From all accounts, Titanfall will be a huge success.

This type of thing is very typical i.e. Respawn owns the IP, but EA owns the publishing rights for probably a trilogy meaning they own the right to publishing two sequels as well. EA then funds Respawn and they all reap the rewards.

@not

you don't have to be a genius to figure there is about 80 million Xbox 360s that Titanfall will be available too as well compared to the measly 6 million PS4.

Do the math and it is clear what game is likely to sell more. More buzz, likely higher rating, and bigger user base translates to most likely much better sales!

People have different tastes in games, but man how can you not want Titanfall as the pack in game, with that awesome console box art?

All I can say is standby for Titanfall!!!

Only three more days!!!!!! :D

@chris:

You can all it what you want, but MS is reacting to the market. They are ensuring people that don't like shooters have another option.

That is a nimble competitive company at work.

People unaware of business, and has an allegiance with brands call it "desperate". Others call it a smart business move and a great way to reward new buyers.

In case you haven't noticed, the Xbox One is selling well despi...

I agree!

The outrage is exaggerated. Besides, good graphics do not make up for a shoddy game play so I could care less.

Give me a good game and I will buy it. Give me a soulless awesome looking game and I will pass it like turd!

@Baka-akaB:

"And you guys keep saying mp is better without providing even one shred of evidence and intel ."

You want evidence?

If you want to see it. Let's see:

MS:

a) dedicated servers via cloud on all games. Azure is a one of the largest cloud in the world.

b) Titanfall likely wouldn't exist if MS didn't come up with a solution for their cloud needs. Titanfall freque...

Jack would have said for family if that was the case. He doesn't have another job unlike Don Mattrick either, so this doesn't sound planned at all. More like he was pushed out.

Oh well, it isn't like Jack will suffer financially or anything.

I liked Jack the least from the Sony crew, and Kaz Hirai was way better. At least it ain't Ken Kutaragi!!! ah!

What wonders?

Doesn't matter how pretty Titanfall will look when you lag out, because on PS4 multiplayer games would be running on P2P, just like flagship games like KillZone: Shadowfall.

Remember, Respawn went to both MS and Sony for their cloud needs, and only MS came back with a solution using Azure!

So yeah, Titanfall would look great, but play like cr@p lagging out or meeting a lag switcher/cheater/host advantage....

Sensationalism on n4g... go figure!

As I stated above, but combined the Sony has skewed numbers due to launch and being in almost 4 times the countries than MS right now so yeah... it speaks for itself.

I'm surprised MS is doing as well as it is while everyone is waiting for the Titanfall bundles.

What is far more interresting is the fact that 3DS is selling so well, tracking almost as good as PS4 in all regions when you factor out the early Japan launch rush.

Well, the difference is also that the Xbox One is ONLY released in 13 countries!

The PS4 is released in almost 4 times as many countries as Xbox One, and released in the 3 biggest markets, US, UK and Japan. The Wii U is released in even more countries worldwide, then you add 2 more platforms, and we quickly see how skewed these numbers are.

On top of that, the PS4 just released in Japan, so their numbers will be skewed towards launch sales too boot.

Which each passing game, the gap is narrowing significantly.

That said, I would rather have lower resolution and smoother and consistent frame rate since this is a 30fps game.

The vast majority though, cannot tell the difference between 900p and 1080p, let alone 960p and 1080p.

Well the more successful Titanfall is, the more likely it will motivate MS to keep it exclusive!

In short, MS has been good partners, has the cloud technology to support Titanfall, has the financial resources and the motivation to keep it exclusive.

Temporary or not, I think a port to PS4 would have been far down the line and getting the cloud infrastructure would be very costly and difficult since Sony doesn't have a comparable cloud. We all know how sh1...

That is so ironic, but you know what I would notice more than the resolution or frame rate when it is above 30?

Lag in the multiplayer portion of KZ: Shadowfall or when host is using a lag switch?

i.e. what is far worse than all this is the use of P2P behind a proxy server to hide the fact that, the game is still P2P!

Actually on Windows Phone every app is removable including carrier installedx ones, other than core services like Messaging or Phone book.

This would be more an integration into games for achievment, XBL infrastructure (think cloud) for online play, messaging, matchmaking and contacting other XBL friends.

Pretty neat and might just propel mobile gaming into a more serious venue.

Let's hope MS can do it instead of the half @ssed attempts...

Really what?

PS+ would keep me busy with pretty recent games for free. Far Cry 3 was recently given away for free too.

I cannot wait to play Titanfall on Xbox One, with all the niceties Respawn is hinting at! :D

@ic3fir3:

We all know that PC will be subject to hacking, cheaters and all sorts of other unpleasantries compared to the console version. Graphics is all great on PC, but I would rather minimize frustration and stick to consoles even the Xbox 360 version. Who knows, maybe the Xbox 360 version will have the most players!?

For a while there I thought it was PS+ releases. I was like, Infamous on PS4?

Dang! ... but then I was wrong. Tomb Raider is a dang good game to get!

I would stop buying games on Playstation. Just wait for the goodies to arrive for free.

The fact that it is a sticker on it, that you can tell is there is what makes it look tacky.
