Gamespot Titanfall hands on - 'the happiest he's ever looked playing a game'

Link to YouToob because Gamespot's video player is a pile of balls


I dunno what it is about this game, because to me it looks run of the mill as it gets, but IGN posted a ridiculously over-hyped drooling preview of it earlier, and now Gamespot have just done the same. There's not really any new information to be had from the video, just Danny O'Whatshisface talking about how much he enjoyed playing the game. The takeaway message is very similar to IGN's; they're fawning all over it.


Titanfall might be one to watch. I bet Microsoft are raging it's not a launch game.

Paid to say that...

Nah, have no idea why people like this. probably because it's like cod, everybody likes that game.

Has any COD this gen received bad reviews?

Because that would explain why they love it and I find it utterly uninspired.

usually when people are playing games theyre concentrating on it, i rarely see people look happy as theyre actively playing the game.

Do you want me to tell you why? Because Call of Duty is a FPS that does not require any skill to be a good player. In one week I already placed myself on the top 3 of the match scoreboards everytime. The other FPSs are just too hard for people so they give up. Recently I have been playing BF3 and let me tell you if there is a game that copies war exactly as it is it's Battlefield, the multi-player is also very good but different from CoD. You will die a lot before you start playing well, and CoD fanboys don't stand to die.

Fair enough and I probably should'nt have written my post like that.

I think this niché in the fps genre is very much love/hate.

I also laughed when i played Big Rigs.

The Gamescom demo looked too similar to the E3 one, aside from the exiting the map at the end. Sure it may feel exciting the first time you play it but remember, many Halo fans who played Halo 4 before it launched loved it yet hated it once they finally bought the game.TheDidact

DEAL

"There is a question that has seduced us for years: what would a Miyamoto FPS feel like? The answer is Titanfall."

WITH

'At every video games exhibition or conference there is always a game that is like Breaking Bad, in that those who have seen it won't shut up about it. At Gamescom 2013 in Cologne, Germany, that game is Titanfall."

IT

" I know I read your mind after the first match, when we looked away from our monitors and grinned at each other like idiots: This is something special."

HATERS

:cool:

I don't know why it's so hard for some to believe this game could be fun.lamprey263

Xbox One Day One and with cloud powah baby :P

Now if only it had a full fledged SP campaign :?

So far it looks stellar and I can't stand COD. Everyone that I've read that have played it says it's a blast. I guess MS has a winner on it's hands.

Bring on that hater brigade with gallons of haterade.

People treated MW like the second coming, and for good reason. And no, it wasn't a two week affair. People were hooked on that for months. Fact. The problem with CoD was that MW2 and onwards, there was a lack of change and innovation and after a while it became stalel (incidently enough, after the majority ot IW left and set up Respawn).

People who have played Titanfall are having the same reactions and giving the same impressions they got from MW.

And its not as if you're just posting your own opinion on how you might not like it. You're in EVERY titanfall thread calling it a CoD clone :lol: your butthurt has no limit

I think I'd personally be more excited for this game if it had a SP campaign.

Is this GOTY candidate on the ps4?

I just don't see what is supposed to be so amazing about this game.

[QUOTE="lamprey263"]I don't know why it's so hard for some to believe this game could be fun.RR360DD

It does look like a fun game.

I'll get it on my PC next year, when it finally comes out.

Not at launch.

It's on the PC, XB1 and the Xbox 360 until the timed exclusivity contract runs out.

Most likely, it'll be on the PS4 by the end of 2014 because Respawn isn't dumb enough to simply ignore the humongous worldwide PS4 installed base just to make Microsoft happy.

Matter of fact, when it does eventually come to the PS4, it'll most likely include whatever DLC content they made for it up to that poitn also.

Interesting

What once looked like CoD with Mechs could now actually turn out good

So far it looks stellar and I can't stand COD. Everyone that I've read that have played it says it's a blast. I guess MS has a winner on it's hands.

You will die a lot before you start playing well, and CoD fanboys don't stand to die.

that actually means its more knowledge based than skill based. reflexes and aim are skills that more or less translate across all fps titles.

for instance someone with good gun skills will be able to walk into any skill based shooter and do fairly well. its the knowledge based shooters that dont emphasize skill that have a steep learning curve.

i know when i first started playing cod despite having superior gunskill to most players i was losing alot of gun battles up until i learned all the headglitch/hiding/camp spots and where to expect people.

if bf has an even steeper learning curve that just means its even less skill based and more knowledge based than cod.

EDIT: well i guess technically for someone generally bad at shooters, skill based shooters would take much longer to adjust to over knowledge based ones. so if you are bad at shooters in general and you found cod easy that could be an argument for it requiring no skill. however if you are generally good at shooters and you found cod easy to adjust to, that just reinforces it as having skill based gameplay.

Cows today: It's run of the mill, it's ugly, it's generic, people were paid to say that.

IF TitanFall is ever released on PS4: Cows: OMFG! TLHBO! We get to play TitanFall! What a gread day!

:roll:

Considering the starting line-up for both consoles I don't see why anyone would pick up a PS4 at launch.  I am picking both up within a year, but XB1 gets my money first.  

It's about the games.

Surprise surprise gamespot (the media website that had a promo event for Battlefield 3 with EA) really likes EA's new game.

I'm not saying Danny is currupt or paid off. But it seems about 99% that way.
