Not Titanfall 1, at least. EA themselves confirmed it.

 They said in it's lifetime. For all we know lifetime could just be the gap between when the first and the sequel release, kindof like how we got ME1 after both ME2 and 3 released. My guess is, they'll wait for the dust to settle with it, and then do a kindof GotY re-release to get even more sales out it, but who really knows?


Not a good comparison, I'd say. ME1 multiplatform was thanks to EA purchasing Bioware, and their plans for the franchise and capitalization of its fanbase (notice how we are getting a ME4 now). ME would have never been "multiplatform" (it was on PC, though) if it wasn't for EA. The same EA that promised not to put Titanfall 1 on Playstation because the money MS paid for it is far bigger than the loses they could have for not making it "multiplatform".

.....is the same EA that promised Mass Effect would not be on Playstation. You're right that ME2 wouldn't be multiplatform if not for EA, but it's not like as soon as BioWare was bought, a PS3 version came out instantly. No, they said it's definitely not coming to PS3.....then said it was coming out on PS3 some time down the road.

They even said ME1 wouldn't come to PS3 and look what happened. EA is a company that multiplatforms all their games. When's the last time an EA published game was exclusive (never)? The same promises of exclusivity, that people take as 100% truth, with regard to Titanfall are the same promises of exclusivity of FFXIII from SE. But even that's a bad comparison because FF was always exclusive before. EA doesn't publish exclusives. Just because they're sworn to secrecy (like ME) because MS gave them a few bucks doesn't mean they're gonna change their philosophy at the end of the day. They just need to tell everyone it's exclusive so that it remains the public perception and the overwhelming bulk of the sales are on XBone and XB360, so MS gets their money's worth. 

Another example is when Rockstar said that the Episodes of Liberty City (you know....the $50M DLC?) were exclusive to XB360 and again, look what happened. If $50M can't keep content exclusive, what do you think will? How much do you think MS paid EA so that it's "far bigger than the losses they could have for not making it "multiplatform""?
