Zampella clears up confusion about “the future of Titanfall” showcased at Austin launch event

“Not how I would have described it, but still fun.”

No Caption Provided

There was some confusion today about what new Titanfall information would be revealed at the game’s midnight launch event in Austin on Monday.

Speaking on Larry Hryb’s podcast, Major Nelson Radio, Senior Xbox Evangelist at Microsoft Jeff Rubenstein said that in addition to playing through maps we haven’t seen in the beta, the event, which will start at 11pm EST, will be “showcasing the future of Titanfall.”

“We don’t know what it is,” Hryb said. “They just came to us and said ‘we’re going to announce something.’”

Excited fans immediately took to Twitter, asking Respawn’s Vince Zampella what it means. “For those asking about the 'future of titanfall' announcement, I'm confused as to what that is,” Zampella said this morning. “We did not sell [Titanfall] to [Microsoft].”

An hour later, Zampella said that he talked to Geoff Keighley, and that it looks like the “‘future’ thing is just something fun. Not how I would have described it, but still fun.”

This week, Respawn confirmed that Titanfall would include a $25 season pass containing three packs, which include maps and "other content yet to be determined."

Whatever “the future of Titanfall” might refer to, you’ll be able to find out by watching Xbox’s Twitch channel, which will stream the event live.

For more on Titanfall, check out our previous coverage and GameSpot's interview with Zampella from our new show The Lobby below.

I'm not here to bash on Titanfall, but 60 dollars for a multiplayer only game, and if you love it, fork out another 25 dollars? Wow, sorry, Vince, but Evolve is getting my money!!!

If you're playing properly, you haven't got the time to look at texture resolution.

@enoughofthis Titanfall has never been about graphics, Infamous on the other hand is about graphics and they have fucked it up, it looks like crap.

@enoughofthis @nerdman67 @eternal_napalm 6v6 is fine. I hope they come out with a mode that has more players, but a mode with no titans. Honestly, it is enough going on with 6 titans, they dont need more players unless it is a pilot only mode

@Sevenizz I didn't suggest that all EA games are bad, and I don't think the complaints about them are at all silly. In fact I think they've done more than enough this generation to warrant caution when buying the games they release.


That's all besides the point though. It doesn't matter what company it is or what they do, you are no less stupid for ignoring the company you're buying from and just splurging money because you like the look of something.

Wonder how much money Microsoft is paying Gamespot for posting daily Titanfail X1 updates? You rarely see articles about the PC version.

So a multiplayer only game will run me up 60 dollars, and there is a 25 season, and if I don't buy the season pass, end the end it's about 100 dollars for a multiplayer only game, what will they think of next!?

My message to all PS users : Consider yourselves lucky. Being a PC gamer, I personally think Titanfall is one of the ugliest games. It's just a COD clone but with...wait for it.....TITANS! Micro$oft is trying to save the Xbone and Windows 8 with its release because they have no other way to save them. I'm more than sure reality will soon hit Micro$oft in the face, the game'll be a total failure. I have played the beta and the game's horrible. I'm soon buying myself a PS4 but I don't have enough cash right now..PC and PS is where all the gaming is. Peace!

I don't have a problem with EA - at all. I've read the complaints, and they're mostly silly.

I'd never shop at WalMart for similar reasons as you mentioned in terms of my conscious - but it's not like they have anything exclusive to worry about.

But depriving yourself or training yourself to believe every IP of theirs is bad is just stupid.

@Shango4 I own a PS4, and the resolution would be higher, but that's it, I'll hold out on Titanfall 2, XB1 gamers can have their multiplayer only game.

Well, given that the developer would remain the same, and the only differences this far between consoles is resolution and frame rate... it would have been exactly the same, gameplay-wise.

You buy Purity milk at Walmart, it remains the same as Purity milk at Kroger.

@Sevenizz The information they tell us about their game is useful in making a purchase. The massive beta was a better indicator that this game is seriously fun.

This game is going to kick so much ass. I have launch day all planned out already. I bet this game is so good that many of those who bash it will play it or a sequel and talk about how they have loved it from the beginning. So many hours of fun ass gaming ahead I just can't wait. WOOHOO!! go Respawn go Microsoft, you know you have a hit on your hands.

@MateykoSlam Love how people just assume they're using the same engine as CoD. It is Source, the same from Half-Life, Team Fortress and Portal. And if you don't like the game: fine. If you simply say it sucks, it's butthurt.

So the company that publishes the game influences your purchases over the actual game?

Sad...and stupid.

@Sevenizz That's.... the very basics of being a conscientious consumer. Don't buy from companies you don't trust/like/have had bad experiences with. You'd be a bigger idiot for ignoring who's selling you the product.
