Forums - Gaming - BOLD FUTURE PREDICTION: TITANFALL 2 will remain Microsoft Exclusive.

Very unlikely, EA want to sell as much as possible, if it is currently exclusive it's because the generation has just started and they knew the gap between PS4 and XB1 and the installed base would not be too big.

if TitanFall sells like hotcakes why on earth would EA keep it exclusive?

But couldn't that same logic be applied in favor of MS? 

If it's selling like hoecakes, why would MS let it go? 


1- its not up to them

2- the money they would have to pay would be waaaay to much, and not worth it. why didnt MS money hat CoD or BattleField?

When COD or battlefield came out, Xbox was not in a bad shape as for marketing You are forgetting that..MS did not need COD .. you seem to have forgotten Gears.. Now  MS is trying to win back the gamers.. If titanfall is what it takes.. I believe they will do w.e it takes..

why not money hat them now? would certainly have a much bigger effect than TF.

It all depends on what EA projects a PS4 version would earn. If they think it would move 3M copies on Playstation then that would be something like $75M going to EA.


you also forgot map packs, those make shit loads of money as well. CoD: BO sold 18 million map packs, meaning revenue of 270$ million. with sony/ms/steam taking 30% it means they profited 189$ million. with an online only game like TF, you can bet your ass there will be shit loads of map packs, which means shit loads of extra money.

Ever heard of Gears of War and EPIC?  Not saying it is going to happen because i see this all extremely doubtful since Zampala seemed to want it to go multiplat but it isnt the first time MSFT has bought a big franchise off.

My belief is it will be multiplat on TF2 simply because Respawn will want a say in it(Unlike EPIC, respawn already has a publisher), but it also isnt out of the question as nothing in this industry ever is.


Epic isnt a publisher though. EA are, and one of the biggest too. 


Epic is big enough to push their own games.  Technically after Gears 1 they could have went multiplay.  This is exactly what you said. if TitanFall sells like hotcakes why on earth would EA keep it exclusive?

Along with making a ton of money off of MSFT gears went on to being one of the highest selling exclusives for the generation. According to you this should make them go multiplat which never happened.  EPIC could have easily published it themselves or taken it to another publisher.

As i said, the only difference in this is TF has a publisher already which i bolded and underlined for you which makes your comment say nothing that i already didnt say.  My point is, sales doesnt determine exclusives for every franchise.  we could even use sony franchises as an example if we wanted to.  How about Insomniac which stood loyally by Sony's side up until Sunset Overdrive and FUSE.  Another develoer that could have easily went multiplat years ago but didnt.  Again, if a game sales well it doesnt determine exclusives for the future.  

On the other side of things, if a game sells poorly, then they will go multiplat almost all the time.  There is actually advantages of going exclusive and devs know this. 

Again i DO NOT think TF2 will be exclusive(if anything exclusive content, early DLC, or timed exclusive something or another), just pointing out that your comment isnt neccessarily true.


EDIT: To make myself a little more understandable, i dont disagree with the part about EA.  I disagree about the part with selling more copies determines an exclusive as that hasnt always proven to be the case.  Money matters the most and as long as MSFT gives them enough it doesnt matter how much it sells as long as it offsets what they would have gotten going multiplat.

This. Neither EA will take such a risk nor MS will spend the amount necessary to keep it.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Lol Titanfall still don't know where is the appeal of this thing, is a mindless run and gun game, poor player count, MP only game for 60 bucks!!?? get out of here!, visuals from the past. I have a PS4 and Gaming Rig, I know I can handle easely this game on my PC cause of the low poly visuals it has, but since I don't like the game for several reasons I just won't even care when is released.

For the good of the gaming industry this game needs to fail, you may ask why ?, first thing is the game will cost 60 bucks and is just MP game with a few maps, now what will happen if this thing sales are good ?, this will encourage other developers to create just MP games and sell them at full price!, start saying good bye to SP experiences, so Titanfall is just bad overall, not only developers will encourage to do this but also they will create mediocre visuals for it, and still they will ask for all full price!!, just think for a second and you will see I'm not BS on this!.

The price of this game should be no more than 30 bucks!




If Sony sells 20 Million PS4 by january 2015 I doubt Titanfall will remain exclusive.



if they do make titanfall 2 for ps4 than they'll have to make two versions. one at 1080p and 720p lol.

"For the good of the gaming industry this game needs to fail".. wow that is a little harsh.. There are those gamers out there that only like to play Multiplayer out there.. Saying it needs to fail is very much unfortunate coming from a gamer.  :-/
