A developer from Respawn Entertainment revealed today that Titanfall will not feature bullet penetration or destructible environments. This caused a debate over the reasoning behind the decision, and whether or not it's actually a good one.
This begs the question, why do people think it needs it?
Gamespresso discusses the 'perfect game', and why not every game needs bullet penetration.
The show is set to take place between July 14 and 16
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
MP1st has managed to unearth the title of the in-development Star Wars tactics game by Respawn and Bit Reactor.
It's sad that we even have to have this conversation. No one felt that bullet penetration was an absolutely necessary part of shooters until a Respawn dev mentioned not having it.
Developers should only implement features that for within the design parameters of their game. there are very practical reasons for not having it in titan fall.
The more people I see try to derail the success of Titanfall, the more I realize how big the game is going to be.
Some of my favorite FPS games of all time don't have bullet penetration or destruction (e.g. TF2, Counter Strike, Quake, Unreal Touranment, Halo, Gears) so I honestly couldn't care less if the game does or doesn't have it. It's not going to make or break the game.
Was their even enough outrage about this to make a "Don't worry" article?
Ha! Penetration!
