But won't Battlefield 1 press X and Titanfall its sales.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm good with it, but I'm getting CoD and TF2. Fuck that Battlefield 1 beta was boring.

 

[spindashing]

Reminded me of this too.

 

[Primethius]

Stale FPS genre?

Wrong gen to put that statement out in.

 

[Darknight]

I know COD SP campaigns get shit alot but Titanfall 2 i bet will be way shittier.

I mean from the looks of it the new COD is like the real Killzone 4 sequel everyone wanted from GG. Shadow Fall was pure garbage yet the trailer for the new COD looks amazing.

idk but maybe Respawn guy wish they could still work on some COD games. (lol)

 

[Chase17]

They kinda did with Titanfall though.

But now they are saying they are innovating it again just 2.5 years later.

It's just PR speak though. Not sure why it stuck out to me.

 

[Darryl M R]

Humility

 

[SillyJoe]

Titanfall needs the attention

 

[M.W.]

MW > TF

 

[Renekton]

MW > TF

What about IW

 

[Masterspeed]

and look who won that battle.

 

[TheRealTalker]

what is with that youtube channel?

and why does it annoy me with a subscribe notification when I am trying to find the said video?

and why is Geoff part of it?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Interesting because they made Titanfall 2 pretty much just like BLOPS 3

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm not sure which titanfall they're talking about. It sure ain't titanfall 2.

 

[bishoptl]

oh that did not turn out well

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I assume they figure this and Battlefield can coexist well enough and Titanfall can siphon off some sales from Call of duty. It might work out.

It probably doesn't need to sell gangbusters to justify it's existence.

It needs to do well to sustain a community like CoD and Battlefield and not dwindle after a year.

 

[Dark Ninja]

MAYBE if it didn't out come out around the same time as BF1 and COD it might have had a chance. But this game is basically getting sent out to die for no good reason.

 

[Kalentan]

EA legit believes that between BF1 and TF2, that they will kill CoD. In the end it's going to kill one of their own games. Very arrogant.

 

[B-Genius]

They really shouldn't be counting their chickens before they hatch

Hah, no one's counting chickens. It's a playful jab at best, an ice burn at worst.

 

[tearsintherain]

So... uh, what exactly did Titanfall 2 innovate? Titanfall 1, sure, I would agree it innovated a lot. T2 seemed to just wholesale copy a ton of stuff from COD, at least what I played in the alpha.

 

[Danis Saur]

Not even close, Respawn...

 

[Toparaman]

[Crazy Diamond]

*mutes @Titanfallgame*

 

[Gattsu25]

I'm guessing the Battleborn dev team really regretted that tweet when Overwatch scheduled their open beta to coincide with the Battleborn launch day.

 

[Kalentan]

As far as I know the parts they're touting as innovative for the SP is that it has dialogue choices with your AI companion and that the level design is very focused on the verticality of things.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

Ballsy move, will it pay off? Nope.

 

[RedRum]

I like it. Unfortunately, TF2 won't make a dent with IW/MW this year. No one is touching them this year for that alone.

 

[Creaking]

And here I was hoping for Titanfall 2 to replace Call of Duty for me this year. After the tech test, and following good showings from IW, I'm much more interested in Call of Duty. Part of this come from feeling that Call of Duty this year seems to be trying to recreate a lot of what made "real" Infinity Ward's titles so great back in the day. MWR is a really faithful recreation of CoD4, and IW itself looks like it's capturing some of the awesome excess of Modern Warfare 2.

Titanfall 2 felt really restrictive in terms of customization by comparison, even for an early test. And that's to say nothing of the map design and TTK. IW's beta is still to come, sure, but after TF2's tech test, It'd take a lot more to convince me to get it. Maybe way down the line.

 

[joebruin]

Get ready to delete that tweet when tf2 bombas

 

[Nokterian]

oh that did not turn out well

Yeah and now it is going free to play shocking isn't it?

Still despite being ex-infinity ward..you can't get behind CoD even with marketing and such CoD is still a monster in that regard.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Hah, no one's counting chickens. It's a playful jab at best, an ice burn at worst.

Thing is, I don't think it would be seen that way if they 'lose' though.

 

[TheSeks]

Yeah, because this type of Marketing has worked out so well in the past.

playful? i dunno. depends on whose perspective. i know its been years since mw2 but that divorce was pretty bad...

regardless...respawn can spin it either way depending on how this game sells. don't think activision would ever respond. tf2 is minor leagues.

 

[Forerunner]

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Looking forward to the CoD tweet when it sells double Titanfall

Respawn brought it on themselves.

 

[RiderKairuu]

I'm OK with them taking shots at IW. They're going to sell what they sell regardless though, hopefully it does well for them being on more consoles. Might as well talk some shit along the way.

 

[pizzacat]

Going after cod is so zzzzz

It's like trying to insult the Great Wall of china

It's so massive that there's nothing you can do really and it's a fucking wall

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I don't think you should be firing shots when you're sandwiched between BF1 and COD.

 

[Ghazi]

Pretty ironic considering their own old game is going to be what kills them this time around.

 

[Sintoid]

By the way... Am I wrong or the gameplay stream was just 30fps?

 

[Dominator]

Respawn must know that they are going to get annihilated by Call of Duty sales (and even Battlefield)...

I think the game is going to do ok, but not nearly the amount they probably could make in March/April of next year.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I keep going back and forth on Titanfall 2, loved the first one, meh on the demo.

I've got a preorder but can't help but think it'll sell nothing and be half price by Christmas.

 

[Noirulus]

That looked pretty average tbh.

 

[joebruin]

I keep hoping for a last minute delay.

"Due to player feedback and respawn wanting to put out the best game possible, tf2 has been delayed until March"

 

[Alienous]

Good luck with getting your ass stomped Titanfall.

 

[Discotheque]

day one baby. as soon as they announced attrition i was back in.

unfortunately will get murked by cod and battlefield 1 but i pray the player base is still a decent size for this one. moving from pc to ps4 because of this and i'd like to not get burned again.

So maybe it won't sell as many as the next CoD. Maybe there's still some bad blood.
Alls I know is, I haven't touched CoD (or a straight up multiplayer shooter) since Blops 2, and yet here I am with TF2 pre-ordered, after having been tickled pink by the tech test.

Plus, that Tweet gave me a sensible chuckle, so I feel like I'm "winning" for now.

I mean, clearly Respawn is the underdog here. My perspective is that it's just a bit of fun, but I can see how some may take it more seriously.

I think that's what I find funny about it. (I just hope it's self-aware.)
