The lights are on
During EA’s second quarter 2014 financial call, the topic turned Titanfall. Many have speculated that it's a Microsoft timed exclusive, but EA put those discussions to rest once and for all.
Addressing a question, chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen stated with no uncertainty that Titanfall is an exclusive for Microsoft platforms and PC "for the life of the title." If you want to play Respawn's first title, you won't be able to do it on a PlayStation 4.
For more on how Titanfall will use the power of the Xbox One, you can check out a video of the team explaining how they are maximizing the console's potential. If you'd like to know more about Respawn and the early days of Titanfall's development, a second video has you covered.
Update: Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella cleared up confusion about the scope of the exclusivity agreement. You can read more here.
Our TakeTitanfall as a lifelong exclusive puts to rest any speculation that Microsoft only contracted for a timed exclusive. This clears up any confusion about the marketing muscle Microsoft is putting behind Titanfall. Expect to see those giant, lumbering robots even more as the calendar turns and the March 11, 2014 release draws closer.
Meh, was never interested in Titanfall, nor the 'console war' everyone seems to be fighting.
There are other games I'm far more interested in on both consoles, and some I'm sad I won't be playing since I'm only buying one of the consoles, that's the nature of the game.
Reasons like this (Titanfall) and other games like Ryse, Forza, The Order 1886 and the like are why I've bitten the bullet and pre-ordered both consoles!
Now if I could just afford to buy some games after spending all my cash on the hardware, lol
Wow, this pretty much guarantees that Im getting the X1. No way Im missing out on Titanfall AND Halo.
My god- I guess if people really want the game, they'll be getting a good PC or an Xbox then...
To be completely honest, I'm starting to get sick of this :/
THANK GOD! I was really hoping that it would stay an Xbox One exclusive!
It's great to hear xbox has another exclusive !
In other words, microsoft have finally offered respawn enough money to make titanfall exclusive
lol Who needs Titanfall when you have Battlefield anyway? (for the record I'm getting xbone). Titanfall looks like a mixture of CoD, Mechwarrior and Blink. Bleurgh!
To give just a SLIVER amount to Microsoft; this shows that they're really commited to keeping their games exclusive.
And no offense, but anyone using the "Mass Effect went multiplatform" argument will find that it'll fall on deaf ears. It's owned by Respawn. You can only hope that they sellout. If not, you'll get it on the X1,pc, and for those who getting a ps4 ONLY, you'll probably 'magically procure' a pc like you say you do on comment sections, right...
Bummer. I'll get an Xbox One, but not for a while yet
well, to all the titanfall players, have fun...won't be getting an xbox one for just one game...
