But here is what IGN said about the game before it came out. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/22/i-played-titanfall-and "This is Microsoft’s killer app. You will buy an Xbox One for Titanfall, and you should. Sure, you’d have a good time with it on PC if you’ve got a capable rig, but your couch and the Xbox Live community will be the ecosystem it’s best enjoyed in. It likely won’t decimate Call of Duty’s market share anytime soon – particularly since it’s a platform exclusive – but once Titanfall releases this spring, I guarantee you that word will spread amongst the hardcore CoD community. “Have you seen Titanfall?” they’ll say. And little by little – or maybe in droves, who knows? – they will flock to Titanfall, and they will never go back. Not after this. Titanfall is the next great evolution of the twitch-action first-person shooter. Believe the hype." No revisionist anything. You're wrong. |
LOL.. you used the Mario analogy. Yet you claimed it was hyped as such. I don't think you could have proven my point any better than that right there. Thanks.
Also, I am well aware there were some lofty comments and praise bestowed upon the game before release. However, I am struggling to understand how that relates to Microsoft expecting it to be their "next Halo", or how some random IGN guys comments would make the games sales seem like a failure to EA.
Of course, you're claiming Microsoft expected it to be the next Halo, yet were waiting until AFTER it was supposed to blow up before securing the IP. So most of this logic I am reading is not based in reality.
