While I'm not debating the game's fun. I highly doubt its efficacy as a "competitive" multiplayer FPS. Pilots obviously make challenging opponents but the existence of AI opponents bars it from being an officially competitive game. Remove them, then even all else kept the same, I would agree.

In fact, Respawn seemed to have intended on making the game easy to pick up and hard to master to appeal to as large an audience as possible, not for it to be a competitive multiplayer FPS.

Someone who would NOT have touched a SNES or GameCube back in the day because its a kiddy toy or nerdy (if they were around then) but who NOW only jumps on Xbox now that video games are socially acceptable and only buys "cool manly" games like CoD and Madden are not gamers.

Too much hype I say. But, my opinion doesn't count, I haven't played it yet.

What do you have against "cool manly" games?

I play Fifa and Titanfall. Love them more than "not cool, less manly" games like JRPG.

I used to own NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Saturn, PS1,PS2 and own a X360 and X1. Does it make me not a gamer?

Also, what about others that only jumps on PS because video games are now socially acceptable?

I'm confused. I thought new things were, you know...."new". Not 3 years old

 

All good points, except for #5 (I guess you did not read the Final Hours of Titanfall).  It cost EA $30 million, they scrapped the single player campaign when they realized the couldn't get it done in time, they switched game engines half way and ended up scrapping a lot of their work, and they asked EA to outsourced the 360 version because they couldn't get that done on time either.

I haven't played the game, but I still have a feeling that the exclusivity thing didn't worked like they had hoped for. If Respawn, EA and Microsoft were aiming at a Call of Duty 4 hype level, it didn't make it, plain and simple.

Pointless exclusivity? Maybe. It did help Xbox One sales, but not by much. And it didn't reach its entire audience, so it might as well be pointless.

Why COD4 was successful? Because it was available on every console.

Don't wanna be that guy....well maybe i do. But KZ MP isn't exactly what FPS nuts would call a 1st class experience. Yes I am sure in strictly PS fan circles KZ MP is pretty nice and yes, I am aware Halo has jetpacks and mech combat as well. But Titanfall is like COD in that it is very fast and twitch based FPS, a different breed then Halo or KZ. It integrates them while maintaining that fast paced feeling. That and the parkour is something new and fresh.

I here rumours that microsoft prevented this game from getting canned. Basically saved it. If this is the case then your argument really kind of falls flat on its face as they would not have to of paid to keep this game away from Sony. Microsoft would have made them sign an exclusivity deal for them to help to get the game completed.

So when you think of it that way it was a good investment for them because it is one hyped game that they managed to get that wont be on sony platforms.

The fact the PS4 still outsold the xbone is meaningless. People overhyped the game. I always said the PS4 would outsell the xbone NPD that month. Looking at the numbers for MGS4 when it released on PS3 would have told you this.

Ironically that is what you are telling everyone. If you were right this game would have no basis for any type of buzz because it seemingly does nothing fresh
