New Titanfall 2 Trailer Focuses on the Bond Between Man and Machine

Titanfall 2 arrives later this month.

9 Comments

For the second time this week, EA has released a new trailer for Titanfall 2 that focuses on the game's single-player campaign.

This new "vision" trailer sees Respawn director Steve Fukuda and others discussing the campaign and, in some cases, talking about specific plot points. As such, you may want to avoid this video if you're hoping to play Titanfall 2 with fresh eyes.

Now Playing: Titanfall 2: Single Player Story Vision Trailer

As announced previously, Titanfall 2's story follows the human character Jack and a Titan called BT. Respawn is really playing up the fact that they will need to fight together to survive; a previous trailer used a cover of Beatles classic, "Come Together," to hammer home this point even more.

"The bond between Jack and BT was one of those 'ah-ha' moments in development," senior game designer Chris Dionne says in the video.

There is also a dialogue option in Titanfall 2 where you can respond to things BT says in different ways. In the example provided in the video, the player can poke fun at something BT said or offer a more serious response.

The other Titanfall 2 single-player story trailer released this week showed off how the game will have big action set-piece moments as well as more low-key sequences.

The first Titanfall did not have a single-player campaign, which was one of the main points of discussion about it.

"Titanfall 2's single-player is crafted to dive deeper into the Titanfall universe, exploring the unique bonds between Pilot and Titan, and taking full advantage of the movement and combat, to deliver a feeling a feeling of being unstoppable together," EA's Devin Bennett previously said.

Respawn has talked in the past about how Titanfall 2's story was inspired by buddy cop movies, as well as films that explored the relationship between man and machine like Terminator 2.

Titanfall 2 launches on October 28 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. If you're planning to play on PC, you can see Titanfall 2's system requirements and graphics settings here.

Played the Beta and it didn't seem as good as if something was missing .. I loved the first games multiplayer and I hope that the Single player element hasn't taken away what made Titanfall great !!

After playing the beta this game seems to be a major letdown. They completely watered down the gameplay and made it too generic.

@iammcgruber: And I absolutely hate the getting into the titan animations. Before it felt cool because it was all in first person and actually made you feel like you were truly being loaded. Now, it just looks like a lame cut scene that truly interrupts the flow of the gameplay.
