What's so great about Titanfall?

You know, initially, this was a bullet point for why I thought this game would be alright. Then I remembered that that same bullet point was used for HAZE: "HAZE is gonna be great! It's being made by Free Radical which is the team of people that made Goldeneye 64, Perfect Dark and Time Splitters!"

Goldeneye 64, Perfect Dark, and Time Splitters were classics, yet HAZE ended up a turd, despite hype and praise before it was released. 

Now I don't wanna use "these are the guys that made CoD4" as a talking point for TF anymore, because the symptoms are the same

You know... sometimes great games come from people who worked on other great games.

But great job cherry picking a scenario where that didn't happen and the result was a mediocre game.

That wasn't a cherry pick, it was a means to temper expectations soley on "They made CoD. TF will automatically be good"

But just another example: Twisted Metal PS3. Jaffe made the originals and they were great; PS3 TM was mediocre compared to them. Or Blue Dragon.  Made by the guy who made Final Fantasy. Mediocre. 

But on the flip side, we have Kamiya (creator of DMC) and Bayonetta which was a great game. All I was trying to say was that just because the guys that made CoD4 are making this game doesn't make TF automatically good. So I wouldn't use that as a bullet point. If there were no examples of the creators of great games making new studios and then making games hyped up because of their prior work.....and they didn't live up to the hype, then I wouldn't have said it. But there are several examples of this. 

You just accused me of a "cherrypick" because you too believe that TF will be great because West and Zampella are making it and you didn't like my point that showed that that may not be the case.
