Not happening. Maybe in Tf3. AL is it's own thing, regardless of its affiliation with the lore.

So, Titan Mode is just as likely as TF3, right now. :shrug:

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
Yeah I doubt Respawn can sustain Apex Legends and the Star Wars game plus another major project. Every time you read stories about game studios collapsing, there's invariably some 'second project' that they end up scrapping when they realize they need all hands on deck for the current game. It sounds like they scrapped a quick TF3 on Source, so the whole thing needs to be redone on a new engine, which is not a quick or simple task.

If they have any plans for TF3 it's far on the back burner.

The work they were doing for TF3 in Source pivoted into AL, and TF3 shifted to next gen. Even Zampella has said that the teams are separate.

There are at least 3 teams within Respawn atm.

"There are some people who think there are too many battle royale games or it's a fad, the world thinks we're making Titanfall 3 and we're not - this is what we're making.

Fans of Titanfall are upset about this, so they put out some vague statement out today about how they're "working on more Titanfall" in a tweet. How is that not damage control, for their fans that were specifically upset about them saying that they stopped making Titanfall 3?

Edit: And you know, to be clear, it being obvious damage control doesn't mean we're accusing them of lying. Just trying to control the damage they did to the trust they had developed with their community. Of course, you seem really prone to jumping to conclusions, so don't let me get in the way of your being upset other people have different opinions from you.

Yea for real. like... just go post in the apex thread. Unironically using “reeee” to characterize people’s complaints? What is this, insane people fb political memes?

Like, I feel like most the tf2 fans are fairly reasonable in their criticism; a few have even tried the game and admit it’s well made despite the lack of “titanfall-feel”. Just use this thread to talk about titanfall and use the apex thread to talk about apex.

Also I’m always looking for people to play titanfall 2 with.

I apologize for my post. It was pretty childish.

I'm still not sure why they have damaged any trust though. Was TF3 ever publically confirmed?

From the EA acquisition of Respawn:

https://news.ea.com/press-release/company-news/ea-acquire-respawn-entertainment

quote:

The acquisition builds on a successful publishing partnership between Respawn and EA, with multiple projects currently in development – a new title in the Titanfall franchise, a game set in the Star Wars™ universe and a VR gaming experience.

So not, like, explicitly Titanfall 3, but this was back in 2017 and there was no other reasonable way to interpret it.

That Apex is this good, despite allegedly being the salvaged remains of an abandoned Titanfall 3 which was scrapped when Respawn realized Source was holding it back, only strengthens my existing faith in Respawn and the eventual Titanfall 3.

Most people in the last few pages of this thread stopped talking about Tf2 two years ago so it's kind of funny that they all just showed up on the spot firstly to doomsay for 48 solid hours and when that had lead to nothing of substance to pretend like this thread is somehow hallowed ground again.

The reason why people originally brought the news to this thread was because the hype was ambiguous and sudden and no other part of the forums was paying attention. The success of AL, regardless of its origin or relation to Tf proper, will have an effect on Tf going forward, and I think that's worth discussing itt if people want to. If you don't like it then don't respond to it, but I don't see how it's a detriment when the thread was already dead except for a few of us still playing and posting.

Yeah, I'm sure Respawn isn't automatically assuming it will be a success though they seem confident in their product. A million people in 1 day with no prior marketing is nothing to sneaze at, and if that expands their base for future projects then great.

If AL is the lovely game needed to keep blood in the veins for future projects, then praise be to it. But with so much writing on the wall it's hard being optimistic, doubly so when EA is involved.

What exactly does it do a poor job communicating?

Teammates are chattering about vital stuff like non-stop, what other audio cues do you need? I would describe all of the hud stuff the opposite of sloppy. Seems quite polished actually.

I'm not talking about player interaction. I find it very hard to keep track of where enemies are via audio cues (footsteps, gunfire etc), which is traditionally super important in this type of game, and enemies also tend to blend into the very busy backgrounds way more than I'm used to. I just find it really hard to tell wtf is going on compared to other BR games.

The HUD stuff might be fine after you get used to it but I find it pretty confusing tbh.

I don't mind what they release or if they do lootboxes with Apex Legends. I kinda like it but I don't see myself playing it more than 20-30 mins a week tops.

I want Tit and fall 3 like everyone else but I'm not going to blame them if Apex prints money (or not) and we never get what we want because I'll have plenty of quality videogames so play.

What we can actually do is to play more Titanfall 2 in both PC and PS4! I'd love to play some F_D or whatever.
