Gaming Blend writes: "This weekend Respawn Entertainment is hosting a small alpha test for Titanfall on Xbox One. The studio's community manager Abbie Heppe says that they might hold a larger test once the game reaches beta, though. I really hope they do."

100% Agree. I need to play this game!

truefan14508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

Yea I would love to play it, also that means there will be a ton of gameplay in the cloud to be used to improve the AI. I like the addition of grunts as they don't care about K/d and will help take down titans. I think a beta definitely improves the value of the game.

Might as well. There are videos floating every where now. Plus would be a good stress test.

I don't think it NEEDS an open beta. Folks have been playing and enjoying titanfall at 6v6 since PAX and gamescom. I think most of the hysteria was from folks who want the game to fail due to its affiliation with Microsoft.

I'd like to see an open beta, but for selfish reasons. there's no reason this game couldn't do well with a traditional release.

Frodosmugins4508d ago

its not wanting to fail!

Its cos it has had so much hype and marketing pumped in to it like its the only game worth buying ever!

Its COD with mechs big woop!

If a online shooter has perks(invisibility/health regen..) there is no skill involved!

I hate how this game gets so much hype when there are actual good games out there that need more hype and marketing!

You go play what your told to play while rest of us use our own brains to decide!

mhunterjr4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

What are you talking about man? No one 'tells' me what to like. I personally like a variety of shooters ranging from twitch to squad based military...

Has it ever occurred to you that the game is getting hype because a lot of people have played and enjoyed it?

And your comment about power ups inherently removing the need for skill is BS. Unreal, Halo, Quake, Team Fortess, hell, even golden eye etc all have had such power ups and were still big on the competitive gaming front. It's all about balancing.

It sounds like you are the one telling people what they should like...

hmmmm4508d ago

@frodo
Please tell us, oh wise one, what should we be playing?

giovonni4508d ago

Have you played the game to even label it a COD with Mechs ? It's down right ridiculous how much energy you waste trying to prove to us this game isn't worth it... Lets get down to the real issue... what is it you really fear about Titan Fall? Be honest, is it the fact that it might actually be better than you think, and your ego can't take it?
I'm curious..... and just a reminder you have had to play the game for an honest judgment.

Ashby_JC4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

What marketing???

They have pretty much gotten free publicity for the last month or so.....6v6 drama....now alpha videos being leaked.

You hate that this game is getting attention??? There is a reason is getting attention...because
Unlike other games this one has actually been played by many...

...and the majority are coming away impressed.

What are these other games you feel should get more attention??

No one is telling me to play anything. I keep my yet out for information and make me own buying decisions.

Ps. The line.."its cod with mechs" is so overused it's getting pathetic.

Goldeneye64 had perks!? it had cheats but no perks!

how can u tell me perks don't kill skill!

you try playing Socom1-2! I don't think you would survive!

mhunterjr4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

If by perks you mean custom loadout, then no. But it did have powerups that gave temporary advantages.

Perks only remove the need for skill if they are unbalanced. COD perks are notoriously unbalanced, but it isn't the mere existence of perks that take away the need for skill.

In a well designed game, perks come with a trade off. I haven't played titanfall, so I don't know how well the loadout options are balanced. But , presumably, you haven't either...so you shouldn't be making blanket statements.

Again, I play all sorts of shooters, including realistic military shooters. I used to play a lot of SOCOM, Ghost Recon, rainbow 6 and counter strike. I survived just fine. But a game doesn't have to be realistic to require skill. Different styles of games simply require a different sets of skills.

PsylentKiller4508d ago

Become a soldier and fight, in a relatively small arena, in a 6 vs 6 battle to the death using only modern military weaponry! I don't think you will survive!

It's a freakin game. No one claimed CoD to be a realistic simulation nor find they say the same for BF3 or Titanfall.

There's no skill in Mario games because Mario doubles in size when you eat a mushroom. When you eat a flower you can throw fireballs. The power ups kill skill. /s

Frodosmugins4508d ago

Watchdogs, Destiny, Thief, Infamous Second Sun!

I wont be buying any of these games!

4508d ago
Frodosmugins4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

I have not played them and neither have you!

what makes you think these games will be worth a buy?

Destiny is the only one im looking at and that's only cos of its coop elements!
but reminds me to much of borderlands and I cant do another borderlands! 1 was enough!

btw guys remember my name has "smug" in it!
if u get it! but I am no troll!

as its my last post!

I couldn't embed video but 2min in I thought I was watching COD!

Ashby_JC4508d ago

Ok let me ask this...your not getting titanfall I assume.

For a game your not getting..why spend time commenting on it???

I'm not getting infamous second son...guess what..I haven't commented on not one single article about the game.

I do watch videos etc on it. But I'm not interested..so why bother.

Volkama4508d ago

"I want to play Titanfall early!" =/= "Respawn need an open beta".

All Titanfall 'needs to do' is be a great game.

Titanfall still has plenty of hype, and MS/EA have barely kicked the marketing campaigns into action yet.

djplonker4508d ago

I am giving this one a miss I dont want to have to touch origin or an xbox one plus it is Ea the ripp off merchants the collector edition costs £250 ($410) in the uk!

I bet this will have a season pass because £40/$60 isnt enough for Ea so there will be 4 map packs at like £12.99 each or another £40 for the set....

**** you ea!

JeffGUNZ4507d ago

EA doesn't own Respawn, they are just publishing the game. Their won't be a season pass or anything like that since Respawn is self-owned and not owned by EA. Sorry pal, you'll need to find another angle to try and downplay this game.

LILShaggy8054508d ago

I think the beta should be held for Xbox 360 because that's what most people are buying for. I would also like to know what its like on 360 because we still don't know who's developing it.

djplonker4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

I would say there is a chance it will sell the most on pc!

as for the best versions as-long as it is not a console port

pc>one>360

It would be funny though if the worst version sold the most.

Sm00thNinja4508d ago

No. The way Microsoft markets it'll be the biggest next gen/ current gen seller thus far. Enough backing and it'll be Microsofts next Halo

djplonker4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

@sm00th On the platform yes titanfall will be the xbox's best seller but mark my words destiny with its multiform release will destroy it in sales figures and once again ea will be looking at activision with jealous eyes!

destiny £40 gets you 10+ years of content

titanfall £40 with a £12.99 map pack every 3 months until the last one is released maybe a year or two after release then ea will drop it like everything else!

Sm00thNinja4508d ago

I hope so EA is on my sh!t list after bungling BF4. Ill be picking Destiny up on the PS4 when it drops. Titanfall on Xbone and Destiny on PS4

OpieWinston4508d ago

1) Respawn isn't making the X360 port
2) That'd be a TERRIBLE way to get the game shown off (Here's the worst version of our game! :D)
3) Only cheap people suggest X360 version because they don't invest in a decent PC or X1.
4) X360 version doesn't have Dedicated Servers
5) I doubt Titanfall is going to sell best on the 360 considering the amount of hype it's got going for it in terms of X1 sales and PC gamers who've been itching for a good Sci-fi FPS on their Origin accounts.

Your name explains why you suggested 360 Beta.

Sm00thNinja4508d ago

He's a troll lets not waste our breath

LILShaggy8054508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

I'm not cheap, I have enough money for an Xbox one and have a PC. But let's see, Xbox 360 has over 76 million consoles while xbone has 3.1 million sold. Xbox 360 does have dedicated servers for it. Xbone, 360 and PC will all use the cloud for servers, respawn already said they would.360 version will sell the most alongside the PC. A beta should be held on all 3 platforms. Current gen won't be any different from next gen except for graphics and they won't be much better on next gen considering they started the work for it on 360 and moved it to xbox one. Do your research before posting bull**** facts that aren't true.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1354d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1353d ago (Edited 1353d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp753d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
