I got lazy after these 3, if you want to find more sources google it. It was all over the internet a couple of months ago. If your waiting for titanfall for the PS4 youll have to wait for the second installment of it. And that's if MS doesnt buy the whole IP.

EA's the one you want to talk to, says Zampella.

If you've been following Titanfall, then you know that the giant mecha shoot-em-up is a Microsoft exclusive, for PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. No, that isn't a six-month-only deal; it's in perpetuity, which many have taken to mean is Microsoft's way of making sure rival Sony didn't get its mitts on what Microsoft sees as a flagship title. But it takes two to make a dream so real, the publisher and the developer, and Respawn Entertainment's Vince Zampella has taken to Twitter to point the finger at the villain of the piece: EA.

"Always exclusive at launch," Tweets Zampella, "great partner and focus is good for a startup. EA made a deal for the rest, we only found out recently. =(" Zampella also confirmed that the deal was only good for the first game, implying that future falling Titans, or whatever else Respawn chooses to make, might be found on Sony's console. Zampella went on to imply that, in his view, longevity of the Titanfall franchise was harmed by not having it on PS4.

As far as Zampella's concerned, Respawn's main focus right now is to make sure Titanfall is the very best it can be, and any distractions are being ignored. Titanfall's due March 2014, and you don't need me to tell you what platforms it's appearing on.

Earlier today, EA ‘confirmed’ that Titanfall would be an Xbox/PC exclusive “for the lifetime of the title.”

Fans of both Microsoft and Sony were perplexed at the wording of the statement. Why not just say exclusive? Why use that phrasing at all? As it turns out, they had a legitimate reason to use roundabout wording.

Users took to Twitter to seek clarification regarding this latest statement, finding and questioning Co-Founder of Respawn Entertainment Vince Zampella. When asked if the exclusivity pertained to the series as a whole or just this first release, Zampella came back with a very simple, straight forward reply: “Just this release.“

Unless EA comes out with another surprising announcement, this is fantastic news for fans of Titanfall who weren’t planning on buying an Xbox One/360 or don’t own a PC capable of running it.

Unfortunately, it also begs the question: was this deal always in place? Did EA spin their words to make it sound like a long-term exclusive while it never was? Or did Respawn change EA’s against their will, granting future PlayStation 4 owners a chance to play the next title in the series?

Either way, this news is fantastic for gamers of both consoles, because it seems everything is finally out in the open.

Update: Respawn's Vince Zampella tweeted in response to this news, "Always MS exclusive at launch, great partner and focus is good for a startup. EA made a deal for the rest, we only found out recently =("


Indeed, it sounds like Titanfall as a debut game will remain a Microsoft-platform exclusive, but the future of the franchise -- once Respawn is no longer a "startup" -- may make its way to PS4. The studio head added, "Of course we will [make PlayStation 4 games], just not the first Titanfall."

There you have it. Titanfall 1, not coming to PS4. Sequels? Totally possible. "Exclusive at launch," mind, refers to the first game, and not the future of the series.

During its quarterly earnings call today, EA squashed recent rumors about Titanfall coming to PlayStation 4. CFO Blake Jorgensen emphasized that Titanfall "is exclusive only for the lifetime of the title on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC."

Jorgensen also assuaged worries that Respawn was rushing Titanfall to market, declaring the intended release date was always in the March, April, May time frame. "No, we're not doing that at all," COO Peter Moore said on the subject of Titanfall's alleged hurry. He praised Respawn Entertainment's talent, and anticipates it will review "very highly" when it launches in March 2014.
