In what has to be labelled as the most obvious and non-news today it has been revealed that EA games has possibly agreed on a deal with Titanfall developers, Respawn, to publish the sequel to the hit game.
“Electronic Arts has secured sequel rights for Respawn Entertainment’s multiplayer shooter Titanfall”, says GameSpot, citing a “reputable source.”
The option to land Titanfall 2 was based on the performance of the original game, which has apparently done well enough, and as expected, help shift a few Xbox Ones.
It really does show how slow a news day it is at the moment that we are reporting on this.
Other unconfirmed rumours are that the game will also head on over to the PlayStation platform when the inevitable sequel is released. This became patently obvious when the sales of the Xbox One were utterly and unilaterally trounced by the PlayStation 4. EA were taken by surprise by the poor performance and absolutely diabolical press disaster that Microsoft created last year.
So while the rumours are still just that I think it’s clear that we are going to see Titans falling on all platforms when the sequel is released in 2015. I predict their first plan was a new game every two years but with the sales of Titanfall on the Xbox One clearly lower than EA would have predicted, they predicted a far larger install base, I can see them rushing out a Titanfall 1.5 onto all platforms next year.
Oh and just so this article has something new and interesting in it.. here’s a list of the guns in Titanfall and the damage that they can inflict on pilots and Titans. Click to embiggen

It doesn’t really matter, same as with this one. You can get it really easily from the Origin Mexico store.

Wasn’t exclusivity signed after the mentioned press disaster. And you really can’t say that the ps4 has unilaterally outsold the One when the former is sold in 55 countries and the later is in 13. Still looks like a close race to me.

In all the countries both consoles are available, the PS4 outsold the XBO.

March 20, 2014 at 14:03
Still trying to say that the ps4 is destroying the One is very biased when not accounting for facts. Sure the ps4 has sold more but how would sales look if the one was in all the same countries. Still looks like a close race.

The facts are, the PS4 has not only outsold the One handsomely in the regions they’re both released in, it’s also hard to find in regions they’re both released in. Quite the opposite for the One. Not to mention being outsold on it’s home turf here in the US.
Now, Sony did release a large quantity of stock in March (my guess is to combat the uptick in sales that Titanfall would represent and also to get as many PS4’s out there for Infamous SS), but it’s still not readily available in every market that it’s released in. Again, quite the opposite for the One.

I doubt the Xbone will gain a significant momentum in countries like Peru. NA or EU or GTFO

They did the same crap with BF3, how many days after the BF3 release did they confirm BF4 was in development?
