Twist. Nintendo is the only company to fund titanfall 3, bayonetta style.

I'm aware it was a drunk conversation. I think we can agree to disagree here, no sense in arguing over a minor PR gaffe.

Why would someone get mad at that? It's the truth.
People are probably mad because Nintendo fans are deflecting using that excuse, as if Nintendo games never bomb. It happens to everyone.
True kinda like how B:AK was made on UE3 but on a much more beef up different version.

I think for most it's how he said it not what he said. Being a duck rustles jimmies. Who knew?
But he didn't because they aren't underpowered consoles
And I'm pretty sure PC devs make similar comments all the time and the threads don't blow up like this.
Underpowered is such a absurdist term these days

Campaign is decent with a few moments of greatness. Multiplayer is a massive downgrade though.
As someone who both loves Titanfall 2 and has a Switch preorder, I absolutely get where he's coming from. The Switch looks like it's going to be an incredible portable console, but I don't think it needs chopped up, watered down ports, and I don't imagine that such ports would fare super well anyway. The Switch isn't going to get every modern PS4/Xbox/PC game, and that's okay, because it can carve out its own space.
yeah, well your post smells like damp moss.

Yep.
Nintendo's brand image, typical marketing strategies, and software ecosystem attracts audiences that overwhelming reject games like Titanfall in favor of platformers, kart racers, and even party games (i.e Nintendo-like stuff).
Titan Fall would flop hard on the Switch regardless of how advanced the system was, the ecosystem just won't be conducive to it.
This is only a loss to the tiny irrelevant subset of enthusiast who really want to play Mario and a sci-fi military shooter on the same console.

It wasn't a gaffe, he wasn't being malicious at all.
I have already bought my switch and of course this is his response.. maybe not PC, but most devs... I imagine feel this way. Maybe they would say - hmm we have not looked into it.. or never say never...but same deal.
Why do a majority of us switch adopters act shocked when people don't take the platform seriously? It is way under powered and that is OK, but we are not getting 1:1 AAA support or multi plats because of it. The standard PS4 and Xbox`1 have issues running today's games at 1080/60...let alone the Switch.

Yeah. There's nothing particular about TF2 that would make it harder to port than TF1 to 360. TF2 is great with 60fps though.
Infinity Ward/Respawn has always looked down on Nintendo systems since the Wii days (I believe MW and MW3 ports to Wii were done by Treyarch) so not really a surprise.

I don't know man, we got a lot of people saying Titanfall 2 wasn't a commercial failure. Logic went out the window.

ITT Nintendo fanboys and Titanfall fanboys use the word "salt" liberally.
This reminded me that I still have to pick up Titanfall 2. I've only heard good things about the game itself.

Nintendo fans don't understand gettin' tipsy and talkin' freely despite being on camera because they aren't old enough to drink yet.

Eh, dude was drunk & spoke his mind in a pretty casual setting
Bad from a PR point of view, sure. But it just sounds like he's just been disappointed by the Switch so far - like a lot of people seem to be.
If you actually watch the video it's not as bad as it sounds from just reading the OP imo
As for people saying they won't be playing Titanfall because of this, c'mon now - it's not like the game was made by one dude. By all accounts it sounds like a great game, cannot fathom why you'd let a totally unrelated drunken comment from someone you didn't even know existed affect your decision to try it.

The "Nintendo fans" replies just come off as a quick and dirty way to disregard anything that person has to say. Can't say I'm that offended. I think it was unnecessary but it's not like he spreading lies or slander.
Uh, yes, so what ? Am I insulting him by saying his game bombed ?
Actually that was so people could stop quote me but I guess this narrative suits you more.
He did and then he changed the post when he was notified about his hypocrisy.
Nothing at all imo.

Thats the reason why Nintendo consoles will be the primary console for a dwindling few and a second console to some.
They will never recover significant market share based on ehat you state.

You're asking why someone with a red-tipped fauxhawk in the year 2017 is acting like a douche?
The fauxhawk is the fedora of haircuts.

It's EA. Jack skipped town already and shit is coming in the form of FIFA. Some ambitious multiplatform ports for switch will happen I think. No alternate parallel universe houses an EA that would be among the first to try though.
