Titanfall 2 dev says PS4 is 'easy to get to grips with'

Respawn Entertainment chats about the process of bringing Titanfall 2 to the PS4.

MasterCornholio2914d ago

Should mean less problems for those who are planning to buy this. That's never a bad thing.

sony made a very well designed system but it took them losing the north american market to finally cave in and stop making proprietary hardware that was difficult to work on.

TwoForce2914d ago

I have been waiting for this.

andrewsquall2914d ago

We know. Even the talentless studios could easily hit 1080p on PS4 games at launch and that is when the console had less tools and more system memory, taken up by background things, to optimise the games with.
Talented devs have been having a grand old time with the console. You've just been missing out Repsawn because of that whole banking on Xbone in the beginning thing.

Charybdis2914d ago

Shame that Sony turned down the game. Its a good thing EA managed to get the funding from Microsoft but didn't make it fully exclusive.

badz1492914d ago

Sony turned down the game? EA got funding from MS? Seriously dude, where did you get all these baseless claims? MisterX?

Sony didn't turn down anything, and EA had "funding" problems? You freakin kidding me? You really believed that? Wake up already dude!

EA and MS struck a deal, simple as that and it was a no secret that EA favored the Xbone from the start of this gen. MS got a high profile console exclusive and EA got extra money for it. Even Respawn themselves were taken by surprise regarding the deal. The article was all over the internet and you can look it up.

badz149... really now

"or at least that’s what Geoff Keighly’s Final Hours App is claiming." So it has been confirmed from a videogame journalist or Respawn? "One financial analyst claimed he had the inside scoop with the management of Electronics Art, saying the Titanfall PS4 port was cancelled due to EA assuming the PlayStation 4 would fail." No offense but these look like rumors.

Edit

Forget what I wrote as I did not see the second link.

Is very amazing how uninformed you are.

Same architecture, apart from that convoluted ESRAM pool, which is easier here since it's a single fast lane on GDDR5.

Nothing surprising.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 7h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 8h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 7h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing11h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken20h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper20h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 10h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 10h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 9h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 9h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 8h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
