The game would be hyped on any platform. Much like Destiny.

Titanfall threads per day? Like 30

Destiny threads per ever? 0

You just picked a random multiplatform game that is a new IP

Titanfall preorders? 215,402 (XBOX ONE alone) out in one month.

Destiny preorders? 189,793 (XBOX ONE alone) out in 7 months.

Bungie would like to tell where you can go with your zero threads ever...

News flash, not every game is for everyone.

This is not news to me.


You should make a thread telling us every game that doesn't interest you... just so interesting.

Your approval was not sought or required. This is a thread about Titanfall, I merely expressed my view on it.

I genuinely want to know this and this isn't me simply being glib, or flaming/trolling for a reaction. In a previous thread people where talking about the release window for Titanfall and InFamous Second Son and how InFamous may or may not temper some of the hype for Titanfall. Regardless of what people think here, one comment which was eccoed a couple of times is that InFamous is a good franchise but it's not a massive franchise where as Titanfall will be... my question; WHY?!

Why the hell is Titanfall automatically a "massive franchise", it's a brand new IP for fuck sake. It's a brand new IP that from what I've seen is yet another boring cliché near future first person fucking shooter, because we all know how massively important it is to have another game where we play as a slightly futuristic floating gun. Now, granted, I'll happily admit to a little bais here, I don't like FPS games and I find everything about Titanfall to be trite and boring. It doesn't interest me and if anything it looks bland and predicable so far; so what makes it destined to be this massive franchise that will make the Xbox One a thing of importance in the eyes of all gamers. Why this game? Why not any of the other games that are coming out.

I don't for example hear people deciding, before anyone has even played it remember, that The Order 1886 or The Evil Within are destined to be "massive franchises", and they're new IPs, so what makes Titanfall so different that people are acting like it's going to be a bestseller as a foregone conclusion before anyone has even had a chance to play it. Is it just brand loyalty. Are people either convincing themselves that they'll love it just because it's the game that M$ have put the most advertising money behind, or are non-M$ fans siimply presuming that the average gamer is a rutting moron and will buy and love whatever game the shiny banner adverts talk about the most; and are thus making a sad prediction? I ask because it really bothers me how much the internet as a whole does this; decides that something is awesome, terrible, bestseller, dead on arrival etc. without having ever played/watched/experienced it based on nothing but hype.

Bold.  I think you just null and voided your own thread.  You don't like FPS, yet you want people to explain to you what is so great about them.

Pedigree of the developer in making FPS is what is getting people hyped.  That and previews so far look interesting.  The game has the potential to be big, but nothing is guaranteed.  Simple as that.


This.

And I merely expressed my view on people that go into threads with zero interest of the topic.

Fun fact, I don't go in many Nintendo threads because I don't really give a shit about Nintendo. If I commented in those threads I would just be a nuisance.

Meh, don't take it so personally. There are many people that share comments on topics they have no interest in. That's like... the basis of the interweb.

Well, the mech gameplay seems to be  pretty interesting and it is being developed by the minds of CoD4  so it is most likely going to be a very good game.

Interesting fact, you have no idea what he was talking about.

He was implying people on this forum are overhyping Titfanfall with tons of threads. The reality is much of the Titanfall discussion is from bitter gamers not getting Titanfall on their favorite game console.

Naturally, this has lead to a lot of mature discussion.

You know, initially, this was a bullet point for why I thought this game would be alright. Then I remembered that that same bullet point was used for HAZE: "HAZE is gonna be great! It's being made by Free Radical which is the team of people that made Goldeneye 64, Perfect Dark and Time Splitters!"

Goldeneye 64, Perfect Dark, and Time Splitters were classics, yet HAZE ended up a turd, despite hype and praise before it was released. 

Now I don't wanna use "these are the guys that made CoD4" as a talking point for TF anymore, because the symptoms are the same


You know... sometimes great games come from people who worked on other great games.

But great job cherry picking a scenario where that didn't happen and the result was a mediocre game.

If we consider pre-orders numbers in the US, how is it going to be so much bigger than Second Son?

I understand the hype, but I really think something has changed this gen.



They will know Helgan belongs to Helghasts

Its an online-only multiplayer FPS.

It was hyped even when people thought it was multiplat so no.

Coming from a competitive shooter fan, its the gameplay.  Looks unique, and bringing verticality in a game that is similar to CoD mechanics is a pretty big deal. Fast pacing, jumping and unique features, with similar mechanis as CoD's popular shooting mechanics. (MW and MW2 creators).

Not sure what the big deal with all these threads are.  We have a new TitanFall thread about every day from someone who doesnt like or want it.  I dont understand the hype for some games but im not goint to make threads about it.  You either like something or you dont.

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.


Didnt dampen my hype, i just preordered it for PC instead :)
