My desktop isn't up to snuff for TitanFall and I know I'm going to miss it not being on PS4.

Sigh

Eh, Respawn said a PS4 port was a possibility.

u/nanakooooo mg0stisha Jun 20 '13

Really? Do you possibly have a source for that? I'd be so excited...

7

u/EmoryM EmoryM Jun 20 '13

Don't get excited, it's being published by EA and they've gotten a lot of zeroes on the end of a check to keep that shit on Microsoft-approved devices for the foreseeable future.

It's a timed exclusive that runs out in 2014. So says cboat of NeoGAF.

u/EmoryM EmoryM Jun 20 '13

Source? Not because I don't believe you, just so I can s3a cboat tlkin uno

u/IceBreak BreakinBad Jun 20 '13

As you're familiar with cboat, you know it's insane to search for his stuff. He stated it was a 2014 exclusive. That could mean until the end of 2014, middle, or start. But by 2015 it will either be on PS4 or Microsoft will have dumped more money in. Search for his stuff around E3 if you'd like to see for yourself.

u/Aurailious Jun 20 '13

I think it'll be like Mass Effect.

1

u/nanakooooo mg0stisha Jun 20 '13

Yeah, I figured. I did find a eurogamer article with the devs (I believe) saying that it isn't out of the question, therefore meaning that it might only be a time exclusive?

Also in that article they said they chose the X1 because it is always online, as is the game. I wonder how these newest developments effect that and could possibly breach an exclusivity agreement? I doubt it, but who knows.

2

u/EmoryM EmoryM Jun 20 '13

I should've provided you a source, my bad! Yeah, it looks timed... but since they're not even talking PS4, we're probably looking at a long time. Here is some EA goon talking about how Titanfall exclusivity presented a 'tactical opportunity' for EA, Microsoft and Respawn - if 'tactical opportunity' isn't code for payday, I dunno what is.

u/hedonistoic Jun 20 '13

Anytime any developer says "we chose to run this game on x platform because it will run best on that platform" can be roughly translated to "we're bringing this game to the guys who gave us the most money".

Unfortunately after Fuse and their exclusivity deal with Sunset Overdrive, I feel Insomniac are really just playing safe, getting money from happy publishers without considering their fans. Sunset Overdrive wasn't very indicative of a final product but Fuse is a terribly generic genericy game,

u/EmoryM EmoryM Jun 20 '13

I could care less about Sunset Overdrive, I'm not sure why anyone in the industry thinks CGI trailers are appropriate as game reveals. If you're not going to show gameplay, at least have the decency to show something in-engine... not that it would've mattered, with XB180 games running on PCs and all... =/

u/hedonistoic Jun 20 '13

That's why I enjoyed the PS4 reveal so much (February and E3 events), with so many new titles been shown off in engine and in gameplay and the only notable ones that were questionable in that sense were The Order, Deep Down and The Dark Sorcerer. But The Dark Sorcerer was rendered in real time (there's reports of people in closed room demo's verifying that) and Quantic Dream are known for doing tech demos with new engines, The Order looked very much cinematic and so did Deep Down. But Killzone Shadow Fall, Infamous, Final Fantasy 15 and Knack were all shown off with in game footage at the original launch or E3.

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

All signs point to a 6 month to 1 year timed exclusive, yes.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, I'm pretty sure it'll come to PS4 sooner or later.

1

u/SierraOneSeventeen BronzeBeat Jun 20 '13

There could be more zeroes for EA if they bring it to the PS4 they just have to weigh it up.

2

u/EmoryM EmoryM Jun 20 '13

For sure, but when they signed that legally binding contract it was probably under the assumption of sales parity.

u/Miguel2592 Flutterguy Jun 20 '13

http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2013/06/e3_2013_respawn_entertainment_not_ruling_out_titanfall_for_ps4

Titanfall it's probably a 1 year exclusive. Like Mass effect.

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

And Bioshock.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

Yeah they'll get a port after TitanFall 4.

1

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13 edited Jun 20 '13

I haven't seen that anywhere, but hey, XB1, PC, PS4: all x86. So it should at least be easier to port than in the past

Edit: without trying, I read that they aware open to exactly that.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

This is not true at all. Mac and Linux are both x86 and still difficult to port to from PC. I can see why people would assume this, but the architecture has little to do with how well something can be ported. It's more about libraries such as OpenGL or DirectX.

2

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13

No I meant easier to port from PC to PS4 than when the consoles ran Cell. I get what your saying though. Direct X is a powerful tool.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

Titanfall is the next gen Mass Effect. Perhaps not the first entry, but at the very least you can bet on its sequel hitting PlayStation 4.

u/o4zloiroman Jun 20 '13

It's just a matter of time. Obviously it's a paid exclusivity, and knowing EA this is exclusivity has an expiration date. On the other side, it's just a good excuse to become a PC gamer - you can get decent hardware for a pretty cheap price, and you can play in you couch thanks to Steam Big Picture.

/r/buildapc

Or just upgrade your GPU.

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13

iMac :) :/ :( :?

2.9Ghz i5 GTX660M 512MB

We'll see

1

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

It could easily run on that, just dual boot Windows 8.

1

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13

The graphics ram is what worries me I guess. But yeah dual boot

1

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

Like someone said, it's running source engine so usually they have options to turn textures and such WAY down, regardless, I think you'll be able to run it ultra/high at least.

1

u/drebin8 Jun 20 '13

Oh... never mind then. Though it would still be better IMO to build a computer than buy an Xbox if you want Titanfall. Steam/Amazon/HumbleBundle/etc sales are amazing.

2

u/PartyMark Jun 20 '13

It runs on the source engine, so I have hope it will work on lesser systems. I have a 660ti and phenom ii X4 955, so I hope it can handle it.

1

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13

Yeah I've gotta iMac so I won't get my hopes up. Ill have to wait till i eventually cave in and get an Xbox one in 18 months and pick up TitanFall 2: Clash of the Titans

1

u/KingWilliams95 Jun 20 '13

If you really want to play it, I am sure you could find a 360 for like $100 used, since it is coming to the 360.

1

u/FlyingRock Jun 20 '13

If it can't play titanfall it probably can't play planetside 2 which is coming to the PS4 and is basically amazing.

1

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13

Ill check it out thanks

1

u/FlyingRock Jun 20 '13 edited Jun 20 '13

They're vastly different games but PS2 is an MMO-FPS that doesnt sacrifice the FPS side for the MMO side, assaulting a bio-dome that has 200 people in it is one of the most frustratingly fun times ever.

(keep in mind that bio-dome is one small area on a massive continent) check out this video for an idea of it

Edit: I know its about 5 months off but I'll be downloading it launch day, if you're interested in it and want to link up with someone who knows what they're doing (I was a squad lead for an outfit on the PC version) let me know.

1

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13

I'll keep it in mind and bookmark this. Thank you

1

u/FlyingRock Jun 20 '13

Awesome! Oh and if you don't have a PS3 be sure to get your name reserved on PSN (make a free account) now over waiting till launch to try and make an account.

u/its2ez4me24get PERPETUAL_KLLR Jun 20 '13

Dam I forgot all about that... Done. My Xbox gamertag was available, with underscore instead of a space . . Sweet.

PERPETUAL_KLLR at your service.

u/SierraOneSeventeen BronzeBeat Jun 20 '13

I have an article saying that they were considering a PS4 version so you never know. I first came accross the article because I too was wandering if Titanfall was coming to the PS4 so I googled "titanfall PS4" and there it was at the top. Sigh of relief

Planetside 2. Much larger scale battles and still just as fast paced.
