Going back to the start of this year both of these games were supposed to be "the thing" for next gen consoles. You had the creators of Halo and essentially the creators of Call of duty making these new amazing shooters that were supposed to take advantage of super powerful always connected consoles and in the case of Titanfall the power of "the cloud" as Microsoft put it.
I'm just wondering now did anyone ever expect them to be as good as we were all told by activision and EA? Titanfall seems pretty much dead now on xbox, never mind the pc version. I don't know if Titanfall 2 can do something different with what is just a multiplayer shooter with big robot suits and wall jumping. Destiny by most accounts doesn't seem that much of a game with very little actual content for your money plus i don't see much of Bungie coming out and saying that dlc will add tons of new features or content, but they still want you to splash out for that season pass.
Have these games damaged the names of the studios that made them or do you think people will still wait with baited breath to hear about Titanfall 2 and the rest of Destiny's 10 year plan?
What does this mean for publishers trying to push new games into being large franchises. Perhaps EA will stick to the same old nfs, madden and fifa sequels that print money instead of spending millions to fund an online shooter that no one really cares about less than a year after launch
