Titanfall producer: “I don’t know if it’s making profit. I don’t care”

4.7
Titanfall producer Drew McCoy ain’t give a **** if his game is making dollars, he’s doing it for the love.

Speaking to GameSpot, McCoy said he’s happy the development team is still working on it – he’s not in this business for the cheddar.

“I don’t know if it’s making a profit, I don’t know if it’s meeting sales expectations. I don’t really care,” he said.

“I care that I worked on a game that I can sit down and enjoy playing. The fact that people enjoy it and it has made enough that we [get to] continue supporting it as a studio, that’s to me a success. We make games because we love them and we want other people to play them with us.”

Love won’t buy the baby new shoes, Drew.

He didn’t want to be drawn on competition with the likes of Battlefield or Call of Duty, but said he hopes that Titanfall inspires others to make games their own way rather than follow a formula.

“There’s been some really colossal failures… there’s been games that looked at what’s popular and go ‘oh, if we have this, people will buy our game.’ And then it just completely fails, because they missed the reason as to why that game was good and they didn’t try anything new.”

“So I hope what Titanfall does, as a gamer and as someone who wants to see the industry get better and make cooler stuff, is try new things and not just try and copy what’s good.”

Kanashii If you play Titanfall you will see that when he says:

"try new things and not just try and copy whats good.

He has done exactly that in this game. Taking aspects from other games and putting it into one isn't sneaky and unnoticeable just like a teacher can tell when you've copied and pasted a different paragraph from a different site for an essay and you try to pass it off as original.


It's a shooter. Did you expect the guns to shoot peanuts or something?


Yeah, he did. (Sarcasm)


It's a different type of shooter though, i have never seen a Titan as a kill streak in any other game.


While the game is similar to aspects of other first person shooters you need to come to terms that titanfall is an FPS and there is only so much that they can innovate. I personally think that titanfall has done a pretty good job with it and is overall a fun game to play
