Major Nelson on Titanfall for PS4: Depends on Game, “Not Worried About” Timed Exclusivity

"Every now and again, the same question keeps coming back: Will Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall be a timed exclusive to the Xbox One and Xbox 360? Considering the growing demand for PS4 consoles and Respawn's own replies to the same, it certainly seems possible."

[NYC_Gamer]

Its going to appear on PS4 because the game is being published and funded by EA

[CRAIG667]

I think Microsoft will be willing to spend BIG money keeping this exclusive, hence Nelson stating he's not worried...

[Belking]

It's not EAs IP though. They have a publishing agreement and thats it. Respawn still has control of when and where it goes.

[B-radical]

true basically EA promotes the game ships out the game makes money of the game buy mansions with profits from the game. It will be upto respawn if they want it to be released for ps4/wii u. Not microsoft or ea

[Blaze929]

all of you missed the point he was trying to make with "question for titanfall"

aka, if it does well we'll keep it exclusive. if not, we won't spend our money for that.

[DoubleM70]

Why all the disagreements. Triple A games have to turn a big profit because of the developement cost. Sony didn't sink any money into Respawn (Titanfall). They passed on the game because they didn't have the infrastructure to support it. Why some of you Fanboys can't face those facts. I would love to see Naughty Dog go Multiplatform. I think their games should be enjoyed by all, but it want happen. I can except that and that's why I buy both consoles. I love games.

[MorePowerOfGreen]

Major Nelson said he feels good that its a XB1 exclusive for good but anything is possible. That's it LMAO

PS fanboys and gamingbolt always trying to make something out of nothing.

He didn't say he's not worried about it being timed exclusive. He said he's not worried that it might some day go to PS4 because he's confident in the partnership with Respawn.

We're grasping at straws here. http://www.reddit.com/r/xbo... This gamingbolt article suggests Major Nelson is telling people it's a timed exclsuive and he's not worried about it.

We will see if MSFT is out bidded later on assuming the dev team has time to make a forth version.

[MizTv]

If it's a x1 exclusive why am I going to play it on my pc?

[HugoDrax]

Because as of now your PC is running which Operating System? I'll wait because I'll take a guess here and say its's a version of Windows hahaha...don't sit here and say you're running Linux either, just to say a different OS.

[BG11579]

@MizTv, because of the better graphics on PC and the keyboard mouse combo.

@AuricGoldfingerGive, right now yeah, but give some time, Valve's OS is around the corner...
AMD mantle, Nvidia G-SINC, revolution is a step away and when that happens PC gaming is going to change.

[warczar]

You bring up a good point Auricgoldfinger, we all are running some shitty version of windows and we all can't wait for someone else to come out with a new OS with a large enough install base so we will never have to deal with Microsoft again. hahaha.

[troylazlow]

Smart money is on it staying a MS exclusive. MS holds on to these franchises whenever possible. Halo, Gears, and now Tinfall

[quenomamen]

Probably and honestly I could care less, I just can't be excited by any game made by the original " pump out the same turd every year " that was Infinity Ward and went on to become Respawn. Everybody is all moist for Titanfall yea ok, but come back and tell me how excited you are after Titanfall 5 featuring the tired gameplay and graphics. Their best game is their first, after that it's all downhill

[warczar]

shows how little you know about the relationship between publisher and developer. Infinity ward had very little say in what game they were going to make next.

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

The drm flip flop killed that exclusive. Ea was trying to push just as hard as ms, with the cloudz.

[XboxFun]

But doesn't MS throw money at devs to make games exclusive? I mean this is what I have been told time and time again by the insiders on N4G.

So why wouldn't this be any different? I'm sure MS will also throw money at EA to keep this game exclusive.

If everyone wants to play Titanfall so bad I think everyone needs to get a Xbox One.

[MysticStrummer]

"If everyone wants to play Titanfall so bad I think everyone needs to get a Xbox One."

...or a 360... or a PC.

[TheXgamerLive]

Here's the real answer. Due to an exclusivity deal TitanFall will never go to PS4 ....but a titanfall 2 game could. Thats totally up to Respawn.

[malokevi]

Cool, yo. Can't wait to play this in the spring. People who dismiss it because it's "online only" or "timed exclusive" are just looking for lame excuses.

[ajax17]

It's EA, all they care about is making as much money as possible.

[harrisk954]

Of course it is coming to PS4 at some point. NO ONE, NOT MS OR EA OR Respawn has said at any time that the game is a full-blown exclusive in perpetuity as opposed to a timed-exclusive. Even Larry Nelson's comment does not deny that it is timed:

Nelson replied, “As far as being an exclusive that’s really a question for Titanfall – I’m not worried about it though.”

But, the author of the article takes this to be an affirmation that it is a full exclusive title?? I don't see how he can make that leap. From the article: "No one can really say for sure, but if Nelson’s lack of worry says anything, it’s that the game might just stay exclusive after all." Ummm, yeah. Ok... So, Nelson's statement that he's "not worried about it" and to ask "Titanfall" (by the way, how does one go about asking Titanfall anything??) means that it is exclusive. Really? My read of Nelson's comment is that it is a timed-exclusive and that he is not worried about the PS4 getting the XB1's sloppy seconds a year or so from now.

[Golden_Mud]

The real thing is Microsoft realize that the franchise will evolve in the future, I think there gonna buy the IP just like Halo

[MuhammadJA]

it's still not confirmed for ps4, genius.

[harrisk954]

Not confirmed. But, you would have to be pretty short-sighted to think that it was not a timed-exclusive. The box art would say "Only on XBox"... but, it doesn't. That is generally a sign of a timed-exclusive as opposed to a true exclusive.

[Magicite]

remember the mass effect

[3-4-5]

If it goes to PS4 that is a GREAT thing.

It gives the dev's of Titanfall more money to use for their next game/games

[PFFT]

Thats exactly what i said awhile back. If it becomes a multi-plat it will be a win win situation. XBO crew is happy Ps4 crew is happy AND Respawn will generate enough mula to fund more games be it Sequels or new IP'S.

[davidDIRK]

If it gets on ps4 it will steal a lot of msoft's thunder

[Kujii]

1 year timed exclusive sounds about right. EA finally have their COD killer and MS must have paid a hell of a lot of money for that timed exclusive.

It will be a system seller and a good boost for the xbox in 2014. More importantly Xbox will be associated with Titanfall much like it is with COD.

It's a smart move. But it will defiantly be coming to PS4 if EA wants to kill COD.

[Eddie20101]

Major nelson's lack of a real answer pretty much cements the fact that it is a timed exclusive, if it wasn't he would have said without a doubt that the game is strictly exclusive to just the Xbox cosoles and PC.

There is no reason for it to be a timed exclusive other than Microsoft payed for it. Something Microsoft is well known for doing.

The conclusions that the person writing the article came to seem like they have a fanboy bent to them.

[mediate-this]

I dont know why people keep beating a dead horse. Reswan said them selves that could come to ps4 but micro supports them with their cloud. So to me that sounds like a timed.

Bjut who knows, only time will tell

[xtremeimport]

I feel like Nelson doesn't even know its coming to PC as well as Xbox consoles.

[mediate-this]

Wether you buy it on 360,pc, or xbone. Your still giving money to micro.

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

It's common sense that it will be on PS4.Sooner then later i'd say, once PS4 begins to distance itself sales wise from xbone.

CBOAT even confirmed it a long time ago.

MS still relying on timed exclusives lol
What's next? no longterm first party support? Gaps (sometimes years) with no worthwhile games at all? All focus on gimmicky kinect games?

[pyramidshead]

You can understand it though if you've got bag loads of cash to throw about and not enough first party studies in the mix producing anything out at least in time for launch or launch window.

What I like to think about are the devs looking over at the other camp and seeing all the awesome press and pre-order numbers the console they're not releasing on is getting. Almost feel sorry for them lol. No way would they be passing on translating all those ps4s sold into game sales.

[GadgetGooch]

Prick!!!

[GTgamer]

Lets put this one way If EA wants CoD profits for Titanfall it will have to go Multiplatform simple as that. EA is all about making more money look at Mass Effect.

[HugoDrax]

EA is the publisher, it's up to Respawn. From my understanding it has little to do with EA wanting COD profits, it's more like if Respawn wants COD profits since they own the IP.

Then again no one knows how much money Zampella & West was awarded during their settlement with Activision. Could have been 500 million, or 1 billion..Public documents revealed they settled for a disclosed amount.

I'm just acknowledging that maybe Respawns goal is to acquire a fan base, and not so much being concerned with profits? because the settlement with Activision has taken care of Respawn from a financial stand point, that their main focus is just creating a great game. So far, so good as TITANFALL has already broken records and become one of the most anticipated games of 2014.

[Revolver_X_]

Respawn not concerned with profits? What world do you live in Auric?

[Volkama]

They seem to have a pretty strong line-up of games so far, exclusive or otherwise.

I would expect them to keep releasing good games for so long as that's conducive to good Live subscription numbers.

People seem to think Microsoft treated 360 gamers like dirt, but I don't regret buying a 360 at all. If the One gets the same level of support it'll be worth the money.

[GodGinrai]

"People seem to think Microsoft treated 360 gamers like dirt, but I don't regret buying a 360 at all. If the One gets the same level of support it'll be worth the money."

I somewhat agree. Bought my first 360 in 2005..replaced it in 2007 due to RROD(didnt cost me a penny) Granted they could have made more exclusives but I would hardly call the lack of exclusives treating your customer base like dirt. XBL has been great, so many memories over the years with my clan, family and freinds over so many MP games. Its been a great machine.

[Volkama]

I'm not saying the games for the last couple of years have been great. I pretty much stopped using both consoles 2 or 3 years ago (until very recently). Those first years were enough to justify the purchase.

How many years of games does it take to justify £350 or £430? The answer surely varies from person to person, but I am confident both the new consoles will be worth the money to me.

[GodGinrai]

Yh, for me Im ready to buy new consoles after 5 years. This gen was waaaay to long for my liking. I got so impatient I turned to PC gaming , because I fealt like I had seen it all as far as 360/PS3 goes, years ago.

I buy a new phone every year. I upgrade my tablet every 2 years. I change my car ever 4-5 (getting a new BMW m4 coupe next year). I updade my PC and music equipment every 5 years, and my DAW everytime a newer version comes out.. My xbox360 and PS3 are the oldest bits of tech I own.

[H0RSE]

You hear xbox get a lot of slack for their lack of exclusives, but honestly I don't care, since the majority of the games my friends and I play are all multiplat games, like BF and Borderlands, and Mass Effect MP. When it comes down to preference, I will take the functionality and features of XBL over PSN any day.

I don't base my purchase around exclusives. I base it around which console is going to allow for the best gaming experience with my friends, and we all agreed that it was xbox - we simply like the platform more.

[CYCLEGAMER]

I am not going to say that it will never come to the ps4, but I will say this...when and if it does, it will in 2015 or 2016. By that time people will have moved on from titanfall 1.

I would say that Titanfall 2 is more likely.

[fullymoated]

Why would I wait when i don't have to? X1 plays my 2 favourite franchises (battlefield and CoD) and it has Titanfall. I don't see what you gain in hating the X1.. just don't buy it if you don't want it.

[MizTv]

But the power of the cloud....

[srd4484]

Oh CBOAT said it so it must be true.

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

Interesting how you leave out the part of common sense - but then again, i shouldn't be surprised.

[TheFallenAngel]

90% of what he says its true. He predicted that dead rising was going to he exclusive. Its common sense that it will come on ps4

[GiantEnemyCrab]

MS still relying on timed exclusives

Have you looked at the exclusives in the launch lineup?
How are they relying on timed exclusives?

I guess they could just take the Sony route and buy the studio out. Then no other platforms but the Xbox get the games.

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

"How are they relying on timed exclusives? "

By touting a timed exclusive as exclusive? The first of many to come, i'm sure.All of which, much like this gen, will make their PS debut with all DLC etc.

And much like this gen, i expect xbox fans to continue covering their ears and shouting nopenopenopenope as it happens everytime.

*shrug*

[djplonker]

I dont see what all the hype is about it looks like mirrors edges meets call of duty with some front mission evolved thrown in!

[mhunterjr]

Yeah, and that's exactly what all the hype is about....

[Haki1112]

if it was ps4 only i bet you could see the hype

[djplonker]

@haki1112 nopeI have a perfectly good gaming rig so I can play it day one if I want to but I dont.... also puppateer is ps3 only I dont care for that either ;)

It has nothing to do with the platform!

[Revolver_X_]

I love when xbots try to find hypocrisy at every turn. "If it was on PS4 you'd see the hype." Uh, no. Look at the player base for every multiplatform FPS. Xbox has more players because they have nothing else. PS offers way more genres where we dont spend months on end drooling over the same FPS'.

[DirtyLary]

Not feeling the wall jumping mechanics. I guess I'll just wait for STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT for my infantry / mech battles.

[B1663r]

PS4 lacks the critical dedicated server and compute infrastructure to support this game. For that reason alone, this game remains a console exclusive to the X1.

[GalacticEmpire]

...and PC and 360 lol.

[PFFT]

Both will be using the AZURE cloud lol
Does Sony have access to those servers?? NOPE

[mhunterjr]

The pc version is using the xb1 cloud. And the Xbox360 version is an entirely different game, built by an entirely different team.

As far as a ps4 version goes, there's no reason (other than added costs) respawn couldn't set up their own dedicated servers or revert to a p2p model. The latter would likely either effect framerates or take away from the npc count though.

Of course there is always a chance that Sony would foot the server bill if it meant winning a critical exclusive from MS.

[WeAreLegion]

Actually, yes. Sony does have access to those servers. Everyone does. Microsoft and Sony are business partners, as far as laptops and desktops are concerned. Microsoft, as a whole, owns the AZURE cloud; not the Xbox division. If Sony wanted to use AZURE, they could easily just pay to use it.

[B-radical]

PC is using azure also. But i think 360 may use p2p as its being made by a different studio

[MrBeatdown]

"What... Microsoft would in no way allow Sony to use their Azure servers for the Playstation brand, it's one of their key marketing strategies, you're dreaming."

You're dreaming.

Azure isn't an Xbox "marketing strategy". It's an element of MS's business, completely independent of Xbox, that Xbox happens to have to take advantage of.

Either MS is going to make money by renting servers to anyone, including competitors, regardless of how they use them, or they are going to drive that business to Azure's competition.

The idea that developers are interested in shipping a dedicated server-based multiplayer mode on Xbox, and P2P or something on other versions is a pipe dream of Xbox fanboys. DICE said it best the other day... they're looking for Battlefield solutions... not Xbox solutions.

MS can either embrace that, and turn Azure into the go-to place when the gaming industry has server needs, or they can drive business away, unless every element of their customers' business aligns with MS's goals.

Call me crazy, but I'm sure MS would love to roll in the money they can generate by turning Azure into an attractive option for the entire gaming industry, and not hoping and praying that by blocking access to Azure on other platforms, they'll handicap non-Xbox versions, and hope that translates into sales.

[Fishy Fingers]

Eh? It's on PC and 360 as well. Nor do they.

Edit: beaten to the punch.

[pwnsause_returns]

i still cant believe that people are still believing in the crap that Microsoft is spewing over on.

[Godmars290]

The main reason PS+ is going to be required for multiplayer titles on PS4 is to provide for servers.

So, http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Pancit_Canton]

Do you realized that most PS3 games runs on dedicated server? I wouldn't be surprise that PS4 would do the same thing with the help of Gaikai Technology.

[Blaze929]

most? what is this rubbish that you speak of when Killzone Shadow Fall - a PS4 title, is not even on dedicated servers?

[Godmars290]

@Blaze929:
There's something called Google, or even Bing, that you might want to try before commenting:

Or am I somehow misunderstanding you?

[B1663r]

Godmars290,

That destructoid link there, it confirms that Shadow Fail does indeed have dedicated servers for match making and proxy. However the games are hosted on consoles...

[Brix90]

@B1663r
How old are you really "Shadow Fail"?

Some advice if your gona try to sneak troll try harder.

[Drekken]

Do you laugh as you are typing your BS?

[solidjun5]

He's like Blaze. A shill.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

Hahahahz- EA has it's own server farms.... why do you think Battlefield has dedicated servers.. EA owns their own servers..

(teh clowd, is not some M$ exclusive technology... Sorry)

[jetlian]

crysis games never got servers and they were through EA's partners program just like titanfall.

Actually that was one of the problems with crysis online. every once in awhile you'd get a perfect game.

if the game sales reach 3-6 million and fast MS probably will block it. Gears sold 3 million first week MS scooped it up. even the first gow was on pc then ms stopped that.

titanfall is certainly a test. if it sells well and ms gets it you probably wont see it on pc anymore either

[DevilishSix]

WTH are you talking about? EPIC is not a publisher, they shopped GEARS around and MS published it. MS is not publishing Titanfall, EA is publishing so your comparison makes no sense.

[jetlian]

WTH are you talking about devil? both crysis and titainfall arent published by the makers of said products.

Point is MS has a deal with respawn right now that sony doesnt have. And it could every well stay that way if sales permit it. wITH OR WITHOUT EA

[Dante81]

Oh yes, that mythical "cloud" powa.

[MizTv]

Hahhahahahahhahaa

[strickers]

It doesn't need it. The hardware is more powerful? It doesn't need that crux of tiny bandwidth helping out.

[GalacticEmpire]

Sounds like he knows that it will come to PS3/PS4. A spot of pre-emptive damage control?

[thrust]

So now you believe what he says? Hahahahaha classic!

[GalacticEmpire]

You're barking up the wrong tree if you're trying to find hypocrisy here.

I take anything that ANY PR mouthpiece says with a pinch of salt. In this case I was commenting on the motivasion for what he said and not what he actually said.

[srd4484]

Hypocrisy is all over your post. Before it was MS PR lies. Now, he speaks the truth. But he really didnt say much except for "I'm not worried about it though."
It's up to Respawn and ONLY Respawn to take MS money or go multi. And Nelson said he's not worried. You can easily say Nelson isn't worried about Titanfall going multi bc he knows it wont.

[Godmars290]

When the game is suppose to have a technical aspect which is exclusive to your system but it can be played on another console with no lack of performance, then any exclusivity claim becomes worthless.

Nevermind that the game's on PC, another platform, already.

[B-radical]

Yes windows required id imagine for pc version.....microsoft owns windows i think....let me wiki it

[Godmars290]

The main point is that if the game shows up on the PS4 and plays the same, then that's all of MS's claims gone right there. They will have gone into the next console generation with the fundamental flaw of showing the gaming community that they can neither produce or hold onto the majority of games for their system.

That they've made major statements in regards to the XB1 and cloud gaming, used a title and IP that they don't own to exemplify them, and then shot themselves in the foot because that same game showed up on another competing console.

[smoothop]

The game can run off MS's servers on PC and Xbox One. Remember the Xbox 360 version is not the same and being worked on by a different team.

[Benjammin25]

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to play Titanfall on the Steam Box. What has that got to do with MS? So it's not even an MS exclusive.

[ALARM-clock]

Major Nelson at E3 in an interview with Reddit Games:

"Did you see Titanfall? ENOUGH SAID---conversation OVER!"

Major Nelson on Reddit website two days ago:

"As far as being an exclusive that’s really a question for Titanfall – I’m not worried about it though."

[GodGinrai]

I have said this before and I will say it again. If titanfall sells X1s, then forget about it coming to PS4. MS have the funds to keep this game off playstation platforms, and if it is worth their money...they will.

If it does release on PS4 later, then good for those who could be bothered to wait. I will have both consoles by Q1 2014. So eitherway I wont be playing the guessing/waiting game. I intend to play with my freinds day one on X1.

[iceman06]

In the end, though, it will really come down to whether Respawn wants to keep their status of being completely independent. Remember, they left the most lucrative franchise in gaming because of issues with control. This is their first outing since claiming independent status. They COULD let MS buy the IP and still remain an independent developer. But, there would still be the possibility of control issues. Even if EA applies "pressure" to release the game on multiple platforms, I still see it as a Respawn call. Money talks, that's for sure, but what's the price of freedom?

[djplonker]

I am going to try and steer clear of ea next gen apart from bf4..... and dragon age 3 and the next mass effect maybe fifa 15...

damn you ea!

[windblowsagain]

lol.

But mass effect is pure boredom.

[Deathdeliverer]

I think his "not worried about it" was along the lines of, "we have other games so that one being multi plat is not a problem". And I would hope so. If the playstation 3 or 360 were surviving solely based on one games exclusivity, it would be sad dark times to be a gamer. I'm sure Microsoft has other TRUE exclusives in the oven, just like Sony, that they really ARE banking on. Not some timed exclusive mumbo jumbo.

[SkippyPaccino]

Wouldn't be surprised if it comes out on PS4 at the same time...Who knows ,maybe Respawn has a clause in their contract that says that the Xbone needs to have a certain amount of consoles sold before the game is released and if it doesn't meet those guidelines, then the contract is voided and its then allowed to release on multiple hardware at once (a la assassins creed on PS3 or more recently with Rayman on Wii-U )

[thrust]

Maybe a year later, you can dream about the same time.

[Brix90]

@thrust

If they announce this game for PS4 I will make sure to come see you lol...Holy crap is this guy bored today.
I can care less because I'm getting it for 360 ported version or not. I can't justify buying a 500 console for one game not saying X1 doesn't have anything to offer. I'm gona wait till X1 show more new IP's before I buy another next gen console.

[smoothop]

Respawn said themselves that it was more to do with the cloud that MS offered them, they mentioned something about it being way to expensive to do on other platforms for one reason or another. They obviously can do it on PS4 if they decide to but its down to Sony to give them the resources that MS are offering.

[HugoDrax]

True! They also stated something along the lines of

"We went to each company, and the only company that came back to us with a solution was Microsoft"

In other words, we had an idea that we presented to Nintendo and Sony, but they didn't give a damn, and Microsoft did because they had a solution. Now that the game is looking like it will be a major success, I'm sure Nintendo and Sony would like a piece of the TitanFall pie. In other words, Sony and Nintendo slept on TitanFall and Microsoft took a gamble that will pay off tremendously.

You snooze, you lose.....

[OC_MurphysLaw]

At some point I am sure it will... whether its Titanfall or Titanfall 2....it'll happen.

[bub16]

is it just me or does this game look poop

[omegaheat]

If the Xbox One is allegedly so unpopular among the gaming community , why does most of the journalism revolve around its games? Why are so many PS fans even commenting on these articles about Xbox One games? I have seen more footage and photos of Xbox One games in journalism than PS4 games. It's as if nobody even cares about the PS4 launch window, even the PS4 fans themselves seem to not care. They spend more time worrying about games for Xbox One while talking about things like filing petitions to bring Xbox One exclusives to the PS4. Talk about envy. have no interest in games like Killzone or Knack, so I never have a reason to comment on either of them because I'm not getting the Ps4 console. It's that simple. I don't understand the PS4's fanbase. So many of them seem to be wishing for the Xbox One's failure. And if you read the forums, most of the comments in Xbox One articles are from PS fans. Why are you even here? It's not like you are considering to purchase the console...

[Pancit_Canton]

Xbone is another BETA console all over again. All the bugs and glitches will be fixed on the PS4 including all the DLC's.

[ElementX]

Personally I'd rather play a game when it comes out rather than 1-2 years down the road when it's old news. That's why I'm buying both consoles.

[strickers]

That's why You fall for the old MS tricks. You have to be part of the crowd, part of the Zeitgeist. See, while you have to play the latest thing, as soon as it's out, the PS fans are playing all their genuine exclusives. All those original and inventive games. They aren't waiting for that timed exclusive. While you end up waiting for the next cycle of MS IPs , those that want to will play your 6 month old game. They'll probably still play another fantastic game of the year, before you finally get Forza for the 4th time in a gen, with minor additions.
Ultimately this gen, PS fans got to play huge numbers of genuine exclusives and a large chunk of 360s best exclusives.
The PS games most XB fans slag off, they either didn't get to play or played 5 minutes around a friends, knowing they hated if. I mean, they couldn't have all the excellent games they were missing, while watching all the games they lorded bring played on a PS3. Could they?

[sAVAge_bEaST]

The fall 2014, it should drop on Ps4.

[JuniorCE]

Of course, Titanfall is coming to PS4 soon or later... Do you really think that EA doesn't want to sell four times more of this game? LoL

[Funantic1]

Y'all do know that EA is bringing a game to PS4 that won't come to X1 right? EA will have exclusives.

[josephayal]

They said the same thing about Mass Effect 1, A game of the year edition of Titanfall would be Amazing, only on PS4

[AceBlazer13]

could care less to be honest. had enough shooters this gen. of course i'll make exceptions for games like destiny though, see if they do something different.

[yellowgerbil]

can we stop getting articles from this awful site.
I got a popup for maccleaner. Then on the page got 2 separate video ads that start automatically and are loud and annoying.
This site is terrible.

[Faunus]

During a GTTV episode Respawn's Vince Zampella already said that their goal is to finish Titanfall as fast as they can for the launch, (already delayed) but they are gonna look into it: PS4 version. Then he said to Geoff Keighley that Titanfall 2 wil come to the PS4 for sure. So eventually Titanfall as a series will be playable on Sony's new system. ;-)

[fullymoated]

Already the #1 article today.. shows how much fans on both sides are interested in Titanfall. The #1 reason why I’m getting an xbone, I just can’t wait indefinitely for it to come out when I could be playing it this spring.

[hankmoody]

I think it's pretty obvious at this point why there's so much focus on Titanfall's possible jump to PS4. Losing console exclusivity for Titanfall would be a huge hit to the Xbox One, simple and plain. It's the one game that even the PS4 fans are clamoring for. And the ones who talk negatively about it aren't even making sense. I just read a comment stating that "...Titanfall is no different than CoD."

Really?

I think this may just be the game that the Sony fans are a little bit afraid of.

[aaronobst]

Few thought Mass Effect would find it's way to Playstation...

[wishingW3L]

this is like Mass Effect all over again. This is EA guys, do you really expect an exclusive from EA? Especially for a game they are expecting to become the next Call of Duty?

[GiantEnemyCrab]

There is a difference. Respawn is an EA partner while Bioware is owned by EA.

The results may be the same but the situation is not like ME.

[DoubleM70]

The are not even at EA partner anymore. EA shutdown that program back in 2010. EA is strictly a publisher and distributor. Respawn own the rights to their game exclusively.

[CJDUNCAN]

MS needs to keep titanfall as an exclusive. PS has Killzone and Shadow Fall looks truly epic, to my knowledge MS doesn't have that first person shooter exclusive that it needs to push a console.

[Dakriz]

Can anyone one show me where the ps4 is so much better than the xbo, I mean some of you claim Titanfall will look so much better seems you guys have seen it If so care to share. I personally go by what I see and for my money no ps4 exclusive can match Ryse and don't mention Dark sorcerer we all know QD don't make games they try to make interactive movies so it don't count. So please show vids of anything but knack and I'm not bashing Sony cause we all know they will have good games I only bash the basher without a brain. Oh aand you guys love to bash xb360 well I can bash ps3 cause when I buy a game on the system I expect it to look better than a ps2 game but it doesn't. That is sad reason why I do the Nintendo with Sony and only buy it's exclusives but unlike Nintendo not all of them are great... Chew on that.

[strickers]

Technically KZ, The Order and Infamous do many things beyond Ryse.You just can't see it through those green goggles. Ruse is pretty but very limited by comparison.

[Dakriz]

I ain't no technician so your terms don't apply I have seen what you have seen and all, KZ or SS can't hold a candle next to Ryse and The Order has ZERO gameplay vids only pre render cut scene, so on your own term stop wearing your blue glasses and you will see only knack running on the system and some even overheating. So again next month we shall see a better looking and real vids of KZ and hopefully a fog less SS cause fog is so ps2 in my opinion oh yeah and maybe a real vid of that order you have... lol

[truegamerkt]

There is no way m$ would match the money.They could make off game sells and dlc. Every game makers goal,is to get their game in as many hands as possible . There is no way Titanfall is not coming to ps4. It's all business sorry fanboys.

[Deep-throat]

Xbox - the home of TIMED exclusives.

Also, this game is NOT exclusive to one platform.

[ZHZ90]

I know this will be available on PS4 and maybe as well PS3, it's published by EA.

[Thomaticus]

The game looks fun, I hope it does come to PS4. Only issue I have with it, is... once I'm inside the mech.. why would I get out to jump around?! If PS4 gets this game late, it'll mean will get the game probably with all DLC and some extras included. Sometimes its good to get the game second.

[DoubleM70]

Don't go shooting off at the mouth. Go to their website and read up on what they have to say about Microsofts Cloud.

http://www.respawn.com/news...

[ZHZ90]

Cloud or not, PS4 does as well have Dedicated Servers.

And Titanfall does have a big chance to appear on PS4 already especially since MS didn't fund it like they did with Ryse and DR3. ;)

EDIT: Also

@DoubleM70, at your post replying to Blaze.
"Sony didn't sink any money into Respawn (Titanfall)."
So as well MS didn't sick any money to keep Titanfall as exclusive.

"I would love to see Naughty Dog go Multiplatform. I think their games should be enjoyed by all"

Yeah sure ND should go multiplat while Titanfall should stay as X1 exclusive nothing else to say about this other than just fanboy and selfish.

@corvumud, your statement is just pointless. KZ:SF and CoD:Ghosts do have dedicated servers and PS4 online will be great. Can't you troll harder than that. ;)

[corvusmd]

If Killzone and COD Ghosts can't get TRUE dedicated servers on PS4...then good luck with that statement...true they exist, by it's not even a comparison....both of those games will have a dedicated server, but the majority of the work will still be done P2P...you may want to fact check yourself before you post like that

[DoubleM70]

Nope what I was saying that it's just reality. Naughty Dog games will never appear on any platform, but Sony. I think their games should be enjoyed by all. In the case of Respawn Microsoft did invest money into the developement of the game. Go look on their website it right their in plain english. It just a fact of reality. Why you think I play on both platforms. I don't like missing any game that's good period. On any platform.

[ZHZ90]

@DoubleM70, I went to their website and didn't see anything that mentions MS paid for it.

Look I won't cry in the corner if Titanfall doesn't come on PS4 you know why? Because I like KZ:SF, I:SS, WD, FFXV, MGS5, KH3 etc more and I know I will see better games than Titanfall including from developer studios like ND, SSM etc and also from Rockstar.(And they will also do me big favor as not to oversaturate my video game collection with FPS) And God knows whether I will buy it or won't buy it when Titanfall hits on PS4.

But all I know this decision is so as well on EA not only just Respawn. And most likely Titanfall will hit on PS4 whether we all like it or not. We will see how it'll go.

[ALLWRONG]

I bet when MS gave up publishing rights for the first Mass Effect EA gave Titanfall in return. You don't get something for nothing.

[gamertk421]

Keep it on Xbox only for consoles, Major Nelson. Pay them whatever. SDF doesn't deserve it.

[ZHZ90]

What does SDF means?

[BobBelcher]

Sony
Defense
Force

[neoMAXMLC]

Talk about irony.

[assdan]

The author's theory doesn't really make sense. Fps is definitely successful on PS as well. maybe not quite as much, but respawn would definitely make a much larger profit if it were also on ps4. My guess is that paid for timed exclusivity.

[Kidmyst]

I wouldn't be surprised to see this and Dead Rising 3 on PS4.

[LAYLOW]

I do think TITANFALL will be coming to PS4 .........when TITANFALL 2 drops on XB1! Timed exclusive is pretty much an exclusive if the time gap is extensive ,who will want to pick up TF for PS when TF2 is already on or coming soon to XB1 ?? Very few ! Imo

[Brazz]

mass effect collection comes to my mind... but well, it's a shooter, i can live playing titanfall 2 on ps4 and not titanfall 1.

[strickers]

Late doesn't make timed almost an exclusive. Jesus, yo ate desperate. When you play a game within a gen is not that relevant. They don't sit around waiting for the game, when they have the largest first party devs by far akung exclusives, you silly boy.

[LAYLOW]

LATE ?.... Timed EXCLUSIVE !!..Soooo if i throw a BBQ and i invite you over to eat and i tell you the grill will be going from 4-7 and i got good steaks going but you show up at 6:50 dont expect anything but a hotdog ,technically you had BBQ but you and i know you missed out ....same thing here girl,

[Half-Mafia]

The game is not even exclusive to begin with. Its coming to X1, 360 and PC.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

It may and if this gen is any indication it probably will. It's coming out on X360, PC and XB1 so it's not like there aren't plenty of places to play it. I just know I am not going to have to guess if I'm going to get to play it or not because I own both a 360 and XB1.

[Viking_Socrates]

I'd be highly shocked if Titanfall doesn't make it way to the PS4 sometime in 2014 or 15, Titanfall 2 will definitely be on both next-gen consoles.

[xxxGEOxxx]

We're talking about EA here. They took a former Xbox exclusive, Mass Effect, and made it multi-plat. I see this as no different.

But what would I know.

[AutoCad]

It doesnt matter though, PS Fans dont want this mediocre looking game anyways right?

[Brazz]

no... this gen i'm in the PS side (for now, i can go to de "X" side at any moment), but i have to admit, Titanfall looks very good...

[310dodo]

I truly hope it comes to PS4, the game looks fun as hell.
would love to join in on that chaos

[CuddlyREDRUM]

A mech shooter... zzz.

[alb1899]

Ok, ok, ok......what is the truth?
The truth is that when it launch will be only on X1, 360 and PC so end of discussion!

The information that I have is that if you want to play this game as next gen you'll have to buy an X1, you like it or not.

[darksky]

Is PC not as good or better than next gen?

[alb1899]

The thing here is that we are talking about ps4 and x1

[XisThatKid]

Even if it does I doubt I'll get it, it looks cool though.

[PAYNEinc85]

Sony boys are something else. Someone gives their unbiased doubts in a comment on whether it will make it to the PS4 and it gets 20 agrees and 100 disagrees but the moment someone says it looks like a good game those same Sony fans are disagreeing again. So which is it? Do you really dislike the game or is it really eating at you that it may not make it to the PS4?

[pinocchio2600]

last i heard EA was in business to make money. im sure it will come out on ps4. Remember when GTA was a PS exclusive. I played on both and I would say xbox was more enjoyable. I had to stop playing because the more bad thing i did on the game I started to turn into an ars. eeeh haaww.

[corvusmd]

"Perhaps Respawn saw the success of first person shooters on the Xbox 360 as compared to PS3 and thought that this would help give Titanfall a major bump up when it releases on Xbox One? No one can really say for sure" K...this guy clearly has no idea what he is talking about...Respawn has flat out said why they chose to put it on XB1 and why as for now it won't be coming to PS4...it would have taken a 2 second google search to find out the answers straight from their mouth. (see below) That being said...why would you want to wait AT LEAST a year till when the hype is gone (being as COD map packs are already old and boring by the time they drop on PS3 and that's usually just a month)all so you can play on an inferior network with a game that relies HEAVILY on network... if this game comes to PS4, that's great for people that only own PS4's, but it's not really a victory being that unless PSN gets a MASSIVE upgrade you won't get the true experience of the game. (however, with at least an extra year of development there may be a higher resolution or framerate possibly)

[strickers]

it really is quite sad how you Young pups must have it all at launch. Late is not cool? Must play it when all the other kids do. Baaaaaa! How do you handle missing all the best games on a rival system? So many Game of the Year? If you really feel like that, shouldn't you be buying all systems?

[Shane Kim]

I hope the day never comes. Shane Kim don't want shit on his console.

[annus]

Shane better commit suicide before PS4 launch then, because he is going to be very disappointed.

[TristanPR77]

The game looks good but not a systemem seller. I wouldn't pay $500+ for an inferior console just to play this game. And not when there are a lot of better games, like Destiny for example.

[Zancruz]

I did for Gears of War, Which ended up being the only good one out of the series and exclusive game on the system for that matter. But I won't do it again, No Sir I won't!

[Zancruz]

My guess, 2014 E3 Titanfall PS4 announcement with a 2014 holiday release...

There's too much money for EA/Respawn to make from Game/DLC sells, Plus Sony dominates Microsoft in the European and Asian markets...

[Gr1mmyshadows]

if this game does come to the ps4 I bet all the sony fanboys will suddenly praise how awesome this game is when they previously hated it

[Harpers_Ferry]

I've played this a couple of a times now, and while it's fun, it has a familiar feel to it, which will certainly put some people off a bit. To say that anyone who is or isn't looking forward to it is doing so due to "console allegiance" is fucking absurd. It's amazing some of the arguments that are made surrounding this game and where it might end up. So many armchair analysts who most likely don't know the first thing about business, let alone the business behind the gaming industry.

Respawn is a developer, it is their job to develop games. Jobs are how we make money. The hard working folks at Respawn, believe it or not, like money. They will go where the money takes them, whether that means being paid to keep their IP exclusive, or to put it on every console under the sun. Rest assured, these types of decisions are not made with any of this silly "console war" nonsense in mind.

As for the article, Nelson is doing his job. What do people expect him to say? Whether they had just tied up the rights, or knew it was going to everything including the Atari 2600, he's going to play it cool.

[Supermax]

Keep hope alive my ps4 brothers and sisters eh keep dreaming.

[S2Killinit]

that statement pretty much confirms that its coming to PS4. I for one dont care much since I'll be playing other things on my PS4, but I'm sure some PS4 future owner wouldn't mind. (:

[hazelamy]

clear as mud as usual.

[BABY-JEDI]

I would like to see Titanfall on the PS4. As for will it or won't it? The timed exclusive will tell.

[Lordofrankness]

If MS wants to they will throw millions at EA and ReSpawn to keep this a XB1 and PC exclusive. which i can see cause MS needs a NEXT GEN exclusive... Especially w the way Gears is going without Cliff B, and Halo is Halo always will b the Go to FPS other than Shit Of duty and BF4. Microsoft has alot of excluvies in the works which i am happy to see. Im a owner of sony and Ms platforms... Prefering MS for Multi because of the Dedicated servers for every game. hoping Sony can improve there multi service and please ROCKSTAR SHOW US FUCKING AGENT
