Titanfall looks like shit to me (old gen) and nothing new... Looks like another Call of dudies with robots...
Couldn't agree more :\ Right from the start I've been wondering what has everyone so excited... it's Call of Duty with mechs, that's it, that's all it is
Second, I think it's the bigger freedom of movement. The speed, jet packs, wall running - those things have great potential for expanding the gameplay.
I can see this being loads of fun.
It's "god damn mechs" where everyone will be fighting to be one of the 3 mechs for that round. The jetpacks and wall running is just fluff, it's Infinity Ward and you know the game is going to look, sound, feel and play like all the other Call of Duty titles - only now there's more vertical gameplay (after playing low gravity CoD hacks I can tell you it's less fun than it sounds) and with people spamming the mechs.
I think people are excited because it's one of the XBONE/PC exclusive, and for once a game comes out on PC
But PC game doesn't mean good game though :/ I bet you it's gonna be a straight shitty port of the XBONE version, which is already a straight port of the X360 version (accordingly to the graphics)...

They way I understood it, anyone on the map can have a mech. They apparently have their own timer for their own mech, so there shouldn't be any fighting for one - everyone can get a mech at any point in time (once the timer is at 0, that is).
I'd like to be wrong, I'd love for IW to go back to what made CoD4 so friggin' awesome.. but I'm incredibly jaded about the whole thing lately and I think the mech aspect just screams "gimmick" to me, in order to try and say "Hey, it's not CoD! It isn't! It's something new and original"
Seriously, just watch that video like 50 times and imagine how awesome a modern game would be if you could have a chest mounted laser gattling cannon and could change into a plane.
for those who didnt watch, here are the compilations of dreadful (lots of stuff is missing though as there was way too much awkward bullshit in those 3 hours)

Titanfall hype was MANUFACTURED from the very beginning.
Even before anyone had seen any footage we were told "this is next big thing", it was the most meticulously planned marketing ploy ever in gaming history.
And apparently it works. Titanfall looks like a fun game and may actually be great but that is shady as fuck.
I don't like the more recent trend of companies consciously trying to come up with "big new trends" and then manipulating the consumers into thinking thats what they wanted all along. (just look at game monetization)
If something becomes a big thing its often random - it just happens. Forcing this process is spin supreme.
and what do you think the 80% of the hardcore dudebro console gamers are?
this show was aimed at mainstream gamerfags. The legit hardcore gamers who are few... were embarassed. but do we matter? we're just 20% of the gaming community. we don't buy cods or ass creeds and salivate at panther like stealth of sam fischer. So we don't matter. We don't gief monies to EA and Actiderp. This show made so much money to Spike and Gametrailers... they don't care. The dorrito/dew breath children were jerking off with every WORLD EXCLUSIVE TRAILER!

I know that very well Guess you haven't seen my comments in the other threads about this craptastic show.
You can't help those retards. And they'll keep getting exploited while we also suffer to some extent because of their stupidity.
Yea, he had his moments, like when he was talking about "demos, previews, trailers... all fancy words that basically just mean advertisement for games."
But don't think any of it was un-rehearsed or caught anyone by surprise. It went all according to plan.
