A very big game then? Would that seem more correct?

Halo still a very big game but would no longer by most people be described as a phenomenon and big console mover like it was in the past. Halo is clearly not as important to MS in the current climate of several gigantic competing shooter franchises. Wuld that be more nuanced?

In terms of how good a game it is? Probably not. It seems like a pretty good game from the footage I have seen. The only problem I have with it is that it is online only, while I prefer single player. Not that I wouldn't try the game if I had the chance.

In terms of being a HUGE system seller that could help push it even, or past, the PS4? Most likely. What those people fail to realize is that this game is going to sell around the same, maybe more, on 360 and PC. Maybe if it had released a little later in the gen, or had been an actual One exclusive, it would have helped (though it definitely wouldn't have pushed it to make up for the 1.2M gap, which will be larger by the time it launches.) Then there's the fact that the sequels (and possibly the first, eventually) are more likely than not to release on the PS4 in a year or two. With that version being the definitive console version in terms of graphics and performance.

I would actually say that Halo is more important to MS than ever because the X1 really needs it to establish a larger userbase. Gears and Fable have severely regressed over the past few years, so it's now basically down to Forza, Halo, and new IPs. Also, you guys should take this conversation somewhere else as this thread is about Titanfall, not the Halo franchise.

OT: I say that Titanfall is overhyped when it comes to moving X1 units. I'm saying it won't, but it won't be anywhere close to what Halo can do. Titanfall is also slightly overhyped as a game. If the AI is anything like it was in the alpha, then the AI is totally pointless. The action is nothing close to what was advertised when it was first announced. Titanfall will play very well, but the inclusion of unneccesary AI brings the quality down a notch.

Well, it is a US most hyped genre FPS exclusive to US most prefered console after all you know... 

Sony is the better long term console, but Microsoft knows how to market their console to cover up their weaknesses which is first party. They buy up all the third party real estate before Sony even thinks to and its smart. Sony's first party is better and it will start adding up on Microsoft because companies like Capcom will eventually put Dead Rising 4 on the PS4 and Titanfall 2 will come to Sony. I just want to play the games now. Microsoft is a marketing machine. Everything is perception for them rather than reality.

Not according to the people who have played it. Actually playing the game > fanboy speculation. The game is gonna be a huge.

I think Titanfall looks really good and it would be the game (besides Dead Rising 3) that would get me to buy an XB1 if it wasn't coming to PC as well.

ZING, but true.

At the same time, just like Mario.

AI is meant to be fodder. Think DOTA or LOL.

If Titanfall is as good as what we hear from press and players I fully expect MS to make a play for Respawn as a first party studio.
