Titanfall critics are "assuming things" based on older shooters

4.7
Titanfall designer Justin Hendry has suggested that backlash surrounding the shooter’s 6v6 player cap comes from assumptions surrounding other shooters that perhaps allow for greater player-counts.

It follows confirmation that Titanfall will not include a microtransaction model.

Speaking with OXM, Hendry said of the player-count issue, “No, it’s not annoying to me. I didn’t really think about it. I guess we’re confident with the decisions that we’re making, and we agree that the gameplay is best this way.

He continued, “I think when people get the chance to play they’ll hopefully understand. People have a certain amount of apprehension based on the games they’re playing right now, and that they’ve been playing. I don’t blame them for having that outlook, and saying that they’re going to be bored – they’re assuming things based on what they’ve played, and I understand why people do that.

“So it’s not annoying at all, I get it, but I just hope that people give it a chance and make their minds up after they’ve played the game.”

After having played Titanfall last year, I wrote a blog about why 6v6 probably isn’t something you should worry about.

Agree/disagree? Let us know below.

People will always assume crap because of other games which just ridiculous I think this game will be sick

If you haven't played the game and think 6v6 is bad, you are in for one hell of a ride. Coming from a Battlefield player, the matches feel chaotic with so much to do, Titans, Spectres, Grunts and the super fast paced action make the game sooooo good.

Honestly after experiencing part of it, I haven't been excited for a FPS since Halo 2/3. Is that damn good.

raefon I was looking forward to it then the limiting 6v6 kind of made me go hmmmmm really why would you start putting limitations on it.

Then the latest Alpha footage gave a very poor example of graphics. It was definitely not next gen and the game was not doing anything new or exceptional. I would have expected a load more out of it.

Especially for the PS4 and Xbox One. If they have all this power im yet to see anything that show cases the major changes that should be occurring.

Titan fall like Ghost is going to fall flat on its face. I wish it was otherwise as I would love some true next gen games. But my hopes are now on WatchDogs.


The graphics will be a lot better I'm assuming, once the game is released. It is only in Alpha after all.

I don't see why a majority of people are complaining over the 6v6 aspect. Think about all of the AI's on the map at the same time. You don't want the playing field to be over crowded, do you?

You do realize that was the Alpha right. The game is not finished right.

OT: I cant wait for this game. I played it, and I feel that the 6v6 is perfect.

I hope 6v6 is enough. I don't want big giant maps.
