Titanfall Beta Will it Encourage Players to Switch

The Xbox 360 community is split at the moment, as those who have yet to invest in Next Gen hardware are still unconvinced that the price is right and the content is there to make the leap across.

Switch to XBone? Hmm not for me. Given up on shoot em up game since Halo 2.

General Pinky4474d ago

Then why are you here may I ask?

"Makes Playstation fanboys Buy an Xbox One"
Lol, I'd love to meet a PS fanboy who would switch just because of Titanfall (and not a friend of a friend of someone that someone else met)

"Titanfall Beta Will it Encourage Players to Switch"

No no no.....Titanfall will encourage some people to ADD to their console collection....no one is going to switch for any one game. That's just silly.....people who bought a PS4 aren't going to get rid of their PS4's...the same goes for people who bought X1's.

OC_MurphysLaw4474d ago

No, I don't believe for a moment it will get "Sony Fanboys" to switch. What it could do, is get those who were still waiting on next gen to move now, and it could sway some who were going to get one eventually to move on it now.

More will need to be done from MS if they are going to try and win over "fanboys" of another console, A lot more!

Eonjay4474d ago

A coworker of mine is a 360 gamer. He says he may get an Xbox One one day but only when the price goes down.

nukeitall4474d ago

To troll?

Isn't it obvious, that if a person has no care for shooters since Halo 2, mind you, wouldn't click on a shooter article about this years biggest game.

TomShoe4474d ago

I think Microsoft's aim is to keep 360 players in the Xbox ecosystem by having them move to Xbox One.

I don't think many PS3 gamers will move to Xbox One.

LOL, you get a better chance of seeing Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster before seeing a diehard PS fanboys on N4G switch to another brand beside their beloved Sony.

djplonker4474d ago (Edited 4474d ago )

I live 5 miles from loch ness so I will keep an eye out for him/her!

I will show it my pc , ps2 , ps3 , ps4 ,xbox , xbox 360 , wii , wii u , 3ds and my ps vita.... and then say to It that even though many consider me a ps fanboy on here they are just annoyed I prefer the ps4 over the xbone and then say I am a sony fanboy because I do...

-.-

OokuChicken4474d ago

We'll stick to the PC version, thanks.

no, I'll get the PC version

skoorydook4474d ago

If the 360 version holds its own I can't see that many 360 owners that are waiting for the right time to make the switch, switching up for Titanfall

The X1 will certainly be the better console version but considering it is a hell of allot more expensive option will it be enough to tempt future X1 owners to buy now.

lsujester4474d ago

I'm usually not much for conspiracy theories, but the delay of the 360 version makes a lot of sense just for that reason.

"Have to play it right now? Buy an Xbox One."

JeffGUNZ4474d ago

Eh, with tax season here, titanfall bundle, it's pretty tempting. This game won't sell massive amounts day one like everyone thinks. I see this game like how COD4 was, it had a solid launch, but continued strong for 12-18 months after launch due to word of mouth. I see this happening here, this game will have impressive launch numbers, but will continue to give impressive numbers for a good time after. 2 weeks!

skoorydook4474d ago

I'm not saying it isn't tempting because it is and if the 360 version is well below par then I fully expect the X1 bundles to be a very good seller, just saying if the 360 version ends up running the X1 version pretty close then some may decide to hang off for the likes of Quantum Break,Halo 5 etc.

lsujester4474d ago

I can definitely see some people buying an X1, mainly those who were waiting to get it, anyway. A lot of people expected a Titanfall bundle and they just might buy the system now that there is one... especially if the UK's price drop comes stateside.

Past that, I doubt any PS4 users will suddenly abandon their console for an X1, especially when Titanfall is available on PC and 360. At most, some might get an additional console.

lsujester4474d ago

Yep, MS has a lot riding on Titanfall, it seems. I personally don't think it will, but I am wondering if that cut will make it to the US.

JeffGUNZ4474d ago

I agree, this early into a generation not many people are abandoning their console. I think if anything, some ps4 gamers might ADD a X1 into their collection, but I just don't see anyone this early jumping ship. I see more 360 users upgrading to X1s

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.

MadLad1355d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g1355d ago (Edited 1355d ago )

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

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

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."
