No! More 3 things are also needed.1)Titanfall 2 needs a great single player mode with amazing story and depth.2)Titanfall 2 needs to be on all the consoles.3)Last but not the least, Titanfall 2 needs to use the ultra visionary Frostbite 3 engine to make the visuals stunning.

Because Microsoft TOTALLY hasn’t been in deep discussion about discontinuing the Xbox brand under its new management.

If you’re gonna point out one end (let alone make up a number out of your ass) at least touch the other side too. Sony’s losses are purely from its horribly-priced TV market, a fact that’s been known for years. The PlayStation brand has end over end improved and even surpassed the Xbox revenues since either 2008 or 2009 (I can’t recall which year it was, forgive me).

Neither brand will go away until the end of the gen at the earliest, and based on both brands’ current success, neither is going to at all.

As for Titanfall 2, EA WILL lean Sony if the sales gap keeps growing, because EA is a money-grubbing company. But since Sony’s server farms have been increasing too (not to the extent of Azure, but looking at how Titanfall’s launch crashed all of XBL for a few days and messed up Forza of all things, an interconnected server farm may not be the best solution anyway), the safe bet is that Titanfall 2 will utilize both platforms’ dedicated servers – to a lesser extent, as EA will likely insist on using Origin servers for a lot of the matchmaking.

In reply to kevin. I personally think they should have just went on ahead and bought Respawn. This is the reason why I now fear what will happen with Remedy since they haven't exactly locked them up either. Alan Wake is safe I'm guessing, but nothing would stop Sony from convincing them to bring their games over to PS4. I mean this is a business after all and deals always get done.

In reply to kingraven24. You made some very valid points all across the board. If they actually added most of this stuff to Titanfall as is, then that would be perfect. I think EA would most certainly want to explore other consoles with Titanfall 2 regardless of how well the cloud features work. Case in point, look at the Mass Effect Trilogy and the fact that it's on the PS3 now. That's something to definitely think about moving forward.

In reply to Deadred. I agree. We will have to see what happens over the next few months.

Not sure what the comments are saying, but 1) new gametypes/modes are coming SOON with Titanfall in a free update, 2) Respawn have said they are considering more titans but they require sensible reasons to include so balancing stays in-tact, 3) personalization is likely coming in a future update (but could end up not coming until much later or at all depending on whether the team deemed it necessary to add in ever with the first title of the alleged franchise), 4) neither EA nor Respawn Entertainment have made any mention or confirmation of future titles – not that I think they won’t do “Titanfall 2”, but EA is not yet the publishing company. That is all just a rumor at this point. Lastly, 5) 12v12 as-is would be messy but Respawn did go on record to say that they may adjust player counts in future updates to support more players per game. Some maps definitely would fit 7v7 or 8v8, but others may not be so well adjusted so 8v8 is likely the max they’ll consider for the current iteration of Titanfall and I think it would still keep the balance pretty decent.
I do believe they can do more with the campaign aspect, but this game seriously concerns me going over to Sony as they don’t have the infrastructure to support a game of this magnitude AND other games at the same time. I’m referring to the fact that Microsoft’s Azure/Xbox Live is hosting the matches and doing all the backend stuff for the online maintenance. Sony didn’t invest much into that end. Gaikai’s acquisition is a drop in the pond compared to Azure and Sony is really trying to go other places with the service. Could be a disaster and Respawn would have to spend their own money to setup a server farm to host the games on Sony’s end. Not saying they wouldn’t, but they sure will hate having to cater for Sony when the Microsoft platforms literally allow them to be hands-off on the hosting side of things (something that is a blessing for devs). In the meantime, I’m still digging Titanfall but I look forward to the first wave of DLC and updates to expand the game that was considered unfinished because EA rushed it out the door like they do EVERYTHING ELSE.

Most of these can easily be added to the current titanfall. Don’t see why we have to wait for the second one.

In reply to David Jagneaux. That's what they were saying about Titanfall 1 and then boom, Never coming to PS4 Ever. I hope it happens again for Titanfall 2 because I believe it will make Titanfall 2 a better game by allowing Respawn to focus development and utilize Microsoft's superior Azure servers.

In reply to David Jagneaux. You maybe right , but from now till the time of titian fall 2 release anything can happen . Myself personally hope MS , does one of two things 1-Buys Respawn 2- is able to wrangle publishing rights away from EA.

In reply to kevin. Doubtful, Titanfall 2 will more than likely be on Sony platforms.

Exclusivity to Xbox one and PC again and a few of those concepts you mentioned .
