Well he's not wrong lol

 

[TLZ]

Just because someone is saying the truth doesn't mean his being a douchebag or dickish. It just means you don't like what he said because you're mostly being too defensive. He's in the gaming industry and knows what he sees and what he's talking about. Let the guy say his piece in peace.

Being salty, defensive and apologetic doesn't make you any better.

 

[humansarehorses]

It's not a formal interview or anything. The guy's just drinking and nonchalantly talking with other guys about the Switch.

So I think his attitude is fine but he's definitely not giving out some bullshit PR excuse you'd typically hear.

 

[Nameless]

No wonder AAA games quality is going down the shitter, devs care too much about game visuals and not enough about gameplay.

To say this in a thread about about one of the 2 or 3 playing/feeling games this generation is hilarious.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Titanfall 1 had a good port on 360. I wouldn't be surprised if Bluepoint could get TF2 running on the Switch.

Hmm... I should continue my playthrough of 2 on PC, it's a cool game.

 

[Falchion]

Damn, throwing some shade.

 

[Acquiescence]

I can't believe some people act so unhinged under the influence of a few alcoholic beverages. I just can't fathom it. And now because of what he said, he's made a lot of enemies for life. I hope it was worth the slanderous talk for a few free drinks, you jackass. This video will haunt you for years.

 

[jeenaudx]

Titanfall is a dead franchise, I never said the games were bad.

 

[Bronetta]

thank god tf 2 tanked

fuck this kind of behavior

TF2 tanked? Nintendo fans really are delusional lol

 

[Symphonic]

This is the most NeoGAF-y thread I've read in ages.

 

[Ray Down]

thank god tf 2 tanked

fuck this kind of behavior

This is just sad.

 

[NeroAngelo]

TIL that some people honestly expect the Switch to get a ton of 3rd Party ports. Huh

 

[carlsojo]

TBH I doubt the Switcher-U could handle any modern shooter much less Titanfall 2.

 

[Psychoward]

Well like him its a straight answer. His game did bomb. Straight talk.

He wasn't even bragging about the sales though.


It was an irrelevant jab used defensively because people still don't realize the Switch is underpowered.

 

[Already Torn]

TF2 tanked? Nintendo fans really are delusional lol

Um

Even the developers say it tanked.

It tanked.

 

[Newtype-001]

thank god tf 2 tanked

fuck this kind of behavior

How much did he hurt you on a scale of 1-10

 

[OnionPowder]

Jesus at some answers here. Saying that his behavior is rude (even in the context of a drunk video, which is even more stupid than what he said), and you have everyone claiming "muh salty Nintendrones !!" ? I maybe should have forced myself to think this is funny, or innocent ?

What is this, GameFAQs ?

thank god tf 2 tanked

fuck this kind of behavior

.

 

[GitarooMan]

Someone should tweet DICE devs and ask if Battlefield 1 is coming to the Switch. We could have a string of these threads.

 

[Harlock]

The guy is just making a harmless joke. Dont overreact and hunt him with torchs.

 

[Malice215]

Throwing some salt on the Switch is a great way to remind people that Titanfall still exists.

 

[nOoblet16]

No. Fuck no. hahahaha *points to Titanfall 1 DF article trailer* That's the same Titanfall on the Xbox 360. hahahahaha

When I eventually buy TF2 it'll be on PC and I'm buying the Switch for Nintendo games and indies so I don't really have any horse in this race. Just thought I'd take a jab at him using a cross-gen title as the main determining factor for a platform's power.

Except we aren't really talking about Titanfall 1 here now are we?

 

[Mpl90]

What you said isn't a transcript tho...?

Mohammad Alavi: ...I was excited about it. Nintendo's been in such a niche market recently, catering to the handheld and the kids, they've been so underpowered that they don't have the support of the third parties because they're all making for the PC, Xbox One and PS4, and it's no different.
Micha: I am going to drink to it mainly because, I understand. It will be underpowered. I'm not going to be play Titanfall on it. Like, can you tell me?
Mohammad: Fuck no! No, you're not going to be able to fit Titanfall 2 on the Nintendo Switch. That's the same Zelda from the Wii U?

After plenty of drinking, mind you. The designer is joking about the idea that you can fit the Titanfall 2 in a Nintendo Switch game card, one that can fit up to 25 GB of data. Titanfall 2 is 42 GB on the Xbox One, at least.

Can't wait to see how many people didn't watch the clip and just believe the OP because he twisted the words around to make him look even worse!

That's...even more relaxed and with less substance than I thought. Why is this a thread, again.

 

[YuriLowell]

Titanfall is dead.

Respawn will probably be making Star Wars games for forever.

 

[Metal B]

There are more post about people, talking about salty Nintendo-Fans and bashing Nintendo, then actually post being unreasonable angry at the guy.

 

[btrboyev]

TF2 tanked? Nintendo fans really are delusional lol

Nintendo fan or not..it sold poorly. Especially for being in PS4 this time as well.

 

[EL CUCO]

For all we know, he could be laughing at the absurd requirement for a separate app to get the matchmaking to work.

I mean, apart from being underpowered and all.

 

[Principate]

Um, but TItanfall 2 probably can't run on a Switch with its current level of fidelity. Not shocking?

It probably can. it's a source game and the first one could run on a toaster. Even this second doesn't seem that demanding. They just can't be bothered. (which I can understand).

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I can't believe some people act so unhinged under the influence of a few alcoholic beverages. I just can't fathom it. And now because of what he said, he's made a lot of enemies for life. I hope it was worth the slanderous talk for a few free drinks, you jackass. This video will haunt you for years.

"enemies" "slanderous"

man some of you are so touchy lol

gottem

 

[Braag]

He could've said it in a less dickish way but I'm sure there's a good reason why it's not coming to the Switch and this guy doesn't actually have something against Nintendo (since I highly doubt he alone has made that decision).
Also I've heard nothing but great things about TF2 despite it not selling well thanks to EAs scheduling. Odd how all of a sudden everyone's shitting on the game.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Switch has no need for dead franchises anyway.

or any franchises, it seems.

 

[Ray Down]

How much did he hurt you on a scale of 1-10

10 clearly.

 

[brochiller]

"Will people buy Titanfall 2?"

"No HAHA HAHA!"

 

[Raptor]

Given Titanfall 2's multiplayer, Switch owners aren't missing out on much.

Given TF2 SP Switch owners will be missing the best SP campaign of the last 20 years.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

He sounded like he was a bit gutted after the reveal and would have liked to have TF2 on the Switch but he cant, due to the hardware. He was also on a YouTube show about getting drunk and talking about games.

I don't think this deserves a witch hunt or personal attacks.

 

[shandy706]

Titanfall 1 ran on 360 with a lot less RAM than the switch, and was more complicsted in many ways than TF2.

Switch could run TF2 fine, albeit with worse graphical fidelity.

That would be a no.

I'm thinking you probably didn't play it?

Also, they did NOT port Titanfall 2 to the 360....so they're not going to port 2 for a Switch release. That would make ZERO sense.

I'd love to have TF2 on the switch at launch...but it makes no sense to even think it would be there.

 

[Servbot24]

Why so dickish?

What's dickish? They're talking about a piece of plastic, not a person.

 

[SRTtoZ]

oh hes drunk? nm

 

[double0cinco]

That was pretty immature. I'm pretty sure zelda will be a more fun and more immersive game than Titanfall could ever hope to be. It's not like Titanfall is even all that technically impressive anyways.

 

[Blastoise]

ooooffhh. NintendoGAF took this one to heart.

 

[Crosby87]

LOL Nintendo Switch

 

[Claude Augario]

"People are personally offended by this thread."

Why else do you think this thread was posted? No one ever expected Titanfall 2 to come to Switch (let alone a Titanfall 3 existing). Of all the questions surrounding the Switch, whether it would get Titanfall 2 or not was never one of them.

It was hard to make out what they were saying through the mumbling so I abbreviated the convo a bit. I'll sub in your translation for mine in the OP.

 

[zewone]

Why not? Game doesn't look that technically advance IMO plus didn't titanfall 1 also run on 360? I'm sure they could get it running at 720p on the switch maybe, but who knows

DQ Heroes 2 looks really bad compared to the PS4 version and it runs at 30fps instead of 60fps.

Maybe they could get TF2 working at 720p and 30fps, but it's probably pretty far from their original vision.

 

[SirClinksAlot]

If he was telling it like it is, he would have said that there won't be a port because nobody bought the game.


Exactly

You dont want to play a great game like TF2 because a dev answered a question? Jesus get out of Nintendos ass.

 

[Bronetta]

Um

Even the developers say it tanked.

It tanked.

Link to that? It was the 4th best selling title in November's NPD after CoD, BF1, and Pokemon.

 

[Oersted]

The sad part is this is the view of most western third party studios. Infinity Ward, DICE, them, they all disdain Nintendo. They all see them as a toymaker, a game company only makes colorful, graphically not needy games. But it's their time now. Well maybe not specifically for Respawn's but all FPS makers generally. If you miss their games, it'd be harder for your platform to hit even 15m mark.

I do would love to see these companies have the courage to deliver "colourful" games or games without the pretense of maturity.

Oh well.

 

[Nokagi]

Nintendo fanboys seriously frighten me. I mean some of these posts..

 

[Psychoward]

He sounded like he was a bit gutted after the reveal and would have like to have TF2 on the Switch but he cant. He was also on a YouTube show about getting drunk and talking about games.

bingo

but let's call him a douchebag, insult his hair and brag about his game bombing

 

[Parham]

Poe's law in full effect here.

 

[Kimawolf]

It was an irrelevant jab used defensively because people still don't realize the Switch is underpowered.

which is what boggles peoples minds. If you know your game, while great, basically limped out the gates and died in the opening weeks, why try to down someone else when your shit obviously isn't in order? It's liek a guy going bankrupt laughing at the dude who lost just out on a investment.
