This game made a bit of a splash at E3 2013, but I noticed that there still wasn't a thread made for it, so I cobbled one together. Due out in 2014, Titanfall is currently exclusive to both the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 (this version will be outsourced , however), and it is also seeing release on the PC. A version for Playstation consoles isn't "out of the question", but it won't be happening anytime soon.

The game is also currently the cover story for Game informer, so they've got a hub up for it that's getting updated all through the month of June:

Kind of odd it's MP only seeing as what they showed was entirely scripted.

The fact that they're outsourcing the 360 release reminds me of the days when the 360 had just been released.

I am in no way getting this game on the Xbone or PC, so I'll need to see how the 360 version handles before I consider getting it.

Didn't know this was multiplayer only. I understand their reason for it, but any interest in this I had is dead. I play games for single player experiences or to play around with friends which oddly is getting harder and harder to do.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I won't be getting an XBone for a long time if at all, and my PC is slowly becoming a relic for gaming. As such, the 360 release is pretty much the only one I'll bother with- assuming the team developing the game does a good job of making it work on the hardware. I'm a little optimistic on this front, since Titanfall is using Valve's "Source" engine, which should scale down well enough.

I'm open to the idea of picking one up eventually (assuming the no DRM stuff holds out), but that won't be a good long while.

One of the articles in the Game informer hub talks about this- they're incorporating a lot of what you would normally see in single player into the mutliplayer "campaign". A.I. enemies and comrades, level intros and epilogues, scripted sequences with said A.I. characters, etc.

I think it'll be an interesting experience at the very least. I'm not planning on getting any new console for a while except maybe a WiiU eventually though. Don't feel like getting hit by launch bugs/hardware problems and I'd rather wait for multiple good games to be out.

Same. Last console I bought at launch was the Dreamcast. Nowadays I usually wait at least a year before snagging anything that major.

Game looks fun, but I'm pretty sure my PC has no chance of running it.

They also said in a giant bomb interview that the Xbox One server support is going to provide nice things over the PC version.

Raptr has a sweepstakes to win the collectors edition of the PC edition, hoping I win it but I doubt it.

I'm so glad I have a great gaming PC. It means I'll never need an XBOX One.

Playing on PC (Origin ID is Bardiel18) and currently Gen 5 - so yes, the infamous Gooser challenge.

Update is going live and it's dropping from 50 Gooser kills to 5. Kind of a shame in my opinion. It was hardcore, but challenges are meant to be challenging - so those whiners win. In any case, I'll see how much I can do during this gen before it rots my brain.

I'll look you up after I get it, but it might be a while. I'm saving for PAX, so my number of purchases have drastically decreased. The only one I'm buying this month is PC Dark Souls 2, and even then I'm only buying myself that expensive of a game as a birthday gift to myself.

That's honestly another reason I'm glad I ended up building my own gaming PC instead of waiting for the new consoles. Better performance and graphics across the board (in most cases) and things get cheaper faster, and more often.

Anyway, new patch hit the other day. Guess I won't have to do that challenge to hardcore levels. I've hit 3 out of the 5 now required. Feels a little cheap now.

Really looking forward to more game modes at this point though. For an MP only game, I think it'll really benefit from a decent coop mode.
