Titanfall to stay off PS4 for life

Do you also play with non-PlayStation devices? Do you enjoy playing as a plumber saving a princess? Or some bald marines? Or maybe you want to play using the touchscreen?

Titanfall to stay off PS4 for life; Respawn wasn't aware of exclusivity deal

One of the most anticipated next-gen games will never be released on PS4.

Titanfall, which is being made by the creators of Call of Duty at new studio Respawn, was revealed last year as a timed Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC exclusive.

However, EA last night confirmed that the exclusivity deal is in fact “for the life of the title”.

That’s not to say that there will never be a Titanfall game on PS4. Indeed, when asked whether the deal was for the IP or just the first game Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella said that his studio will “of course” make games for PS4.

What’s perhaps more alarming is that Zampella claims that while he was aware of Titanfall’s launch exclusivity agreement with Microsoft he only recently discovered about the lifetime exclusivity deal, which he claims was brokered by publisher EA.

In June EA’s Frank Gibeau admitted that its Titanfall deal with Microsoft was a “tactical opportunity”, stating: “It's a product that came in through our EA Partners group, it's a partnership with Respawn, and there was an opportunity for Microsoft, EA and Respawn to create a tactical opportunity to make Titanfall exclusive to Microsoft.”

However, Respawn’s lead artist Joel Emslie said separately around the same time that a PS4 release for the game was “definitely not out of the question”.

Titanfall will be released on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on March 13th 2014.

Malaking ang binayad siguro ng MS sa EA knowing that this is a shooter game and really appealing to the masses. Instead of exclusive for a few months, naging sole exclusive game na.

So hintay na lang mga PS4 owners sa Titan Fall 2.

Yep... Ps4 has a strong enough launch line up as it is.

bakit ba hinahangad pa yang titanfall. meron naman shadowfall,BF4,ghost, destiny and i'm more attracted to the "optimized" planetside 2 (kung magiging optimize nga!). mga PS fanboy gusto lahat na ng games. lol joke! pero interesado ko sa RYSE kaya lang yun ang malabo talagang maging non-exclusive.

MAG was essentially the same thing. And look how successful that was.

Kahit luma na yung CoD4, up to now nagagandahan pa rin ako everytime i play it in PC. Pag na-miss ko, re-install lang.. nostalgia lang...

"For the life of the title"

Grand Theft Auto IV episodes are supposed to be exclusive. MS was said to have paid $50 million for it. But then it came out for the PS3. :bigmouth:
