Titanfall 2 is coming to PS4. If you mean a launch advantage then yes Titanfall counts.


There won´t be a Titanfall 2, nor a Destiny 2. They will be built like Team Fortress 2, or Dota 2...

Games as a service.

Any way, do you think people will wait for 2 or 3 years just to experience a francise that is available in another platform?

May be there is still people waiting for Gears of War on the PS3.


Zampella said Titanfall will come to PS4 just not the first one on his Twitter page. Microsoft was funding Gears of War.


So you say the game is already in development? 

Sorry disapointing you, but Respawn is a small juvenile studio. They needed EA and Microsoft to co-funding, developig and marketing their first game.

We are moving to a subscribed model for games and entertaiment. Why they would spent millions developing a new game in new platforms when it´s benn proved you can profit millions with continuos improvement of the same game?

Specialy when this games has no singleplay or campain elements.

I hardly see Titanfall as an advantage when I can get it for PC. Heck, it's even going to be released for the 360. It's even less of an advantage if you look at the PS4's upcoming exclusives: Infamous: Second Son, The Order: 1886, Uncharted, MLB 14: The Show, Guerilla's new IP, Stig Asmussen's new game, Cory Balrog's new game, Media Molecule's new game, Quantic Dream's new game, and the list goes on.

Cool, I disagree and think it is a big advantage, especially since we're talking about advantages of PS4 vs Xbox One. It doesn't really matter what other platforms the game is on, the bottom line is its not on the PS4. So of course it is an advantage. Otherwise why would MS pay for it? I think they understand the market more than you or I.

Also I am not interested in some list war. Both consoles have a good list of exclusives coming and potentially big games. Every exclusive you listed it a potential advantage, that's how exclusives work. Even ones like The Show, which will be on platforms other than PS4.

Zune, Windows Phone, Windows 8, AOE: Online, Surface Tablet, Windows RT, Xbox One.  Do you REALLY think they know markets well?

Can I see the portfolio of products you have released and made shit tons of money off of?

Can you answer the question I asked?  Doesn't seem like MS knows what they are doing most of the time does it?



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

Of course we will, just not the first Titanfall.

Why do you assume this "any game" is Titanfall 2?

Party Chat - The PS4 has finally adopted cross game party chat but the quality is awful in comparison with the X1's audio codec.  That said Microsoft need to get this working as well as it did on the 360 before I give this one to Microsoft. Tie.

Are you serious?

Firstly the Xbone's Party Chat didn't support cross game... and it didn't works at all... so PS4 has the superior Party Chat system with Cross Game support.

As you said Respawn is a small company and the franchise they are working on right now is Titanfall. What other title do you think they're working on? Wherever Titanfall goes is entirely up to Respawn. They have major control over their project. EA just has a business partnership with them. EA wants as much money as possible so they would fund it being multiplat if the franchise becomes huge. Titanfall is not a Gears of War case. Microsoft isn't the publisher. They have no real say in what happens in the end and even Major Nelson admitted to that recently when asked about whether Titanfall was coming to the PS4. EA goes after the money and they destroyed Microsofts exclusivity deal with Bioware for Mass Effect and brought the whole franchise over the PS3. If Microsoft was smart they would've bought Bioware. This is what Microsoft gets for depending so much on third party instead up strengthening up their first party like Sony.

Pretty much.

No NA/UK, no early launch, no price advantage ect.

This is why they'll get their ass handed to them this gen.

Cross game chat works just fine.

Your link support my claim.

I will explain how the Party Chat works in Xbone... you can created a party that correspond to your game (the game you are playing) and any friend that is playing the same game than you or is not playing anything can join to you.

But if a friend is playing another game... he can't.

Just try yourself... try to invite a friend playing another game to your party.
