AAA game development costs are skyrocketing and honestly going exclusive with any platform now more than ever makes no sense it's more money for everyone by going multiplat with any AAA game. And the other part is the smaller install base with regards to the Xbox One Sony's close and will reach a 2-1 advantage in hardware sales so even if MS tries to buy any game exclusive it's going to be a tough sell and id wager most publishers will say no because it's not worth excluding the platform with the bigger install base and the price to cover what money X game would sell on the platform with the 2-1 advantage would be astronomic and I think we'll see fewer true exclusives as this gen unfolds because of it.

[ZombieKiller]

GOOD! I like this game but I bought it on my 360. I don't play the 360 like that so having it on my PS4 would let me actually play it as much as I want to. I don't have friends on 360 like I do on PS, not to mention I just want to get rid of my 360 altogether but was hanging onto it FOR Titanfall.

If this is true, then goodbye Microsoft in my life. It's about time.

[Eonjay]

its really quite hard to know what the deal exactly entailed.

[imt558]

PROBABLY A TIDUX's PRANK to Pete Dodd :

https://twitter.com/Tidux/s...

[Delsin_Rowe]

You know it could be TitanFall 1 called with a extended name, have different maps from XboxOne. PlayStation maps only, exclusive DLC, 1080p 60 Frames, new character model, New extended name.

[ForgivenZombie]

They can add new maps and titans and give it a new name like Titanfall Future or something so it's not Titanfall. There's a lot of ways to get around a contract, it just can't be identical to the Xbox one game. Not saying it's a good thing, just saying there are ways around contracts, it's all about money you know.

[Da Ill One]

I wonder what's different enough for it to be on PS 4 (assuming this is even real). and by example I mean like Ninja Gaiden was a 360 exclusive, but Ninja Gaiden Sigma came out for PS 3, it was the same game but different enough that it didn't breach contract.

[-Foxtrot]

What about if it included all the modes and DLC on disc, I mean it would be classed as a different game then....right since it wouldn't be the same as what came out on the Xbox One/360/PC first

[Da Ill One]

Yes that's where I was going with this as well...maybe it's "Titanfall GOTY edition" for PS 4, and not "Titanfall"

[Josh101]

Exactly right. The ESRB rates "Game of the Year/Definitive" editions as brand new games with a brand new SKU. I've been parroting this since the exclusive deal was revealed. No-one listened.

[T2]

@Josh - I hear ya... no surprise if titanfall 1.5 comes to ps4... so many ways around that contract....

[younglj01]

To be honest that would be f'd up.

[younglj01]

If you brought Xbox One for TitanFall only and now we have an rumor it's running on the PS4 with the intent of releasing on the PS4. How is that not f'd up to those people? I'm sure 100-250,000 XB1 owners would be piss at EA and Respawn Ent if this is true.

I'm sure TitanFall and an PS4/XB1 at Christmas is better then an over-hype game in the spring. And yes it still the most over hype game even when it release on PS4. If TF was delayed until X-Mas of 2014 then we might would have seen records broken...

[ats1992]

Here we go again with this topic give it up already

[Dewitt]

This insider crap needs to stop, they are wrong over 50% of the time plus Respawn and EA said this is exclusive for the life of this title.

[mkis007]

Well this is one big gamble for this "insider." When someone goes all in on a easily verifiable claim I tend to start believing. Either this guy will be discredited soon or he will be 100% trustworthy for now on.

[Datruth187]

Like CBoat right lmfao

[mkis007]

yep exactly...there is no middle ground for tidux now...we will know if he is an insider if Titanfall 1 comes to ps4 ever.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

Tidux leaked info last year regarding the PS4's UI and OS months before Sony revealed them and he (Tidux) had provided accurate info.

[tuglu_pati]

More like 75% of the time.

[SoapShoes]

They never said anything about a complete edition and usually timed exclusive agreements include not being able to speak about upcoming platforms. A Sony employee even hinted at it coming to PS4. Icould care less because Planetside 2 is coming soon and it is way better anyway.

[Dirtnapstor]

I got a survey from EA about Titanfall, what consoles I owned, my critique of the game and would I recommend it to others.

Something's up...

[FanMan]

im not saying i believe this, but people have lied about games before

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Just like CBOAT the lucky guesses run out and they get banned. It took awhile because CBOAT kept giving Sony fanboys more BS fuel but eventually the truth came out and he was banned. And the dim-bulbs that followed him quickly shut up but here we are again and the dim-bulbs are back with the same rhetoric. Just mark this thread and lets thrash all the loudmouths after E3.

[mkis007]

I dont recall it saying E3 in the article...it is going to be exclusive for at least a year...

[-Foxtrot]

What else has Tidux leaked before?

[Majin-vegeta]

PS4 UI,Features of update 1.70

[-Foxtrot]

Ah right, well thanks. Here's a helpful bubble....since you probably lost one above.

[shallowpoint]

Maybe the sales numbers were missed that EA and MS agreed on. Allowing EA to go multi plat? If true of course.

[ramiuk1]

exactly my thought.
EA are to greedy to not have some kind of clause in a contract.

[younglj01]

I think if their contact main clause was about an certain amount of sales then MS drop the ball. That is one crazy loophole.

[iKenny]

BINGO...WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

[kingmushroom]

if it happens I'm gonna lol so hard.

[Xdone]

And ps4 fans are going to play it in a resolution above the shitty 792p lmao! This is even more lol worthy.

Lets hope it has a bigger player count and better textures for people who wanted higher player count.

Edit

I too have no interest in this game but good for those who wanted the definitive console edition. :)

[kingmushroom]

if they buy it. I'm not, there are great games coming out that deserve my money.

Edit: i don't see why it cant look good on the PS4.
but i have a feeling its gonna be the same game, because why would they make it look better than the Xbox one, Microsoft might not like that since there's sort of partnership with EA and who knows what else goes behind the scenes .

[ShowGun901]

it WILL be funny, but i still got too many games to play to buy this, too.

FFXIV, im looking at you!

[Speak_da_Truth]

Imagine if this is true and not only that but it performs better at 1080p/60fps LOL it would be so funny and btw i still wouldn't buy the game. Also, it would be so f*cked for those actually bought the xb1 for Titanfall.

[kingmushroom]

Yeah its gonna be TitanFall the definitive edition :P

[killzone619]

titanfall runs on MS cloud service. I doubt MS would allow a playstation game to run on THEIR servers...

[Gazondaily]

I highly doubt it now. It makes sense for the future titles to come to PS4 (which they have already been confirmed will appear on PS4) but with the likes of Destiny on the horizon...I doubt this would make a big impact.

It would be great if it came out on PS4 mind you.

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

Maybe they are getting familiar with PS4 by making a version of Titanfall for it. I doubt this will go multiplatform eventually since EA and Respawn have an agreement.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Naruto, the funniest thing that Titanfall 1 and 2 might be coming on PS4

So Sasuke Uchiha out!

[MasterCornholio]

"It would be great if it came out on PS4 mind you."

Why wouldn't it?

Just a curious question, why is poop tank your user name?

I highly doubt it means crapper tank though so what does it really mean?

[Dirtnapstor]

Yes, with an added campaign. Respawns reasoning for not having a solid campaign was weak. It would have delayed the project putting way past the X1's release even further.

[HugoDrax]

Why N4G? According to every Sony FANBOY on N4G, this game sucks anyway. So why oh why would PLAYSTATION N4G gamers care if it's releasing on PS4? The Hypocrisy from fanboys is hilarious.

Anyhow, I highly doubt TitanFall 1 will be released on PS4, especially with the marketing I've seen from this game. Now TitanFall 2 may be released on other platforms, which would be a good thing for people who can only get one console.

Now back I go to playing this weird Stick It To The Man game :-)

[Mikelarry]

lol watch how now some comments on here will be praising titanfall as the best thing since slice bread now that it "might" come to ps4 :)

if it does i will give this game a try and see what the hype is about

[BlackTar187]

Except no ones said anything like that so far.

[-Foxtrot]

I doubt it

My opinion would still be the same on it, I just know there's people who want the game. I wouldn't be selfish to go against what they want just because I don't like it.

[MightyNoX]

I'm in the same boat. I'm a man of principle and I refuse to buy EA games so even it came out on the PS4, I won't buy it.

Still I'm not selfish enough to deny those who want to play it.

[Darkfist]

nah, played on pc just cod with mech, also arent you all supposed to hate cod? i see alot of you praise advanced warfare.

[Kosmacz]

Honestly, most ppl who were criticizing Titanfall, were actually XBO users. As PS4 owner i was always willing to play this game as i like multiplayers (although i still think the graph is very average).

[WeAreLegion]

It'll be nice for those that want to play it and can't yet, but I'm personally over it. I'll wait until Respawn makes a single-player campaign. That's what I liked about the former Infinity Ward's Call of Duty titles, anyway.

[Dirtnapstor]

Demon Hunter! Nice!

[Roman3mPiRe86]

This is just freakn hilarious if true lol and I cant even wait to read the comments on that article confirming this is true.

[ats1992]

You must have a boring life If you get excited about a comment section.

[jmac53]

The pain emanating from your butt is immense.

[u got owned]

either that of he's just another internet troll

[Roman3mPiRe86]

@ats1992
It's not that big of a deal damn seriously. Does no one on here read comments? Are some not funny as sh*t to read? Do people not come here on their spare time? Relax xbot f*ck

[ats1992]

I'm not talking about the article my point is you are excited about a comment section which is sad. I could care less if this game goes multiplatform but it probably won't because they already said its not coming to ps4.

[Roman3mPiRe86]

@ats1992
so you think I'm just gona be eager and excited for those comments as if it was the release day for watch dogs or similar? Like I'm just gona sit here for that article to be posted? if that's the case ur an idiot. When the article gets posted (if it does) then I'll read the comments like any other person would and thats it. Its not that difficult u should try it. Just admit ur a blind brainless xbot move along... and yeah my life must be boring because u say so. Wut an idiot

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Dude can you not call people names? Are you like 12 years old keyboard tough guy.

[LogicStomper]

If you resort to abusive language towards others, it's a pretty good sign you need some time away from the keyboard.

[dansdooz]

i dont get it even vince said the first one was xbox only, fair game after that? im sure someone on twitter will clarify or its some tool blowing hot air.

[jmac53]

Maybe they will call it Titandrop and get around the exclusivity deal ;) more likely though there was probably a backdoor agreement for EA if the game didn't sell as expected the exclusivity would remain for 6 months or a year before coming to PS.

[ShowGun901]

"Prepare for TitanPlunge!"
"Prepare for TitanFlop!"
"Prepare for TitanSmash!"

[Xdone]

Prepare for Tita-Knack lol

[bleedsoe9mm]

Prepare for server crashes

[D3ATH_DRIV3R_777]

Prepare for titanclub! LOL

[Dirtnapstor]

They'll repackage the game with all the DLC content, add a few things from the cutting room floor and subtitle it.

[LordMaim]

I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who will be excited for this news. However, I'm still not that interested in the brand.

[Dirtnapstor]

It's a good shooter, but for me, it doesn't grip like BF or COD. There's a missing component to the MP...I just can't quite put my finger on it.

[EverydayGuy]

It's probably Titanfall 2.

http://venturebeat.com/2013...

[jukins]

Lol there's always a way out of any large company makes sure there's always a way put of a bad deal with as little as damage as possible. If true it could be something as simple as ea paying Microsoft flat out or pay royalties based on ps4 sales. Well see

[AceBlazer13]

You know what, I wist it does go multiplat. Then I can say how much this game failed without the only rebuttal being "You're just mad it ain't on PlayStation ".

The day Titanfall goes multiplat is the day all the false praise and hype dies along with exclusivity, not as though the hype isn't already dead for the game.

The game did nothing the media hyped it up for. It didn't revolutionize the genre, it didn't put CoD in it's grave, the hype was certainly not real and it was not the second coming.

[Fireseed]

Sells over a million copies... "how much this game failed"

Do you ever actually read the crap you type out before you hit Enter?

[Lucreto]

If they lose this exclusive after all the nonsense over the last few months no matter what exclusive they get from now on people won't believe them.

[Grimhammer00]

consider this: not saying this is true. i doubt it.

however...the lawsuit MS would bring would pail to the profits EA would reap! Who knows...with X1 selling not to MS desires - it might even benefit MS! lol

say $5 from every game sold on ps4 went to MS as part of the lawsuit win?

crazier things have happened! where is the 747? ;)

[ShowGun901]

nobody here knows the contract between the 2 companies. im sure there are multiple ways each company can get outta their end of the bargain completely legally.

companies don't stick their necks out without a plan B. Multi-plat would be EA's plan B. I make no judgements on whether it will go to ps4 or not, but if it did, im sure EA would know before hand whether or not they were within their legal rights, before they worked on a ps4 port.

Sales are probably EA's loophole, for example, if it sells below 5mil within 90 days, M$ loses exclusivity. These kinds of things are common, and i doubt EA would have signed a contract that left them NO wiggle room. They have lawyers too, ya know. And i'd bet they looked past the initial benefit, and planned for if sales were bad.

If you were EA, wouldn't you?

[windblowsagain]

The 747 ditched it's black box by insiders and the plane has landed.

[bondsmx]

I think I would probably pick this up for ps4. But it would really come down to release window. If it comes out in the holiday season with 10/15 other AAA games, I'll think twice. If it comes out summer (which I doubt) during the gaming dead season, I would def pick it up. But this holiday season with me pretty stacked. So hoping it releases sooner then later

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I hope PS4 owners do some day get to play Titanfall. In the mean time... I am playing Titanfall.

[q8kik]

i hope its tf2 not tf1 that comes to the ps4
tf had had barely above 0 content ...

[WeAreLegion]

I know you're talking about Titanfall 2, but I'd kill for Team Fortress 2 on PS4.

[mrpsychoticstalker]

Titanfall 2 not 1

[Bonkerz]

Didnt EA and Respawn already come out and say that Titanfall is exclusive to Microsoft? I know that TitanFall 2 is gonna be multiplat but if they have a contract and MS bought the rights to this game they cant really release it on PS4.

[QuickdrawMcgraw]

I hope they upgrade the game to Sony's standards...If not then leave it on the Xbox's....

[bleedsoe9mm]

titanfall on ps4 using EA or sony servers will be a complete mess , i still can't rely on playing BF4 when i want to play .

[Bennibop]

Battlefield servers on x1 are awful too, so not sure why the troll.

[bleedsoe9mm]

@Bennibop not a troll don't own BF4 on XB1 i own it on ps4 , i've had zero problems with titanfall on xb1 using ms servers , and BF4 didn't work yesterday using ea servers . i didn't own a 360 for 3 years , ps3 only since day 1 , and its my experience ms is better . hope if titanfall is on sony servers its great but its not my experience .

[welly300]

Hope its true

[HappyWithOneBubble]

LOL knew it was gonna happen. At E3 Sony will announce Titanfall coming to PS4 just watch. No one knows how much MS paid for exclusive deal but it sure wasn't enough. Titanfall is at 2.5m sold. Would be over 4m if it was on PS4 from the start and at least $100m in profit lost.

[ShadowKingx]

i would lol if sony did this. chances are it wont happen though, but sony did the unthinkable last year, so anything can happen.

[Relientk77]

Wow that would really suck for Microsoft

[AgitatedOcelot]

If they were smart they had a clause in their exclusivity contract based on sales.

Microsoft hyped the Xbox One as the machine that was going to dominate the generation with massive sales and a lot of people believed it. But it's time to face facts, the machine is a flop.

Trying to launch a brand new IP to compete with COD successfully on a machine that's a flop, when the lead platform for COD in the future has been stated to be the PS4, is not going to work.

If they want their IP to gain any traction, they need much more exposure than the million or so units they sold on Xbox One. Not that I care about Titanfall, nor will I be buying into it on any platform. I think it's going to be a failed IP regardless of what platform they release it on. But it's definitely got zero chance being an Xbox / Windows exclusive.

[Kingoftherodeo]

unless theres a clause that would end the exclusivity. as some of you have point out x amount of sales over a period of time. doubt ms is stupid to sign a contract like that and we all know the game is selling well. so unless EA and respawn want to get into a lawsuit fight with ms which we know would drag the crap out of it to try to milk both companies because thats what big companies do. i don't see titanfall on ps4 this year maybe 2015 and that would be titanfall 2 . besides i thought everyone on ps4 thought this game was crap and cod clone

[lonelyplayer]

I'm actually more interested in Sunset Overdrive.

[edwick]

i know it was said that this was a life of the title exclusive, which i always thought to mean "life of the title" meant until another titanfall game came out in some form...
but also, couldn't there be a stipulation to exclusivity based on sales numbers?
i don't know. i'll admit, i was upset when they made this exclusive, but it would never have swayed me to buy an xbox. i had no desire to talk to my tv when the remote is just as, if not more, convenient for me.

[hello12]

Sony didn't care for the game before it came out So whats changed? Microsoft had to fund the development of the first titanfall, so there is no way in hell, its coming to the PS4.

Second one better chance.

[MCTJim]

So TF is running on the PS4 in their offices...for some reason, it could be viable as they were hoping Sony would want the game..but they were not receptive to it..so they lost out.

This would be common sense.

Now Sony wants the game..so TF2 will be multi platform now. I hope the PS4 people will enjoy it as much as I do on the X1.

[ShadowKingx]

i dont think its about sony wanting the game, i think once they heard 7 million ps4's sold worldwide, those numbers just spoke for itself to EA.

i want to try to titanfall, but just not $499 bad, once EA announced that Titanfall 2 was coming to PS4, what a week after release Titanfall, it really killed it for anyone who was thinking about buying a Xbone for Titanfall. Not to mention PS4's were suddenly in stock when titanfall released anyway, thought that was funny too.

[MCTJim]

you cant count the number of PS4's really...Infamous SS did NOT sell 7 million copies..

Yes, remember the tweet from the Sony camp that was retracted? Sony does indeed want the game and who wouldn't? The game is just a good game regardless of the vocal minority. I welcome TF2 to come on the PS4/X1/PS3/360.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Titanfall 2 yes. First one doubt it, but tbh it isn't even that good.
If it came out on PS4 now I wouldn't buy it again, when other games such as BF4 I bought on both consoles.

[pop-voxuli]

CALLED IT!!

[OiNioB]

People wonder why we post articles from insiders, 1hr later and look at the comments, through the roof!

[Xavy]

Them 7+ mil PS4 are making EA Crazy =)

[Flames76]

Why is it making EA crazy?Second son only sold 1.1 million on a platform that sold 7 million untis.Titanfall has sold 1.7 million on the X1 with 5.1 million consoles sold.Even if titanfall was on the PS4 the numbers would had been terrible because the sony fanboys hates the game.Dont see why its making EA crazt at all?Hell their profits are up because of titanfall on the Xbox platforms

[Clown_Syndr0me]

You make a very good point. The game isnt even that good lol, I was so dissapointed in it.
It isnt a game changer. It should of been multiplatform from the beginning because it snt exactly a system seller? Or is it? I dont actually know the statistics lol.

[aragon]

I thought people didn't want titanfall on the ps? Titanfail, cod with mechs , rehashed shooter I thought people didn't want it on ps

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Titanfall 2 will come to PS4 at 1080p 60fps. But I'm not interested unless it has a campaign. A Titanfall game with a good story would be awesome.

[JEECE]

Good to know that PS4 can run the Source engine.

[XtraTrstrL]

LOL, I love how even the Titanfall devs can't help be excited about their game's potential on PS4. With all the money Microsoft has in the exclusive deal, it's funny to see Respawn bring up the potential for the game on PS4 so much, now even talking about a PS4 build already up and running. They can't wait for the exclusivity deal to end, you can tell.

[xDHAV0K24x]

how funny is it?

[XtraTrstrL]

pretty darn funny

[Clown_Syndr0me]

If thats your idea of humour you're weird. Its just business. They love money, not PS4 or X1. Money.

[DemonChicken]

Won't be a surprise for my personal, considering EA and their money grabbing skillz

[corvusmd]

Ok, fine by me, it's a great game and even though I've already hit 10th Gen I still love playing it. However, I'm not really sure this will create the sales boost some might think it will...of course there will be some. However, if we look at the number of gamers here that are PS4-only gamers (meaning they couldn't have already gotten it), then from that group subtract everyone that doesn't "detest" this game...there's really only a handful of people. It should be noted that this seems to be the only exclusive out there that the "other side" keeps wanting (then claims is stupid...just get both systems already..life is much better when you can play all the games you want). So either it wouldn't be very successful or it would only show that all the rage against this game was just jealous rage and nothing more. This would mean however that PSN would basically have to dedicate a large chunk of their limited dedicated servers to this one game.

It's an awesome game, the more the merrier. Of course the developer would like to sell it to as many people as possible, but at the same time it's already doing very well, in fact it's the game on the market right now that NEEDS this the least (doesn't mean they wouldn't do it). However, it's been established that MS has sole rights to TF1 for it's entire life...there would have to be a huge loophole to get around that....maybe one was found, but MS is usually pretty good about those things. Even still, it just feels like it will still be a "MS" game. Don't get me wrong PS4-Only owners will have fun with it too, it's a blast you'll enjoy it. However, Respawn/EA have openly said that MS saved this game, allowed it to be made, and that the use of their cloud servers is what allows it to run....none of this is a secret. Sure Sony has some dedicated servers, but nothing that matches MSs. Running this game would be a larger chunk of their resources. Not to mention when/if TF goes multiplat, I can see Respawn keeping XB1 the lead plat and giving them special treatment. I don't think I'd jump to PS4 to play this, I'll keep playing it and future TFs on XB1 and use my PS4 for other games.

Either way, this game is awesome and I'm glad it's enjoying the success it is, reaching more gamers can't be seen as anything but a plus. Since playing this game it actually feels like a chore to go back to COD and Battlefield which used to be two of my favorite games.

[xDHAV0K24x]

so when titanfall for ps4 outsells infamous, what will u kids say? hmmm...

[Gooch_suplex_Hold]

Nothing. I would too busy playing something else.

[LogicStomper]

I predict it will all be talk of graphics and frame-rate by then.

[Gooch_suplex_Hold]

I can hear the Meltdowns if true.

[GamersHeaven]

If true I don't really care good for people on PS4 who want to play it but I find it hilarious people saying TF1 will not come out on the PS4 who the hell knows what the term of EA/M$ contract agreement was.Very well could be they did sell the targeted numbers Microsoft promised them in any case if it does come would make sense considering the sequels will be on the PS4.

[feraldrgn]

If true, could it be that the reason MS got Titanfall so cheap, was because it was timed rather than forever exclusive as MS advertised?

[Flames76]

Its already been confirmed more than once by EA and respawn that the first titanfall is exclusive to the X1.No its not a timed exclusive and no you will never see it on the PS4.Its really not hard to understand whe nyou think about it.As far as the second titanfall thats a different story.By then EA will have ruined the franchise so it wont matter if it goes to the PS4

[Ginesis]

Lmao soo true!

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Just buy an Xbox One you cheap ass. This thread is marked to come back to after E3.

[Ginesis]

Haha im glad you said that cause I was thinking the same thing! And I really hope this comes back after E3!

[Atariz]

This can't happen, legally I dont see how they could do it. Titanfall 2 however? Most definitely

[Ginesis]

Im sure Microsoft has some pretty strict guidelines in that contract to prevent anything pertaining to Titanfall 1 from ever showing up on that system.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

LOL, this is so not going to happen.

[sgtGanGreen]

Titanfall on ps4? No. Maybe Titanfall 2

[Ginesis]

Dont be surprised...when this doesnt happen at E3. Why wont people let this thing die already the majority of PS4 owners dont even like this game! So; 1. Why should PS4 owners care? And 2. Why would Respawn care? Sure theres 7 million PS4 owners out there but just about all of them hate this game!

[SonyMontana]

PS4 is the better selling platform, of course they want to be on it. MS would have to pay 10's of millions in order to make up the difference in sales being lost to exclusivity on Xbone (and PC). It's simple mathematics, whatever strategy makes the most money for the dev and publisher is the strategy they will use. Especially when you consider the publisher (EA). Going multiplatform will make them MUCH more money.

[system22]

i could see titanfall being released multi platform for sure, especially with the popularity of the ps4 but not until a sequel comes around. MS paid waaaay too much money to have this exclusive and you can bet for the money they made sure it would hold for a point in time.

that said - I can tell you right now that i would be really surprised if the ps4 version ran at 1080p/60 fps. Maybe a sequel would be built differently to make that possible, i dunno but not in its current structure.

Its not as nuts graphically as say Killzone (which the multiplayer also doesn't run at true 1080p) but there is a lot of processing thats going on between AI, bg elements etc (a lot of this stuff is missing or scaled down in the 360 version). MS uses the cloud to process a lot of this stuff on x1/pc. PS4 does have a bit stronger graphics/mem capability, but this comes down to cpu processing and thats a bit of a bottleneck on the ps4 that i think would take a bit of a hit. this proved to be an issue on inFamous (which also isn't 60 fps) and explained why some of the AI etc behaved in glitchy fashion and it was tougher to optimize. that was taken from Suckerpunch's own mouths.

[XisThatKid]

My, How the Titan have fallen.

[abc1233]

Oh come on. Do people seriously think that MS would specifically say that Titanfall is an exclusive, not just a timed exclusive, if there was any chance of Titanfall coming to the PS4? Do you honestly think that MS gave EA all that money just for a few months of exclusivity?

[Tedakin]

Not to mention Respawn and EA themselves adamantly saying it's not coming to PS4 ever.

[SliceOfTruth888]

ROFL at the fanboys. First we have them saying TITANFALL stinks we dont want it anyway, now some insane rumor is started and everyone cant stop hoping its true. If anyone thinks this is happening they are insane....INSANE and if it does magically happen Microsoft will end up getting a cut of the sales so they will win no matter what...dopes. Just be a fan of all consoles this fanboy crap is annoying

[larrysdirtydrawss]

they're sayin it sucks on xone and can be so much more on ps4,because of the huge power difference... this game needs more justice,not a game that shoots to shit in framerate when you hop in a titan with last gen resolution...

[gamer1138]

The power difference would only result in a bump in res. The question is seeing how Titanfall is so reliant on the server back end, would Sony have the tech to power Titanfall server side? This is the reason they started with xbox one in the first place! MS had the servers, Sony did not. In fact if you read the countdown to Titanfall digital release, MS apparently funded the rest of the development after E3.

[xpressyoself]

ps4 fans did nothing but make fun of the game now when they see a false rumor about it coming to ps4 they are excited. Shocking

[candy_mafia]

Already enjoyed the hell out of it on my X1, so it won't matter whether it comes to my PS4.

For 'single' platform players, this could be good news (if true), depending on how you feel about the game?

[HollywoodLA]

Just a rumor. No actual evidence. Doesn't really mean anything, considering all of the inaccurate rumors circulating recently.

Does anyone even know the details of the MS EA deal regarding Titanfall? We have NO EVIDENCE, it seems, so speculation is all we have.

Bad bag...

[Yaay4me]

With the sales of PS4, EA would have to be nuts not to bring the sequels to PS4 i think

[MaxKruger]

The state of this site is ridiculous.

Even if Titanfall (not 2, the current one) made it to the PS4, Sony fanboys are more excited by the fact that the game isn't MS-exclusive anymore rather than enjoying the game. That's what this is all about. They'll purchase the game and come to the same conclusion that others have already come to - the wall-running and 'OMG TITANS' are not enough to hide the fact that the game is very bare bones and the matchmaking has trouble creating a balanced, full lobby.

And I thought the Xbox was mocked for being a FPS machine but here we are praising a shooter that may or may not be coming to the PS4. Disagree all you want, that's the truth.

[kevinsheeks]

I just watch it's all pitiful fanboys have turned this into a disgusting site -_-

You would think we'd just be adult and be happy for each other as gamers but not here

[larrysdirtydrawss]

worse keep secret in the business,atleast now you're gonna get titanfall with the framerate/textures/shaders/res it deserves instead of the disaster the xone displays.. same goes for next years dead rising on ps4

[XStation]

It's on PC also...

[etownone]

Luv to see Sony Fans and their wishful thinking.

[jnemesh]

What I get from all of the chatter is that Xbox fans are pissed. Their precious game, which gave them such a feeling of superiority, is going multiplatform, and will probably run better and look better on the PS4. So there goes the "better games" argument for them.

It's too bad for fans of Microsoft, really...I mean, when market forces show them that they picked the wrong console, what's a fanboy to do? (besides whine on N4G forums, I mean)

[xDHAV0K24x]

No

[Predaking77]

I would rather have Titanfall 2 on PS4 with a single player campaign.

[ocelot07]

It would make perfect sense for EA/Respawn to launch it on PS4. But I doubt I would buy it again. I have it on PC and its ok just does not get my attention. Maybe it will change if it does release on PS4. Considering most of my friends have a PS4 and I have no personal friends on PC.

[Tedakin]

MS paid for part of the production of the game. I can't imagine EA could just go screw it we're putting it on PS4 also, in spite of all the contracts and exclusivity deals we've signed. And before someone says "Mass Effect" that was different. Bioware was bought out by another company which voided all of the contracts. No one is buying out EA.

[Jyndal]

Keep in mind that a "special edition" of Titanfall could be issued on the PS4 without infringing on the contract with MS. Say, one with additional levels, weapons, etc. With the way PS4 is running rampant, the developers of any MS exclusive title would be stupid not to want to get their game on it asap.

[Tedakin]

MS said all editions of Titanfall 1 are exclusive to Xbox. They can't do that.

[Gamerita]

but when a game is a failure in EA's money book they can,all they have to do is give M$ some dlc exclusivity to fifa or any other high profile game & i'm sure M$ looking at the XBone's far from expected sales they would agree to anything specially to someone like EA.

[jimbobbeers]

Dream on. The sequel will come to PS4 but the original? Not a chance in hell.

[M1chl]

To be honest, as a PS4 only owner I couldn't care less. I don't see any appeal of this game. If Sunset Ovedrive comes to PS4 I would be all over it, because that games looks awesome, but TitanFall? Whatever....

[Gamerita]

NO surprise as EA wants money & XBone is struggling to sell so they came back to Sony gamers for cash. i have gaming PC & i still didn't buy the game because if it's not on STEAM i'm not buying & this game is not that special anyway even if it was on steam i would not be rushing to buy it.

[rivencleft]

Hmmm, it'll be another game to add to my collection, don't mind if I do.

[combolock]

Based on all the hate of this game from PS4 customers over the last few months I doubt this will break 1 million sales.

Oh wait yes it will, because the same people who said it sucks will buy it in droves.

[iistuii]

Ha yep that's exactly what would happen..

[madjedi]

Depends on the person.

[BLow]

If it comes then good for EA and good for gamers that only own a PS4. The more games the better right? It would be funny if it did come and it be one of the top sellers on PS4. But that wouldn't happen because going off of whats said on this site no one will buy it for PS4 because it's such a terrible game.

Here's how I see it. If it comes then great for all those people, who don't live on this site, that want it. If it doesn't then there is apparently no loss because it's such a "terrible" game. Soooo, which side shall prevail? We shall see. Such a hot topic for a game that didn't live up to the hype or isn't that good at all...This is funny to watch and read sometimes...

[PaperMan]

Good news for PS4 owners. Get to play a great game...

[Pon4]

You aren't getting Titanfall only titanfall 2 if that happens

[iistuii]

Oops

[corroios]

The just need to call Titanfall Extended Version and its not the same as the Xbox One...

[Pon4]

Titanfall isn't coming to PS4 facts only Titanfall 2 maybe don't be so delusional and accept facts

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Every time an "insider" gets it wrong it hurts the credibility of N4G.

Rumors need to be excluded from the front page.

[Drasill]

It was already confirmed that the first Titanfall would be lifetime exclusive to Xbox and PC.

[objdadon]

You're right, the first"titanfall" , they didn't say Titanfall goty! Titanfall definitive edition! Ect. My whole time playing it on my xbox one I thought man this would look and play a whole lot better on my ps4! I loved the 360 controller but this time around I think the ps4 controller is way better than the xbox one's.

[Haki1112]

Thought you guys didn't want Titanfall...

[aragon]

exactly thought it was cod with mechs and dumb bots lol,the hypocrisy here,titanfail isnot so hated afterall, guess what... sunset overdrive and quantum break are coming to ps4.

[jacksons98]

I got so many disagrees when I mentioned this 6 months ago... But history will repeat itself, just like it did with all those supposed 360 exclusives.

[souga_houjou_jin]

lol ms fanboys will go rage mode now hahahahaha
well it shouldnt be a surprise anw the ps4 is raping the xbox everywhere with style and ease so no wonder

[Haki1112]

No need for rage mode. You guys are hypocrites before it was "COD WITH MECHS!! it sucks!!" now it might come to ps4 "OH I KNEW IT!!! CANT WAIT TO PLAY IT!!!" and here I am thinking the Sony camp was happy with all the remakes and indie games why do you guys want xbox games so bad?

[madjedi]

No it was cod's online competitive only mode with mechs, no campaign mode at $60. For the gamers that aren't big into online fps games it isn't especially appealing.

So would you care to prove anyone of reversing their opinion of the game from it's trash to omg my new goty since this rumor hit.

Seriously the last part is beyond stupid, because we enjoy games regardless of who makes them.

Right no rage there, just angry attack mode screaming you hypocrites at sea of different tastes and gamers, as though all ps gamers share the same opinion.

Considering it runs like crap on virtually all the systems it's on, yeah i think ps4 gamers would be better off waiting for tf 2, and respawn to fix it's coding.

[WickedLester]

A foregone conclusion really

[player002]

titanfall 2 yes 1 nope XB1 exclusive forever devs already said this so why do you guys believe otherwise...in next 1-2 years titanfall 2 will be multi plat

[90Supra]

I'm not interested in this one, but clearly there's a whole lot people that would love for this to be true...

[ShinraE5]

Well according to the "internet", this game sucked and was only CoD with mechs. So this shouldn't matter, should it?

Jest aside though, the series will go multiplatform and I hope that will allow Sony gamers to give it an honest look. The competitive play is above the rest of the FPS crowd by far, a really great experience.

[gigoran]

Still don't care. Maybe there are a couple of ps4 owners that want it, but a lot of us are not interested in playing COD with mechs. We already know that COD:advanced warfare - titanfall 2 is multiplatform so they can just wait for that instead.

[samchez77]

lol. I just said the same thing below!

[gigoran]

A well said to you then my good man haha

[samchez77]

And you too fine Sir. *tips hat*

[ironmonkey]

imagine if it does come to ps4 and ends up being the better.

[samchez77]

good chance it would be. PC version is far superior to Xbone

[stormplyr]

I'd say this is highly unlikely. I'd welcome it though if it did come to ps4 since I can't afford an XB1.

[samchez77]

Pffft. Xbone can keep it. This game is over-hyped, boring shite. 6v6? NPC's to create the illusion of a full map? It's a COD clone with wall running and the mechs from Killzone 3.

Over hyped and under delivered. Like I suspected.

[e-p-ayeaH]

i wouldnt mind getting a copy for my PS3 this game alot more fun that the usual shooter.

[JohnS1313]

This makes perfect sense. EA wants to make as much money as they can. Why make an Xbox One exclusive when the PS4 is selling bigger? It will for sure be on the PS4 eventually.

[fullmetal297]

I wouldn't imagine Microsoft liking the idea of Respawn breaking their contract that Microsoft probably paid heavily to keep. Perhaps they are preparing to making the sequel and optimizing the engine to the PS4 early, or maybe they are making another game altogether.

[ocelot07]

Didn't Microsoft pay very large amounts for exclusivity to the likes of Bioshock and Mass Effect and GTA IV DLC? Only for them to make there way over to PS3?

For example Bioshock came to PS3 with DLC included. Mass Effect came to PS3 as part of a triple pack and GTA IV DLC came to PS3 as part as the complete edition. Then release digitally? I may be wrong about some of that am not sure.

So is it not possible for them to release Titanfall as some sort of complete edition? Am not really bothered if it comes to PS4 or not as I have it on PC and am all ready bored of it. However it would be funny if it did. After all the Xbox fans went on and on for months about it. Only for it to appear on PS4 at a later day with 60fps and 1080p resolution.

[JMyers]

If it comes it comes.. If it doesn't then it doesn't. Plenty of exclusives on PS4 are incoming.

This is still not as big as FFXIII coming to 360. Remember that?

Sony doesn't need MS's exclusives to steal headlines and E3. It's a good game yes, and it will be good for it to come to PS4. With all the games though, this isn't as important (IMO)

[ITZz-FAN_BOY]

this news for refresh titanfall
people forgotten the game

overrated

[windblowsagain]

Titanfall is a good game, but BF4 is the best FPS around.

[WilDRangeRrfc]

I hope it goes multiplatform,it don't matter to me as I have both consoles but only then will it get the full recognition the game deserves,the gameplay and mechanics are unmatched,excitement and fun fast paced action is great,is it perfect? No more game modes and weapons attachments are badly needed,but I expect this will come cause Respawn are listening and doing a great job,I expect lots of updates in future,a game mode with no bots and more pilots in match is badly needed,this game deserves to be played by everyone,Sony fans will soon know the greatness of TF and will change their tune once they play it I promise you that Titanfall>Any FPS released

[Mister_G]

It's all about money at the end of day. 7.5 million PS4's have been told now (according to VGChartz), so that's a lot of extra money for EA.

[mmj]

This is likely only happening because the game was a bit of a flop, after all of the pre-launch hype most Xbone owners got bored of it within two weeks. I bet they don't even care that PS4 owners might be able to get their hands on it.

[frankthetank28]

Shinji Mikami said he was gonna cut his head of if resident evil 4 will be ported to consoles other than gamecube. Money makes you do unexpected things.
