What lesson, I am sure both companies and many publishers have made similar mistakes in the past quite often, the decision about Respawn came well before the console was released so how has it any bearing on them now becoming complacent due to a sales lead, which I would not agree with anyway.
Lesson: when the founders of one of the worlds best selling FPS franchises come to you to ask about making a PS4 version of a game don't show them the door and tell them to make a PS Vita version.
Is Sony being too complacent at the moment due to having a saless lead. We seem to be getting OS updates on XB1 every 3-4 weeks and already major announcements.
Could Sony miss a potentially great game like Titanfall again?0 -

Failsafe, explain to me what you think will happen with regard to Titanfall 2's release, after all you've alluded to. I'm really confused.
I am not talking about Titanfall 2
I am talking about any new game (IP) that has potential and backers with exceptional game sales records. Will Sony embrace them or show them the door?
Titanfall 2 will be multi-platform release without a doubt If it doesn't die before hand *snigger0 -

So Sony is getting complacent because they didn't secure one FPS game?
If I recall correctly, MS turned up heavy rain, most likely because it wasn't a shooter they'd have interest in.
Also Sony has been making big pushes with indie devs. MS is only now catching up in many regards, so I wouldn't call Sony being complacent if they're following their roadmap and it's MS who are flat-out correcting their mistakes and policies.
I never knew constant updates was a great thing. I remember before I got a PS3 and was looking into it how it was seen as such a negative from the xbox side the PS3 constantly has to update.0 -

Actually if you have read my earlier post you'll see I am talking about 2 topics. I have added a Topic 1 & 2 for you to catch up

Step 1: Declare you're developing a Military FP shooter
Step 2: Get moneyhatted by Microsoft
Step 3: ????
Step 4: PROFIT0 -

LMAO, are you serious..
The PS4 gets big updates every few weeks. I'm happy either way as it's doing what I want well, which is playing games.
I don't get the massive big deal with numerous updates with incremental features.
You seem to argue from the point of apps, updates and Titanfall in a repeating circle.
I'm all about the games myself, so don't care about the former two in all honesty.
I'd just like more games at the minute, and that'd go for MS too, not more apps and incremental updates. Large, beneficial updates are the ones I like.0 -

I've never played NBA Live 14 either, but I know I don't want to. :pac:2Mad2BeMad wrote: »you have to play a game to have an opinion that actually matters
your mixing hype up with media
only people hyping the game where the people who were promoting it (except for a few xbox fanboys who were using it in every argument)
the game is not a disappointment to the people still currently playing it
It may not be anything special but it sure is fun, easy to pick up and play for the casual gamers
but then again you wouldnt know that, you have not played it
I said as much in my last post. I'm sure it's a decent game but much more was expected of it by everyone because of the studio it came from.
They actually removed two playlists from PC because nobody was playing them. CTF and Pilot Hunter. There was 5 modes and a variety one apparently? The game only came out two months ago and they have had to remove two already because there simply isn't enough people playing the game. It might be good but I bet EA expected more. Therefore it is a disappointment.
http://www.titanfall.com/news/addressing-updates-to-pc-playlistsCTF and Pilot Hunter have not been widely used modes on the PC version. Players trying to access these modes had overlong wait times to find other users and it was making for a poor experience."0 -

You're absolutely entitled to say you have no interest in playing it. It's a different thing entirely, however, to say "it was hyped to the hills and it has disappointed. It might be decent, but it's nothing special like it was supposed to be." That's making a definitive statement on the quality of the game - one conditional 'might' excepted - having not played it yourself. Gaming is not a passive experience, and watching a stream cannot give you the same experience as actually playing it
A game exists to be played, after all, not watched.
In comparison, I've played 15-16 hours worth of Titanfall on the 360 and think it's fantastic fun - not a gamechanger (but then I never expected it to be), but a thoroughly enjoyable experience that I really look forward to dropping in to for a few games every day or two. I would not consider myself even remotely capable of being able to say the same thing if I had only watched a couple of videos of it. Other people have played and disliked or been disappointed Titanfall, and that's cool, they're entitled to that point of view based on their own time with the game. But I would like to think none of us are capable of issuing quality judgement on any game without having actually played it, especially one that has received just as much if not considerably more praise than it has moderate or negative responses.
As an aside, I also think it's troublesome to judge a game based on the hype, which is nothing more than a marketing construction that the gaming community is far too susceptible to. Much better to filter through all the pre-release nonsense & hyperbole and take the game on its own terms.0 -
