Where’d Titanfall Go?

"We all have that friend that you met and became (best) friends with in school, but something happened like you moved away that caused you to be left with only fond memories of your time together. And as time went on, a question started to form. Becoming ever more present as you remind yourself of better times, remembering the great friends you wish you still had and wishing your youth could be reclaimed. The question of: what happened to them?"

[Majin-vegeta]

It was just overhyped.It came and went.

@Narc you got any proof of this?

[Dwalls1171]

To be honest it was always just a Mehh type of game . .
I remember watching countless videos of gaming personalities from various sites fan gasming all over titan fall.

While I was sitting their thinking umm all I see is call of duty with mechs
Its just an average game

[user1439414]

Titan what?

[n4rc]

Except its still being played by tons of people?
Lol..

[XisThatKid]

first off I'm not a anti Titanfall advocate but I have to put in a comment or two...
ok there are about lets say 5 million X1s out in the wild now from what I understand they sold per MS and Respawn the game sold like 1 mill in a week or a day or something like that, NOT BAD AT ALL ads and hype sells. Sales wise from my observation and MS rep from gamestop in my area I say Titanfall has around a 0.5 install base meaning about half X1 owners bought TF at some point not including trade ins and pre orders or anything. Also really good. about 4-500,000 on 360 in sales, OK. With all that being said playing today and judging off the amount of games on right now (7:11PM 8/1) roughly 3-400,000 people on almost all american. That's a ridiculous drop though. The games been out for less then 6 months with regular updates and decent support.
I think the game is cool and I won't have trouble getting a game or anything plus if anyone bought it today and played for a week there are enough players on that you will not play the same person twice. My point is that although there are people playing this game but this game was obviously over hyped. Almost rightfully so. Respawns first game, Mechs, FPS, CoD fatigue, massive ads, XBox croud, dedicated servers, E3 hype, EA. This game had everything goin for it it just didn't live up to it to most I guess. I just wouldn't say " a TON of people play" A TON of people play GTA, a Ton play CoD a ton play Battlefield (all assuming, just wouldn't be my words of choicce tryin to make n internet point. I personally think EA and Respawn bet on the wrong horse with the exclusive. Maybe "360>PS3" mentality hang over I guess what their prediction was based on.

Nothing like the Killzone Shadowfall drop-off though, sheesh....

****This is all based on my own observation and info collection from Gamestop I'm at and various twitter and websites and articles and of course my experiences with the game itself from June till today.

[Mac420]

But has yet to surpass even Halo CE numbers even with 3 platforms to purchase it on. This game is dead, glad I never listened to my friends an Gameflyed this game.

[Pinkdolphinyfg]

Proof? Heres an article from last week of Titanfall continuing to top the xbox one/360 sales chart.

http://n4g.com/news/1553253...

I also find it quite amusing that your asking for proof of people still playing Titanfall yet YOU YOURSELF was leaving comments on the article were Titanfall was topping charts that I linked above. Your knowingly saying things that are untrue which is pretty sad imo lmao.

EDIT: Talk about good journalism. This guy wrote an article about how nobody is playing Titanfall yet in the same article he says

"Even with all these new releases I might still pick up a copy of TF at some point, so it’s not that I don’t like the game."

So how did you come to that conclusion? What utter Bullshit. N4g needs to do a better job at approving articles like these with little to no journalistic integrity whatsoever.

[CorndogBurglar]

The article didn't say no one is playing it anymore.

He said there is no more hype for it. No one praises it anymore. And thats actually true. I can't remember the last time anyone was on here talking about Titanfall.

[n4rc]

Because it came out 5 months ago!! Lol

I mean damn...

[gangsta_red]

@Majin

You have any proof it isn't?

The game is still being played an enjoyed by Xbox owners. Why do we need an article every minute of this? If we did all we would get are people like Majin saying it's overhyped and a CoD with Bots.

[MSBAUSTX]

I agree Majin. I played the beta and was impressed. I bought the game, brought it home, opened it up, popped it in and played it for 7 days straight. After achieving greatness and doing everything there was to do in the entire game in 7 days, I promptly traded it in before it's price inevitably dropped. I knew it was going to loose its new car smell very quickly. It was a fun game and had its moments but it was like a super hot girl in Highschool, shallow and full of itself. I will wait for a more intelligent game to come along next time.

[assdan]

Yeah. People mostly lost interest within a few weeks.

[Necr0philiac]

Titan Fall has outsold Call Of Duty Ghosts on Xbox one by over 100,000 copy's and only about 400,000 copy's less then Ghosts on PS4(.5 million more than Killzone). Keep in mind the PS4 has 4 million more consoles sold than the Xbox one and the game came out 4 months after COD ghosts.

I still play Titan fall every day and love the new maps and game mode. Marked for Death is fast paced fun and has a completely different feel than attrition.

[mhunterjr]

I don't think it went anywhere. It released... A
TON of People are playing it on xb1. You don't see to many articles about games 4 months after it's been released... If that's what you are asking...

[truefan1]

Uhh it's still be played by many people and is still in the top 5 sold games in the UK and top 10 in the US. I don't play it as much as I did for the first 2-3 months after launch, but I still play it on weekends. The game is freaking great in terms of gameplay and maps, but there is just not enough content mainly in the guns department.

Is there supposed to still be articles every week or something, the game has been out for nearly 5 months.

[strangeaeon]

My brother and I still play about 3 times per week, and find games quickly. Its still at the top of the X1/360 charts, so I fail to see the purpose of this article.

[Jury]

That's because it's bundled

[gamer1138]

Still playing and loving it. Slowly making my way up the generations.

[Sayai jin]

Me too. The DLC was really needed and it added extra play time to the game. I saw an flux of people playing it.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Same. It's lacking content but the gameplay is gosh darn AMAZING IMO!

[chrissx]

I know ppl still playing titanfall. I don't knw what news/update abt the game the writer is looking for

[jnemesh]

What happened? You mean people stopped playing a SHALLOW, overyhyped game with limited replayability? Wow, what a shock!

Also, it's hard to play this game once you have traded in your Xbox One...just sayin'

[headspin]

Shite journalism and you're -
A- a little child who hates what he can't have
Or
B- just a massive cock.

[daBUSHwhaka]

Massive Cock.

[strangeaeon]

Wow, how original, I have never seen a viewpoint such as yours. You have given me food for thought. I really enjoy SHALLOW, overhyped games with limited replayability. I need to rethink my life now, thank you for opening my eyes jnemesh/s

[Gr1mmyshadows]

It's still here any many people still play it. Esports didn't pick it up for no reason

[Vegamyster]

The lack of guns & Titans feel likes it's trying to be a balanced competitive shooter but it's casual in nature which loses its replay value, the reason games like CS/CSS/CSGO are still being played is due to them being competitive despite not having a ton of content either.

[yankolo]

It didnt go nowhere im playing it right now...and its awesome... (opinion) dont hate... play...

[700p]

Well nothing? Its still topping charts..so people are still playing/buying. The real question is..WHAT HAPPENED TO IMFAMOUS?

[GW212]

Infamous was a single player game. You aren't making a good comparison. Nice try though. Way to skirt the issue.

But to your question, I find myself playing infamous more than I do titanfall. Titanfall got old very quickly. MS is probably very glad it's almost MCC time.

[700p]

But wasnt infamous a hyped up game that disappeared quickly? Like nobody talks about it. Also you're saying that single player games dont sell well? LOL.

[MCTJim]

LOL. This got approved? I still play this game a lot....it's still here and quite good as it was day one

[darren_poolies]

It didn't go anywhere, I'm playing it right now on my Pc and having an absolute blast :)

[hello12]

It wasn't a system seller that's what confuses Sony fans. Microsoft was hoping it would be but it wasn't really a title that would sell consoles. Its a good game, but i wouldn't say its the best game i have ever played.

Its letdown by the annoying bots running around the map, for me

It sold well and people still play it. I always find full lobbies. A game is only dead if nobody is playing and thats not the case with this game.

[Boody-Bandit]

"It wasn't a system seller that's what confuses Sony fans."

No. MS is the ones scratching their heads wondering why this game didn't move consoles. This is in their wheel house and it failed to boost sales of the XBOX ONE.

Everything else you wrote I agree with.
I had a blast Titanfall for a few days but it wore off rapidly and I stopped playing it after a few short weeks.

[headspin]

Just for the record, me and my mates (not online mates, proper mates) have clocked up ridiculous hours on this game, I'm gen 9 but should be a gen 10 cos I can't be arsed using the smart pistol for one of the challenges, not played a game online this much since halo 2 & 3, and they were amazing. No other FPS online on consoles has even come near that for me, and I loved KZ online, but that's like that great burger you love compared to a fillet steak.

[Gore-Content]

where it belongs. in the oblivion.

[windblowsagain]

Meh graphics. Mechs were not bad overall.

A.I was pointless.

It is COD with Mechs. But missing loads of options.

I played some on PC, but got bored of it.

I'm actually playing a free game atm.

WAR THUNDER on both PC/PS4.

[GoPanthers999]

Great fun in short bursts. Gets repetitive fast. Always amazed when I see these Gen 8 & Gen 10 folks, figure their folks won't buy them something else to play.

[dkgshiz]

Game was fun for a week. Its problems were the following
1.Default weapons were better then the weapons you unlocked further down the line
2.Getting to max rank was way too simple and quick
3.Rinse repeat (Like all games)-for the most part
4.Not much content for a $60 game, should have been $40 max

[masterfox]

not weird at all.

[Jury]

Have you seen titanfall?

Hmm I wonder where titanfall went

[Legend]

Once again, people here thinking this site is actually representative of the majority of gamers as a whole. I know it's shocking but most gamers spend their time playing games and not posting about them on the internet. The point? Just because there aren't 30 stories a day pertaining to a game it doesn't mean people aren't playing it. These sites mainly serve as hype machines for the "next big thing."

[marioJP87]

It went in the same direction as Infamous Second Son. Both sold millions and is still receiving DLC. Except we can all be assured that more people are playing Titanfall. For the simple fact that it's multiplayer. And you don't have to worry about no replay value or boredom.
And this is coming from someone who has both games and consoles.

[HacSawJimThugin]

Where'd Titanfall go huh? Apparently nowhere because as much as ppl love to hate on this game, it still gets mad attention.

Whether it be good or bad press, naysayers and fans can't get it out of there mind. It still is sell well almost 5 months later, I play daily and I'm still jump kicking the shizz out if Gen 1's. Your negative opinions mean less than nothing because sales. Lol.

I'm Gen 10 and I still love the game. If you have played it and traded it so what...Respawn thanks you for the sale and data. You have inadvertently helped them make the sequel better. This, Destiny, and the MCC will be the best shooters until Gears 4 drops (You too Division).

In conclusion, Titanfall is STILL the truth to the people who continue to support it. Your negatively falls on deaf ears. Thank you all for keeping it relevant with your hate/love.

[GW212]

No one gives it any attention anymore. That's the "truth"

[HacSawJimThugin]

You just did...thanks for your comment.

[DirtyLary]

It will have the community it wanted once TF2 hits the PS4.

[objdadon]

They must get rid of the bots! I stopped at gen 8 in the fist month. It started off fun for a bit and then just got boring cause it wasn't competitive.

[Artista]

The game topped charts. . it's still in the 'best selling' charts.

There are probably more players on Titanfall Xbox One than there is on Killzone SF multiplayer, write an article about that ^_^. .

The graphics and high resolution didn't stop the mass trade-ins of Killzone SF.

[tgunzz]

Game is sick as ever, and it go a sweet frame rate boost!!! Wow!!!!

[e-p-ayeaH]

Still havent played it but i can see why it never got mass appeal and being console exclusive on xbox was one of those things.

Many people havent played Titanfall that´s another fact also it looks pretty generic which is another thing that turns off for many folks it lacks depth.

[n4gusername]

It went into some poorly written recent copycat articles.

[tommygunzII]

The easiest way to find it is to follow Destiny.
