IMO they are both a little overhyped. Some have called Destiny a Halo/Borderlands mash up.... Titanfall is really only being hyped because its exclusive. Lets be honest, if it were multiplatform it wouldnt be getting nearly as much hype as it is. It's basically COD with mechs, and no single player or co-op. I know its crazy, but a lot of people actually play COD's campaigns. They were also critical in creating hype and "controversy" for COD, with edgy chapters that had an option to be skipped by players, and Michael Bay set pieces. Not having single player is going to hurt Titanfall a little bit. |
I think it's the exact opposite. Despite being on the platform the majority of hardcore gamers hate, Titanfall has been sweeping nearly every single Game of the show award in terms of critics choice and audience choice. Titanfall is probably one of the only thing keeping xbox one relevent among that audience. If anything the massive hype would be much bigger if it was actually on the console that is getting massively hyped, the ps4.
I still think Destiny should still beat it out. It seems very likely that ps4 will win the initial launch period and Bungie made a smart choice by focusing advertising on ps4. The big halo fans that get an xbox one will get the game regardless. It is the sony fans that have never picked up a halo game that will have to be won over.
Even if Titanfall reaches absolutely massive levels of sale, being on less platform will always hurt major blockbusters. If we look at the 10 best selling games combined sales on the HD twins. All 10 of them are multiplatform. Halo and Gran Turismo don't appear once. Heck even if we exclude Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto we still have Battlefield, Red Dead Redemption, and a bunch of Fifas and Assassin's Creeds dominating the list.
