Over hyped games are normal for the internet. Internet marketing 101. The only people it bothers are fanboys.

And Xbox fans are sooooo obsessed with "proving" it will be the game of the generation, so what's your point? 


It wont be exclusive to Microsoft on the consoles for long outside of the first game, so I don't know why they hype it up. I guess just because Microsoft paid for it, they must hype it up to the heavens. At least when Sony fans hype something up they more often than not know its fully exclusive.

It's because they see how sales are going, so they are hoping that this one game will change the way the gen is going, and start closing that 1.2M+ gap that the PS4 created in meer months.  If this doesn't do that, then they will start hyping GeOW and Halo as the savior of the One.  What they don't realize is that Titanfall is only going to help a little in the US, but not WW.  Not that it needs to.  They should just enjoy it if its a good game, instead of pushing it like the 2nd coming of gaming christ that will change ALL games forever, as well as push the One to the top of the charts for weeks/months.

And I don't get why they say Sony fans are trying to prove this game isn't good.  I have never once seen one on here say it looked like shit.  In fact, most say it looks like fun or a good game, but that people are only overhyping it because it is MS exclusive for the first game.

I have a PC that can likely run it better than your One, you know. :P

I think it looks nice though, and I think the One has far and away the best line up of exclusives currently out of all next gen systems... Which is pretty pathetic for the the Wii given it has had a full year advantage and Nintendo hasn't made anything notable for their home consoles leading up to the launch of the Wii U since 2010... Well, aside from another crappy Zelda.


Doesn't matter if you get it on PC. The major players will be gaming with Titanfall on console just like COD. Enjoy your graphics.

Titanfall will be good for MS business for the first game, but seriously, Sony is playing with fire with MS this year. MS has Halo and Titanfall exclusive this year. There are zero heavy hitters coming to the PS4 this year. Unless The Order is bloody amazing no one people will keep being attracted to the Xbox One via the games. Uncharted is more than likely not coming this year (even though I cannot wait for it) They dont need to beat Sony, they just need to be on Sony's heels. It's sad Sony's gap isn't larger right now. The way its looking is this year Sony will as usually be single player heaven and MS will be multiplayer heaven. Where will most people be playing? Multiplayer. Just hype it up and thats all she wrote. People who want to buy shooters have great reasons to go Xbox One first and if Kinect gets dropped that will be very obvious.

You serious with this?  MS has nothing after titanfall all year that is a big AAA exclusive. There is plenty of MP shooters, the genre is saturated, Evolve, Destiny, planetside 2, another cod..please. Sony has pleanty of games this year. Then there is FF14, Deep Down, Drive club all MP focused. Sony is SMART to focus on a  few big SP games as Mp games are a dime a dozen. There is only so many MP shooters, games people need. Halo is not coming until 2015. People don't only play exclusives on consoles, Destiny will be the biggest FPS this year not titanfall, and PS4 will have exclusive DLC and advertising rights.

I guess Halo isn't worthy of note to you. Thats alright though. I'm tough on MS but you give them little to no credit even for their acquisitions and excluisivity deals. Yes, their moneyhatting is annoying but they've secured more decent shit for the Xbox One for the launch than Sony did. Of course Sonys stuff will be mostly in-house but for now that doesn't really matter.

The majority of the players will be on 360, followed by pc, and then x1. 

Titaint fall looks like a good game, but the more i see of it the less impressed i get. With that said, i'll be playing it on PC to as the x1 isn't worth buying for this game alone.

Fire?  Lol, no.  Sony has plenty of games, 1st and 3rd party, that will keep people interestedd this year.  Especially since all multiplats are going to run/look better on PS4.  Also, according to leaks, there is only a Halo 2 remake this year, not Halo 5.  Which means Uncharted and Halo will be going toe to toe in 2015. 

Not sure how Sony's gap could be much larger.  I mean it's 1.2M+ in just 1 1/2 months.  That's feaking huge.  Unless you expected the One to sell nothing, which is ridiculous.  Of course, Sony's gap may be much larger than we think, since apparently Sony has a decent gap on MS in Jan NPD.  At least according to famousmortimer.  And if sales keep going the way they are, and they will in EU and Japan, the PS4 will become the go to console for any game, including shooters.

Another day another thread of titanfall downplaying.......

Maybe itll be good, maybe it wont but the downplaying of this one game has just went beyond pathetic by this point. All fun in console wars? Nah, i just see people being assholes, congratz.
