Of course Geoff Keighley posts this in response.

Now people are thinking that recent GeForce Now leak was real, but iirc Nvidia said it was a combination of known and speculative titles, and I thought TF3 was firmly in the latter category.

Aw jeez this is just mean if they don't actively have TF3 in development.

In 2 years there will be another apex character released who is the third cousin twice removed of Slone, there will be another free 3 day weekend on Titanfall 2 but will only be playable for 12 non-consecutive hours of the 72 hours due to DDoS attacks.

It will be the largest spike in Titanfall 2's playerbase in years.

I mean, they probably aren’t working on it, but it’s also the cornerstone of their Universe and clearly a passion-project for the executives. That’s better than waiting for some bean-counters to say that engagement is high enough to warrant an exploratory focus group to investigate the viability of second sequel...

I guess this clip is floating around today. Respawn community manager saying don’t get your hopes up for any new Titanfall. Kind of figures. He does clarify they are working on some type of fix for the DDOS but I’m sure that’s not really a priority.

Edit: I also think a lot of the people in the “Titanfall community” are over dramatic and a lot of their posts are pure cringe so I don’t endorse whatever this Twitter person is saying. I think you just have to be realistic about an almost 5 year old game that didn’t sell well to begin with that has a niche fan base.

Agreed. First Titanfall handled that brilliantly for both pilots and titans. Also had a burn card for ultra stim :twisted:

Was also really satisfying when someone was going wild with a very rare burn card and you finally kill them and get the satisfying notification that you took that out as well. I know they were a contentious aspect of the game but I liked how they mixed things up, such as people starting the match in titans or someone having a card that auto-hacked nearby spectres to slowly build a little robot army following them around or camo so they mixed in with the AI. Was hoping Titanfall 2 would expand on that even more, not ditch it :(

burn cards would have been bad if they didn't hand them out like candy. If you actually played frequently, it actually became annoying to have to keep weeding out your library from poo poo that you never use - would have been nice if you could flag a given type of card for "auto-sell" and just click the auto-sell button every time you got another pack. cause given how freely they handed them out, unless you actively made sure to use all your cards every round, pretty soon you'd end up hitting the inventory limit.

I'd like to add EVA-8 to this too, it was way overpowered early in the game's life and pre-patch I killed so, so many pilots with it due to the spread, speed and power of the thing. You didn't have to be point blank and you didn't have to be super accurate whilst flinging yourself around the levels so it just chewed through pilots.

Awoo.


The EVA-8 was perfect on a chunk of the maps that had denser pilot routes, just like Titanfall 1. Rise was always a CAR map for me, Angel City was EVA-8.

What made EVA-8 busted early in TF2 was how Cloak would only reveal for a moment on shooting, and Tactikill recharging it for infinite free unseen murder. Both got nerfed.

EVA-8 was the worst on TF1 for PC because they were never able to balance the weapon. On consoles it was fine, but on PC with m+kb it was an instajib. You either ran EVA-8 with stim or you got merc’d every 60 seconds.

Scared the crap out of some pilot that was stuck in a dual with a teammate. Dudes were going back and forth for like a minute trying to shoot each other and I ran up and executed the guy with Inner Pieces.

Said he screamed when his character unexpectedly exploded.

Apex dropped a small story that actually references Titanfall pilots (and includes a passing shot of an Titan)

Check it out here: https://youtu.be/JRRJQp2Bdwo

It also clears up any confusion with the planet Gridiron, spoiler: the whole planet is carpet-bombed.

Reinstalled on my PS5. Was super disappointed to see that the attacks are still persistent and the games are laggy as poo poo. Did pretty good surprisingly even with all the rubber banding. Un-installed after one game and mourned in silence :(

I had Titan fall 2 both on ps4 and Xbox. Uninstalled them both after all of these recent activity. And I think I played it for another 60 hours back in 2020 thanks to covid keeping us all inside. We just need a Titan fall 3 but that's gonna be a while off if it ever happens.

Its a shame that Apex gave us more Titanfall universe while also absolutely guaranteeing that we wouldnt see a real titanfall game again because it wont make as much money.

They need to ride the Apex wave and make tf3 with characters from the game instead of regular pilots. Just have the mechs sort of look like them and have upgraded abilities/ passives

I like what I played of Apex way back when and I'm glad for Respawn, but I really don't like its aesthetic (especially after cosmetic unlocks) and hope it doesn't carry into an eventual Titanfall 3.

Titanfall's atmosphere wasn't super gritty, but it was definitely more defined and rough than Apex, lose that and it really wouldn't be the same.

They also briefly had wallrunning in an Apex event. Mechanically it worked fine but it was nowhere near as fun without the levels designed for it.

This is pretty much what the TF2 story
ending was implying:

Jack Cooper murdered all of Blisk's elite pilots. Blisk starts the Apex games to find the best and most intelligent fighters to replace his stock.

His mercenary squad is literally called The Apex Predators.

If/when TF3 happens, I imagine we'll see the results of the Apex games. Unless it's the story of Gridiron.

Sounds like some overwatch hero shooter type thing that I’m sure they could pull off but I’d prefer a titanfall 3 be more in line with its current tone (also we are never getting a third one)
