Yeah right, like The Last Guardian :D These posts are still all rumors and speculation, wait until Microsoft opens their wallet and make a big party with Respawn and then we will see ;) |
There were rumors of TLG going multiplat that were confirmed wrong? Must have missed that. And I don't get some people's fascination with MS's wallet. It's as if you think MS's endless billions is completely open for the Xbox division to grab some whenever they want. That is hardly the case, at all. In fact, if things don't turn around this year with the $399 One, you can bet your ass that you're going to see less and less of MS buying exclusives, timed or otherwise, in the coming years.
Some investors are already chomping at the bit to get rid of the division and have MS focus on what really makes them money. Even Bill Gates said he would be completely fine if they spun off the Xbox division and left it to its own devices, which means it would most likely be bought by another company or die under its own weight. He did say he didn't think it would happen, but I think it means he knows there is pressure to get rid of it, especially with the way this gen is going, and is okay with what needs to be done.
And finally (but most importantly), with how little Titanfall helped the One, I HIGHLY doubt MS is going to lose the same kind of money they did on the first Titanfall, just to secure the series. And EA would be foolish to see the 3.5M+ gap that Sony has aquired in just a matter of months (it will be quite a bit larger by the time Titanfall 2 is ready to launch), and ignore it. Plus, they have given no confirmation about it exclusive to MS. In fact, it's just the opposite, with them dropping hints that future titles will be multiplat.
@ OP
I agree. There are millions of gamers who either don't like playing online, or just do it occassionally, like myself. A multiplayer only game does not appeal much to gamers like me. I think Respawn has realized this, as just a few days ago they said that a single player campaign is not out of the question. Heck, I'd except a really good local/online co-op campaign, too.
And for people who doubt that Titanfall will be mulitplat, see above.
