[Tsundere]

lol, moneyhat confirmed. #CBOAT redeemed.

 

[Massa]

Why can't EA just become a mobile-only publisher already.

 

[kenta]

Wait, who owns the IP in an EA Partners deal? This seems pretty raw

 

[Dinda]

Your own fault. What did you expect when partnering with Microsoft and EA?

 

[-COOLIO-]

yeah

weird

The man has awesome balls.

 

[Can Crusher]

Lol told ya this was worse news for Respawn than it was for PS4 owners. EA picking the wrong horse, cutting Respawn's aspirations in half. Also tells me that EA is putting Battlefield as a much bigger priority for them than Titanfall.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Man Microsoft must have given EA a shit ton of money for this to be fully exclusive. Gotta wonder if it will end up being worth it in the end.

 

[FStop7]

So Ti2nfall to PS4?

 

[Kemal86]

Wow, usually don't get that kind of candid response.

 

[Dibbz]

wow that's rough.

 

[Racer1977]

Oh man, did he just confirm Titanfall 2 for PS4?

 

[Dicer]

Else it would have came to WiiU . I am sure he is all upset that, that he can't port it to 3DS and WiiU.

What kind of drive by shit trolling is this?

OT: Shady shit EA, but expected

 

[BigJonsson]

Is he trying to get fired by tweeting that?

 

[Sum-Mischief]

Well they should make good MS money no question. Just will miss out on maybe millions of buyers not going to Xbone, or have a decent PC.

 

[Zaph]

I'm very surprised Zampella and West couldn't negotiate a better publishing deal which gave them more control over these things.

Or maybe they could, but didn't care about platforms as long as they could make the game they wanted.

 

[Prelude.]

Shocking news: EA is EA

 

[DoomGyver]

You would of thought EA would have learned something from the InfinityWard/Activision debacle. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

 

[Fruitster]

Activision to EA. Very much out of the frying pan into the fire.

 

[ciridesu]

Props to Zampella for bringing it to public.

God EA just doesn't give up do they. This reflects terribly on them.

 

[Ricerocket]

They never denied a Sony version before today so most assumed moneyhat happened and this just sums it up.

 

[alr1ght]

Well there you go.

Cboat redeemed
Deal was recent
Titanfall 2 coming to all platforms

 

[SpudBud]

CBOAT vindicated.

 

[Gorillaz]

This is interesting, because doesn't EA partners allow the IP holder/dev freedom basically?

So wait how does EA partners work then if the person isn't in control of there IP? I thought EA just publishes it

 

[Zombie James]

 

[PuppetMaster]

Wow shots fired

 

[dreamfall]

Yipes.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Welcome to EA

 

[Elios83]

There you go, Titanfall 2 in 2015 for the PS4 confirmed.

CBoaT was telling the truth about 1 year exclusive.

Yup it was a timed exclusive.
Now it's a full exclusive on the first game. Zampella doesn't seem too happy about it especially about EA not being clear with them.

 

[Pop]

Well damn EA, what shady fucks. How much did Microsoft throw at them. First NFL license now this...geez

 

[jacobs34]

That's a bummer.

 

[SgtCobra]

I feel bad for Vince, getting screwed wherever he goes.

 

[Savitar]

They dealt with EA....you know how that goes.


But damn he's pissed.

 

[chubigans]

Confirmed that it was only a one game deal:

 

[Rich!]

Yeah... Fuck EA and Microsoft then. I'm not really against exclusives period, but I'd rather it be more for taking advantage of a system's unique strengths or as a matter of practicality, not some money hatting shit that isn't really done with those two in mind, doubly so when they're circumventing the original developer that's supposed to own the IP.

Will be funny if they find a loophole and abuse it though, like an updated version of the game.

what, like:

 

[Doffen]

He's alluded that Titanfall 2 will be on PS4.

He better find a new publisher. Because when EA got power to do this now, what is stopping them next time?

 

[NateDrake]

Is he trying to get fired by tweeting that?

Fired by who? His own company?

 

[golem]

Should have kickstarted it..

 

[darkside31337]

Is he trying to get fired by tweeting that?

Uh who is going to fire him?

 

[mitch1971]

Time to throw all those ps4 assets into cold storage, Vince.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Damn..This stuff is so weird lately!

 

[Skeff]

Is he trying to get fired by tweeting that?

They can't afford to fire them or the "from the makers of CoD" thing goes away

 

[Mrbob]

That tweet confuses me. Zampella makes it seem like Respawn had no idea this was going to happen and he wasn't involved in these discussions.

 

[Neuromancer]

Is he making a sad face because it's exclusive or just because he didn't know until everyone else?

 

[Loudninja]

EA is so damn crappy.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Is he trying to get fired by tweeting that?

I'm pretty sure he owns the studio.

 

[Louis Cyphre]

Will the mood be the same if a high profile new project by a 3rd party ends up being exclusive on the PS4?

 

[Delusibeta]

And lo, CBOAT was correct.

"Was" being the important word in that previous sentence.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Zampalla leaving a company to gain independence just to have it challenged again.

Damn

You'd think with the COD debacle, he would have made a deal with EA that'd avoid this sort of stuff....

 

[Cipherr]

Umm, you go EA.

Fucking hell, he said that publicly?

wow

This, wow. That's some straight up fucking honesty there. I really appreciate it personally. Now the record is straight. If you want TF get a One.

 

[everyday math]

Well there's that.

I feel bad for him.

Edit:

Confirmed that it was only a one game deal:

Appreciate the honesty.
