Titanfall is “blowing the doors off” for Xbox One – Harrison

4.6
Titanfall has made Microsoft very, very happy, corporate vice president Phil Harrison has said, and is a major contributor to the Xbox One’s success.

Speaking with VentureBeat at GDC, Harrison said the Xbox One is doing great, and highlighted Respawn’s shooter as part of that.

“Things are going great. It’s the fastest, most successful launch in our history,” he said.

“Titanfall is blowing the doors off, literally and figuratively,” he added, showing a casual disregard for the meaning of the word “literally”.

“Great engagement, just fantastic proof of users not only buying Xbox One, but using it in a very engaged way. More than five hours average use per day, which is amazing.”

Regarding Sony’s apparent lead in the console war, Harrison was bullish that the initial battle is ongoing.

“We’re 120 days into our platform lifecycle. This is a marathon, not a sprint,” he said.

“We’re happy with our plan. We’re happy with the performances of our key franchises and key partnerships, most notably Titanfall in the last couple of weeks. You can see independent surveys and studies showing our sell-through doubling in the U.K. as far as hardware. We have a fantastic lineup we’ll reveal more of at E3 and beyond. We have a lot of great surprises to come.”

Harrison went on to discuss the ID@Xbox program, which Microsoft is promoting heavily at GDC, notably boasting that it has signed 250 developers culled from “thousands” of applications.

“Just to put that 250 developers in context, that’s more than the entire independent developer cohort on Xbox 360. In 120 days, we have more developers working on Xbox One in the ID program than we had lifetime on 360,” he said.

Speaking of Titanfall, Respawn recently reiterated that the franchise is not platform exclusive; Titanfall sequels could come to PlayStation.

Snag I love this game. However I feel like they could have made it a lot better, possibly the CoD killer everyone talks about. It needs a wider variety of weapons, leaderboards, more game modes, and more customization (weapon camos, pilot customization, titan camos, etc.) If they were to have had all of these in it then this game would be arguably one of the best games ever.


sounds to much like cod and they need to stay asfar away from that as possible its fine the way it is right now could just use some minor tweaks

Kopa this game looks pretty bad....
dude are you crazy? this game is amazing! Not bad at all


I have to agree, it does look pretty bad in my opinion..


let me guess u both have ps4, either way it is a top-selling game.


It does actually look like it's running on an XBOX 360 tbh and there are a few better looking 360 games than this easily.It certainly doesn't look next gen at all especially compared to Killzone Shadowfall,there's a huge difference.It doesn't feel finished really either... better than just another COD though i suppose but it is very similar to COD in a whole lot of ways apart from the Mechs.

To be honest those seem like COD features. I'm not really bothered that there are no camos or too many customization options.


I agree there, They dont wanna make the game like COD but im sure they will add stuff to make the game better we just need to wait and see.

Titanfall needs work, but it surely has made Xbox ONE far batter.
