Titanfall, the game that leaves a stale taste in every person that has experienced the game’s mouth has a sequel coming out this year, because of the somehow unprecedented success the original game had. Titanfall 2 was officially announced a few months ago and we saw our first taste of gameplay at the EA E3 press conference back in beginning of June, which promised us key components the original game lacked such as a single player story mode and more variety when it came to the multiplayer side of things. Gamescom, another huge gaming exposition, happened in Germany over the past week and we were told that we would be getting an open pre-alpha test for consoles to try Titanfall 2 this weekend starting August 19th and going until the 21st and then picking itself back up next weekend giving them time to fix small bugs and glitches that were found with the alpha software.
I’ve now clocked in maybe a solid 3-4 hours with the alpha and it’s hitting me, will Titanfall 2 end up like its predecessor and lose a vast majority of its player base after a few weeks due to lack of replay ability, even for a multiplayer only shooter. I unlike a very big population of the gaming community really enjoyed the original game throughout its excessive amount of betas and around the launch for actually a few months. Even though it fell oddly short of what was expected, the game provided something fresh and unique that wasn’t ever done before and then we saw the likeness picked up for the newer Call of Duty titles. Due to how similar said Call of Duty titles were, I was unsure if a new Titanfall game would even be worth giving a shot, but of course with an open pre-alpha test I tried it out and due to its state I took a lot of the bugs with a grain of salt as it is a work in progress. With that being said, even though the game is a work in progress, you can still get the main concept of the game. It’s trying to save grace with the failure of the name that was Titanfall.
Upon my venture into this game, I’ve tested out both consoles as there is not a PC test available due to them not being able to really describe the spec requirements yet. Titanfall 2 had a huge amount of gameplay that has been shown and it was all on the PlayStation 4 since they didn’t even get the original game, of course that made me wonder how the Xbox port actually ran. I downloaded both games as the pre-loads went live late last night and logged onto my Xbox as the servers were brought online this morning. I didn’t really notice much difference at all between the Xbox and PlayStation ports surprisingly as that is the one thing that fanboy’s absolutely adore picking apart and bashing the other console family for. It felt familiar and somehow like what Titanfall should have been back in 2014, it really tends to show what Respawn is truthfully capable of if you didn’t believe they had it in them even though they were a company that was an old Call of Duty development team, or at least a majority of it. Respawn was made up of a lot of Infinity Ward developers around the Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 era so this should be no surprise as those are the best games in that franchise. Even though I have this really strong gut feeling about Titanfall 2, I cannot manage to place whether this game will fall off the face of the earth as fast as its older sibling did. New game modes are the big turning point for the game and of course the more weapons and customization available making the pre-alpha fun to screw around with friends in but like I said before, I can already feel me getting weary of this after 3-4 hours of gameplay.
If you think Titanfall was a good game or you at least enjoyed it for a certain amount of time give this test a shot, give your own opinion as I really can’t speak for everyone. I will have published a full review of Titanfall 2 once the game officially releases on October 28th however until then, I’m going to try to keep my expectations surprisingly low so I can be hopefully swept away along with trying to enjoy these tests as they come and go to get a stronger more viable opinion on the game.
Stand by for Titanfall.
