There is nothing new or innovative in Titanfall... it mix good and old ideias very well.

Which makes the final package.....new. :)

Every final package is a new game or sequel lol

Edit - Sorry I forget ports and remakes... these are not new packages.

How was it pointless? Could you even imagine how XBO would be selling without Titanfall exclusivity?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

People like to forget it took COD 3 tries in the 7th gen before it hit it big. Titanfall is purely MP based.....it boggles my mind what Titanfall 2 will sell with a full campaign and expanded MP features.

- Will be the best selling X1 game so far, much better then ANY release at this early in a console lifecycle in any generation (aside from Wii Sports lol).

- Drove up Gold subscriptions
- Increased X1 weekly sales by 20k average
- This is a 3rd party multiplat and it behaved like a exclusive. Trumped Infamous numbers, a 1st party game.
- Gives 360 a shot in the arm and IMO makes its 2014 lineup better then whatever PS3 has this year.

Come at me bros.

Considering Infamous is outselling titanfall it's not true that it "trumped" infamous's numbers.

Fact is it's being outsold by infamous and its on 3 platforms. That's not something to gloat about.

 

You are right tho it will be a great game once they get their shit together and produce a game worth playing instead of just a few repetitive multiplayer maps with audio logs thrown in.

Well isn't this funny considering the very website you are posting from. Why didn't you send me a link of vgchartz estimates and sales of Titanfall and Infamous? What possible reason prevented you from using resources on the very site you post? I would reeeeeeaaaaallllly like to know ;)

You may be new to this sites beautiful resources, allow me to display:

Whoa......that really contradicts your point of view. Maybe you should leave vgchartz lest you be a obvious hypocite.

"produce a game worth playing" - Higher sales and meta then infamous.......so basically you are implying that Infamous is even less of a game worth playing. Your words, not mine.

 


Yeah because using outdated estimates is accurate. Those don't reflect the market at this very moment. Once the next NPD is released we will see Infamous ahead of titanfall. Also it hasn't outsold infamous on xb1. It needs 3 platforms to have a tiny bump over a game that was released on one platform. So again the xb1 sales of titanfall no where near trump the sales of Infamous.

Show me a FPS with Parkour/Mechs/Jet Packs and if there is how well is it implemented compared to Titanfall.

Innovation is not just introduction of new or original, it is also a new method or way to do things.

Outdated? You mean weekly estimates that are adjusted accordingly? You mean March NPD that said Titanfall was outselling Infamous, which didn't include the free game bundle?

That alone shows the X1 version is outselling Infamous. 360 version will chug along. The level of not doing your homework is astounding. Like, this is complete denial on your part.

Are you kidding, no?

A lot of FPS had Parkour or Mechs or Jet Packs in the past... some even better implemented than Titanfall like Unreal Tournament.

Unreal Tournament 3 have all of them... and beter implemented too... old is old... even Half-Life mods had these things.

Titanfall is great but it recicles olds ideias to make a great package... nothing wrong with that.

Where did you like the last 20 years of competitive multiplayer games?
