Xbox One’s gotten off to a very rocky start. It’s stripped
out DRM and not exactly stellar hardware has made it the butt of many online
jokes and many of its games aren’t quite as stellar as they could be.
In walks Titanfall, a game with an interesting history as
the guys who created it once created the shooter that defined the previous
generation of games: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. They were famously ousted
by Activision as the series went into it’s downward, annual release spiral and
have since started Respawn Entertainment and gotten into bed with EA (because
Activision wasn’t bad enough, apparently).
Out of all the games shown for the new systems so far,
Titanfall has gained the most attention, probably as it’s a Xbox One exclusive
from EA, of all people. Having been invited to the closed Beta (which became an
open beta the next day for no apparent reason), I thought I’d give it a go and
see what all the hype’s about.
