So far it sounds like they are removing everything that made Titanfall cool and good and replacing it with BR and and "hero classes".

Pretty sure titanfall 3 is still in development guys I wouldn't be too worried if this isn't your bag. Hence the different name and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't feature the word "titanfall" anywhere near the branding. Something like this going over well can only be a good thing for Respawn and I trust them at this point.

Because EA wants to dip their toes in a overly saturated market (BR) where everything that enters at this point is doomed for failure and will be dead in a week, but hey, there's gold in them there hills.

I'd be surprised if this game manages to stay alive.

Very interested to see if they stick with one of the things that makes TF2 feel so drat good on console - 60 fps locked.

I guess Blackops 4 did it, but it looks like an N64 map compared to TF2 maps.

I don't agree with that at all. or at least the second part. For all of the BR oversaturation that people talk about, we have a whopping 3 of them so far (4 if you count H1Z1 which was made irrelevant by PUBG before most people had heard the term battle Royale. And obviously I'm not gonna bother counting Chinese PUBG mobile knockoff type stuff either) and the only one that has been F2P is Fortnite. Blackout is crazy popular and Respawn is a much better dev than Treyarch imo. If they could tap into the "BR but a competent shooter" market that Blackout is currently eating up, it could be huge. especially being F2P.

Also, I think Respawn would put much more of their own spin on the genre and do something half way original, vs COD, who just completely ripped PUBG off.

BLOPs actually doesn't look half bad for a BR game, but yeah expect a huge dip in visual fidelity from what you are used to in TF2 in their BR game. it's the nature of the beast.

Yeah, on consideration it's not that wild or left field that they did this, it's really only wild that they're dropping it in 2 days. It's a brave new world out there, folks, when you don't need a year of magazine articles and booth babes to hype your game and can just drop that poo poo without warning in the middle of winter.

My biggest concern is that it would get really big and they'd abandon the core series. Alternately, it's possible it could bring Titanfall to the unwashed masses and we get a bigger Titanfall 3 than we ever dreamed of. I want to believe the glass is half full.

I hope it's good and is popular. Respawn is a really great dev and they deserve better than the hand they've been dealt so far.

Awoo.


Titanfall without the movement mechanics or Titans is just Call of Duty with some unique weapons. And nothing about Battle Royale map design sounds like it'd mesh with what Titanfall is about.

It sounds like EA just wanted a Battle Royale game and DICE had enough pull that they were able to shuffle it off onto someone else.

I seriously hope none of the main Respawn team is spending time or effort on this, and it's just a B-team that got put under their wing when they were acquired by EA.

On the other hand, Respawn needs a win sales-wise, so the ideal for me is that this sells just well enough that we get a proper Titanfall 3 (if such a thing can even happen anymore).

It's confusing, because EA already has a Battle Royale coming out, and for that one you'll have to buy a game for it. Seems kinda self-sabotaging, but wouldn't be the first time.

I don't think this game would have even got as far as potential superbowl ad and flying streamers out for a secret event if it wasn't something special.

Like, where is BFV's BR mode? EA seems to have a lot of faith in respawn which is a good sign at this point in the game. If respawn can deliver two hits for EA in a year imagine what this could allow them to do for Titanfall 3. Imagine Respawn with DICE money. A successful BR game and a simply decent SW property game in one year could get them close.

I am gonna be the glass half full for all of you.

We have a whopping 3 that have stayed alive and remained insanely popular but there's fuckin' plenty; Fortnite, PUBG, Black Ops 4, Battlefield 5, Realm Royale, Battlerite, The Culling 2 (lol on this one), etc. There's even BR simulators on Steam and BR VR titles. The market is loving flooded with this poo poo like it was when everyone was making block-based building games and survival titles.

There is one very small brightside in this; If this is in Source, then Titanfall 3 might still well be too. This is the kind of quick-and-dirty project you'd normally see done as a "How does Frostbyte work :pseudo:" exercise.

It might not be, though. As far as I've heard, it's just Apex Legends. I guess we'll see if that's proceeded by "Titanfall presents" or some such, but Respawn has been speaking since the very beginning about taking their world into other styles of games and even into other mediums.

Yeah, this argument falls a bit flat because the Titans are the most recognizable part of the world thus far, but I'm interested to see Respawn stretch out. :shrug:

I vehemently dislike everything about Battle Royale game design, and either this release tanks and there's never another TF game as a result, or it's a runaway success and they never make a traditional TF game. Or it's neither, and it makes solid Cashola and they don't care either way. Making a F2P battle Royale is a death knell.

If this is Titanfall Battle Royale with wall running and everything then I am so sold, every time i tried Blops 4 Blackout, I thought "This would be 100x more fun if it was actually Titanfall" but I didn't in my wildest dreams think that EA would be smart enough to make that happen. I am fine with no titans as that would definitely gently caress the balancing up badly. Bring on Monday and lets hope that for once EA actually knows what its doing.

I love the titan stuff as set dressing and change of pace during a match, and I love that the mix of titans and pilots creates a sense of scale that no other game has, but the pilot gameplay is more engaging to me on a moment to moment basis, and I rather like PvP. The parkour is just too good, so echoing the dude two posts above.

TF “grunt edition” could be cool as hell, even in a BR format. Pilots and Titians roam around as AI super bosses, while you and other shittty little grunts try to kill them.

However, I don’t think that is what we are getting. I guess we will find out soon.
