Forums - Gaming Discussion - Titanfall Overhyped???

Is it just me or does Titanfall seems to be way overhyped.   It looks like lost planet on steroids but with less players and bots.   Did Microsoft pay ign/gamespot a boatload of cash to try and hype it up?...obviuosly they did considering they are now paying random youtubers to promote the X1.  Since when did mechs and parkour become the most innovating thing in the world?

not according to those playing the alpha



It's definitely overhyped. Which may disappoint people if it doesnt meet up with the high expectations people have for it. It's a new IP and people are interested in it. So theres bound to be a lot of hype. It'll probably turn out good, just dont let the hype get to you



Mechs is tied with sex as the greatest thing ever in life.

Meh I don't particularly care for it. Then again, I'm getting tired of shooters in general.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

The fact that it's a respawn game and not some capcom outsourced TPS could be a key factor to explain the hype, but anyway titanfall looks like a lot of fun, only drawback for me is the lack of a campaign, but for people that like online multiplayer the game looks great.



I would say that's its over-hyped, but literally every preview I've read for the game has been positive. So maybe it really is THAT good.



In terms of review scores, no I think the hype is probably about right. In terms of likely sales on Xb one and its ability to massively increase sales of Xb one, yes I think it's overhyped.

Nope, its not over hyped at all. The game looks really good and people are looking forward to it.
