TITANFALL is getting some deserve attention .

nicksetzer13790d ago

Crazy part is I don't know anyone who preordered it, most just picked it up today, no need to preorder. So, actual sale number must be crazy.

Galletto33790d ago

Yea a lot of people are going digital for Titanfall (testing the waters for digtital as it were)so they didn't need to put down pre-orders.

ABizzel13790d ago

Good pre-order numbers, 1:9 attach ratio on pre-orders alone. Could be the first Week 1 million seller of the generation, and it should be the best week 1 for an XBO game with (COD 500k sales week 1).

Technically speaking COD PS4 is in the lead with over 700k units at launch (including EU launch which was 2 weeks later).

Elit3Nick3790d ago

There is no preorder incentive so it's better to just pick it up or download it

k3rn3ll3790d ago

One reason to preorder this is the digital dload wont start till midnight pacific so if ur on the east coast u have to wait till 3am. At least that's what I've been told

combatcash3790d ago

I know a few people that have it pre ordered and some that are buying the bundle so it appears that it's going to help them move systems.

Ashby_JC3790d ago

I have never pre ordered a game. There are so many places to buy games I can't see major releases selling out.

I actually went ahead and downloaded titanfall. (First digital purchase on Xbox one)

If you think that COD with a twist deserves a lot of attention.

But then that's a matter of opinion, I suppose.

nicksetzer13790d ago

It is, and A LOT of people won't buy it due to that. (It being an fps that is, cod with a twist is a bit understated) but most xbox gamers are multiplayer mainly gamers, as i would say most ps gamers are sp geared. Neither better than the other.

Gunstar753790d ago

You obviously haven't played it.

supes_243790d ago

@silentnegotiatir,
I agree. I logged on to twitch.tv this morning to check it out and I kept comparing it to COD and BF. Although it is a different version, so to speak, but really similar to the two.

SilentNegotiator3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

@Gunstar75

People running around for the one-hit melee kills so that they get rewards that further tip the balance in their favor (faster titan fall)...yep, nothing like COD at all. /s

diehardmetallicafan3790d ago

there are a lot of fools in the world

Bigpappy3790d ago

Never mind COD is the number one game sold on ps3 and probably ps4 also

SilentNegotiator3790d ago

@Bigpappy

It's the people that constantly dump on COD that are praising Titanfall when it isn't that different from it. That's the issue. COD is one of or the top seller on PS3, X360, PS4, Xbone.

k3rn3ll3790d ago

rainslacker3790d ago

COD always gets a lot of attention, so if it is like, or is somewhat like COD, I can see it selling well. By attention I assume you mean sales of course.

TooHigh2Die3790d ago

IMO if TitanFall was multiplatform It would sell more on PS4. Look at the list other games like Destiny and WatchDogs are further ahead than the Xbone versions.

Xbone finally has their good exclusive while PS4's comes out next Friday. But this time next year Titanfall will be a afterthought with games like Uncharted and hopefully LOU 2 will make the Xboners cringe with envy.

BX813790d ago

Grow up and enjoy gaming. All you're doing is buying the damn thing, it's not like you used any creativity in this process. You're blind loyalty is exactly what MS/Sony look for in their sheep.

k3rn3ll3790d ago

First off ur mad if ur hoping for TLOU2 BY next year.

Second Titanfall outsold infamous in preorders showing a higher attach rate for march exclusive on xbox. So it might not be entirely accurate to say it would sell more on ps4 then xbox. Xbox has always had a higher multiplayer community when it comes to fps

TooHigh2Die3790d ago

I wasnt stating LOU 2 would be released next year just an announcement for the game, and BX81 I had a wii,360,PC, and PS3 I just thought PS3 was the best overall.

Xbox may have had a higher FPS community last gen but clearly this gen with higher sales for Bf4 and COD PS4 has taken over in that regard.

cozomel3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

@kernell

Get your facts right, Titanfall didnt outsell infamous in preorders. Infamous has over 600,000 preorders, whereas Titanfall has 385,000.

@cozomel, are you being serious? You are actually using info from that site as news? Wow.

lemoncake3789d ago

Good luck getting two good games from one developer in the same year

Fz6soldier3790d ago

LOL, 360 version and PC version are 16 and 17 on the list. what does that tell you? X1 owners are starved for this game. There are far more 360s and PCs out there than X1s. Destiny doesn't even have a date and it's killing the titanfall version on 360 and PC.

Wizard_King3790d ago

PC gamers already have to much to play to worry about sub par hype fueled COD clones.

Ch1d0r13789d ago

If it doesn't sell good it will show us how powerful those 3 little letters are with the younger crowd. (COD)

Best wishes to Dark Souls 2, hope it sells 1-2 million lifetime. Love that series.

Fz6soldier3789d ago

how do you disagree with facts? must be butt hurt fanboys.

ChrisW3790d ago

@alb1899,

Those 80+ disagrees is just the simple-minded baaing you often hear on N4G.

HammerKong3790d ago

thing is that people are not believeing it here,i tell them why they are sad,first is titanfall is having more preorders on xbox one tha on any other platform and yeah titanafall on xbox one is having more preorders than infamous ss on ps4,the simple reason is titanfall is having more anticipation than infamous ss,no body care about what ps4 fanboys anticipate more,not saying i'am not anticipating infamos but titanfall is an fps and is not an cod with mecks.

TGF_Zero3790d ago

PS fanboys are tight, hahaha look at all those disagrees lol

I would imagine those agrees and disagrees would be switched if it was on a certain other system. ;)

Team_Litt3790d ago

DAT TitanFall! Less consoles sold, most pre-ordered software. I call highest selling next gen game on single platform by end of March. Yup, that confident!

Christopher3790d ago

Would have to beat the almost 2m sold of CoD:Ghosts on PS4 for that... I'm not seeing that at all by the end of March.

Team_Litt3790d ago

I thought killzone had more than 2 million sold and that is what I was aiming for.

Christopher3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

Not likely to do that, Team_Litt. Even KZ:SF took a few months to get to 2m+ sold. CoD Ghosts still has the most sold on both platforms, though.

Team_Litt3790d ago

I'm gonna stick to my guns on this one, CoD, Killzone or otherwise. 2.2 million by end of March.
Also, can we have some moderating up in here cgoodno?

MysticStrummer3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

Still waiting on the predicted big bump in XB1 sales due to TF. The attach rate seems to be mostly people who already have the console. For the week of March 1st PS4 still more than doubled XB1 sales, despite PS4 dropping 64% from the previous week and XB1 gaining 19%.

But, these numbers are simply estimates from more than a week ago so we'll see.

Edit - @disagrees - Ok, you win. The numbers are rock solid and XB1 is doomed… doomed I say… DOOMED!

; )

mhunterjr3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

Well the tf bundle didn't hit store shelves until today, and preorders wouldn't have shown up in last weeks report. The announcement of the bundle would have held some people back from buying the console last week, unless they were getting an in-store bundle of equal value.

We won't have an accurate picture until next week...

SG1_dapunisherX3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

You deserve those disagree. Wtf you talking about lol we get it you hate xbox doesn't mean you have to troll. Man lie, Women lie, TF number don't

MysticStrummer3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

"We won't have an accurate picture until next week…"

Agreed. Next week and the next few weeks.

"Man lie, Women lie, TF number don't"

You missed my point. TF numbers are only part of the equation. If TF's numbers are high, but PS4 can more than double XB1 sales despite a 64% drop vs a 19% gain for XB1, that means the attach rate is mostly people who already have an XB1.

You also missed the part where I said the numbers were estimates of how the market was over a week ago. If you think what I said constitutes hate then I don't really know what to tell ya except calm down.

D-riders3790d ago

yeah call of duty and metal gear is 30 bucks

Ra30303790d ago

@Team_Litt
Let's see if it can out sell Knack. Let's not get allllll it'll sell more than Call of Duty cause that's just kooky talk. Plus CoD has sold right around 2 million on the PS4 and we don't know for sure that the X1 cable box has sold more than 2.2 million. VGChartz may have a higher number but Microsoft will only confirm the shipped number. Soooo there's that.

Fz6soldier3790d ago

Infamous will quickly jump ahead. look and TF Pc and 360 sales. it's flipping like a fish.

SilentNegotiator3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

"Less consoles sold, most pre-ordered software"

Uhhh, easy to be the most pre-ordered when all of the other big games aren't a week before launch. Look at how many of the preorders are from just the last two weeks.

Mario Kart 8 is doing well for a Wii U game but...I was waiting more.

Metallox3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

Pre-orders were "sold out" on Amazon USA as well. Mario Kart 8's case it's wierd.

wonderfulmonkeyman3790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

I think that's just a weekly rate, though.
The total preorders for the game are going to be pretty large in the end, I'm sure.

mhunterjr3790d ago

Wow, the titanfall attach rate is going to be extremely high.

inFamous 3: Is PlayStation Working On A Second Son Sequel?

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake8d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn7d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga6d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX7d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup7d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer19927d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack7d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

xHeavYx7d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty6d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand1257d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc7d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg7d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

Ex Destiny and Halo Producer Says Live Service Is 'Better for Developers and Players'

A former Halo and Destiny executive producer has said the live service model is "so much better for developers and players" than the one-off $60 purchase model.

Christopher30d ago

Typically the best games of each year say otherwise.

Christopher30d ago

Alan Wake 2, BG3, Tears of the Kingdom, Elden Ring, GoW Ragnarok, Hades, Returnal, Fallout 4, Dishonored, It Takes Two, Untitled Goose Game, Breath of the Wild, both of The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Sekiro, Psychonauts 2, Control, Celeste, Super Mario Odyssey, Bloodborne, The Outer Wilds, The Witcher 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Cocoon, The Dredge, and more and more and more.

Up against Overwatch and Destiny as far as critical acclaim and recognition as 'better' for players.

And, let me be honest, even 'for developers' is a lie. Want to know why? Because it's only good for people who can pump out graphics constantly and not overall quest designers, coders, engine devs, etc.

What this guy means is "we can give a lot of cosmetic content to players, who we think players like more because people spend money on it, and it's best for us because we don't have to pay for a full team to create a new game and just the people to pump out new graphics from one season to another." In no way is his comment a true reflection of what is 'better for players' let alone 'better for the industry stability over longer periods of time.'

This is more investor mindset focusing on maximizing profits by getting consumers to buy less for more while they spend less making it. That's it.

You know what's best for players? Newer, better, and more content that is good and not just cosmetic. Live service isn't that unless you pay $60 a year to them to add more for it (like Destiny and CoD do). Then you might get some improvements and new content. Even then? Not usually.

just_looken29d ago

In terms of player feedback/awards yes but the list you made are all nothing in terms of profit.

Call of duty mobile alone laughs at that list that game is a billion dollar money making machine.

Toss in your apex/mmo/rivals/fortnight/robl ox/minecraft monoploy go or back to console with elder scrolls fallout 76.

Basically there is alot more live service style games that hit or go above the billion dollar mark than your list and that is what the people at top want cold hard cash. Heck alot fo them make a billion + a year

Gta 5 single player profit vs gtao profit as a example now that ps5/series has gtao as a free standalone with gta + there printing cash like its going out of style over there.

Christopher29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Being more profitable isn't better for the consumer or developers. That's better for executives in suits.

just_looken29d ago

@Christopher

Umm exactly who do you think pay's the bill's and hands out the games budgets?

They have 0 care about a games award's/feedback its all profit driven some use to care like sony back in the day now its profit first.

0 likes shows how many are still on copium thinking the big publishers care about them

aaronaton30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Well the Poll on the website is suggesting he is massively wrong and out of touch.
A big majority of the vote going to "I prefer one off purchases with paid expansions"

Couldn't agree more.

Inverno30d ago

I'll always think the concept is awesome. Back during the PS3 era I pictured a Spider-Man game that would be the traditional open world swinging playground that they typically are but every comic issue would be turned into dlc. It'd be the entirety of the Amazing line, 2 to 3 issues at a time, turnt to dlc until the entire Amazing line is told in form of a game. That concept eventually made it to the industry and they have consistently fk'd it up with every game that has been made as a "service".

jznrpg30d ago

There is nothing like sitting down , popping in a great single player game and blocking out the world.

OtterX30d ago

Sometimes I like to log into Fortnite and Call of Duty and just sit and listen to 12 years call me a n*****, f**, m***** f***** just so I can remember why I like to play single player games.

GhostScholar30d ago

Not for players over the age of 12

Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Dark Souls 2 “carried” the series forward

Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.

Read Full Story >>

anast151d ago

The game isn't good though.

Rols151d ago

DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.

CrimsonWing69151d ago

The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.

I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.

Aussiesummer151d ago

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville151d ago

I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.
