Titanfall was easily one of the hottest games at E3 this year. The upcoming multiplayer-focused first-person shooter by Respawn Entertainment takes traditional FPS elements, and tweaks the rules by throwing in giant exoskeletons, called "Titans," capable of immense power. While everything about Titanfall was attractive, there was one downside — at least for PlayStation owners. The game is only coming to Xbox platforms and PC… Or is it?
Speaking to GameTrailers, studio founder Vince Zampella had some choice words when asked if "PlayStation Nation is gonna have to wait for Titanfall."
"At launch we're going to be on Xbox One, 360, and PC," Zampella said, emphasizing the words "at launch." So when asked in a follow-up if he means Titanfall could come to other platforms eventually, Zampella wouldn't confirm nor deny it.
"Um, all we're talking about is.. you know, we're focused on getting the game out at launch; making it the most best and fun it can be. Anything after that, we'll have to focus on later."
So could Titanfall come to PlayStation consoles eventually? Zampella's inability to deny the platform could mean Titanfall is only a timed launch-exclusive for Xbox and PC. As one of the smaller game development studios, perhaps Zampella thought it best for Respawn to limit the platforms at launch. Or maybe Microsoft paid them a hefty bit of cash to be a timed exclusive.
