Yeah, but they got around the same number of people working on games most likely.Valve list their employes at 400 but with the development of steamOS and their hardware testing a couple dozen of them must have shifted to it.
Your post was comparing Valve and ND's output, which didn't make sense considering Valve has more dev teams.

I'm starting to think a lot of people are unaware and assuming it does have a single player campaign actually. Its not like they are putting on the front of the box big colorful text "multiplayer only".
Last week I was talking to some friends and they were a bit disappointed when I corrected them on that. I was surprised that they didn't know, they aren't really that out of the loop with gaming news.
theres a multiplayer campaign
Honestly. I think they probably maybe had to rush the game and decided to focus on the main aspect of any shooter. The multiplayer
whether you like it or not. Its a great experience. I do hope titanfall 2 will have a SP though.
What I heard is that it doesnt even have the "what if" scenarios that Brink had. The only real interesting idea that Brink had in the sp "campaign".

Some sites waiting until its live servers for a score on a online only FPS game? Well it looks like some have learned their lesson from BF4

Fifteen years ago I had no problem paying NZS100.00 for Quake 3. Weeks later I did the same thing for Unreal Tournament. I do not see a significant difference in paying 60 dollars US for Titanfall. Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament have proved that if the game is good enough, the consumers feel that it is worth it.
I find it somewhat odd that a game can't be worth $60 for the single omission of a single player. That was even a con in a review and I don't think that's fair at all.
Coop's also missing. Always have a blast with CoD coop and a bunch of friends.
You mean co-op online presumably? That hadn't crossed my mind honestly but I can remember doing that for a bit with my friend in high school with MW. Then we got annoyed and he just brought his xbox to my place and we connected online.
Because a typical game that has a single player campaign and a fleshed out multiplayer experience is seen as having more value than one with only a fleshed out multiplayer experience. And, honestly, having both components on a game like this is expected. I can see it as being a con, and it's harder for me to pay $60 when a game has one component but not the other.

are all of these sites just mashing the PC and Xbone reviews together?

But Destiny on PS4 looks great, where as Titanfall on the Bone....
did you play it on the X1? I think it looks fine. Better then Ghosts by far. I know that's not saying much but its not ugly by any means
Well, have you ever paid full price for a single player only game? I have and the lack of a multiplayer was never something that bothered me. Hell I have seen many people suggest they would have preferred Tomb Raider for example to have never had a multi to begin with. I'm curious if it turned out that way, would people who make the argument against titanfall suggest TR is not worth $60(for arguments sake the original release not the DE version).
Some people just don't like not having their tastes catered to at all times.
I dont think they had access to pc version. Its like the x360 version.
Bet it would have better reviews if they show the PC version but MS is trying to spin it to be a xbone only game.
Tf2 was 15 dollars when it released compared to 60 for Titanfall
Reviews are opinions and I guess demeriting something because it doesn't have something you like is valid to them
I for one disagree. If something is pure multiplayer it shouldn't be lowered for that.
Most indie games or phone games get reviewed with much lower standards because they aren't a retail game.

cant lie reviews make me want an xbox
almost....
Not that good scores were unexpected, but nice to see them nonetheless. Congrats to Respawn for shipping what looks to be a great game.
Hopefully it gets a great player base and support. For XB1 specifically, hopefully they are able to take advantage of improving dev tools and iron out titan vs titan framerate issues. After that, then maybe we'll see this resolution upgrade they are already talking about. (I just hope they prioritize a flawless 60fps over 900p).

And the results are games that are so interchangeable that once you played one you've effectively played them all.

Kudos for all the websites that refused to score the game until it can be properly reviewed in real world conditions.
Every once in awhile, but like I said, it's harder for me to pay $60 for a game that has one component but not another. That said, I would probably be more comfortable paying full price for a single player-only game than a multiplayer-only game, because I don't always want to play a game with other people. That's personal preferance. Sometimes I just want to play a game by myself.
About Tomb Raider, I could've sworn that game had a pretty fleshed out multiplayer component.

Online game is being reviewed before the game is officially live for the public, I've seen this story with BF4
You not familiar with Bluepoint Games port work?
MGS HD and Ico Collection on PS3. The 360 version should be a very solid game technically.
Gotta get those page hits and advertising money in, can't go making sure a game actually functions on day 1 before dropping a review.
Integrity, there is none in the world of video games.

In that scenario TR wouldn't have been tied behind a server and be completely useless when the server isn't working or when devs decided too stop paying for it. So I wouldn't have mind.

Oh I see... so it's as worthless as a review from Yahoo.com. Got it. Why would they average that in. Newspaper reviews.... Ha!

?? How is that relevant? They have been reviewing games for a long time, how do you know hw much of a gamer their reviewer is? Gaming is big business now. No different then ploygons ridiculous 7 for last of us, a game that was a lot higher reviewed the titanfall.

The multiplayer component is pretty bare bones and very lack luster so it's essentially not fun. Hence why many, from what I've gathered in the various TR threads, would have preferred they didn't waste their time on it. I will probably never platinum TR because of it for example. Shame but I don't regret the money I spent on the game, both times. Fun game, worth the money. Which is essentially my argument. If Titan, which I already know is a damn fun game, isn't worth $60 because it's multiplayer only then I find that really unfair to multiplayer only games. There's enough gaming space to accommodate all kinds of games and there's no reason to discourage a developer from making an online only game.
I'd rather that than be forced to use a keyboard and mouse to be competitive.
I'm curious if the people who say "$60 for MP only is not worth it" feel the same way about Infamous:SS? That's a single-player only experience. Me? I lean towards SP experiences, but I don't see any problem with those that want a pure MP experience. Did anyone buy CoD or BF for it's single-player? Heck I'm interested in Destiny, and I'm pretty sure you need to be connected online to play that.
Now if your argument is that their online experience (in terms of game modes, maps, customization, etc) is not worth $60, well that's a different argument (still subjective, but seemingly more supported).

Wow @ polygon. I think the same reviewer gave CoD PS4 a lower score for frame rate problems. But here it seems both the PC and Xone version got same score.
Or maybe CoD Ps4 had really bad frame rate problems (worse than titanfall)

To be fair such an example doesn't apply considering Titanfall uses MS's server which isn't going down unless someone blows it up.

15 year ago those games had better AI than Titanfall though, at least from what I've gathered. I played heaps of UT and Quake 3 in single player against bots.
