Should Sony Worry About Titanfall?

Titanfall is almost here and the Xbox One appears to be dropping in price. Respawn's game is super hot right now...we can't stop talking about it.

LOL

You can understand the gaming press being desperate to try to manufacture a narrative to generate page hits where there is some sort of desperate struggle going on between Sony and Microsoft.

But, Titanfall on the Xbox One??? just LOL

It's a graphically downgraded PC port of mediocre 6v6 online game Call of Doody with Mechs game that no one would care about if Microsoft wasn't desperately trying to hype it.

Microsoft is so desperate at the failure of the Xbox One in the marketplace that they are now giving away this supposed 'system seller' with those stacks of unsold Xbox Ones sitting in stores everywhere now.

What's funny about a game that could dethrone COD? It's the exclusive after exclusive coming from MSFT all the way up to Halo 5 that will amplify Titanfall's effect.

LuaMaster4472d ago

> It's the exclusive after exclusive

A game that anyone with an average PC can play a superior version of rather than wasting 500 dollars on a console that no one wants?

Yeah, great 'exclusive' Microsoft!

stuna14472d ago

The key word is "could"! But just like any game, nothing is written in stone. TitanFall could very well not perform up to everyones expectation sales wise, then what will Microsoft have to rely on?

Microsoft is struggling to garner the level of support that Sony now has, and it's showing in the decisions they are making now.

Also Halo 5 has of yet has not been positively confirmed a solid 2014 release so far.

SMH
I have officially seen it all. Titanfall could dethrone COD? Explain how TF even has a chance to dethrone a game that is on nearly every format vs one that is only on MS hardware and OS?

On topic:
Sony is out pacing MS nearly 2 to 1 world wide and the gap is increasing and not shrinking. Considering that why would this author ask if Sony should worry about one game?

Did he even pay attention to Sony since they entered the gaming industry? If there one thing Sony or their consumers are worried about is having a plethora of games to play throughout their consoles life cycle. They don't put all their eggs into a game or 3. They go hard after every genre and even create new ones along the way.

I have both consoles and I am WAY more excited for Infamous:SS than I am TitanFall. To me TF is a fun game but average looking and performing game (unstable frame rates). I don't see it having the legs. At least not for me.

Geekman4471d ago

1) Play it. It's not COD with mecs.
2) If it was more than 6vs6 it'd be crazer than Battlefield, with Titans everywhere and people flying all across the map.
3)I don't care if it's 720p,900p, or 1080p. It looks good

But it's STILL nothing for Sony to worry about long term.

sinspirit4471d ago

I've played it. The core gameplay is call of duty. The way the shooting feels and gaining kills/points to trigger a helicopter, air raid, etcetera, but in this case a mech. The only reasons it doesn't feel like Call of Duty is because it has far less game modes, weapons to use, and less players. It is even less strategy than Call of Duty. It's simply rush, kill, rush, kill, call a Titan, rush, kill.

@sinspirit

gunplay is more like crysis to be honest

diehardmetallicafan4471d ago

The dreamcast was better than the xbox one! and titanfall is going to disappoint alot of people when they max out their 'prestige' levels(sounds familiar...) and wonder what else there is to play?

killzone6194471d ago (Edited 4471d ago )

''is dust Cal of Doody wiv Mekz"- every sony pony

lunatic00014471d ago

I hope it helps Microsoft because they are getting their asses whooped But ps4 and Xbox one games ain't got shit on PC versions of the same game ps fanboys and Xbox fanboys fight on who has the less shitty version of a game...kind of sad

diehardmetallicafan4471d ago

have you played the last of us?..

lunatic00014471d ago (Edited 4471d ago )

Yes I have...great game...what of it...all im trying to say is that gamers these days...all they care about is frame rates and resolution...if someone cares about that soo much...get a PC...then u can brag about fps/resolution all u want...don't brag about fps/resolution if you are a console gamer....its pointless...I can't wait for titanfall next month and infamous...epic month

arika4471d ago (Edited 4471d ago )

MS should worry about Titanfall because if it doesn't sell, it's going to be much harder for them to catch up with ps4. Xbone should also worry about this date march 21st because that's when we know what ps4 is capable off with the release of infamous second son.

medman4471d ago

It's going to be interesting to compare sales next month. Infamous may sell more copies for PS4 than Titanfall sells for xbone. Will it sell more consoles? We will see.

Titan Fall is imo overly easy, which will make it an absolute joy for console kiddies (& the odd peecee hermit).

Personally I think it'll sell Xbox Ones in droves, people will want this game due to the instant gratification it gives you no matter how crap you are (as you simply can't be bad at this game, after 4 minutes even if you haven't done a single thing it'll give you a giant robot which will kill for you lol).

KingDadXVI4472d ago (Edited 4472d ago )

From the looks of the pre-orders for the Xbox One version it will move consoles for sure. Couple that with the bundle and MS definitely have a winner on their hands.

That being said I don't see any reason for Sony to worry anymore about TitanFall than they did with Halo. Sony will have its own exclusives to sell consoles. It did not bother either company last gen when the other had a great exclusive game and it won't this generation either.

@Hocking ROFL Did you actually play the Beta? There were 2 million people playing it during a 5 day window. It will sell like hot cakes and will be one of the best selling games of 2014.

I have played many, many FPS MP games in the 32 years I have played on consoles and very few games; Halo 2 comes to mind, have ever felt as good to play. That alone will drive sales of this game and the Xbox One. And the graphics are pretty damn good for an antique engine.

JustPlay44471d ago

How many where playing on the PC then x1 is real question, PC mean nothing to them. Pre order also mean nothing, sales do so will have to wait in see

admiralvic4472d ago

No.

I think regardless of how good or bad Titanfall is, the Xbox 360 version will prevent it from being a serious threat. I mean, it will drive sales and the bundle most certainly will help, but it's not a game you NEED an Xbox One to play, which in turn will hold it back from being an unstoppable sales force. In fact, a lot of people speculate the Xbox 360 version was actually delayed for this reason.

Donjune4471d ago

Keep it 100 folk! I don't think Sony should worry, but Tiatanfall is a ton of fun!

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.

Venoxn4g1354d ago (Edited 1354d ago )

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

gurp754d ago

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."
