Play this outside the USA (ie Australia) and you won't be as quick to sing the praises...

We pay TWICE what the US does for hardware and games and this is what we get...
No dedicated servers in the country at all.
MAYBE by the end of 2014.
Awesome, right?
Clearly they didn't play it on an Australian connection then...

Looks really great & I can't wait for this one to go live.
Unfortunately, we're being ignored when asking for a beta testing date for console at this stage (Xbox one is where I'll be playing it), but I'm eager as to give this game a go.
The PC testers though have a lot of positive praise for this release & these clips make me want to play it more.
Bring it on!
Clickbait article.
F off. Kinect 2.0 is awesome.
Yeah, want more info on the X1 version pl0x!
Sick to death of this stupid resolution war between consoles.
Focus on the games & software.
If resolution is THAT important to you, then go buy a PC ffs and live in 1080p - soon to be 4k - glory and leave console players the hell alone.
Elitist pricks
Disagree completely.
Perhaps the 'free to play' model is preferred by those on a low budget, but any gaming adult who's on a working salary will not hesitate to drop a mere $15 a MONTH on entertainment if the entertainment is up to par.
As long as the content is fresh, the support solid and the game entertaining, the sub model will not interfere with sales.
In fact, the 'free to play' model is the kiss of death on a MMO. ...
Oh dear god the clickbait bullshit from the NeoGaf wanna-be's are rolling hot atm... aren't they?
Clickbait bullshit article.

At least you guys in the US will actually GET servers.
Try being Australian... not a god damned server in the entire country on launch.
YAY
Key difference MassEffect23 is that DICE are OWNED by EA.
Respawn only use EA in the publishing capacity.
I'm with you in avoiding EA games (as in games produced IN HOUSE with EA like DICE games are), but for a game that only uses EA to publish, I'm willing to roll the dice.
Titanfall will be a killer game mate, trust me on that (I've already played it!)
I'm an xbox gamer through and through and have no plans on buying the PS4.
BUT this is great news that Sony is doing so well and I'm damn glad the gamer support is right there behind them.
Competition is exactly what this industry needs and we all benefit from the success of each platform.
Good on yer Sony & best wishes for a great generation of gaming to come!
Great podcast.
The video was garbage.
It was replayed public cut scenes and gameplay releases with a voice over.
Nothing new here beyond dialogue

Dark Souls is one of the best games I've ever played, yet alone best of last gen.
The only thing that pains me to no end is the lack of announcement for Dark Souls 2 to be ported to next gen consoles.
Yep, count me in too. Xbox platform gamers are starving for a good MMO experience on the console and TESO is going to be the first big AAA to deliver it (not counting Final Fantasy from years ago).
This is going to be more successful than people assume.
So much for DICE 'dropping everything to fix Battlefield' eh?
Battlefield is STILL a mess and it's very clear DICE have moved on.
Word of warning to anyone thinking about getting this game, look what they did to Battlefield.
If you pre-order this or buy it day one, you're going to deserve the utter mess you're bound to get.
Meh, as an Aussie I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with this situation.
Microsoft needs to have pressure applied here to get their servers sorted.
Word is that Australian players will be forced to play on Asian hosted Azure networks and not locally owned servers.
If this is the case and Titanfall ships with no local support here, we're expecting pings between 150 and 300 which will signal a shocking failure for a twitch shooter like this down under.
Microsoft are not expected to launch Azure down under until later in the year, a rough 6 months after Titanfall goes live.
This is a MA...
At least you'll have local servers.
Australians get screwed - again
