Forums - Microsoft - When will EA agree to show off the 360 version of Titanfall?

MS isn't hiding the existence of the 360 version, they just aren't advertising it. why? They want to sell xbox ones...........duh

Why is that a problem?

Any 7th gen owner that keeps themselves relatively informed knows they don't need to upgrade for titan fall, I mean, it's often advertised on the 360 dashboard.

The commercialism of the x1 version is more aimed at new adaptors. Instead of confusing them with multiple options for the same title, They are pushing the product that will get the most support in the upcoming future.

Why is everybody getting so upset? lol the 360 has had 8 years in the spotlight. Let MS promote their new product.


No ones upset. Why cant they show the 360 version. Whats the big secret all about? PC and Xbox One gamers got a beta but the 360 gamers got left in the dark. Does nothing about that read rather fishy to you?

I understand that they want Xbox Ones to sell but they are doing a disservice to people who aren't as educated as us about Titanfall as a prospective buy. The question remains...why cant we see any images, videos? Nothing. No comparisons. Not even a beta. EA would normally give a beta but I am sure MS stood in the way of that.

Because Titanfall has enough hype around it to sell on 360 from its name. This is one of the first games MS is going full force with Azure servers so of course they put the beta on Xbox One and PC. If I was trying to sell new systems then there's no way I'd promote for the system that already has an 80m install base. Same thing happened with Call of Duty 2 back in 2005. MS used it to help sell 360s.

 If you're already so sure of what you're saying, if Microsoft can use the Azure for the PC and Xbox One and PC why cant they do it for the 360?

You have to be either Psychic Type or ??? Type to use Cloud, Xbox 360 is neither.

Well it's common practice to put the best product in the lime light.

two Ideas of the reasons, 1 being the game is being mainly built around the xbox one and wasn't a finished product until their recent announcement of going gold. The beta used for feedback to complete the suorce game 1st and then finish up with the port after they know what the finished product will include. 

That would explain why there wasn't a beta for 360 and why that version will be released at a later date.

As for video of that version, it's coming at the end of the month, so it remains to be seen if they will put out any video before it releases. But even if there was video currently let me remind you about infinityward and how they marketed ghost.

E3 - computer photage

and before the next gen release they had the ign crew playing the PS4 version as opposed to the MS version that they have partnership deals with. Why? because the PS4 version was the better version, People will assosiate the game with whatever images they see. Random video of the 360 version can hurt the xbox one version's image by association. before cod hit, do you think any of the advertisments were shown on the 7th gen plats?

I really think it's the same mentality EA employs with Battlefield. They have this awesome version capable of way more than these other versions, and rather than showcase the weaker one, they always showcase the strong one. Zampella said way back in mid 2013 that there are significant differences, or key differences, I don't remember the exact wording, between the two console versions. EA wants the game to push as many Xbox Ones as MS does, they probably just don't want an inferior version being shown around and muddying up the next gen versions.

They still posted pictures of the pictures of the 360 version of Ghosts from May of last year on IGN. Your reasoning is sound though outside of that.
