gamescom 2013: Why 'Titanfall' is our game of the show

Digital Spy: Titanfall had a tremendous amount of buzz around it at gamescom. First, it was the outstanding trailer that debuted during EA's press conference, stringing together exhilarating set-pieces that showcase what makes it unique.

[Dragonborn312]

I think Titanfall looks epic.

[pedrof93]

Actually it looks not good that compared to other games. I mean if you compare to other games like Destiny,Killzone,BF and so.

The game looks incredibly fun, but the source engine is dated, the graphics,the shadows and even physics aren't good. Just look closely on the trailers and you'l notice.

But then again, this is their first game, the next one will have a bigger budget.

@Lord

Well yeah LOL, the titans walk and stand the same as normal players.

[Lord_Sloth]

It looks like an FPS game with a taller FPS game in it.

[malokevi]

Looks dope, nuff said.

[Irishguy95]

Yeah il be getting this on pc abd bf4 for my graphics fix. kz has pisspoor gameplay and destiny will be epic

[malokevi]

Ahahaahahaha, 2 agrees, 4 disagrees. Sounds about right. As if it's news that the ratio of pathetic little boys on N4G is about 2-1.

Eat your heart out kiddies. Great game in the making, anyone who denies it is miserably transparent.

;)

[Irishguy95]

The amount of buzz about this going to ps4 is hilarious. Ps gamers want it so bad. Its the most interesting.multiplayer fps shown for next gen and everyone knows it.

[Flutterby]

I am far from impressed , I may be wrong but haven't we only seen pc gameplay and even that is underwhelming graphics wise , what will the Xbox one version look like if pc doesn't look good?

Looking at the recent preorders as well titanfall with all it's overhype isn't selling too well compared to destiny which is coming out at the same time and pretty much every other game is out selling it too, It may be just me but it feels like people are trying to force the hype.

[Irishguy95]

Graphics graphics graphics. Its the only fault they can find its all they talk about. Hete is proof that sony gamers do care about graphics folks. You should get a pc if you're so worried about graphics flutterby

[Kingnichendrix]

Its next Gen the graphics should compliment the gameplay if not what the hell is the point of buying a next gen console

[HammadTheBeast]

Yeah I can't wait.

Playing it, as usual, best on PC.

[SuperLupe]

Like all those f2p games on the PS4 ? Or maybe the indie games ?

At the end of the day I guess you wont be using your PS4 a lot since you love your PC so much.

[HammadTheBeast]

Can't play Killzone or Infamous, or God of War, or Heavy Rain/Beyond, or Uncharted, or Last of Us on PC. Sadly.

And it's f2p/Indies, Idgaf lol.

[SuperLupe]

Last time I checked you cant play God of War, Heavy Rain, Beyond, Uncharted nor LOU on the PS4.

That leaves you with Killzone and Infamous next year.

I guess you'll be getting your multiplats on the PC too right ? As usual and better on PC like you say.

May as well delay the purchase of your PS4 for a year or two so it can have a decent catalog of excusives.

[StraightPath]

Damn titanfall is getting hyped alot this game could be megaton. If ms was wise they will try pay big cash to keep this exclusive as its blowing everyone away and could be next big thing. Ps4 desperate for this as one of biggest game next gen! No other game has appealed as this never heatd no one wanting killzone this one seems like attracting both sides. Ps4 fans are dissapointed and really want it to come on ps4. I hope it does come on ps4! As next big thing looks epic

[BlackTar187]

if this game was multiplatform the Hype wouldn't be as big.

[Boody-Bandit]

@BlackTar

^True statement right there.

If TitanFall was multiplat, IMO, I feel Destiny would be killing it in hype. No doubt about it. TitanFall looks fun but Destiny looks to be stunning (visually) story driven series like Halo and has both on and offline modes.

TitanFall is online only. Personally for me that lowers it's anticipation. I use to be big on online gaming but the past couple years I prefer gaming offline more than online.

I will wait for impressions from gamers I know before even considering picking up an online only game. I think this is a huge gamble for Respawn and I don't understand why they didn't have a single player campaign. I'd bet, giving 10 to 1 odds, TitanFall 2 will have a SPC.

[spicelicka]

I think it's also cuz it's so accessible. All other multiplayer games that compare to titanfall are either sequels like battlefield and killzone with nothing brand new to show (not implying they're bad), or they're very ambitious and can't really be properly assessed until all the players start playing, these games include destiny, division, etc. I mean it's much harder to assess an mmo like game at a booth vs a drop-in drop-out game like titanfall.

[black0o]

destiny is a next gen title, there is no depth in titanfal 'so far', i guess only COD fans are the once attracted to it

[SuicideKing]

Isn't Destiny going to be on Xbox 360 and ps3 as well?

Anyway I am very excited for this game, I love the mobility!

[pandehz]

Not everyone needs mmo like depth all the time.
I already have a job. I don't want cod either.

Titanfall looks like the right combination of what I want. I played UT, BF and CS.

Titanfall has taken some good bits from those.

From E3 its Titanfal, Mirrors Edge 2 and BF4 that had me excited. Destiny was a bit so-so, still trying to figure out what makes it so awesome like. The presentation was great but I think after a week in game ppl will see its true colours. Will have to wait and see.

[black0o]

they need to tell us a little bit more info about it .. so far is just another MP match in COD with mesh, and I can't see any BF element in it ??

[spicelicka]

Am I the only one thinking how epic a campaign to this would've been? I can only imagine due to the smaller budget and team they only chose single player, it's gonna get crazy in the sequel for sureee.

[Dragonborn312]

I am not a big COD fan but I am very excited for Titanfall. It just seems fresh and innovative. I love how fluid it is; the agility of the pilots combined with the Titans has me pumped. Almost every major gaming site I look at has Titanfall as their game of the show, so that has to mean something. Clearly the game is a lot of fun.

[user7402931]

im going to use the share button a lot on this game, it looks like fun. I wonder if its coop?

[skydragoonity]

The share button will definately be of high importance in this game. Your right.

[cell989]

Very good point, save that one awesome air kill

[Bigpappy]

There is no share button on X1 or PC. But you can still capture your hot moments when you get your X1, it has all the features you need. It is the console that has the largest feature set.

[user7402931]

im getting it for ps4.

[Kingnichendrix]

Haha Dirty Pimp you troll

[spicelicka]

lol i think you're trolling on ps4, cuz it hasn't been announced for it

[Fishy Fingers]

Gameplay just looks fantastic and seems to have left its mark on everyone who's played it. Right up my street, should be a lot of fun for me.

[pandehz]

Yea lol everyone I read about who has had a hands on keep saying the gameplay is just fantastic.

Love the fluidity. I've always thought why can't i think something and do it just as fast. This looks close to that.

[cell989]

It's a multiplayer game only, idk about gane of the show status

[kevnb]

I'm tired of tacked on single player, almost as much as I am of tacked on multiplayer.

[kevnb]

I feel like Titanfall is stealing Destiny's thunder. Seeing more of Destiny has me less interested each time, while more of Titanfall gets me more interested.

[BlackTar187]

Can you imagine the Hype behind Destiny if it was a xbox exclusive? It would be huge.

[kevnb]

ya probably, its already pretty huge in the Halo sort of way. I think im bored of bungie, destiny looks like another halo game... this time with a borderlands influence. Im not much of a console guy though, and when I do game on console its nintendo and sony exclusives.

[SuperLupe]

If I recall properly documents leaked on the net last year that MS had the choice to make Destiny exclusive or not since its Bungies first game as a multiplat dev and it was one of MS conditions in letting them go.

It seems like MS chose not to have it as an Xbox One exclusive. I wonder why though. Who would say no to having a game with this much hype as an excusive ?

[shivvy24]

@superlupe , ms got titanfall instead

[SuperLupe]

Same here man. The more I see of Destiny the less I understand what is so revolutionary about it. I still dont see why I should think its the next big thing.

As for TitanFall it looks great but wouldnt have mind if graphically it looked a bit more next gen ... like Destiny for instance ^^

[No_Limit]

Day One! impulse trigger and dedicated server will make this game so sweet. I think this game has the chance to be what MW1 is to the COD franchise. In another word, killer app.

[Supermax]

How many game of shows has killzone got from this year very time I read another gameing site they all say the same thing titanfall wins game of the show.

[Belking]

It's easy to see why titan fall won game of the show for lots of people. All the other shooters are basically the same thing. TF is new and it adds a little twist with the ecto skeleton mechs. Plus the way that they incorporate them is pretty cool idea. I may be picking this one up on PC as well as xbox-one.

For people that don't know, MS games won twice as many awards as the competition.

[1lawrence]

im tired of the fanboys i dont like microsost but i love titan fall its going to suck i have to wait 6 months to a year to play it but thats one game thats impressive

[cell989]

@ Belkin : For people that don't know, mechs were used in Killzone 3 multiplayer so nothing new here. Also Titanfall is not a Microsoft ip, so any award received for this game isn't for Microsoft it's for EA and Respawn

[pandehz]

Mechs were used wayyyyy before KZ. I mean YEARSSS ago.

Its how Titanfall has implemented mechs into a fast paced synchronous team like unit with a go in and out rapid style combat. Its how they have delivered is much better than what KZ did.

Yea funny he thought Microsoft lmao

[Belking]

Dude please. The game is on their platforms so they do get recognition. I never said mechs weren't used in games before. The way they used them is certainly very unique though. Killzone 3 mechs were kinda boring imo and really didn't add much to gameplay. This game takes it to another level. It's a brilliant idea and it looks awesome. Plus, the dedicate servers and cloud usage will make this a must have title. Sony screwed up by not getting this game on ps4 as next year. I think it's gonna be huge and if it does you know MS is gonna pay big to keep it on xbox only.

[C-Thunder]

It looks fun but it also looks like there's not much depth in the game, just run full on and shoot... I'm looking forward to playing it, but I feel like once its out it'll have its few weeks of "this is amazing!" Then reality sets in and everyone moves on. I hope not, hope it has awesome team work and deep strategic gameplay ala something like battlefield.

[Supermax]

The fact is every major gameing site you too titanfall is there choice for game of the show at gamescon and e3.
