Titanfall (XB1/360)

Started downloading 2:20..... Came home hoping it to be done near 9pm now and its only 80% done... Damn you 4mbit internet! :X

Its 16 and a bit gig download for all interested (not as much as I thought it'd be!)
 
I'm loving it, a game I can enjoy and actually be decent at playing solo. That being said feel free to add me if anybody wants to party up at some point.
 
EA apparently sorry for this game not being on a Sony console. Sauce
Sony also used it’s own metrics in a meeting with EA last week and showed them what they would have sold on the ps3 and ps4. The money EA took from MS doesn’t even begin to cover it. The EA guys went over the math and agreed. EA is in full ‘We’re so ****ing sorry, Sony’ mode currently.

If it's true it's more like they didn't see the PS4 outselling 2-1 at this point so they're sorry about all the money they'll lose.

Greedy publishers are greedy. The devs certainly were not impressed with the exclusivity deal, and at the time made it sound like they were caught completely by surprise. Good for MS, bad for EA and Respawn.

On the plus side I'd be very surprised if the sequel is exclusive to Xbox.

I just think it's very sad that EA acted as if they had no faith in the game, where Respawn obviously felt it would have sold loads on all platforms. I wouldn't be surprised if EA shopped the exclusivity deal around to both MS and Sony, before taking the money and shafting both themselves and their developers.

Seems a completely unbiased and well sourced story.

The source was the same guy who said Blue Point were working on the 360 version before it was officially announced, he's been known to leak correct info in the past.

You honestly think if EA knew the PS4 was going to sell over 6 million consoles before the end of March they still would have gone exclusive to Microsoft/PC?

Yeah, because, you know, Sony don't do exclusive deals with publishers. :rolleyes:

Sounds like sour grapes from people backing PS4 that they've missed out on a great title

Why not, people go exclusive with titles all the time.. Might as well say Second Son could almost double it's sales figures if it was on Microsoft as well (i.e. PC, XO and 360).

Who cares, if the story is true then getting exclusivity on console was a master stroke by MS :)
 
mrs pre-ordered Titanfall for me even before the beta. Arrived yesterday and damn it's addictive! first game was slightly laggy for about 30 seconds and from then on it's was perfect :)

Only downside for me was the amount of time it took to install :(

What about the rest of the world? I'm pretty sure TitanFall is out in more countries than just the US :p

True, but then so far XO is only released in 13 countries against PS4s 50 so there's still huge numbers of markets XO and Titanfall aren't even available in yet. Don't forget when it comes to numbers for software Titanfall on PC is Microsoft as well, MS isn't just the console for when it comes to a gaming platform. At a high level whether it's small PC under the TV as a console of big PC on a desk, it's all MS gaming which will influence exclusives.

This probably isn't the place to rehash that old chestnut though, I'm off to get my **** kicked in Titanfall.
