Titanfall dev not expecting to outsell Call of Duty

4.6
Respawn Entertainment co-founder Vince Zampella doesn't expect his new game, Titanfall, to outsell Call of Duty.

"It's a new brand," he said as he compared it to the dominant Activision-published FPS series he also helped create before his departure from Infinity Ward.

"You build up momentum over the years when you put out a new brand. It's starting over, so it won't sell as well [as Call of Duty]," he said in a recent radio interview, reports Gamespot.

"But for us it's kind of a passion project. We love it. It's something new," Zampella continued. "It's taking the old paradigm of these shooter games being very grounded and two-dimensional and now adding this verticality to it and making it something that's a new experience; something that people haven't seen before."

Zampella later confirmed that the multiplayer-only shooter will retail at $60 in North America.

The sci-fi shooter was officially announced at E3 in July. It went on to be named Best of Show at the E3 Game Critics Awards.

Titanfall will launch on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC in spring 2014

Not very many games outsell the Call of Duty titles nowadays, as Titanfall is something new, I am sure it will generate a large amount of sales, as it does look as if it will be a thoroughly enjoyable game. I look forward to the game's release none the less.

Cokes Nothing every outsells COD.


GTA V definitely will outsell it ! Especially now that people have seen gameplay.


I actually don't think it will, CoD is still surprisingly popular.

brendan64shark The game looks really good but out selling cod is a dream for them.lol


It's a dream for any game but GTA at this point.


Yah Rockstar has a good chance at outselling CoD this year


I couldn't really see GTAV outselling Call of duty at this point, Call of duty is still extremely popular despite people coming to terms that it's pretty much the same game as the last


They keep making the same game and these little 12 year old's fall for it, with their parents money of course.

-Amp I'm sure we all know that it wouldn't outsell Call of Duty.


While titan fall looks much better Call of Duty appeals to a wider audience for the sole reason that it's an established and popular franchise.
