The thing I'm most unsure about is whether Titanfall's crazy speed and acrobatics would make for a good BR. If you can wallrun but there's only occasional buildings or cliffs to run on, it becomes moot. But then again, what makes BR exciting in the first place is the slow buildup, the tactical battles, the stealth. Turning it into a game where everyone runs at 80mph and jumps 300 feet while shooting rockets and shotties in people's face sounds bizarre, and they'd have to have a HUGE map to accomodate the traversal with that many players. Of course the game could be slower, less acrobatic and such, but with the game already taking out titans, why call it Titanfall besides brand recognition at that point?
Either way, we'll see in a couple hours, hopefully the game isn't too big because I'd love to download it and play it in time later tonight.
I can almost guarantee that they won't have it available to play today on consoles and that it'll only be an announcement. I read somewhere else they're talking about an April 2nd release date. This is definitely the kind of game that needs a beta to make sure everything works and Respawn hasn't launched a game without a beta yet. We might get a beta but I don't think it'll be today. Again, I hope I'm wrong!
