Titanfall... Only a short time away. Yet with the beta out in public for the last several weeks, we get an insider look at what may become the next hit series in gaming. Gameplay appearing and mentioned as CoD-like in mechanics, with the addition of "Titans", mechs if you will, utilized by players when earned to combat the opposing team's artillery and tactics. As of late, many, many people praise the title, seeing at as a revolutionary game, and a tad different than what we are used to, especially those who anticipate it to kill the Call of Duty franchise in its rise through the ranks of numerous other names in gaming... Though it is highly unlikely. Few bugs may exist in game, but aside from that, the controls and gameplay is flawless, very enjoyable as I hear people dub it as "the most fun they've had in a long time".
Titanfall 2 may come to the PS4 console. PS3 will never see the time of day. Sony attempted to claim right to the Titanfall series but failed. Titanfall is a Microsoft exclusive whereas they are trying to procure exclusive DLC for Xbox one. Sony has spoken up clarifying that there hardware has a significant advantage over the Xbox One system, as the game quality shows a performance gap between the would be Titanfall on the PS4 as compared to Xbox One. The performance gap rivals that of Call of Duty: Ghost on both consoles. Here is a source showing the performance gap between the consoles for CoD:Ghosts- http://www.hardwarepal.com/cod-ghosts-runs-720p-xbox-one/
It’s important to notice that this isn’t a hardware performance differentiation but more of a compatibility optimization.
While Titanfall will be adding monster dlc sometime soon we shouldn’t expect more titans. Apparently, balancing titan’s abilities proves to be a difficult task. If they care so much about balance I wonder what other aspect of the game have been given such loving care. For now all we get in the way of monster is some sort of huge brachiosaurus lingering in the background. I think I’ll name it ‘Fred’.

I think Titanfall will live up to expectations. It just remains to be seen how long it will hold it’s appeal. I want it to succeed. Because, I think it is such a unique game.
