Respawn dev says studio morale is at an all-time low without elaborating

good

Remember when EA published their game, and then let it come out the same week as Battlefront so sales would be cannibalized, and then they bought the studio shortly after.

I hope Cal & Merrin's third game will still turn out good

Good, good.

I muted the muskman and I left xitter at some point because of american politics on my feed (I'm not a burger)
But they've somehow done a good job at making sure my For You tab only contains shit I care about so I went back
Remove political posts from leftsky and all that remains is boring shit

Reminder that Respawn are the parts of Infinity Ward that split off after MW2 internal controversy from Activision screwing them over. Infinity Ward itself was born.. of ex-EA devs that didn't like their executive bullshit after they made the Medal of Honor games. They straight up went flying right back into their former tormentors and got sent to the BR slave mines.

I wouldn't be happy either making bottom of the barrel Star Wars slop

Be honest, you really want another Titanfall in this day and age? The fact that 2 was as good as it was, was a legit miracle

fucking this
if a new titanfall game were to exist they would find a way to introduce gaypex lore faggotry back into this new titanfall game and would you want that?

as soon as apex was announced i knew they would die

I mean, they had a third game planned. And it was gonna be some female teen genius engineer protag who found BT and repaired him as her personal companion before getting Pilot capabilities and shit. They were going to turn it into "A girl and her [x]" sci-fi shooter crap, does anyone really want that just to have a TF3?

BONUS: The former IW employees went back to IW at some point, so there's not even that going for respawn.

I wish they had kept support for titanfall 2 for more than 2 days. Barely any updates, that game had such fucking potential.

I liked Jedi Survivor, but I think the game requires you to use the lightsaber stances that can stun bosses or eat red hits at high levels.

Didn't the credits of TF2 already imply that Cooper was fixing BT?

Basically everything Respawn has tried to make aside from Jedi and that medal of honor VR throwaway has been shot before it could become anything.

Titanfall spinoff game in pre-production

Another Titanfall spinoff described as "Doom Eternal X Tony Hawk"

They're not allowed to anything but continue pumping out Apex, which is old and tired, and Jedi, which DESU is the least interesting thing they've ever made. And they've been bleeding talent like crazy the whole time, both from firings and people just willingly leaving to do something else. I'd be more surprised if morale was high.

No self-preservation instinct.

What about 2 was good? Removing the playable IMC faction was a horrible omen as is.

arent the jedi survivor games pretty successful for how obviously low effort they are?

>Mandalorian shooter described as a "stylish action FPS"

I'm still shocked about this one considering that Mando was objectively the biggest home run nuStar Wars had

What about 2 was good?

people were calling the campaign the best since half life 2
which it was good, but not amazing. but everyone shat their pants over the time travel level and the ikea level

Half of the factions you can choose are either IMC contractors or literally the IMC itself.

this. i will not buy your game if any important people on the dev team use troonsky.

The campaign was actually fun, the gameplay is smooth, and Titans are still cool

not 1

not 2

4 cancelled titanfall games

kek

The post credits scene implied that BT backed up a copy of himself or at some part of him into Cooper's helmet

It was pretty incredible, best and most accessible movement in any FPS ever. The only arguably bad level it has is the ship chase level which is such an incredible spectacle visually that it makes up for it. Gameplay's all about combining movement and cloak to hit and run and it's simple but a ton of fun for a shooter like that. As those linear setpiece-laden shooters go I think it's easily the best there is.

need more DEI money I guess

without elaborating

dude, they've been permanently assigned to make shitty forgettable star wars games. no elaboration needed lol

shoutout to that one idiot youtuber who went out and said "apex didn't kill titanfall it saved respawn"

Your first mistake was trusting EA. They make it a game to find ways to kill your studio.

and let's not forget TWO games cancelled in one year due to massive EA layoffs

The third Jedi game being cancelled would make my year

All they have to do is make t3 multiplayer only again it can't be that hard

bsky

deserved
hope whatever they're doing flops

This is basically the entire western AAA landscape right now.
I'm fine with it, the AAA industry can die for all I care.
I'll stick to my comfy AA and indie games.

I don't even think it needed a sequel. Like the first game was fine enough, whatever, just some pair of jedis out there in the wild, no need to resolve it. But then they had to make a sequel and not only make it perform absolutely terribly across all hardware, but it didn't really do anything that mattered either. No one talks about the sequel worth a damn now, they still just remember the first game.

elon relax you still have majority market share you don't have to sperg out like this

meds pronto

Made me genuinely sad. The shooters they announce SOUND really cool the way the developers talk about them and then they fucking kill them and the developers leave.

APEX is done, i see ZERO people talking about it. Game is pure trash, tick rate shit, they had to nerf AA to try and draw back players and it didnt work

i have no idea who they are or what games they released in the last years, but any layoff is good news

should've nerfed aim assist fucking ages ago when it was obvious that it wasn't worth competing in as a mouse player

or better yet release a new game

How can you say that? Their families need to eat.

lol these devs don't have kids

they're based in LA
they got mortgages to pay
they'll worry about getting fucked in the ass in the future

Sadly, most of the retro gaming scene moved there, especially Jason Scott.
The thing I hate the most about Bluesky is how much it compresses images and video. Dunno how Mastodon handles those.

Here's hoping for their eventual death.

In hindsight Apex Legends was a curse to them. funny considering at one point it was their savior after Titanfall 2 flopped.

Jason Scott

Who?

Not as successful as Fallen Order was though.

EA wanted them to make a Titanfall game. They made Apex themselves. It killed all of their future shooter output.

Imagine starting a dev team under EA, Activision, or Ubisoft and expecting anything to go well for you
lmao

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Scott

more like Despawn lol

Respawn was the one that decided on the Titanfall 2 release date

Refused EA's offer for Titanfall 3 greenlight for some reason

Apex Legends was Respawn's idea

Their predicament appears to be self-inflicted.

How do companies with no real measure of success continue to survive? Or are people still buying EA slop en masse?

Good. I hope they get shut down. Titanfall 3 will never get made for as long as they exist.

Isn't one of the co-founders still at EA? And isn't the other one at Epic Games?

Their entire company is being carried by football fans, and the Sims.

Apex's income is at an all time low and no content released has managed to reverse that trend.

Their DUDE BALL SPORT games still print money and will continue to do so.

Yeah, Vince Zampella is overseeing the new Battlefield game atm.

Or are people still buying EA slop en masse?

People are still buying FIFA en-masse. Everything gets butchered because it isn't making FIFA money. Their measure of success is the actual retard genre.

faggotsky

he is part of the problem

????

and got sent to the BR slave mines

No they didn't. They chose this path themselves. EA was fully committed to funding a Titanfall 3 and was actually confused when they pitched a battle royale game instead.

Then they deserve negative sympathy and deserve to die. I'm willing to believe this random post, the company seems pretty retarded.

FIFA dude
its one of the best selling games and they're making another identical one every year thats also filled up the ass with microtransactions/gambling

Of course it's sportsfags, I should have known

Thank god we have blue sky so we can differentiate faggots from non faggots

combined forced mech game

I'm fine with that. It's usually just tankniggas who want their equal attention award anyway. It's okay for a mech game to just be about piloting mechs.
I can accept them as an npc or enemy role however.

It's crazy that they are strangling their own golden goose with woke shit. They diluted the gacha pool with female players and forced mixed teams, and what do you know, the profits plummeted hard.

Maybe Californian bluesky bluehairs are going to do something nice for the industry and kill this moron genre once and for all.
I'm not going to say following sports for retards. I get it, it's a social vehicle, good icebreaker and excuse to hang out with buddies. But if you play sports videogames you are retarded and a complete negative on videogames as a whole.

I'd also be miserable if I had to work on Apex fucking Legends

Plenty of faggots still keep using Twitter.

Titanfall 2 was a boring COD clone. Why would you want a sequel?

I still do playthroughs occasionally, it is by no means amazing, but it's better than most FPS singleplayer campaigns post 2010.

no one wants to sponsor new titanfall now that xbox is dead lol

the guy who runs EAs studios is from respawn, its not like they lost control.

The funniest part is those star wars games were intended to be the 'souls like' of star wars games.
EA is utterly creatively bankrupt.

Fun fact: The PS2 has such a high lifetime sales figure because third worlders kept buying FIFA games for decades after the PS2 was discontinued in the civilized world

how did they cancel a mandalorian shooter? titanfall movement and gunplay mixed with star wars would seem like a license to print money

The fuck are you on pedosky for you disgusting fucking groomer?

Yeah, I would be depressed too

work under EA

have to make zoomer slop

have to make anti-skill FPS games

Just quit and make AA games with bros, that's what all the good devs are doing anyway. If you're still working for AAA companies at this point it's cause you don't have the skills to cut it out in the jungle with the alphas.

Can’t blame them. Forced to slave away on a live service game year after year. EA will never approve Titanfall 3 because it’s not live service slop and can’t effortlessly be farmed to the bone. Game industry is quite grim right now. And then the solo games that do get made like Avowed and AC:Shadows are ass.

Probably pays well.
Rock and a hard place moment.
