XBoxOne Discussion - New XBox Console

I haven't gotten Rivals yet. I don't think the NFS games are as polished as Forza but they're fun to mess around with.

The resolution difference between the consoles isn't very noticeable even when side by side but the fps difference is.

As for Titanfall, SCEE manager Alex Moyet has stated it' will be on the PS4 as well which confirms the leaked info from the developer saying that Titanfall is a timed exclusive.

Just wanted to comment on this, unfortunately this Titanfall coming out for X1 will never come to PS4. Microsoft bought the rights to the first Titanfall. The next one is up in the air though. But the real question is if Titanfall really does turn out to be the system seller it is said to be will microsoft purchase the entire IP

Need for Speed is a fantastic game IF you like arcade style racing

Sorry but I'll take the word of the developer of the game it self and Sony over you. We don't know what kind of deal they made with MS that will allow them to but when two parties involved agree with each and say it's going to be on another system eventually, it's going to be. Wouldn't be the first time an exclusive turned out to be a timed exclusive and appeared on other consoles a year later.

As for MS buying the IP, won't happen. The developer has already expressed deep hatred towards EA and MS in regards to the above decision and would rather retire the IP than let MS keep it just for themselves.

Several people are reporting the opposite of what you said. Not sure how factual they are or even if they are correct but here is an exert from a tech magazine. From what I am reading it sounds like it could be the way Mass Effect was handled.

During a recent earnings call, Blake J. Jorgensen, CFO of Titanfall publisher Electronics Arts, reconfirmed that the sci-fi first-person shooter will remain exclusive for Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC indefinitely.

"In the case of Titanfall, it's a brand new IP," said Jorgensen, "and it's exclusive only, for the life of the title, on Xbox One and Xbox 360 and PCs."

Respawn owns the IP so they most likely will not sell it. The dev team was not happy with EAs decision since they based a lot of their decisions off of the PS3 which is obviously the most risky to develop for.

What's Kotaku?

Really guys....we are arguing about titanfall? Im telling the truth....IIll give you 5 DIFFERENT websites and even a tweet from zampella the CEO of respawn. He was dissappointed that Titanfall wasnt going to come to PS4. EA selling the first in the series to Microsoft was news to even him.

What people are hoping for is that the NEXT Titanfall that comes out is for both systems. The Titanfall coming out in March will never be on PS$ unfortunately. Ill gather up proof and post it here

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.

Depends what games do you like? Personally I don't think you can go wrong with Forza or Black Flag. I have heard good things about dead rising just not my type of game.
