GamesRadar - When the original Titanfall first arrived on Xbox One there was a window of uncertainty surrounding it’s exclusivity. Many thought it might be timed but that was soon shut down, confining the game to Xbox.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
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.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
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."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
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.
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.
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.
Seems it was a bit of a mistake as well.
I remember them saying they were surprised.
well there you go... the first titanfall was originally a timed exclusive after all like i've been saying since before it was ever released, and even after it was made a full exclusive because of the overwhelming evidence that suggested that it was never meant to be a full exclusive.
The only surprise to Respawn was how many zero's was on the check Microsoft handed them (EA that is of course!)
As many copies that were sold between PC,Xbox 360 and Xbox1. Looking in hindsight I'm sure Respawn would have second guessed the decision to go exclusive in lue of what they have no doubt missed out on, especially factoring in the instant success the PS4 has become.
There's no doubt in my mind that the PS4 version would have likely outsold the PC,Xbox 360 and Xbox1 versions combined, or came damn near close to it.
I think deals like these are a constant reminder to developers of being careful of whose bed you lie down in, or you just might wake up with bed bugs!
I'm more surprised the 2nd one is coming to PS4. Wasn't it only possible with the imaginary cloud☁?
