I’m really hoping people don’t get to draw swastikas and male genitalia on their robot suits.
Despite all of the mudslinging and media generated competition coming out of this year’s E3, some incredibly promising games have been announced. The minds behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have given us something to really look forward to on the Xbox:One… Big robots with big guns. Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall closed out Microsoft’s press conference yesterday and is currently generating a lot of positive buzz. In the strictly multi-player shooter, players will be able to summon and pilot massive 24 foot tall battle mechs called Titans. While most modern shooters have the player scrambling for cover with two feet firmly planted on the ground, Titanfall also appears to boast vertical movement by way of jet pack, along with a climbing and free running mechanic. So… Giant robot AND jet-packs.
We’ve been eagerly anticipating Respawn’s debut (see article: Can Respawn Save us From FPS Groundhog Day?) game for quite some time, and have really high hopes that something truly unique is being made. Just imagining all the guns, grenades, perks, and powerups is making me salivate. I may even attempt to make my own Titan out of crap laying around my garage… wish me luck.
“It’s an exciting time in the industry and it feels like the perfect time to be unveiling Titanfall,” said Vince Zampella, a Co-Creator of Call of Duty and Co-Founder of Respawn Entertainment. “Our passion at Respawn is games and we are focused on bringing something exciting to kick off the next generation of software.”
Sounds good to us
Respawn’s Titanfall will launch sometime in 2014 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
Quite possibly the biggest piece of gaming news in recent months was the rise and fall of 38 Studios. Virtually every gaming site on the planet has covered the event that will no doubt go down in gaming history as one gigantic cluster bomb of nasty. We actually talked about it on Rated NA:60 as well as Press to Reset: 45 – Like a chainsaw wielding white knight, North Carolina based Epic Games, creators of Unreal, Gears of War, and the upcoming Fort Night, have stepped into the ring as the heroes of this once awful and depressing tale. Take a look at the latest info straight from Dr. Capps and Epic. This is just awesome.
I’ve always been a collector. For over a decade it was comics and toys, followed by DVDs and other nonsense. While I’ve cut down on the number of items I currently collect (sorry comics and toys), I do on occasion fork up good money for something truly special.
I was a colossal fan of Mass Effect 3: Multiplayer and really felt like the folks at BioWare created a truly memorable cooperative experience with almost endless replayability. When I got wind that Dragon Age: Inquisiton would have cooperative multiplayer I was instantly excited and intrigued. Scott and I made our way down to the Microsoft booth during media hour (just a few moments ago) to give Dragon Age: Inquisition Multiplayer a shot. The four player cooperative experience was just announced a few days ago and the idea of running around Thedas with friends causing trouble sounded appealing to say the least.
Super pumped for this game. I can see a lot of long nights playing round after round.
