Titanfall Review: Fresh, Innovative and Ridiculously Fun - Game Insider

There are many things to like about Titanfall, from it’s slick gameplay to its incredible level design. The core concept is having two vastly different character types to play as: Pilot and Titan. While this idea is fresh enough in its own right, add in the parkour elements and double jump mechanic, and this game feels like something altogether new. In fact, the feel of this game is the most remarkable part of the entire experience.

Waiting to pick this up on 360, hope the port is relatively decent.

venom063695d ago

lets be real... this really is nothing more than CoD with wallruns and robots... it just that folks are so sick and tired of CoD that ANYTHING new is welcomed and praised..

snipab8t3695d ago

Eh I felt the same way when I saw the E3 reveal. If you looked back on my comment history I was always saying there was way too much hype for Titanfall, but after seeing more and more gameplay I reckon it is far enough away from COD so it feels fresh. I mean, it is created by the original makers of COD 4 so of course it is going to have similar elements, but the mech vs pilot vs ai balance is a very unique aspect to the game that hasn't been fully implemented into another game before.

Also on another note, somewhat unrelated, I hate how everyone keeps saying Titanfall is too overpriced for a multiplayer only game. If you pay $80 for single player only game like Skyrim and plug 100 hours into it, everyone is happy. But if you pay $80 for a multiplayer game and plug 100+ hours into it, then that is NOT okay? It doesn't make any sense to me, but N4G rarely does these days....

They are both arcade FPSs, of coarse they'd be similar.

Hey, your favorite game is just like another game in its genre with a different title. -_-

EasilyTheBest3695d ago

Another great review. I was unsure what the reviews would be like, Microsoft must be really pleased.

ArbitorChief3695d ago

Loving this game so far! It's so refreshing to play a MP FPS that's actually fun and feels new for once.

jy_mrnd3695d ago

Amazing game can't stop playing super additive.

Boody-Bandit3695d ago

I spend more time exploring the roof tops than I do killing the enemy. I don't care for Attrition but I'm liking domination.

ramiuk13695d ago

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.

MadLad595d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g595d ago (Edited 595d ago )

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

littletad875d 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.

Ethereal874d 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.
