Forums - Gaming Discussion - Titanfall exclusivity proved to be (quite) pointless

EA really messed this up. Not having it on at least the PS3 was a big mistake is terms of gamer enthusiasm for a new franchise.

I think sales would've been better if Titanfall was released in Oct. or Nov. since it's such a mainstream game.


I bet they have a "GOTG" version around the holidays that includes the DLC packs.

 Really Tomas?

Comparing a franchise to a new entry must be the thing now.

Don't let the hate blind you friend.

So Titanfall is the EA's CoD.

It is sad but I have only one word to describe who believe that or agree with... FACEPALM!

The overhyped blinded you guys.

I think it's the opposite.

A good hype and marketing never hurted anyone/game.

I'm pretty sure some gamers like you are disturbed that TF, had hype beasts behind it and an immense gamers enthusiasm. Plus it sold with a 3:1 tie in ratio; amazing for a new IP. Equally hyped continuing franchises couldn't even do that on different platforms with higher installbase.

Detractors had more threads saturating VGC, than gamers rejoicing the mentioned glme. I know this because you're in EVERY SINGLE one of them.

EA has been trying to have it's own COD for many years. Finally they got it, and they messed it up.

It is not even close to CoD... even Battlefield is bigger than Titanfall right now.

You say that as if Battlefield isn't a massive franchise.

I'm in any single thread in this site... so what is your point?

Now how is it the opposite?

A: Titanfall is the EA's CoD

Ethomaz: Not even close...

B: You are blind

I don't even needs discuss with you guys... just laugh.

It is not.

EA was always jealous they can't create a massive franchise like CoD... they tried with Medal of Honor, Battlefield (at least the most susseful) and now they bet on Titanfall.

Again they will see not just Activison mataining the CoD franchise but they will see a new massive franchise coming from Activision again.

PS. Battlefield had a strong fan base but it is not massive.

Battlefield 3 is at nearly 20m units sold. If that's just "strong" then Gran Turismo's fanbase must be just "okay," right?

Yourself awnsed your own question.

How much BF3 sold on PS3? GT5 beat it... Same for Halo... How much BF3 sold on 360? CoD and GTA beat both games in PS360... do you understand what massive means?

CoD or GTA selling 20 million are declining... doom... fail... dead.

PS. Dammit I forget GTA is not released on PC yet... not a good example... BTW I agree my comparison with Battlefield was a bit silly... sorry I forget EA have Medal of Honor too... so Titanfall right now is not even at the Medal of Honor level... compare it with CoD is just ridiculous.

Not being released on other consoles doesn't make a franchise bigger. Or vice-versa.

And what does decline have to do with anything? We're talking about total sales. 20m from a COD or GTA, while still a decline, is still a massive number of people buying a specific game.

Maybe you should compare COD's numbers when it was a new IP too before you call anything ridiculous.

Neither small... you, me or anybody else don't know... which is bigger? GT or Battlefield? I know GT5 sold way more on PS3... franchise? GT sold more too (over 70m)...

You asked if Battlefield 3 sales are massive... well they aren't... It sold great in all platforms but not massive in neither.

And yes... say Titanfall is the EA's CoD is utter ridiculous but you know I'm blind lol
