Titanfall will be a good game, but I think OP is caught up in the PR speak.
The whole single player multiplayer thing has been done before. It's not some revolutionary new idea that Respawn came up with; it's a way to put story into the game without having a proper single player campaign. And the bots are still just bots. They might be very smart bots and adaptive to different player styles -- but they're still just NPC's with AI. Titanfall is sounding a whole lot like what Brink wanted to be.
It's really not doing anything new. Even the stuff about using the cloud for processing sound silly because we haven't seen them do anything that benefited from using the cloud. I'm not saying it's not possible. But if you're going to make that claim -- you should back it up with actual evidence. The game is running at 720p and with 12 players on a map. As far as I know, the only thing that this game is benefiting from the cloud is the AI for the bots. And we've seen that already from Forza 5. It seems like a gimmick that Microsoft wants to put in their games to show off what the cloud can do. But it isn't a MS exclusive feature -- any game using dedicated servers could do it. |
Who is saying this? "not a traditional shooter" does not have to imply some wildly out of the box result of sheer innovation.

I was trying to say that it's very traditional. Before games started putting actual single player in to their games; they would do what Titanfall is doing. Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, etc. And like I said - it will be a fun game in the same way that Call of Duty is a fun game-- it won't be the game of the generation as you have put it.

It's not very traditional though. Those games you mentioned not only had no real campaign, but it wasn't done online either. It was SP with actual bots meant to emulate the MP. SP in those games were really just training for the MP. Titanfall blends the story and fodder AI with actual human players. Not anything wildly innovative, but not the traditional FPS experience either.
Not sure what you mean by "fun in the same way CoD is fun" but whatever, and don't really care about your GOTG part either. I post that just for shits n giggles. But if I were to post it factually, I'd be just as right as you are when you say it won't be. Hope that helps.
