The author lists ten things he would like to see in a sequel to Titanfall.
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 couldn't be a better, in my opinion.
How about no "smart" matchmaking that pairs people basked on "skill" rather than connection. I don't feel like being punished for being good by getting thrown into laggy rooms against full clans an parties. That patch ruined the game.
Titanfall has a decent amount of maps, so that should continue in the sequel.
Then, a memorable campaign is a must. Remember Cod 4 campaign? It had great characters, action, and was just awesome, Cod4 wouldn't have been the same without it.
Titanfall should immerse people into its world and lore. And the only way to effectively do that, is with a proper campaign.
Then, a new, revamped engine should be used. People expect great graphics nowadays, and Titanfall, even on PC, is a little lackluster. It doesn't look horrible as many people say (exaggerating), but it doesn't look great either. Certainly doesn't look as a next-gen game. Visuals have to be upgraded
PS4 version is a must. (and no parity, graphics should be as good as possible on each platform)
And last, performance was shaky on the X1 (even on PC), so 60 fps should be locked, frame drops are unforgivable in this type of game, so it should be a priority. This is something that should be taken note of. The campaign could be on 30 fps though
umm content and a campaign? thats a good start
I want to be able to take down the giant alien dinosaurs from the Boneyard Map. Maybe the could help to make the scenarios a bit (a lot) more alive.
