Forums - Gaming - Is Titanfall Microsoft's Second Secret Sauce?

Respawn will only disband again if the second game were to be an exclusive, they were quite pissed off when they found out titanfall 1 was an exclusive.

Well, its too early to say what will happen but I get to play the 1st version and tests fine by me.

It is a trick. They did the same thing with Bioshock. They paid to keep it away from Sony for a year. The second Titanfall will come to Sony, but the first will stay exclusive to Microsoft. This is what Microsoft ALWAYS does but Sony has real exclusives to actual franchises and that is why they will win out in the end. Microsoft can play the games but Sony will always come to the party with their own goods that they made.

Wait, so you are saying that Microsoft paid money to get this new IP developed and as an exclusive, but it will be later made better on a Sony console because it has better exclusives?

Eventhough Microsoft and others have paid for the development and exclusivity?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Nope, releasing it on 360 was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. So now instead of trying to lure/tempt people in to buying a console for a cool looking game, they will just get the last gen version. Even if they make Titanfall 2 it will take 3 years and by then the Xbone could be a massive failure. If Nintendo released SM3DW on the Wii people would be shredding Iwata to bits for incompetence but since its Microsoft its a genius idea.

Come on man, you don't really think people were buying PS3's for all the exclusives do you.


Resistance 2 - 2.38 m.

Resistance 3 - 1.33 m.

Killzone 2 - 2.9 m.

Killzone 3 - 2.5 m.

Infamous 1 - 2.66 m.

Infamous 2 - 1.6 m.

LBP2 - 2.98 m.

God of War Ascention - 1.49 m.

The Entire 1st Party Vita Library - under 4.6 million.

 

The only thing that sells decently is Uncharted at 6 million each which is Donkey Kong numbers. (Nintendos 15th best selling Wii Game).  If it was'nt for 3rd Party games Playstation 4 would'nt even exist right now.   Seriously Nintendo has 5 separate 3DS games outselling the entire 1st party Vita library and people act like anyone cares about what Sony puts out anymore.

So what's the difference between that and Super Smash Bros being on 3DS next year? If people wanted to get the 360 version of Titanfall more than the X1 version then there would be more pre-orders. And even if it were to sell more on 360 then that's just more software sales for MS. I'm sure there will be Titanfall Xbox Ones everywhere so console gamers can play the definitive version.

Nothing, releasing it on the 3DS is a terrible idea.    It will bring software sales for Microsoft but a hardware sale is much better because that will lead to many more software sales.   The only thing about the 3DS Super Smash that is cool is that all of the levels will be different atleast so there is incentive to get both, otherwise its a terrible idea.

Yup I forgot Gran Turismo, my mistake.  I guess we will have to see what the sales are WW by the end of the year but if early sales are any indicator, even Gran Turismo 6 wont clear 4 million.  I seriously worry about Sony because if all that is left is Microsoft  and Nintendo, I will just be playing Mario the rest of my life.
