Yes it did, so it would be like throwing good money after bad. A port is not free to make.

I don't want a port. My point was that the guy shouldn't be laughing when the future of his IP is in doubt. Soon he might not make Titanfall for any system.

It still sold 2m and it's not an internal EA studio. Dunno if its another Titanfall, but i'm sure they will make more games with those kind of numbers.

 

Still, i don't know why everyone is beeing hostile to the guy. He is right. It's not like this comes as a surprise to anyone.

They were expecting to sell over 10 million copies lol.

You're wrong.  Ps4 has a software ratio of something over 7:1.  And considering we get free games every month to play that's very impressive. 

well..... lets work with him here.

It probably is that for some reason PS3 owners like to purchase multiple copies of the same game. Thats why the atach ratio is where its at

Yeah you're right.  I only own the last of us on ps4 and bought it 7 times because it's the game of 2 gens.  Sounds legit.

1.) he was drunk as balls 2.) he just shat all over the new Zelda

take it for what it is lol

I mean, zelda can teach him some stuff about gameplay design

No not really, i think developers (mainly FPS) can learn a lot from Respawn as Titanfall 2's gameplay is phenomenal.



Nothing new here. What's up with all of these ad hominem attacks?

So basically the Switch is going to be the Wii U2 (Bono to sue for copyright infringement shortly). Same old story... we're going to get a trickle of 1st party releases over the system's life span coupled with a handful of games that try to capitalize on the "innovative" motion control gimmick of the JoyCons but ultimately flop because that casual market has moved on from the likes of the Wii and Kinect to mobile and tablets and is never coming back no matter how hard Nintendo wants to believe otherwise.

You know, if Nintendo had just given us a standard console that is at minimum on par with the PS4 in terms of power that's also game-card based instead of having an optical drive and HDD, they could have released the thing for $299 and it would have satisfied the majority of gamers out there as they would finally have a console to play both Nintendo 1st party titles and most of the major 3rd party multiplatform titles on.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

What would be the point of a third identical console (this late into the generation no less)? Why would the people who regularly buy third party games all of a sudden switch from PS4 or XBONE to this new console you propose? And who says the majority of the third party developers would support them? The Gamecube proves that cheap price and power isn't enough for Nintendo to succeed or to get the majority of the third party support. 

And no, the Switch is very different from the Wii U.

I hope the Switch succeeds, but is anybody else starting feel deja vu. I mean Sega had the same issues with the Dreamcast.



I think that developers need to look at the Switch something that they can port -some- things too, but not everything. Maybe the fact that the console is so "easy" to develop for, will encourage them to put in the effort and try to scale things down accordingly for the console, in the hope of at least some sales. Surely Nintendo would have thought this through



I'm expecting tons of support in Japan but that's about it. Nintendo has pretty much shunned western support outside of a couple indie teams.
