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

Dragify I could care less if it outsells Cod because we all know it will be better than Cod Lol!


I have to say that this is probably true.


Completely agree with you guys.


4th That, Definitely will be better than COD and stack up against BF4
Make that a 5th. COD needs to either massively step up it's game or just die...


I about died of laughing when you said. Just die.


hes telling the truth. how much longer are people going to keep buying the same **** every year?


Yes you are right Cod is the same recycled game every year. It will eventually die out it's just a matter of time.

I wonder who had the question that really thought this needed to be answered. No new IP will take down a repetitive top-seller like CoD.

His prediction is accurate.

Duh. No new IP is magically gonna take down CoD.

WoobiePosted:

That would be amazing if it did but I doubt they will, glad they're not crazy with their goals.

If it was multi-platform than it might have a chance. To bad it isn't. Plus I don't really see this game becoming that much of a hit imo.

BeetPosted:

OmittingCoder While Titanfall obviously looks better it is impossible to outsell CoD.


GTA V will outsell CoD. I doubt Ghost can stand up to GTA V.

Quality>Quantity. They don't have to outsell to make a better game. Only die hard fanboys don't believe in this.
