Of course we will, just not the first Titanfall.


Why do you assume this "any game" is Titanfall 2?


As you said Respawn is a small company and the franchise they are working on right now is Titanfall. What other title do you think they're working on? Wherever Titanfall goes is entirely up to Respawn. They have major control over their project. EA just has a business partnership with them. EA wants as much money as possible so they would fund it being multiplat if the franchise becomes huge. Titanfall is not a Gears of War case. Microsoft isn't the publisher. They have no real say in what happens in the end and even Major Nelson admitted to that recently when asked about whether Titanfall was coming to the PS4. EA goes after the money and they destroyed Microsofts exclusivity deal with Bioware for Mass Effect and brought the whole franchise over the PS3. If Microsoft was smart they would've bought Bioware. This is what Microsoft gets for depending so much on third party instead up strengthening up their first party like Sony.

Wrong. This is actually what many people here believed (myself included, probably mostly out of fear of EA controlling {aka ruining} the franchise). You must have missed the part where the deal EA and MS struck up came as a complete surprise to Respawn. EA has deals with some IP's in their partners program where they retain no control over the IP. Titanfall is clearly not one of them.

Also strange to see you say MS should have just bought Bioware when you're constantly complaining and crapping on them for doing things just like that.

You obviously paid zero attention to my statements about Microsoft when I actually favored the 360. We must've met a lot sooner than I thought. Sad. I have no issue with a company buying a company who has worked with them exclusively for multiple generations (IE: Remedy to Microsoft). In the end it's not about what I think. Microsofts business habits to me illustrate that they would run a company better that they created than one they buy out of the clear blue sky. Buying a company that shares their temperament and vision makes 100% sense. If you knew me, it wouldn't be strange at all. Bioware had been making exclusives for MS since the first Xbox and I had been known around the 2008 -2010 period to be stating that MS should just buy Bioware and be done with it. I've always been saying Microsoft needs stronger first party. That still hasn't changed.

As for Titanfall..what does that deal have anything to do with Zampella saying the excluding other iterations that the first version wouldn't be on the PS4?
