Yup. So many people were "just gonna get it when it comes to Playstation".

Now that it's apparently never coming, "omg the game is just cod with mechs, so generic. 2/10 would not bang".

The hype was strong from the second it was shown off.

It looks like COD with jetpacks and mechs to me.

Not at all. I don't have to like something to know the difference between a good or bad example of it. I have no interest in costume drama's but I can tell you which version of the film adaptions of Pride & Prejudice is worthwhile, and which one is poorly acted and badly paced. It's simple a case of recognising ones own baises and moving beyond them. Like I say, I wanted someone to justify what I've not seen, as someone who isn't a fan of the genre I'm unlikely to notice the nuances that make a game move from "good" to "outstanding".

Now, looking interesting, that's all well and fine, but people seem to talk about Titanfall as though it's automatically a 9/10 game and that bothers me. Pedigree of developer I don't buy as two members of Infinity Ward moving to a new and unproven company hardly counts as pedigree; especially when you consider that even then, Infinity Ward are only really know for Call Of Duty and that's a mixed bag at best. Add in that this game is being release by EA, a publisher that has the biggest hard-on ever for DLC packs and microtransactions, at the moment at least; and I'm genuinely expecting disappointment. To me, this hype seems linked to the E3 awards it won at announcement; something I don't feel should be allowed. Critics praising it as the next step for the FPS based on nothing but a little trailer footage and the massive fuck-off bribe they got from Microsoft. It simply feels wrong.

Don't get me wrong. I honestly hope Titanfall is great. I hope the Xbox One positions itself as the home for First Person Shooters and online competitive gaming because it's a defined role that I'm not interested in and it would mean the games I am interested in, the third person action, sandbox, and RPG games will gravitate more to the PS4 in order to distinguish themselves. This would be a good way to create some variety in the industry. So by no means do I want Titanfall to fail, it's just that the game is getting far too much praise, far too quickly, considering no-one has ever played it.

But X

How many threads has there been now about Titanfall? No, it is not coming to PS4 and yes, the game play seems to be genuinely funny and draws people in. If you only care for graphics, it might not be for you. If game play is what matters, this is most likely a winner.

I would agree that some of the pronouncements about Titanfall have been on the extreme side. The idea that all the CoD fans will jump to Titanfall does not feel like a forgone conclusion to me. I don't know that it won't be a massive hit but I don't really have any reason to think that it will sell ten million copies, either. If anything, I'm still predicting Destiny will be the biggest new IP of the year.

One thing that's beginning to annoy me, though, is all the FPS hate. I'm a big fan of single-player FPS games, especially with RPG elements, and I'm a bit sick of some people acting as if every single FPS game is a twitch-based competitive multi-player title.

So youre telling me that it wasnt hyoped immediately after e3 and people were constantly saying "So, its coming to ps4 in 6 months" in about every thread made about it?  Because we can easily pull up multiple threads that shows this.

Or we can just look at all the rewards it won at e3.

or we can just ask people's opinions who played it at e3.

or we can ask people who just played the beta. 

This game has been getting hyped from day 1.  And as odd as it is, i see haters giving more attention to this game than the people hyping it.  The ones who are actually hyped are buying it and could care less but for whatever reason we have thread after thread trying to downplay it.  You want to say that isnt true as well?  Because we can bring up multiple threads showing that to. If it was for PS4 as well it still woudve been hyped because people love the gameplay, simple as that.  

History of TitanFall would be similar to this.

-Pre-E3 Leak shows TitanFall announcement for MSFT
-TF wins  most E3 awards
-MSFT says "have you seen titanfall?"
-People say its timed exclusive.
-TF gets announced Exclusive for lifetime
-Downplaying begins.  "Just looks like CoD with mechs"
-Beta releases and the majoprity loves it
-More downplaying and spread rumors about finalized textures being similar to beta
-Respawn confirms rumors arent true.
-Still downplays and believes factually wrong leakers over official source


^^^ are you telling me none of this has happened?

If you know yourself that you have a huge bias against shooters(and MS apparently)why make this thread?

I'm not a shooter fan myself but I can easily see why Titanfall is so hyped. I know you can't see it but it is definitely something fresh and something that truly feels next gen.

Also you are apparently not reading the same forum as I am because The Order is massively (over-)hyped here.

The good thing is that alot of people have played the Beta now and the hype just seem to go through the roof :).

no no, apparently "no one has ever played it" and those that did and heaped praise upon it only did so because of a "massive fuck-off bribe" MS gave them.
