Forums - Gaming - Titanfall Tough To Market Without Single Player

vivster on 13 January 2014

I wonder how many people will walk into this game wondering where the singleplayer campaign is.

I doubt it is hard to sell a game with no sp, especially a FPS.

Cause people actually play fps for their single player...


by that logic BIoshock should have flopped as a series

I wouldn't class bioshock as a shooter mainly

if Bioshock isnt a FPS then what is it? you primarily shoot things

adventure/rpg


yeah no. the game is classifed as a FPS thats what the actual game makers classify it as. What makes it an adventure? there are no puzzles to solve. RPG? Did you play the last one? If anything the reduced some of the RPG elements. 

wtf your right its actually classified as survival horror fps...

there you go. That description makes more sense.  I would also add that the most popular MOH had no MP to speak of, just something to think about.

Counterstrike seemed to do just fine, as have a number of MMO shooters.

I'm pretty sure marketing won't (or shouldn't) be a problem when it actually comes time to sell.

but were they charging 60 dollars for those shooters? thats the big question.

We can say people dont play FPSs for shooters till we're blue in the face but even if that were true human nature will look at this game and be like "60 bucks for one mode? Pah!" How much of you can honestly say you would have bought so many CODs if it only had a MP mode? how much of you at full price?

Considering the number of people that pay for CoD and only play MP (even those that play both SP & MP considering SP is barely 5 hours long) every year, I think it'll do fine.

Titanfall isnt COD though. Hell i would go so far to say that people are underestimating SP. Hell BF got more popular AFTER they added SP. If Activision truly believed that people really just play for MP, why even waste money making a new SP campaign every year? Just make a MP game. It woudl be cheaper. They wont do that because they know thats not true or they are not sure if it is or not and wont take the risk.

Its pretty early for excuses?

Maybe they're not happy with the pre-orders or something similar?

 

Lol... That's a pretty good sign, I'd say.

 

Edit: Where did the original image go I uploaded? LOL!!

I didn't even realize this game didn't have a single player campaign. I was actually excited for this game. Now I have zero interest.

I'm one of those weird dudes though that likes playing CoD games for the Michael Bay experience in single player, and never touch MP team battles. That and trophies or achievements.

Yeah, I hate to admit it, but I like a Michael Bay set piece every now and then. Well, they just lost me as a customer.

Yay more people complaing about no so yet people don't complain when a sp game has no mp

And as far as we may know this game may have $60 worth of content they have yet to say how many maps guns mechs and modes will be available

Umm I was saying the opposite  that u never hear of people saying that a sp only game has to have mp to be worth $60 but as soon as a mp only title is announced people say it has to have both
