Tidligere i dag kunne du lese at det ikke lot seg gjøre å flytte Titanfall 2-lanseringen til et tidsrom der det slapp å konkurrere mot de populære Battlefield- og Call of Duty-spillene, og nå svarer EA på kritikken mot lanseringstidspunktet. De er nemlig overbevist om at det var riktig å slippe det nå, for som de sier dekker spillene ulike behov i markedet. EAs Andrew Wilson sier følgende til Dualshockers:
"They fulfill very different motivations in what a player is looking for."
"We think there's really three types of players. People that really love Battlefield and that kind of big strategic gameplay that will orient in that direction; the player that loves the fast, fluid, kinetic gameplay of Titanfall 2 that really orient in that direction; and the player that just has to play the two greatest shooters this year and will buy both."
"And again, we're very very excited about the quality in both titles. We believe they both will have a long sale cycle, both this quarter through the festive season and deep into the years to come.
"And so as we think about the long game on this, we couldn't be in a better position for what we think is delivering great games to a very, very big player base."
EAs økonomisjef Blake Jorgensen er dessuten fast bestemt på at sviktende salgstall ikke har noe å si, for de har planer om å lage Titanfall-spill i mange år fremover:
"We are working with Respawn to build a franchise. This is something that we plan to be working with them on for many, many years to come, and there's huge opportunity inside of that franchise to continue to expand it," kommer det frem via Seeking Alpha.
Du som liker Titanfall 2 like godt som oss (les anmeldelsen her) trenger altså ikke å frykte seriens bortgang riktig ennå.
