My understanding was that these games were "exclusive" for a period but would eventually be multiplatform.

It most likely will, there's those pictures on neogaf of Titanfall running on the PS4 devkit, so its probably just a matter of them waiting till the time exclusive runs out.
The problem is, Battlefront and other next gen huge franchises will be out, and Titanfall will be played out by then. Until of course Titanfall 2. Then MS will just back the truck up and say "How much do you need for us to keep this?"

It'll be on PC too, but I'm not even interested in it. Zero story/campaign, online only, and to me it seems like COD with Mechs. Not my thing.

I knew because of the way the devs avoided answering about PS4 that it would probably be released in time. Especially since some markets won't get the XB1 but have the PS4 option.

This has been my understanding as well.

There will be an exclusive window for most of the games, but they'll eventually find their way to other platforms.

I really want a GTAV PS4 announcement, though.

I could see MS paying a boatload of money to EA to keep this exclusive if it becomes a massive XBO system seller, much like they did with Mass Effect. It'll still come to the PC, because the money/effort to keep it off of the PC wouldn't be worth it, since neither console maker considers the PC as a viable threat when it comes to sales numbers.

At some point, unless the XBO is just a huge runaway hit that pre-order numbers aren't fleshing though at this point, I have to imagine someone at MS will turn off that flak cannon that is firing constant bags of money into EA though.

This game, looks like a free 2 play game?

 

[KaOTiK]

It always was. It was simply a time exclusive. The amount of money MS would need to pay EA to keep it totally exclusive would be really really high and EA wants this to be a big IP. We just don't know how long the exclusivity deal is for. Doesn't matter to me anyways, because *if* I do get it, it would be on the PC. That's a big if though.

I couldn't possibly care less. I don't see what's the least bit appealing about this game. Looks like Lost Planet to me, and that wasn't popular.

I'm with you. I see why some shooter fans can want to have something different now, but if they are so hyped up for mechs why not just do Battlefield 4 with jets, copters, tanks, jeeps, naval gunships etc?

There seems to be a pretty large group of hardcore fanboys riding the hype train on this game because of the "cloud gaming" garbage MS is marketing to the fools who think no other system can play this game and that the XB1 will be better than the PC. All it amounts to is the developers getting free dedicated servers in exchange for exclusivity for however long.

With regard to bf4...if it's like bf3, not everyone enjoys vehicle combat. Not everyone likes huge maps where you can't realistically do anything as a ground combatant. I'm not saying that's bad, but I find myself avoiding those types of maps at all costs when I play bf3. I'm also not saying bf3 is a bad game, but it's a very very different experience - I like shooters with ground combat, period, and dying nonstop to tanks all day isn't fun (eg bf3). It doesn't help it is so hard to take tanks out. I think the concept of Titan's fall is cool - you're using robots in conjunction with ground combat, but the mechs replicate the ground combat experience fairly well. It also has a ton of special moves to spice the game up a bit. Personally I think it looks pretty cool, I really dont give any cares about XB1 or cloud, I just want a fun and enjoyable game. So far all the previews for Titans Fall make it look fun, so hopefully that will translate to the final product.

Since I enjoy ground combat - I still enjoy Black Ops 2 and greatly look forward to this game.

"Special Moves" is what makes it sound terrible to me. This isn't a fighting game or Ninja Gaiden.

 

[purbeast0]

titanfall could also possibly come out for virtual boy.

It'd really put you in the game with your eyes burning and all.

It also isn't Quake. Quake was awesome for it's time, but having a lot of special abilities is what draws one into a game. A simple run and gun shooter was great circa 1996, but video games have progressed. Not being a basic shooter is a net benefit for the game which is based on ground and mech combat - it needs additional abilities to spice the game up for fun.

This has nothing to do with XB1 or the cloud, I think the game looks promising. Because of that i'm willing to give it a try.

You are right shooter games have progressed, to what Battlefield is today. That's my view. I compare everything to Battlefield because it really is IMO the one to beat.

If you don't have a story you absolutely must IMO have 32 player battles.

 

[blackened23]

Not everyone agrees with the statement about battlefield. Like I said, it's not the best game for someone who enjoys ground combat. The game forces vehicle combat down your throat on many maps, and that isn't the thing for a lot of folks. Hell even when you want to be a ground combatant you can't on vehicle combat maps. Unless you want to die repeatedly and hate the game.

Heh, a good infantry squad can defend against any vehicle attack in the game. It takes a little coordination is all.

Besides that, Titanfall is trying to be an arena shooter...those died long ago. I suppose if I had to pinpoint my view on the game it's a couple small things. First Microsoft is putting too much PR out there and a lot of artificial hype. I'm already tired of the game and haven't even played it. Second, I am a little tired of shooters. If it doesn't have a single player story or at the very least a lot of lore, history, and background to go along with it...something to make the world feel alive, I just can't get into it. That is why I even play games like Metro (great story and atmosphere), Halo (huge universe with lots of lore and history). The difference is Battlefield for me feels like a warzone at times, there's a lot more options to reach the objective. The idea isn't to kill the most people, you have a mission. I can't play CTF anymore and FFA even Team FFA. I gave up on Quake and UT many years ago because I simply got tired of shooting at other players with no real point to doing so. It is also why I have never played CoD online.

I really don't think BF is at all the best shooter. Having finally played BF3, I have more respect for how they set the game up. I personally HATE vehicles and I rather compare everything to CounterStrike.

But it's like just said below your post, all based on how you play. I personally love the Halo setup of just 4 on 4. I think that's an amazing setup and I feel 32 player battles and larger, you can get lost in the game and your contribution is relatively minor to the outcome of the game. While in Halo, I've put the team on my back countless times in the last 10 kill stretch to win a game.

Edit: It's also you again with the single player side. I haven't loaded up the single player side of a shooter since Halo 1. I couldn't care less about singe player. Also, when you say coordination to kill something, how many people on xbox live aren't using mics? I put a microphone on for BF3 for a day and I ran into 4 other people total that had a headset in use. A LOT of people still don't communicate enough for me to want to play some 32 person shooter online where teamwork is extremely important to bring down vehicles. I've taken down quite a number of tanks easily single handedly though, and other vehicles when I played BF3, but meh, I still usually don't like vehicles.
As for Titanfall being overhyped. That's usually based on how much a person keeps up on gaming. Just like how people hate music because it's overplayed, even if it is a good song, just because it's on the radio. You're subjecting yourself to the advertising and thus not liking it. I don't feel TitanFall is overhyped at all, and that's because I probably haven't seen 5% of the advertisements you have.

battlefield is my least fav shooter of the past gen. im just not a fan of huge maps that take 4 hours to walk across unless you are in a vehicle. but i'm also not a fan of huge teams. i prefer the 2v2 or 4v4 or 6v6 shooter games/maps. not a fan of the big team battles in halo either.

obviously all of this is personal opinion/preference so trying to say one is factually the best is kind of pointless.

Yeah, I follow everything in gaming pretty close. I check various sites daily for the latest news and videos etc. That's probably why I am tired of hearing the hype for this title. It's like some sites have a new write up or video talking about it every day. Gets old.

I also play Battlefield exclusively on the PC where 32 vs 32 is common on larger maps. This makes it so that you aren't walking for miles until you see someone as with only 16v16. Maybe it's just that more PC players are team players rather than loners but it was never very hard to coordinate efforts. It also helps that most of the time you got some chat in the chatbox from your team. There wasn't any voice communication built into the game directly so unless you had a group on skype or something, you used the chat box.

I've just come to expect more than simply 14 players anymore for shooters, but Battlefield is the only shooter I play currently. I did try Halo but there were certain weapons being used almost exclusively (the DMR for example) which made the game feel stale a bit. I think it mostly depends on the players you find online that determines your experience.
