[Megathread] Titanfall

[NightZero88]

Did a search but didn't see any postings about it. Looks like it'll be released for X-Box 360, X-Box one and PC March of 2014.

Game looks pretty neat in my opinion. Anyone interested?

Titanfall Info

Mechwarrior + firefall?

I am down with this.

[Hendor]

Pretty sure there was a thread on this. Looks awesome and I will get this on PC.

[juggerneat]

From the makers of 'Last Stand', 'Martydom', 'Grenade Launcher', '3x frag, stun, flash'..

Also;
This is modern warfare 2 multiplayer launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTDQcggbmh8 (love the comments like "best cod ever")
And this is how that game turned out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziSCrNeCHBc (best cod ever yeah /sarcasm)

Don't get me wrong, i'm looking forward to Titanfall as well. But these shiny Titanfall trailers don't hold any weight to them. Unless you have fish memory. Then you'd be like "omg this is awesome!".

Let's see how it will turn out.

Titanfall, Destiny and TESO are the games that may want me to buy a nextgen consoles.

But i ll wisely wait them to come and wont buy anything yet

Since diablo3 i am a bit paranoid and dont hype too much anymore.

Ahaha, when i first saw the gameplay, a few weeks back, the grounded units, immediatly reminded me of battleframes from Firefall.

I don't know how I feel about a gun in game that has aimbot enabled on that that instant headshots 3 targets it locks on to. It's only used by pilots when they aren't using the Mechs.

You can't seriously want to play an FPS with a controller?
The best way to play those is with mouse and keyboard. :P

But, dayum this one looks good!

Looking forward to it...not looking forward to EA being involved.

If that's the case you we as well not bother entirely.

So is it true? Is it really just 6v6?

Really?

If it is then this game just went to the back of the line for me.

The more I read/hear about this game, the better off I think I am playing firefall and mechwarrior online instead of a hybrid arena game.

[Yami]

I cancelled my preorder when I found out about the aimbot pistol that is in the game that can headshot 3 enemys. Granted it's a pilot gun but still.

Kinda sick and tired of this to be honest. People automatically assume that in shooters more player slots in a match = better game (which is far from true). BF4 is the only shooter I've played with a high player count that does it well imo. If TitanFall had more than 6v6, then it would be too hectic. Plus AI will make games feel more occupied than they really are.

When I play an online fps, I want it to have an M&M feel. A twelve player cap does not a massively multiplayer feeling, for me, make. Its a shame, I had hope for this game but that is way to tiny for my tastes.

I personally can't stand using a mouse in FPS games, in single-player games it feels like the worlds most boring point-and-click adventure (USE gun ON head) and in multi-player I get out-twitched until it turns into an exercise in frustration.

MechWarrior: Online is an exception to this because responsiveness is limited by your mech's specs and there's more going on that allows battles to be decided by more than just fastest-finger-first. I'm hoping Titanfall - with it's NPCs and giant-robot play - will work similarly but I don't really want to spend £40 or whatever the cost to find out.

It's because it isn't your usual, player vs. player arena shooter. Games will feature players + player's giant robots + NPCs vs. players + player's giant robots + NPCs. On testing 6-a-side seemed to give the best experience.


I definitely have my eye on Titanfall, but I'm not sure I want to buy a full price game I may not enjoy when there are so many f2p alternatives about.

I have yet to run into an AI, in an fps, that was anywhere near as challenging as another player. When all their code is humming smoothly? They can be mildly entertaining. Though still not very interesting. But as soon as any hiccup comes into play? They can easily turn into an embarrassingly bad joke.

Did Respawn suddenly become AI coding masters?

The NPCs aren't supposed to replace players, they're a different class of character.

Then they are not contributing anywhere near as much, to the experience, as another player could. I play online fps's for the chaos, for the challenge that facing dozens of other human beings can bring. I thought Titanfall would be a further refined version of Battlefield, Call of Duty, Planetside, etc...

The 6v6, and AI, revelation shows clearly that it is not. That it is more like a single-player fps's multiplayer mode. How many ?v? is Killzone?

6v6 players with NPC's involved as well, so it's technically more than 12 IIRC.

We've truly hit the next generation of gaming. Get ready for all the pixels and top secret toad tesselation.

Single-player fps's multiplayer modes are what you are looking for (for example CoD has a single-player campaign and seperate arenas for multiplayer mode). Titanfall does away with the single-player mode altogether, so the Campaign is a multiplayer team vs. team experience.

Killzone doesn't seem to have any multiplayer elements, although I only googled it quickly.
