"Microsoft saved Titanfall from being canned"

Interesting read for Titanfall fans.

"There are couple different reasons why the game ended up not coming to the PlayStation platform. Essentially, Microsoft was talking with them about Durango very early on and courting them to move Titanfall over to that. They
asked Sony if they could talk to them about the next Playstation, but Sony constantly said they weren’t ready to discuss. It even mentions Sony were willing to help Respawn to get a Vita version of the game. It mentions that they essentially pleaded with Sony,
saying “Listen, things are about to be locked in behind the scenes. If you want this, please talk to us”, which Sony again declined.

It also mentions that at a point later in development, Zampella and West sat down with Riccitiello to tell him that they didn’t have enough manpower to develop for any consoles other than Xbone and, maybe, PC, and that Respawn was
essentially out of money and the game would need to be delayed and that they’d cut single player. EA ended up having to find the funding for the project with a first party, and Microsoft were willing to put up the money to actually finish the game."

Activision ditched it, but Square Enix got publishing rights for it, so i think is still being developed but it will be published under Square enix instead of activision.

 

happens all the time in the gaming industry

 

Respawn was also "smart" enough to have the original release be M$/Xbox "only". They "signed" to M$ for the big bucks and the one year exclusive. Pretty smart if you ask me, especially for a new company. TF"2" or whatever the sequel/next release is, will
be for EVERY platform, guarantee.

 

Good thing MS was there, I guess it goes to show that sony may not be as developer friendly as they want people to think.

 

I agree Kiddeth. Titanfall is a lot of fun, and maybe if it was not for MS this game may have not canned.
