Getting a new IP off the ground is a very hard and expensive. I hope he has plans to make Respawn more indepent after Titanfall succeds. This man is too rich to be in it for the money. I think his ambitio is to create a game bigger than CoD while maintaining control of the IP. |
I think they went with EA since they have some sort of program to start up new development teams. IMO, it'd be amazing if they leave EA aftert this game and go with an other studio, Ubisoft seems like a good one. They are willing to let developers polish their games, and Ubisoft doesn't have a big FPS.
Also, a deal to make the game Xbox only for good seems highly unlike IMO. Lets say this game becomes a $1bil profit franchise. You could split profits up like this: PS: $333mil, XB: $333mil, PC $333mil. That would mean you would drop around $333mil with every release in potentional profits, possibly more. With 3 games, that's already $1bil or more lost in potentional profits. No way Respawn (and EA) will just leave that money.
