Titanfall On Xbox 360 Gets Pushed Back

[Yopaz]

Two weeks? Come on. This is such an obvious and miserable attempt to make some people people buy the Xbone.

Yeah, when one version gets delayed because they want to spiff it's not the platform where they got the most experience they pick to push back. It's either the platform they suspect got the highest piracy (Ubisoft and PC) or the platform where they simply suck at developing for (hey Rockstar).

2 weeks isnt much of a wait, and in fact I would advise players to wait on this... I am looking for the PC version myself but going to wait on reviews and initial impressions after release.

Things I am worried about ...

5 v 5 = toxic players , little to no chance to build up communities around the game.
Servers ? Player hosted ? Matchmaking issues ?
Leveling up ? Noob trouncing ?

Game has a lot of potential pitfalls, mostly around the small players sizes of the teams... larger teams allows for some leeway in skill, allows for some new players to learn the ropes without too much hassle, allows for dedicated servers as player hosts cant really keep up with large teams, builds communities (at least with dedicated servers), etc.
Small teams usually have issues with 1 or 2 players either grieving the team, or if 1 or 2 lack the skill will trigger a rager to flame and /or quit mid match (that is NOT to say the same CAN'T happen in larger teams just the impact is dampened by numbers).

Adopting a wait and see stance here, it is EA who is publishing this... may want to wait for a few 'patches'.

I didn't even know it was coming out on 360 as well. Although when you consider the way they were touting it as Xbox One exclusive even as it was releasing on the PC it's not that surprising. They will do their best to make the games look pretty I'm sure, but I hope they take just as much time making sure it works. Too often do we get games that almost immediately need a patch. I'm sure on the first day there will be issues aplenty. I don't care if a game looks pretty, I just want it to function properly.

Pah, i'd rather get the PC version, i'll probably wait a little to get it though.

they dropped the xbone exclusive thing pretty quick in its development, I'm like you i'd rather have a not so pretty but functional game than a pretty but iffy one.

i dont see anyone taking this bet. even the dumb people will realize that running the same game on 10 year old hardware will result in worse results compared to new hardware.

Resolution and frame-rate aside, of course! I still bet there will be other issues that crop up in order to "encourage" fans to upgrade to the XB1.

"We apologize for the technical problems associated with the 360 version of Titanfall. So anyone who bought Titanfall on the 360 will automatically receive a free copy for the X-Box One."

well, the game supposedly has a lot of not-player-controlled bots fighting. if the bot AI is anything more than suicidal rush and shoot everywhere you will see a lot of problems with 360. the singe reason for that being 512 mb of ram, because bot AI requires a lot of ram.
