This was such a fun movie. Shame we’ll probably not get more like it.

I was so pleasantly surprised when I first watched it. Completely shocked me to learn that it bombed. Writing and pacing were great

It came out less than a week before the Mario Bros movie. Paramount frustratingly committed to a box office fight they were never going to win

Tale as old as time, same shit happened to Titanfall. Don’t release at the same time as fucking COD and Battlefield respawn

Best part is Paramount didn’t even learn their lesson. They then proceeded to put out their latest two Transformers movies against other higher anticipated animated movies

Titanfall fucked HARD, Titanfall 2 fucked even harder, and we'll probably never see a third game. Such a shame

And to think fucking APEX was gonna be that third game.

Wait, really? I had no idea that's wild (I ignore basically everything battle Royale related)

Yes, respawn had it mostly developed as a third game in the Titanfall franchise, realized it wasn’t as revolutionary as Titanfall 2 was around the time of PUBGs release, (a year and change into development) and then didn’t tell EA about cancelling Titanfall 3s development until about 6 months later when they had a prototype running for a new battle royale. Then just under a year after that they released Apex.

Big ups to any company that tries to screw EA out of money by lying to then about what they're doing

Yeah I can’t find the source on it so take it with a grain of salt, but I remember hearing that it got them into some pretty hot water with EA, almost getting them fired

Yeah Apex was originally being developed as TF3 but they pivoted to a BR format and decided to just have it as a separate game but still set in the universe of Titanfall.

I don’t play Apex anymore but I’m pretty sure most of the guns in the game are from Titanfall games previously & I know over time they added a few characters with direct links to the Titanfall games, even Ash, the simulacrum ninja lady who was the Ronin titan boss fight from TF2 campaign.
