Jermain writes, "Microsoft’s next gen console the Xbox One is on it’s way, and while exclusive titles such as Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 are highly anticipated, it’s Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall that is being hailed by many as it’s Killer App. Many gamers, have gotten on the hype train, mostly due to gameplay footage and the huge praise from countless game journalists. It’s not hard to see why, it’s a fast paced multiplayer only first person shooter with a science fiction setting. You can traverse the battlefield by running along walls like you are the Prince of Persia, via jet-pack and by piloting giant mechs known as Titans."
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.
Another fps labeled as "killer app." I don't think so, and X1 pre-orders agree with me.
Agreed, I don't see what's so special about this.
I can't wait to see this running on actual Xbox One hardware. I don't think it's been demoed on the actual hardware yet (correct me if I'm wrong).
I just find that odd because the Xbox One is suppose to be the definitive version...
Guy on PC wrote this and he knows the x1 is the main platform, sooooo I can understand him feeling this way. Stop the shit, out of all new next gen games this is the most different and maybe most fun. Enjoy gaming everyone.
Same here I hope for others that it gets to PS4 but honestly I'm very not interested in buying this game. Besides its the first in assuming its a franchise, might grow on me hell it took 4 games for CoD for people to just decide its a good game
