Titanfall critics are "assuming things" based on older shooters

4.7
Titanfall designer Justin Hendry has suggested that backlash surrounding the shooter’s 6v6 player cap comes from assumptions surrounding other shooters that perhaps allow for greater player-counts.

It follows confirmation that Titanfall will not include a microtransaction model.

Speaking with OXM, Hendry said of the player-count issue, “No, it’s not annoying to me. I didn’t really think about it. I guess we’re confident with the decisions that we’re making, and we agree that the gameplay is best this way.

He continued, “I think when people get the chance to play they’ll hopefully understand. People have a certain amount of apprehension based on the games they’re playing right now, and that they’ve been playing. I don’t blame them for having that outlook, and saying that they’re going to be bored – they’re assuming things based on what they’ve played, and I understand why people do that.

“So it’s not annoying at all, I get it, but I just hope that people give it a chance and make their minds up after they’ve played the game.”

After having played Titanfall last year, I wrote a blog about why 6v6 probably isn’t something you should worry about.

Agree/disagree? Let us know below.

raefon I was looking forward to it then the limiting 6v6 kind of made me go hmmmmm really why would you start putting limitations on it.

Then the latest Alpha footage gave a very poor example of graphics. It was definitely not next gen and the game was not doing anything new or exceptional. I would have expected a load more out of it.

Especially for the PS4 and Xbox One. If they have all this power im yet to see anything that show cases the major changes that should be occurring.

Titan fall like Ghost is going to fall flat on its face. I wish it was otherwise as I would love some true next gen games. But my hopes are on Watch Dogs.


How can you base your opinions on alpha footage? Alpha is pre-beta, beta is pre-release, which makes alpha an entire two steps behind what will be played on consoles and on PC.

You should start going around to hospitals, grabbing newborns and infants, and telling their parents that you don't like their high school yearbook photo, since you seem to have a psychic grip on works' in progress.

I can't wait for this game, graphics look stunning

EuphemismPosted:

No idea why so many people would assume 6v6 wouldnt be a good idea especially when the games built around it. Game looks gorgeous too.

I personally think that Titanfall will be the best shooter yet. I have had it pre ordered for about 5 months now.

LAL Most of those hating on titanfall haven't even tried it out but i believe critics will finally come to believe once the game has been released.


People are just caught up on CoD. They talk shit about it but still play it.

So wrong dude the only alpha footage you saw was probably 480p, Have you even played the alpha its amazing, and to say its "nothing new" leads me to believe you haven't even seen footage of the game.

Also you instantly compare it to CoD why do people compare every shooter to CoD is it because you don't play any other shooter I believe it is. Don,t judge a book by its cover.
