| starcraft said: I am sorry but there seems to be an awful lot wrong with this. In the first instance you've cited Titanfall, a game that by most accounts would not have been made without Microsoft's support, as a failure. However, as best as I can see Titanfall (XOne) is currently the best selling exclusive title on any platform this generation. Further, it has sold over three million copies across all available platforms. You've then compared this title to a game that was always going to be made, without any substantial support from a first party. That game has sold well, sure. Its also not as good a game as Titanfall (though I grant you Watch Dogs is a very different kind of game). To be clear, it seems likely that if Titanfall hadn't been released in the (very successful) way that it was, it would never have been released at all. You've then railed against Sunset Overdrive, which again makes no sense as the title is neither published by or funded by EA. Again, it is funded by Microsoft and so is, of course exclusive. I don't know what the point of this thread is really, except to highlight the strong content offerings Microsoft is making this generation? |
This is really just a thread about EA or the state of EA. And i never said Titanfall was a failure, I just saidit was another lost opportunity. I sincerely believe that titanfall was the one game that could take activation off its FPS throne. So as good as it is, and even if it has sold over 3M copies, I still feel its not as big as it could have been if handled differently. Yes, I am aware that MS saved the game, but really how messed up is that? Why didn't EA get fully behind it to begin with. If I recall it had someting to do with IP ownership in relation to publishing rights.
This thread though is about EA and their offerings when compared to activison and ubisoft. But activision in particular cause I really expected titanfall to be the game to topple CoD.
And for the record (this is directed at everyone else) Drop the uncharted thing, that was obviously a typo. And I have edited the OP. As for sunset overdrive, that was just a mistake on my part cause i sincerely thought EA had some sort of partnership with Insomniac.
