Koku writes: "Like many of us you’re probably staying up all night awaiting the release of Titanfall to arrive at midnight.

Well that's kind of disappointing. :(

I too enjoy getting together with my friends and getting some private matches on it's the only area i don't get my ass kicked in.

Cinotix3720d ago

Yea, but I think not enough people play it to be a priority at lunch unfortunately.

Ziriux3720d ago

Until than, I guess I'll be getting my ass kicked, although I was in the beta, so I think i have a little headstart. :p

Cinotix3720d ago

Meh everyone will be new so you're ok!

Gazondaily3720d ago

Kind of sucks, especially for those wanting to make Red v Blue type machinima stuff.

BX813720d ago

@ septic that's a good point. At first I was thinking who cares? Probably a bunch of kids who want to find glitch spots but people do make some pretty cool videos.

Ziriux3720d ago

Let make a show Septic! :p

OMFG PRE ORDER CANCLED TITANFALL WILL FAIL!!!

JK lol. Hope they add it soon.

pompombrum3720d ago

This was known a good few weeks ago or was at least seriously implied when they mentioned they'd release private matches functionality in a post launch patch.

Ziriux3720d ago

Yea but than some people that played the games early I remember saying they had access to private matches. It's good to hear it officially.

jdiggitty3720d ago

Could you be thinking of private servers instead? Devs and media types get access to closed servers.

I'd really like to be able to do this though. It helps learning the maps so much to just fire up a private match and go.

Summons753720d ago

Ouch, that's going to hurt for people who wanna get use to the game with friends or take a look at the maps with little distractions.

Multiplayer games should always have private matches and local multiplayer. These devs ignoring this show how they clearly are out of touch with gamers... Game is meh anyway, rent or bargain bin at best

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.

MadLad615d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g615d ago (Edited 615d ago )

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

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.

Ethereal894d 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.
