I think the question is: Is there more hype for TitanFall or resentment that some people aren't going to get to play it on certain systems.

I say mostly the first, but a good deal of the second. So much bitterness this week - like gallons of fresh squeezed bitter dandelion juice. . But hey, it helped shoot up EA's stock price by a good amount.

I don't get why people keep saying this. I'm sure some PS4 owners are upset they can't play Titanfall, just like I'm sure plenty of XBO owners are upset about missing out on Infamous Second Son or Uncharted. But some people generally don't care for the game. To me it just looks like another first person shooter. Does everything have to be a console war nowadays?

Well you could always compare the number of negative (or those that try to downplay it) posts and threads created around Infamous:SS by XBox fans compared to the number made around Titanfall by PS fans :). The evidence will be fairly self-evident.

You always get more pumped up when a game is exclusive, but in this case it is very different in two ways:

- It seems the collective press has fallen for it aswell.
- I have never seen so Many Sony fans weighing in on the game, where alot of them spend sooooooo much time trying to downplay it, saying it is overhyped and such.

This tells me that this game has made a BIG, and positive, impression on almost everyone that has seen it.


This guy just won the thread.

It can be played on PC or even XB360.

The only thing Titanfall is exclusive to is Windows, so unless you only own a Mac and a Playstation, you'll be able to play the game without buying/owning an XOne.

I'm not even considering ordering it for PC, so...

They are using source engine, don't they? It will run on linux with wine without problems.

Your whole take on multiplats vs exclusives regarding quality is complete nonsense.

That's about all I got out of this thread.

Titanfall would have been even more popular if it was on PS4 as well, but each system needs its semi-exclusive games I guess.

Well, it's not exclusive and even if it was, it's not the only exclusive. Why was this game singled out as "The one"?

Because I had seen an inordinate amout of ZOMG Titalfall is gonna be AMAZINZF!!!! Type post/threads.

Infamous is not nearly as "worshipped" by its own fanboy base, but it too falls into the "hyped more because its exclusive" category. Fact is fanboys could give 2 sh!ts about multiplats. For instance Fanboy X who owns a PS4 might not care about AC4, but if AC5 was announced as exclusive to PS4 he would instantly become a HUGE AC fan making post here every day or 2 about how awsome it was going to be and how AC5 being exclusive to the PS4 was going to make MS discontinue the XB1.

IMO AC4 is the best game available currently for next gen consoles, but people have missed it because they want to so badly to enjoy clunkers like Forza, Ryse, Killzone, and Knack.

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

exclusive 8th gen. PC gamers would not buy a console for titanfall, and they really dont care what consoles get them and when.

I'm more "Pro Microsoft" than I am "Pro Sony".  I bought inFamous the day it came out and I thought it sucked ass.  Didn't finish it and didn't get the sequel.  I think the PS4 inFamous looks pretty good.  I'd buy it.  On the flipside, when I get my Xbox One, I won't give Titanfall a second look unless I somehow enjoy the demo.  I'm more excited about other Xbox One games.

I don't think it comes down to fanboyism.  In this instance, I think the games just happen to be good looking even though they're "exclusive".  That's just me, though.  And yeah, I've seen both camps automatically hype any exclusive they find.  Rockstar's Agent was game of the year material when allll we ever saw was a logo.  There was some Xbox 360 title that got hyped all to shit until people found out it was just some Live Arcade Game.  I'm not saying it's not the case.  I'm just saying this time it might not be the case.

It's not an exclusive game. It's on PC and Xbox systems, I think the hype may be legit. You know... people being hyped for an awesome looking game.
