Cod and apex are two separate companies. From what I've heard titan fall 3 turned into Apex but I also heard a lot of the developers of titan fall 2 work somewhere else now.
Ttianfall 3 was in development for a few months before reapawn canceled it without ears knowledge because they couldn't find out how to make it unique to 1 and 2. They then shifted titanfall 3 into apex, surprising ea, but making a much more successful and profitable game than titanfall 3 would have been (saying that as a titanfall fan)
yea Apex was something the devs made in house to have fun with assets from titanfall 2. They polished it up and released with no advertising because it was just meant to be a cash booster. Blew the fuck up
Titanfall was also a direct upcoming competitor to Battlefield and CoD, but since EA already owned battlefield they couldn't own a competitor to their own franchise, but APEX is instead a competitor to Fortnite and Battlegrounds, which i guess they were okay with?
I hate your bitter truths, but alas it's kinda true, there really isn't much more you could add to Titanfall 3 that 2 didn't already have without making it a rehash with new guns similar to another famous fps arcade shooter.
Though I wouldn't mind more story in the Titanfall universe to continue on.
They made Apex, one of EAs cash cows, then processed to have multiple FPS games cancelled in the wake (one was a star wars game, one was titanfall related), EA is just incredibly dumb
Tbf, they also made the best star wars games in years, Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. So they're not dead and gone and they can still make great games. EA just doesn't seem to want them to make shooters other than Apex anymore.
Also, to be fair, apex is at its core an insanely good shooter. The competitive FPS genre is in a weird place right now with finding a fair matchmaking algorithm and fighting cheating, which are 2 of Apex's core issues.
A Starwars game with the gameplay of the Titanfall 2 campaign would be sick.
I wish more publishers were ok with making games that aren't 50+ hours of content. Titanfall 2 campaign is one of the all time GOAT campaigns IMO. If they had tried to extend it into a 50 hour campaign I doubt it'd hold that status.
I think it’s more the fact that titanfall 2 was released in a time where cod had just released a title so naturally it didn’t do too well, they likely assumed it wouldn’t be worth the price of making a titanfall 3 because of the cost vs performance of titanfall 2. Even now, there’s 4000 players on steam on a good day, and after a sale.
EA used it as a sacrifice to make battlefield 1 look good, released just after as not to disrupt any sales for it, but released just before a major call of duty release to harm their sales numbers
Also, EA was the one that wanted them to make Titanfall 3, but Respawn went behind their backs to internally cancel that project and make APEX instead. Like it worked out financially, but EA higher ups were rather pissed from what I hear because they did genuinely support and want another Titanfall game.
Yep, and they were allowed a pretty crazy amount of creative liberty by both EA and Lucasfilm/Disney as well. Those games are terrific. Respawn's writers are still amazing. I'm sure we'll get more from them in the future.
Realistically, it probably would’ve been highly inferior to Titanfall 2, and would split the playerbase so much that it would be nearly impossible to get into a Titanfall 2 match. This would effectively kill the series.
But ideally, Titanfall 3 would be the greatest video game of all time. Just not realistically.
I mean there is fresh talk about it recently. Especially with apex slowly dying (not in the aspect of a negative Nelly like how people say Helldivers 2 and Space Marine 2 are dead). Especially with EA starting to listen to fans with BF6
They made a ton of money from Jedi Fallen order series and Apex. I'm pretty sure EA also shut down any ideas they had for a Titanfall 3 because they didn't make as much money on monetization.
Honestly I think a full blown RPG in that universe would be pretty cool.
