Opinion: Titanfall hasn't eclipsed Call of Duty in one crucial respect

"Titanfall's greatest secret is that it's actually quite conservative. Judged by the standards of other blockbusters, it's a series of surgical strikes rather an all-out bombardment - upping the ante in places, dialling things back in others." [OXM]

I guess titanfall is doing mediocre sales because I haven't heard that it sold over a million on xbox one in one day or two days or anything about how great it's doing.its still early anyway but I can't wait to see sales stats after a week.

I like titanfall and think it's a proper shooter that I would prefer playing over cod but I'll wait for it to come to ps4 since I don't want an xbox one due to all the rubbish I dealt with on xbox 360 and the rubbish Microsoft tried doing on the xbox one

dirigiblebill3711d ago

The only way the original Titanfall will show up on PS4 is if EA breaks the law. It's contractually locked down for the Xbone. The (hypothetical) sequel is fair game, though.

OrangePowerz3711d ago

There might be parts in the contract that allow them to port it if the sales don't make them the money they expected.

There is also the possibility of making Titanfall Super Awesome Mega Edition and get around it that way. Like how FF13 versus isn't anymore PS exclusive because it's now called FF15.

DeadRabbits3711d ago

Titanfall 2 could easily get lost in the middle of the many PS4 exclusives in development.

EA have shot themselves in the foot with this one, they could have built early momentum by being on the xbone and also on the top selling next gen console on the market the PS4!

raWfodog3711d ago (Edited 3711d ago )

Without knowing the exact specifics of the contractual agreement, you can't just simply say they will 'break the law'. There could be all types of conditions built into it that may allow for such a scenario. For instance, something like if they allow it to be on PS consoles, EA has to pay MS some specific amount, etc.

I'm not saying that this game would ever come to PS consoles. I'm just saying that lawyers and businessmen usually include smart language in contracts to protect their clients interests.

ramiuk13711d ago

i would of expected EA to put a clause in,saying it must sell X amount by a certain time to stay excluive and then if it dont they will release a TITANFALL EXODUS (or something to make it slightly diff)

venom063711d ago

when will people admit how SENSELESSLY easy and lack of skill required to play this game??? Guns with no recoil, braindead easy-to-kill grunts and specters, continuous roof campers, this game REALLY is not all that these hypers have hyped it up to be.

curtis923711d ago

Same was said about original mass effect but EA bought the rights back from MS. Could do the same with TF but depends on if MS would do that.

frostypants3710d ago

"It's contractually locked down for the Xbone"

Unless you have seen the wording of the contract, this isn't a qualified statement.

NeoTribe3710d ago

You read the agreement?

"I like titanfall its a proper shooter"

Battlefield and counter strike are real shooters.... not titanfall XD

MysticStrummer3711d ago

They're all real shooters, just different kinds that promote different varieties of gameplay. Better to say some are more casual than others because they're easier to pick up and play, or to use a relatively current industry buzz word… accessible.

Utalkin2me3711d ago

It's really not hard to eclipse COD in anything other then sales.

Naga3711d ago

It would also be hard to eclipse COD in the number of screaming children.

Clown_Syndr0me3711d ago

Most CoD players are too young to remember when CoD was good. I bet 80% of Ghosts players never played CoD 4.

ThePope3710d ago

You know what's funny. CoD was good when Modern Warfare launched. And you know what's funny about that. It was 6v6........

ramiuk13711d ago

the thing is if it did come to ps4 now i hope they take the port from pc version and not the gimped bone version

solidworm3711d ago

Its easy mode trash. Leave it on the 720bonio.

djplonker3711d ago (Edited 3711d ago )

Casuals are playing titanfall

the hardcore are playing dark souls 2!

@corpser I didn't say either was...?

Corpser3711d ago

Can't play either of these on ps4 lol

curtis923711d ago

Where ARE the tf sales numbers btw? Figured we'd seen a midnight sales number at least... SOMETHING.

darkmonkey13x3711d ago

maybe they're waiting the launch on the other countries

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.

MadLad609d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g609d ago (Edited 609d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp9d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."

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.

littletad890d ago

This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.

Ethereal888d ago

I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.

Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
