Good call on Microsoft's part to get this game locked in to their consoles. All signs point to it becoming a huge franchise, and it'll likely convince quite a few people to pick up an X1. I already knew of plenty of friends citing this game as the one they'd buy the system for, and if it's a Lifetime "exclusive" (yes, I know it's still on PC) that will surely sway some more people's purchase decision.


You're overselling this game. The original Xbox had Halo and Halo 2 yet got absolutely DESTROYED by the PS2. As big as Titanfall is and could be, it'll never be Halo big lol.


Youre right.  Halo 5 is coming out next year as well.

From what I am hearing EA will receive 40 million from MS to pay off NCAA lawsuit, entire development budget, and anticipated lost sales of 3 million units. Total bill could be in excess of 200 million was it worth it?

Well, there goes their chances of saving this new franchise from obscurity...

Yes.  Because the Xbox brand has such a poor history of launching new shooter franchises...

Wow. EA and the dev both admit it isn't coming. People here are still insisting it will. Having a good laugh at some of the responses here honestly.

Well personally, I'm not really interested in this game as I prefer rpg's as my main genre. However, looking as this current gen, one thing I have learned is never say never. As this is the case with FF XIII, Bioshock, Mass Effect series etc. Also this is EA we're talking about and they like to be on all platforms so I can understand some people still insisting it will eventually be ported. I'm not sure why you would laugh at people's responses. Being a Nintendo fan, maybe your used to the fact of games not showing up on your platform of choice, I don't know..


Being a multi platform owner I dont have to worry about it kid. I am laughing because some are trying to play it down, others are insisiting it will fail because it doesnt come to PS4. I would think that would be pretty obvious but judging by your comment I must have struck a nerve hitting so close to home and thats why you had to try to label me as a fan of only 1 platform. Sad really

Well it didn't strike a nerve but I've seen your posts here plenty of times, seen the bans and know how you act so I figured a reply of this nature was coming from you. Nonetheless, thanks for the entertaining reply, old man.

If there is anything we've learned for this generation of gaming, is that no game was TRULY exclusive. Just look at Bioshock, Dead Rising, Mass Effect and a lot of other games that started out as ''exlusives'' on the 360.

The only game that truly stayed exlusive was Metal Gear Solid 4.



forevercloud3000 on 29 October 2013

There are two possible loop holes I see in this situation that are pretty likely to happen. PS4 is GOING to outsell XBOne this holiday, on into when Titanfall arrives supposedly. EA will want to cash in on the larger Userbase.

1. Sony seems to be ok with late Ports of games as long as they come with additional content. Ninja Gaiden was under contract as Xbox Exclusive from what I recall, but The Dev team got around that by creating "Sigma" which was really only an up port polished up real nice but treated like a new entry.

2. The game doesn't have a Single Player anyway, which is the real only differenciator between most shooters and their sequels. This game will of course get a sequel. Odds are if the game is successful EA will serialize it ala CoD and Battlefield. With only multiplayer to worry about this should be a fairly easy task. In the same amount of time they would have to port it to PS4(with extra content per mandated by Sony for late Ports) they might as well put forth the effort into 2. So basically like most delayed releases from Xbox360 to PS3, XBO will act as a Beta testing frenzy and when it arrives for PS4 they will have ironed most of the big bugs out.

Regardless, this game doesn't really interest me in the slightest :/

MS funding Gears pretty much funded Cliffy B's "retirement". Its the truth, their pockets are full. They will make a lot of money but they will make even more because of what MS is paying them for exclusivity (covering lost funds that through multiplat sales couldn't otherwise be recouped). I remember Pachter talking about the fact that when a company moneyhats exclusivity generally they have to pay all of that, so I agree, theres no sadness.
