If released today this game could break records, I'm sure of that.

Effect and Cause is legitimately one of the best missions in any FPS game to this day

You forgot to mention when Respawn edged us for 2 months then it resulted in a small patch but really advertising for an Apex hero who ate a titan battery and became magical. Arguably the biggest gut punch for me as a hardcore fan.

I think it was released in a time where gamers weren’t as committed to mastering a game, whereas nowadays if titanfall was released I reckon it would have a more standing community

Titan fall 3 could drop as a free to play multiplayer with a $60 story and literally both the greedy corporations and community would be happy

Guys! This is a modern day video on Titanfall, released 10ish hours ago. 10-1 = 9! Then you take that 9 and divide it by 3, you get wait for it.... 3! Titanfall 3 is coming y'all it's confirmed fr fr! But on a serious note the story of Titanfall is the most heartbreaking story out there, but at least we have 2 in the end.

It was definitely odd it was multiplayer only, but the 'campaign lobbies' in titanfall were actually kind of a cool gimmick. Picking a faction and playing against people who chose the other, fighting for your story progression created extra rivalry.

I just played Titanfall 2 for the first time last week and WOW! Legit one of the best campaigns I have ever played. I would love to see another Titanfall happen at some point, but it just seems so unlikely. I would also fear that with how predatory monetization has become in not just F2P games, but any game, that Titanfall 3 would succumb to the same issue as Apex: more focus on cosmetics and less on the actual game.

I can see titan with a helldivers vibe making a huge comeback lol

I got to try out Titanfall 2 when it came on ps plus and immediately I couldn't realizewhy ea would cannibalize themselves like that

Titanfall died because of apex legends it makes no sense for EA to make another Titanfall game when they already have a successful cash cow set in the same universe

I still get genuinely sad thinking about BT 😭

A tragedy truly, please titanfall 3 soon 😞

I never seen such an amazing community for a single game

Man....that ending will forever make me cry 😢 miss you BT couldn't have done it without you. o7

I think the reason people keep saying "gaming is dead" every other year is because of situations like this, where a franchise that basically raised a generation of budding gamers dies and the emotional weight of the death feels as heavy as the entire industry of gaming itself. Gaming is art, and art is infinite, but I understand the sentiment. This feels like gaming just lost a vital organ.

Apex has delved so far from Titanfall that I'm so fucking ASHAMED to even have it even an ATOM related to it

Man The worst part about the titanfall situation is nobody else has made any shooter remotely close to it in how it's movement is balanced. I just want a FPS game where proficiency with a mechanic like movement that is more important than shooting. Because the skills for FPS shooting are universal between all FPS games, and it's really fucking boring at this point. Every FPS game I've seen try to emphasize some other skillset STILL has shooting as the MOST important skill. If someone is better at clicking on a head than you are, you're going to lose, regardless of how well you've planned, or used your abilities, or budgeted, or done whatever extra mechanics they've placed on top of this one primary, nearly identical mechanic all these games place above everything else in their balance. But in titanfall if you're significantly better at movement and prediction and engagement than your opponent then the difference between your shooting skills almost doesn't matter in most fights, and I haven't found any other FPS games that have any mechanic or balancing like that, which really sucks.

brink gets brought up surprisingly little in talks about Titanfall/Apex or movement shooters in general

It's criminal that Respawn let the hackers win and let Titanfall 1 and 2 die like they did. its upsetting.

Pretty shocked that this video wasnt from some huge channel. Great storytelling, hope you go far!

"Acctivision" in this story is acctully simply the one and only Bobby Kotick.

The only thing I didn't like about titanfall was that the maps felt too small for mech battles, I hope somone makes a spiritual successor to Battlefield 2142 with awesome mech battles and large battlefield maps and titan fights. Also a sci fi war thunder would be sick.

as a member of the team fortress community who only just found our brothers of the same tf2 title, you guys need your own #savetf2, hell the team fortress community is about to do another one, you need our persistence despite your smaller community and playerbase, you could make a difference although i cant figure out if that's harder to get with EA or VALVe.

Titanfall is the shooter we need, not just another battleroyale shooter where characters with special abilities fight it out in an arena littered with loot. Cod is just the same game again and again. No movement shooters where the movement is just climbing and weird octane strafing. No we need fun shooters again, little monitization, a fun and consistent loop that doesn't drag the player through the mud just to get good enough to compete at the lowest tiers

If there is a titan fall 3 I don’t want the annoying personality’s of the apex legends characters, and I wanna be Able to fire my titans rocket pads while I’m shooting its gun

I love this series so much. There's something really special about it, which I'm glad you elaborate on in this video. Great work, G!

I bought and played it for the first time yesterday. Needless to say it quickly took the number one spot on favorite game of all time

Armored core 6 was a fantastic game but it was missing one key thing and that was the humans. Without the humans the Mechs didn't feel like these giant walking machines.

Underrated channel, keep it up, I love this sort of content!

Great video. Subscribed immediately after. Titanfall is my dream game and it hurts not knowing what is next.

For a series I care little for, your videos are great.

Because EA hates good games.

Wow, well done Gregor and team. Again and again, you guys pump out top-notch content and it's always a blast to enjoy. Many thanks.

One of my all time fave FPS games. Titanfall 2 was a masterpiece

Respawn: "We can't count to 3" Valve: "Welcome to the club brothta"

I can't believe you make videos of this quality and your audience is still small enough that you can respond to all comments. I don't care about any of the games you talk about enough to play them, I'm not even really an FPS or multiplayer person, but you're always able to present an engaging narrative about them that I love hearing.

I remember how excited I was getting my Xbox one in middle school. It came with Titanfall and I put so many hours in

New subscriber!!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😩😩✊🏿 absolute poetic telling of the titanfall story such an underrated IP this was incredible my friend

Great video! This channel is going places

I loved this game wish they made a 3rd one

"Jack, are you there?"

Amazing video. Really highlights the feelings of the fans.

But even after all that the Titanfall 2 community made north star to avoid the hackers and ddos attacks that respawn ignored

I’m so grateful my friend told me to get Titan fall two on release day. I was like no I’m gonna get a battlefield one and he said the same thing that BT said he said trust me I truly have some of the best online gaming memories from Titan 2 also the story mode was incredibly well-made, I’ll just truly never understand why EA decided to release Titan fall two during the two biggest game launches of the century. They really shot themselves in the head with that one.

Btw where did you find the artwork used at 15:50 ? It looks so cool oml

oh snap this channel knows about DeFRaG

One of the greatest FPS title that I have ever played. BT, you will be missed my old friend.

whats the song at 14:25?

3:35 one of the first movies where Parkour played a major role was the French movie Yamakasi (2001). It also has a great hip-hop soundtrack.

Omg i did a video on this too, absolutely love your take on the events of titanfall, great vid! ❤

was this channel promoted on the main one? i think i missed it

Kind of wish we could still play Brink

Gregor? I had no idea you had a second channel unrelated to siege, i am definitely watching more.

babe wake up new couch co op

strange timing as i just started playing again last night

Titanfall 1 was the first multiplayer shooter I ever played and seeing how the Titanfall brand has turned into a shitty battle royal is the most depressing shit ever

Apex Legends was leaked on Reddit quite a while before it actually released but nobody cared at all for whatever reason.

Played Titan Fall 2's campaign. I was hoping for a continuation.. But looks like it won't be happening after all these years.

Honestly though has a single holistically excellent AAA game come out since TTF2? I don't think even Elden Ring or BG3 count as that.

Another problem with Titanfall 1 and 2 multiplayer was that there wasn't much competition. If you wanted to win, you just killed all the noobs and ignored the better players. If you called in a Titan, you went for the easy kills, and evaded the other Titans most of the time.

Mirrors edge is one of my favourite games of all time. What was really cool was when you disarmed someone you had no idea how much ammo the gun had and you may get half a clip or nothing so you were heavily incentivised to keep moving.

The recent Apex Alter cinematic has too many Titanfall elements in close proximity to be a coincidence. One can hope.

I consider myself a titanfall 1 and 2 vet, and although I absolutely love the mechanics, the gamemodes were the downfall of this game. They had a great concept of contrasting fast paced pilot gameplay, with slow paced titan gameplay but they failed create a decent way to mix the two by forcing them into known call of duty game modes. Titanfall needs its own flagship game mode for people to fully embrace the game, almost like how the payload game mode represents tf2/Overwatch and their identity.

In all honesty. Titanfall could have easily been the new battlefield or planetside game. EA could have kept Battlefield as good old Battlefield for the OG battlefield fans and used the Titanfall franchise as their BF:2042/2142 canvas, that way the whole futuristic scifi vibe of 2042/2142 wouldnt seem as completely out of place or weird as it did and players got more choice based on their personal preferences. OG BF fans got their OG BF franchise and futuristic shooter fans got their Titanfall and i'm 1000% sure OG BF fans would have been all over both games and would love the hell out of both of them. Im sure a lot of BF fans loved Titanfall but as usual, in typical EA fashion. They fumbled the bag so badly with Titanfall. It could have been so much more than what it ended up being. Titanfall could have been one of the biggest franchises next to Battlefield.

You also left out rocket jumping. Mirrors edge also wasn't the first to utilize certain mechanics you showed. Daggerfall actually would be the first first person rpg game to utilize wall climbing and Ninja Garden sequels for PS2 along with other games utilized wall running in the game. In fact Tenchu revolutionized a lot of the things seen in modern games also including some AI behavior.

Since I didn't get to experience Titanfall, this reminds me more of HAWKEN.. it had mechs, lots of em

Loved Titanfall 1, Titanfall 2 made it even better; these two games killed my years-long CoD addiction. Then PUBG weaned me off traditional FPS games, and Apex Legends weaned me off the Titanfall universe completely with its cheesiness and happy-go-lucky anything-goes vibe. Now, 8 years after all this change began, I don’t really game like I used to. No more Xbox Live, now I’m mobile and Steam. No more paid DLC and quarterly updates. Far fewer FPS games, and no online multiplayer FPS games. But if they dropped Titanfall 3 tomorrow, I would go right back to that series in a heartbeat.

In the middle of the video, I got an ad for Call of Duty Black Ops 6. What are the odds of that?

I feel like one of the best things that respawn/ea could do is just say titanfall 3 is not in the works and won’t be for the foreseeable future, however we haven’t forgotten and until then we will keep 2 running.

Thank you for mentioning Brink. God I miss that game.

Titanfall and BF4 were my last FPS to play online. I started to have wrists pain (my doctor kept telling me that it was not carpal tunnel), but with the deah of Titan Fall 1 and the BR and lootbox everywhere, I feel like I would have stopped playing FPS daily anyways. I already stopped playing CoD after MW3, and BO2 made changes I didn't like. I don't recognize the online FPS anymore. It's just junk. I still play games, using a controller and keeping it to single-player only so I can play and pause to avoid the pain to come. So yeah, I still purchased TitanFall 2, but only for the single-player campaign, and it was worth it.

i'm less worried about respawn abandoning it, at more worried about respawn being shut down and ea sitting on top of it until the rest of time. i think they'll find their footing, and eventually make something that can live up to titanfall 2, but it's not easy to make a masterpiece

Yeah, but what if we make battle royale in Titanfall universe, only... remove titans and wall running, and make it just as as everything else? Genius , i know, right? Why not make it a fight for two titans in the middle of the map or something, and you need to find a key to unlock them or something like that. But nah, just forget about it.

The games began to become overrun with cheaters once pc cross play became a thing?? No way, must be a crazy coincidence

Great video, very well narrated. I'm a bit confused by the name of the channel, tbh. I expected different content from the topics I see on your channel.

Gregor? Huh what a surprise

This makes me so sad, I love titanfall, it’s by far my favorite franchise. I am not a fan of Apex. I tried it and didn’t like it. But I constantly go back to titanfall 2. The third installment could’ve been a masterpiece. I feel so sad knowing that it will never be.

Didn't think I'd hear about Brink again, I got it with my xbox360 and it was pretty fun

Titanfall 2 was one of my favorite FPS games I ever played! The campaign was cool and the multiplayer was way more fun than I thought it was going to be. I never played Apex Legends. I wasn't a participant in the Battle Royale craze that was going on at the time. I just took Apex's release as a follow-up to the next Titanfall game. But when more and more expansions for Apex kept coming out, I realized there was a huge possibility that Respawn might be done with that side of the universe. It's a shame. I did enjoy that little resurgence Titanfall 2 had for a while. All those people who ONLY played Apex Legends but NEVER played Titanfall 2 were surprised how good, if not better it was.

Titans kinda play like an overwatch character, a larger than life friend with abilities and slower movement, and the short transition time between swapping those conditions keeps the loop fresh and fun Titans more so focus around strategy and aim, versus the pilot reaction time and movement, then keeping both gameplay modes in the same match where both a titan is a real threat to a pilot, but a pilot Is severe threat to a titan. Perfectly tying both gameplay styles together.

This made me sad...

issue is movement shooters just never last. regardless of flavour they get abandoned by publishers but there is a die hard community who play them. it's just tiny and not enough to keep the game afloat

G you genuinely make some of my favorite content on yt.

If titanfall 3 ever rolls around I hope they give the titans more weight and power in their movement. TF2 rocks but the mechs feel light and floaty both observing and piloting them

If titan fall incorporated some of Helldivers 2 multiplayer mechanics, it would take over the FPS multiplayer genre.

12:28 "But something was different". That is EXACTLY why Pacific Rim felt so good. Jagers weren't slow and clunky robots, but they weren't necessarily agile like Transformers. But I am still waiting for the day a film entirely focuses on these more... plausible closeness to a Mecha that isn't really a Jager.

Id like to see TF as a live action film or series.

This game hurts. So good and I just don’t see it being fixed or saved.

when i read the Title i was like: wait! again?

FYI lots of people are also dissatisfied with the smart pistol, it's a broken weapon that made me and many others to lose interest in Titanfall as a whole.

I remember at the time of the legal drama battle of them with Activision, the media reporting leaked parts of legal documents. On them had the terms of the EA acquisition deal with Respawn. There was clauses stating the final purchasing price would be determined by the commercial performance of TitanFall 2. If it sold more EA would have to pay more for them. So EA sabotaged TitanFall 2 by sandwiching it between the biggest FPS franchise on the market. There are records of Vincent saying Respawn chose that release window, but for me this is just PR speak to save face since there would be no point of antagonizing his parent company anymore (and he obviously had plans to avoid other studios fate by integrating it as a essential part of EA at all levels, he is part of the board of directors now). Them they did Apex as a smaller project to try to surf on the battle royale bandwagon. If it had flopped I'm sure EA would have greenlit a TitanFall 3 to take Medal of Honor and Battlefront place on their goals of having a big FPS each year or close like COD. But Apex was a major hit. The current live service model became the norm for on-line PVP games (and EA never liked doing SP content anyway) so we are stuck here. Until the market shift again and Apex starts to lose traction. Maybe them they will consider it.

I always HATED the wall running feature of Titanfall. Even stupider is not starting in a titan by default.

I'm sad to see we'll never get a Titanfall 3, many are as all would know. Edit: By the way there is a Titanfall VR coming, it's called Wavefront. Check it out!

There is a game being developed called Wavefront, it's supposed to eventually become a VR Titanfall.

Still nobody talks that you need to grind to get top tier in war thunder

They questions is still unanswered

I remember 2021 to 2022, titanfall 2 on xbox was actually unplayable and literally not a single online match was played. Thank god for private matches, which single handedly kept the game alive and the only places hackers could rarely touch

Had a lot of fun playing it last night. as far as the band. Apex is still hella popular, right?
