Yeah how could I miss that! Nice that you admit that you only tried to post a certain picture and that I shouldn't read too much into your post telling us that Titanfall isn't really a game many want on PS4.

You insisting it is, will not change the fact that it isn't. No changes have accured to the console sales after the release of this game. So there was no impact. If that many people would have wanted it, the game would have sold much better. How else do you define want? People talking about it, but never buying it? lol

The game sold probaly to every third or even more Xbox One owners  if we include digital and it would be probaby similar on PS4 if we look at the ratio of CoD and Battlefield sales on PS4 and Xbox One: Telling someone in this thread that not many Xbox One owners and even less PS4 owners are interested in the game is like telling people that you are faster with your bike as someone else with his Ferrari. Or with your words, it sounds like painting a certain picture to me.

i may be wrong and you really believe that but to me there is not much logic behind it because otherwise you also say that PS4 and Xbox One owners didn't show much interest in any game yet and that sounds really unbelievable to me when I look at the sales of some games.

But hey, if you want to believe it...

Well, it should have been canned, last thing we needed was more generic dudebro online shooters. MS funding this stuff is why i don't care about them.


Over a million people would like to agree.


They don't agree because generic dudebro online shooters is all that they want to play. The kind of gamers we don't need.


Who exactly is "we"?

Don't worry i'll leave the beliving part to you. I'm just talking about the hype that didn't translate to sales are VGChartz is reporting them.



It's strange that EA didn't want to fund the game themselves. Since the beginning it was very clear the game would do well.

Also if Sony can make games like UC2, TLoU and GOWIII. I think they could help making TF.

Well they can make games like that themselves, so no need to support every new IP that a third party wants to come up with. What for? The game is gonna come to your system in the end anyways, should it be succesful enough and if not, who cares if it never comes. EA themselves have already said Titanfall 2 will be on the PS4 without Sony supporting them.

Wait a second Sony's Playstation 4 is the favourite Indie platform, But, it's to closed for Respawn's Titanfall! Makes totally sense!



Once you entered you won't be the same anymore. A blog about life.

Well this news is hilarious on a couple levels.

#1 all those stupid threads and posts about how MS is greedy and whatever for "buying the game" and how "omg they should have made more games with that money" and blah blah. To read that the game wouldn't have been made without it, that's pretty amazing. That makes 2 games from third party companies this gen that wouldn't have happened without MS's financial backing. I hope this goes a long way to showing people that you can spend money to have people make games and it doesn't make you evil or greedy or a terrible company.

#2 A PS Vita version LOL. Oh shit, that was great for a laugh.

The parts of the article about the Activision lawsuit were good to read as well.

 

edit

 

I just read Somini's ranting about how Playstation gamers didn't want Titanfall anyway. I guess make that the #3 hilarious thing to come from this news. Yeah dude, whatever. I mean, it's not like Call of Duty sells well on Playstation platforms or anything. And by that of course I mean 3 of the top 4 all time selling PS3 games are Call of Duty games. But hey maybe that completely changed with PS4? Oh wait the best selling PS4 game is Ghosts, and 3 of the top 4 selling PS4 games are FPS. Clearly Playstation gamers don't care about shooters and don't buy them. To be honest idk why Respawn would even go to Sony their platforms sell so little FPS.

No offense but that logic reeks of salty tears.

I totally agree with you.

ButI should have made clear that my comment was directed to the people saying that Sony didn't have the money to fund TF development.

If Sony can make UC2,GT5,TLoU and GOWIII.  They could afford TF.

Article sounds like BS.


big time. Sony bust their asses trying to get every indie developer on board. but when the makers of CoD plead with them to get their game on their next gen console sony refuse? yeah.... sure....

Perhaps because Sony isn't perfect and they can make mistakes like anyone else?

Besides the information is sourced from the developers themselves. It's not fake.



Glad Microsoft Stepped in to help, Titanfall is an AMAZING game!

As far as the whole exclusivity deal goes, Microsoft deserved it if they were actually funding game development, but EA should have been more open with Respawn about the Deal and actually got their consent rather than keeping it a secret until they officially anounced it to the press.
