Respawn Entertainment's - Titanfall

[DrywallDreams]

Wasn't the idea of a new game like CoD the reason everyone was watching Respawn? CoD is one of the best feeling shooters out there. It looks llike they made a better Brink with more Halo influence, then added the mechs because fuck it they look cool.

I think that's not necessarily true. At least not for a few people. I'm a big fan of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Call of Duty 1, and I think that the direction those franchises took after the original developers left went nowhere but downhill.

 

So when I read that a good chunk of the people who worked on each of those games originally (including Vince Zampella) went on to form a new studio to work on a new project, I was very excited to see what they could do. Something new, something innovative - but that was only wishful thinking. I'm more or less indifferent or maybe even against TitanFall now simply because it looks like a glorified later-day Call of Duty reskin after seeing some Alpha gameplay videos.

 

What are the arguments that it isn't a glorified Call of Duty reskin? That it has mechs? That it has jetpacks and wall running? Those thinly added layers of gameplay additions to the gunplay that resembles the later Call of Duty games were hardly innovative or "risky" to have done. This game was a safe bet from the start of development, and I would go so far to say that some people can easily mistake it as a new game in the Call of Duty franchise.

 

But, for the people who are big fans of the later Call of Duty games, I think this is going to be a definite buy for them. And I think that was the point from the beginning.

Titanfall pretty much looks like COD with mechs, people that are even remotely interested in FPS will buy it anyway

so while you idiots are crying and speculating and generally making fuck all sense, there was this:

looks like CoD, almost 100%. then you get the mech omg it's all gonna be so different! ..you just have a bigger gun and are taller.

 

top kek, blunder of the year?

 

That's pretty much what I expected it, they're keeping it close to their area of expertise, after all they created CoD, at least they're innovating it in some areas and spicing it up whereas CoD has been the same game since the beginning. It's no secret this is basically a CoD game with a lot of new stuff on top, and that's ok in my book! CoD is a great game, but after 7 iterations of the same game it got old, that's all. 

I'm actually really excited about this, I'm craving for a good shooter!

I think that a lot of valid points are made from different sides. But by now I feel there's a bit too much negativity surrounding the thread (which I'm partly responsible for as well with my EA bash) so let's stop that shall we? Jack agrees!

Watched the MP-gameplay video Rick linked in some post last page... oh man, that game's definitely like nu-COD (CODMW2 ->). And that's a bad thing. Seriously, the guy keeps firing full auto medium-long that range and getting hits on the enemy? Wow, really nice skill level right there you got Respawn. I kind of hoped they'd do something nice that requires at least some skill and is fun because of it (that you can be better than someone else), but they decided to do easy-money by making CoD-clone with mechs.. well, I don't even have to think about buying this game then.
