Unless Titanfall somehow shocks the world and completely bombs or the world destroys itself ala Fallout, Titanfall 2 is a definite and it will be out on PS4. Then it'll be interesting to see the naysayers lapping it up.

WolfLeBlack3744d ago

I agree that Titanfall seems very likely, but whether or not it'll be on PS4 is harder to judge. Obviously it'd allow Respawn to target a much larger market, but I'm also willing to bet that Microsoft will make some big offers to keep it exclusive.

dirigiblebill3744d ago

It's Mass Effect all over again, basically.

I'd like to see some more adventurous kinds of Titan. Dog Titans, for instance. Attack Dog Titans. Oh dear, I think I can see where this is going...

truefan13743d ago (Edited 3743d ago )

@Septic you sound so convinced, let me ask you a few questions 1. If you are a developer and a certain fanbase is hoping for your downfall, doing all they can to run down your first major project how would you feel? 2. Would you rather be paid lets say $250 million now (MSFT exclusive money and xbox sales), or potentially make $300 million (total sales only) later. Also EA is publishing the first title meaning they have to pay EA, but if they take MSFT's exclusive deal their slice of the pie gets larger, as MSFT would be the publisher. Respawn is always on twitter and probably look at some gaming sites, I'm sure they have seen the backlash from a certain fanbase. I wouldn't say its an absolute that it goes to ps4. Say what you want about MSFt, but they market their product, hell look at what they have already done with Titanfall. I would say Titanfall going multiplat is more in the range of 50-50, especially considering Respawn went from working in a busted down building to getting a fat check from MSFT. We shall see, but I'll be enjoying Titanfall 1 until that day comes.

DJustinUNCHAIND3743d ago

I wouldn't say "definite" when it comes to PS4.

Microsoft is doing system updates and special preparations just for this game.

Things that cost money.

Money that Microsoft has.

What's to stop them from giving Respawn a blank check?

Riderz13373743d ago

I'm a PlayStation fan but I think TitanFall looks like hella fun. Will I be a naysayer when I say it's awesome when it comes to the PS4?

Gazondaily3743d ago

You're not one now, why would you be a naysayer then?

Riderz13373743d ago

@Septic - Because it seems like you're grouping all PS4 fans together, saying they're all naysayers. Not good to generalize a fanbase =)

Gazondaily3743d ago

How did I group all PS4 gamers up?

maniacmayhem3743d ago

If the game is as big as it appears then I agree Titanfall 2 is a 100% definite.

But part 2 coming to Ps4...that's up in the air. Even though there has been a lot of articles confirming that the sequel is fair game I think it depends on sales of this and how many actual X1 it moves.

If this game actually moves a good number of X1's then you can bet that MS will get the blank check out and hand it to EA to keep the game an exclusive.

Hicken3743d ago

It's gonna have to move a helluva lot of XB1s. Already, EA is likely not liking the sales numbers, and wishing they hadn't made the first game exclusive. It'll have to be an absurd number for the second game to be exclusive, and that number would likely be so high as to prevent MS from actually generating any profit off the title's exclusivity. Or, at the least, not enough to justify having bought said exclusive status.

Cuz at the current rate, if Titanfall 2 drops(according to that "shooter rotation" of EA's) in about two years, we could be looking at a 10 million or more lead for the PS4. For EA to want to keep it on Xbox, they'd need a crazy high attach rate. Last time I paid attention, I think Destiny had higher preorders than Titanfall. Obviously, that doesn't mean everything, but it CAN be taken as something of an interest barometer.

I'm certain EA would prefer to double up on their sales by releasing the game on PlayStation consoles. And I'm sure Respawn will be paying more attention this time around, and not be caught unawares.

maniacmayhem3743d ago

"EA is likely not liking the sales numbers, and wishing they hadn't made the first game exclusive."

I doubt this, and I don't like this all of a sudden concern for 3rd part titles being exclusive. All of a sudden Titanfall is the only game that a third party company is supposedly regretting for putting on a console without the sales lead.

1. Why wasn't this same logic applied to MGS4 since 360 had a huge lead over the PS3 at the time.

2. The rumor is MS will drop the price of the X1, just as the PS3 did. And when that happened the PS3 started to gain and catch up to the 360 sales over good period of time.

3. People act like the X1 is a huge disappointment in terms of sales which it isn't. So how can EA be disappointed.

It's strange that everyone is laughing at EA for not putting this particular game on PS4. It just makes it all the more certain how popular and highly wanted this game truly is.

AceBlazer133743d ago

Nope this naysayer still wouldn't touch it with a stick. This game needs to be really, really, really, really good for it to survive. It's launching in March, the next CoD will be announced around that time, so it'll compete against CoD hype. Then you have the issue that apparently few people even knows it exists on 360, so Microsofts plan to push consoles may falter the game itself.

Whether this game succeeds or not, I doubt people really care. If it succeeds it only proves that people love the CoD formula and only bitch for the sake of bitching.

Pro Racer3743d ago

Already preordered Titanfall 3

What the heck game is not even out yet but the feed backs from people sure are not negative

jimjam34423743d ago

my hype for this game peaked at e3 and has been slowly decreasing since.

ShadowL93743d ago

Mine too, the game is not the revolution in MP FPS like people are saying, but more of an evolution of it. People die in three bullets, Titans are the new "kill streaks" but now you get one no matter what each game, etc.

The mobility and jet packs are definitely the most interesting thing to me, and more games need to incorporate that style of movement.

jimjam34423743d ago

dont get me wrong, the game looks fun, but honestly its basically call of duty: mech wars.

CrossingEden3743d ago

@jimjam, play the game first, apologize later, you've been saying "oh it's just cod with mechs" ALL DAY, we get it, you haven't played the game, don't know how it feels and you're basing your biased opinion on youtube videos, let it go.

jimjam34423743d ago

@CrossingEden your bubbles tell the whole story buddy.

ShadowL93743d ago

Whether they want to or not, you are going to see Titanfall 2, Titanfall 3, Titanfall 4: Postmodern Warfare, Titanfall Postmodern Warfare 2...etc.

EA is definitely betting on this becoming the next big cash cow and boy are they going to milk it.

DJustinUNCHAIND3743d ago

It will definitely spawn a sequel, no pun intended.

But after Titanfall 1, EA has no say over what happens with the franchise.

ShadowL93743d ago

They have already said they expect Titanfall to be a series around for a long time, they most certainly do have a say in that. You will see AT LEAST bi-annual releases if not annual releases in the coming years of this game if it sells well enough.

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante3743d ago

I'd rather them make a new IP after Titanfall. Titanfall looks good but it shouldn't be ruined with sequels. Just look at CoD: MW. The first game was really good but then it went downhill with each sequel.

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.

MadLad613d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g613d ago (Edited 613d ago )

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

gurp13d 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."

Respawn Entertainment is Discontinuing Sales of Original Titanfall

Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

Ethereal894d ago

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.

littletad894d 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.

Ethereal892d 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.
