Will Titanfall have the same impact as Call of Duty 4?

Thanks! Gameplay is a mantra to gamers. Or, at least, most of them.

You need next gen consoles because they open up more gameplay possibilities. A cross gen game like Titanfall might run "just fine" on 360 but how would Forza 5, Ryse, Dead Rising 3, or BF4 and its 64 players fare on last gen consoles? Not well. And yet at the same time the best selling game on both consoles is a cross gen port of Call of Duty which would run the same gameplay wise from the PS4 all the way down to the Wii. And even CoD4 did nothing that you couldn't run in much uglier, muddled fashion on PS2 or Xbox. Like Titanfall on 360.

We all know graphics and gameplay work together. But if you have top notch gameplay, gamers aren't going to mind if you don't have a state of the art engine. And on the flip side you can have the most advanced engine in the world and it won't mean shit if your game is boring. And isn't the thread about CoD? Is anyone going to try and say CoD had a balance or something? The id engine they were using was dated from CoD2 and on.
