Forums - Gaming Discussion - Could Titanfall's exclusivity bother Activision?

Destiny says, "Hi, I'm the next true multiplatform FPS mega franchise." Activision aren;t worried at all when it comes to the FPS online multiplayer crowd.

Destiny is nothing like COD though. Other than the fact that its an fps. He's wondering if Titanfall will take the COD fans away.

Activision is publishing Destiny, but isn't that Bungie's bread and butter?

Titanfall more directly competes with Activision's bread and butter, CoD.

Eitherway, I don't anticipate Titanfall having much impact on CoD. But maybe a bigger impact once its on Sony consoles.

It won't kill CoD when it is cloning CoD so much, so many games changed to be like CoD already, none killed it, Titanfall won't either.


Respawn is cloning the game that they made? Nah I'd say they're evolving it. Good amount of people like the beta, you should try it.

As long as MS keep paying for those map pack early release, Activision don't care. They have 70 plus million potential extra customers to sell to.



Hmm, pie.

Yes, I think they have been angry since the TitanFall debut. Plus let's not forget there was a big lawsuit with the guys that left Activision that made it.

It think that's part of the reason Sony got some exclusives for AC4, and some other stuff.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!

Well, it looks like EA might finally have a CoD killer with Titanfall, a game that has the full power of Microsoft behind it. I can't imagine Activision being happy about this, especially since the CoD map pack deal helped push the 360. Do you think there will be any reaction from Activision? 

I think CoD has reached it's peak, but I wouldn't count it out just yet. Activision could simply say no more map pack exclusivity and have the next CoD map packs released on all platforms at the same time, or put a little extra i the PS4 version of Destiny. 

On the contrary, I imagine Activision are ecstatic with Titanfall's exclusivity as it will not be available on what might be the most hyped system we have seen in a long while, plus there are another 80million PlayStation 3 users who are also unable to buy the game. Had the game been multi-platform then I imagine Activision would be worried, but as it stands I don't think they care.

COD may have reached its peak but it still makes titanfall look shallow.
I think activision should be more worried about how EA bounce back with BF5 after the BF4 slip up.

You missed the sarcasm. You didn't fix statement, just repeated it.

Well then I wonder what they think of Wii U.

A Nintendo console built by Nintendo for Nintendo with bad online infrastructure and no existing audience for online shooters.

Or a hooker.

One of those.


So what possesses them to make COD for it?

Hooker? (what it's gotta be one or the other right?)
