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

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

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.

@WingChopMasta @Sevenizz I agree his definition of gamer is off, but why are you even commenting here if you're not interested in the game? :s

Oh no, confusion about what information would be revealed! That clearly deserves a news article on this sham site.

@MateykoSlam Creative. Did you stay up all night trying to come up with that one, or were you born with such brilliance?

@MateykoSlam cue the PS4 fanboys. Who like to bitch about stuff for no reason. Sorry you chose the PS4, not my problem. Titan-Envy is gonna reign supreme come Tuesday and your comment is just the start. Rage away, I'll be playing Titan Fall while you bitch on the forums and the real funny thing is it'll end up on PS4 eventually where people like you who trash it now will be jonesing for for it. :) peace.

How about explaining to people what's actually in the $60 game you've been telling people to preorder for the last 6 months, that might be worthwhile.

Will we hear anything about the other versions of Titanfall in the review or just the Xbox One version?

@barrybarryk There have been tons of leaked information posted on every gaming site, and some videos on youtube. And there was a week long beta on PC and Xbox One, I'm sure you can find some stuff.

If you aren't at least a little bit excited about this game, then you should stop calling yourself a gamer.

@Sevenizz But I dislike multiplayer shooters because I suck at them.

It just stresses me out. I rather play co-op things.

@Sevenizz if you are excited about a generic FPS then you should stop calling yourself a gamer.

Titanfall may just be another shooter to you - but it's not generic.

@Sevenizz I don't play consolized First Person Shooters.


I'm confused, when did having to like inferior shooters become a requirement of being a gamer?

@Sevenizz Really? Because 'Gamer' means dudebro twitch shooters designed very similar to another game that single handedly over saturated an entire market? Sorry, I like a little strategy in my shooters. You can enjoy your ADD babysitter extreme edition.


Still looks fun, but not even close to a genre defining game at all.

''Did not sell Titanfall to Microsoft''? I'm still holding out hope that the sequels will come to PS4 someday!

@robertcain

If it sells well, they'd be utterly foolish to keep the inevitable sequel off all the PS4.

@robertcain Probably, Respawn already mentioned that they would really like this. Could be depending on the amount of Xbox One's, Titanfall will sell, the more, the higher the chances Microsoft throws a shitload of money at them to keep it exclusive.

@FastRobby @robertcain The money microsoft has to pay them has to be more than the amount of copies they would sell on a playstation. So i bet Titanfall will eventually come to PS4 before a sequel even comes out.
