Fast and Kinectic don't mix. Kinect controls have a ton of latency.

Please tell me there won't be kinect involve.
Oh wait, I'm on PC, my bad.

christocolus3753d ago (Edited 3753d ago )

Lol... for a second i thought the title read "An Immensely Fast, Kinect Experience"... lmao.

@aftermoth

It has nothing to do with kinect. You are reading it wrong or is it understanding it wrong. He is talking about a kinectic experience not a kinect experience.

@steampowered and garethvk

Lmao...if it was a full kinect game,im guessing the pre-orders would drop over night from 230k to 10.

SteamPowered3753d ago

Same here. I figured the internet would have exploded by now if he did say "kinect" in the quote.

Garethvk3753d ago (Edited 3753d ago )

That would be funny. Running in place, raising your finger gun and making shooting noices. Then stomping like the Hulk when in mech mode. All the while it is taking video of you and sending it online and then the Feds classify you a risk based on your erratic and violent behavior. You try to get on the plane to Comic Con or PAX and get a real suprise.

That would of course be the worst-case scenario.

Garethvk3753d ago

Not to be to morbid but can you imagine the EA offices if all the pre-orders started to vanish as they need this one to work well at launch and be good. They cannot afford another BF 4 and Sim City at the moment.

Garethvk3753d ago

I will be playing it on PC. I hope that A, EA releases a stable game light on bugs, and that B, the game has a good control system that is responsive. I do not want gameplay decided purely on twitch factor.

Bill_Willson_CIA3753d ago

If Titanfall have Kinect support,well the game is doomed!

yocdub3753d ago

Oh man I can't wait "not" to play this!

Garethvk3753d ago

I am starting to lean to a wait and see on it due to EA's issues. Plus their P.R. firm is great on blowing off reviewers saying oh, demands are to high, thanks for all the pre launch coverage but we are not sending review units. Now the games are bombing they are hiding and not nearly so vocal. we have heard far more from the music publicity team than we have for the full game.

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.

MadLad616d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g616d ago (Edited 616d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp16d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

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."

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.

littletad896d ago

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.

Ethereal895d ago

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.
