The hype is heating up with Titanfall, with Respawn Entertainment announcing the beta for February 14th on the Xbox One and PC.
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
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.
Titanfall does look like it could be fun but I don't believe all the hype that this could be a game changer for the Xbone. Microsoft paid a lot of money for exclusivity so I see why they are hyping it in every single official post including their firmware post! FOR ME I don't like the idea that it's missing a single player campaign because no matter how good a PvP battle is sometimes I want to take a break from the mum insults and just get on explore a game world.
But if the hype and those 'incentivised' fan reviews on YouTube ;) end up influencing me me I will buy it for my 360 which means I can experience it for the cost of a regular game. No doubt it will look better on the Xbone but rumour is they will both be around the 720p mark. I don't think this is the game to make me throw down £430 just to play it.
BLOPS3 will basically be Titanfall. F those Call of Duty whores.
personally i think titan fall will do what gears did for the 360, and i know sony fans (i own a ps4) don't want to hear this but if this lives up to the hype forget ever getting it on ps4 MS will lock that ish up case in point the gears IP which they just bought
I'd be surprised to see the first titanfall on ps4. Perhaps it's going to be like mass effect where the first Part was the last one to be released on the ps3
MS has bottomless pockets.
If the game boosts Xbox One sales, they are going to make it rain over Vince Zampella.
