So just like the original.

Respawn confirms they are working on Titanfall sequel, will be multiplatform
- Thread starter iMax
- Start date
It's not that the phrase "console exclusive" is technically inaccurate, it just reeks of PR speak. I even remember some games that were PS3/Wii/PC (just a few, but they existed) or 360/Wii/PC being referred to as "HD console exclusive."
While technically accurate, it's also clearly trying to create a very particular frame in the readers' mind. Saying something like "it's on lots of platforms but not on Sony's platform specifically" doesn't sound as nice to the marketers.
I think both Sony and Microsoft work hard to create a sense in the marketplace that Playstation/Xbox exist in a bubble that is separated from the rest of the industry. In the past, this made sense, but the overall market has evolved rapidly over the last 10 years, and new competitors have exploded in popularity, be they things like Steam or iOS or even Facebook. It is in Sony and Microsoft's interest to continue to pretend like these things don't exist, and phrases like "console exclusive" are an important part of their arsenal in maintaining that perspective.
But just to be clear, I'll repeat that I agree that "console exclusive" (or "HD Console exclusive" or "next gen console exclusive") are technically fine in terms of meaning.

Does that really matter? Only time a PS4 version has really been ganked because of marketing deal is AC Unity.

Would be their loss. As it stands now it will have to compete with COD, Battlefield/Battlefront, Destiny and The Division on PS4. No shortage of shooters.
You can play it in 1440p on PC if you'd like. 1080p in this day and age is just sad.
GTA, Watch Dogs, Wolfenstein, Evolve, and so forth. The list of competitors for Titanfall is very long.
Sweet, I found out yesterday the season pass for the map packs was free on Origin from a buddy and I immediately downloaded it. It got me wondering what those Respawn folks were up to, I assumed they were at work on a sequel, but was wondering when we'd hear from them about it. Definitely interested to see what they do on their next go 'round.
I played quite a bit on PC but haven't touched it in a long time. I enjoy it a lot, it's very fun, but it just felt for me around gen 7/8 there just wasn't enough to keep coming back for. With 3 new map packs to check out I'm hoping to have some more fun with it, hopefully when I get on it tonight around prime time there's a decent player base around.

so basically the same competition it had before?
I'm not talking about the actual performance of the game hence why I put quotation marks. I'm talking about advertising, marketing, dlc, posible MLG showing etc.

I just tried it at 1440p downsampled for the first time since AMD update, and it looks glorious. As long as the sequel shows up on PC with similar controller support I'm happy camper.

Game needs a meaty single player campaign.

Wow, I am shocked.
I also laughed when they mentioned Evolve, will Titanfall 2 have even less content?

I can definitely see how the term "console exclusive" can come across that way [especially since it's used as a bulletpoint in a similar fashion to "(true) exclusive"]. I don't think it's that big of a deal though due to the reasons I've stated before -- it's still a term that means a lot to many since there's a good amount of people who don't play games on PC.
Yeah, I agree with this.

Yes and those games are still going strong while Titanfall is in the bargain bin and season pass being given away for free.
Bruh, do you even 4K?
That's fine. My actual, personal stance is "play it however you want." I just think it's odd when people have resolution wars between Xbox and Playtation because one has 100p more than another, then proceed to ignore the PC version which is considerably higher fidelity than either.
I'm okay with people caring about resolution, in which case both the PS4 and Xbox are sad. I'm also okay with people not caring about resolution (like me), in which case all of them are fine. I'm considerably more suspicious of people who seem to flip the "I care about resolution" switch on and off depending on the situation.
Because you can spend the entire game killing them instead of the human controlled players and still win. They don't have to get rid of them but at least include another multiplayer mode without them.
Not only that, there are 4k TVs available. If you want to go above 1440p, you can! It's just so sad that some people are still stuck playing the game in 1080p.
Just to be clear: I don't actually believe this. I think it's fine to play the game in 1080p. Then again, I think it's fine to play it in 900p, too.
And as to your list: poor Evolve. Doesn't even make the list.
Maybe because it's older? If anything it would make more sense to compare it to the shooters at console launch (late 2013).

off topic but I hope ps4 and pc only players get the opportunity to play SO. It's too damn fun.
Hopefully titanfall 2 will have more content and they don't rush it out for 2016.

They included a pilot hunter mode already, it wasn't that great.
You would also have to kill a serious amount of grunts to be viable - and if you did I'd be fine with that kind of contribution. It adds variety to the game. It's just how Titan fall works

So people will continue to not care much about this game.. make the "have you seen TitanFall" jokes... or just get it for the PC like the first one....
Am I right guyz!?!?!?!?!
These people's posts and/or feelings towards the first Titanfall must have really affected you to the point where you needed to make such a passive aggressive post. Good for you.
Yes, it's still not on Wii U.

Why not build your own PC to use as a console?
i hope they learn that lesson and for people who thinks gamers only buy cod for mp because they only mp

They're going to have to have paid DLC somewhere.
Anyone that hasn't come to terms with that should just bail out of threads for these types of games now before they Derrick themselves.
Hopefully, it's just for extra cosmetics (Titan voices, outfits, skins, emblems) than new Titan models and weapons.
I guess the silver lining should be that the prices shouldn't be as egregious as 2K's prices for Evolve cosmetic and character DLC. EA seems to have their finger on the business pulse better than that.

Would've been better with a trailer, but yeah, nothing surprising here.
Poop!

I've always felt that same way that if you truly cared about resolution you wouldn't be gaming on a console.
Don't know about retail but the game is in the EA Vault and all of the DLC is free for EA Access users.

Bluepoint Games did a wonderful job with that port. Only complaint I remember hearing was that their DLC/update content was at least a month behind Respawn's.
