EA to Bring New Titanfall Experiences to Players Worldwide

Could the publisher drop a titan on PS4?

by Sammy Barker Wed 7th May 2014

Speaking as part of a largely uneventful investors meeting – seriously, who knew that big numbers could be so darn uninteresting? – EA Games gaffer Andrew Wilson reiterated that the publisher has renewed its contract with Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment, and is planning to release new entries in the first-person franchise in the future.

“Through a new agreement with Vince Zampella and Respawn,” the Australian executive dulcetly declared, “we'll be able to bring new Titanfall experiences to players worldwide." Naturally, the suit didn’t explicitly outline where you’ll be able to play these fresh forays, but we’ll eat a mech if some kind of sequel doesn’t deploy on the PlayStation 4.

This year’s inaugural instalment skipped Sony’s systems due to a business arrangement between Microsoft and the mega corporation, but the developer later stressed that only the first entry would be exclusive to the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. It stands to reason that the series will be touching down on the Japanese giant’s black behemoth in the future, then. The question is: can you wait?

Oh, I can wait. Does this mean the series isn't plot-oriented? I wouldn't wanna start in the middle and miss stuff (I refuse to buy xboxone for resolution indeed)

For the sequel, I'm hoping there's an actual single-player campaign since they can just re-use their groundwork for multiplayer...or at least some other mode where I don't feel like I have to be on my A-game the entire time. Also, modes without those damn Titans.

Um, unless there is some kind of offline, single player campaign.... not interested. Just like Destiny. Oh, why oh why can't they include OFFLINE campaigns. Why must it be forced online, forced subscription? Ha, I think I just answered my own question.

Be nice to have the option to see what all the fuss is about, been ages since I've invested in an online only game (not since shadowrun on the 360) I don't usually opt for them but when online is good.....it's good

I really couldn't care less for this game, as I just want to have Planetside 2 finally on my PS4. So enjoyed it on PC and its leagues and miles better than any "Mech-COD" online shooter. My personal opinion!

Happy to wait. I am certainly curious, but not sold on titanfall. Much prefer story driven single player games. I enjoy the occasional multiplayer FPS, but generally get bored very quickly.

Nope Titanfall never interested me beyond an art/design point of view. I got a book of the artwork for the game as some of it's lovely, other than that XBone can keep it.

Haha it seems strange to me that the people who always say they're not interested in titanfall or they think it's stupid etc are ps4 owners that don't game on pc... now if that doesn't set off some alarms in your mind I don't know what to tell you. people's cognitive dissonance won't let them see any potential in a game if they can't play it on their platform of choice. then you have people like me who enjoy games, not consoles having lots of fun with titanfall AND games like second son.
