The one person benefitting from ‘price wars’ is you, the end consumer, which is why we are happy to report that both Walmart and Best Buy are reportedly selling Microsoft’s Xbox One and Titanfall for $450; a nifty $50 slashed off the combined price of both these individually purchased products. Yes, the bundle is sweet but may not give Sony’s PlayStation 4 sleepless nights; read more to find out why.
It should be seen as no mistake that the Xbox One-exclusive game Titanfall is being promoted with a fervor more intense than essentially any other game in this generation of gaming consoles so far. This week the third of three 8-bit games for the Titanfall "8-BIT IS BETTER WITH A TITAN" collection is released, there’s free magazines and contests being held at Wal-mart, and a price-matching war is being waged at Best Buy. Do you think Microsoft wants this game to be a hero for their system?
This week at GDC 2014, NVIDIA announced that they were working with Respawn Entertainment to bring on a number of GameWorks-centric enhancements to Titanfall in the immediate future. While many top-tier games work with NVIDIA before the release of their titles, it would appear that this move is happening after-the-fact. Better late than never - this release will have upgrades that bring what NVIDIA promises will be "the best game experience possible" in all arenas.
Though we’d originally been informed that the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall would be pushed at the same time as the Xbox One version, then that it’d come a bit later in March, now it’s headed for April. This change has been made due to the Bluepoint Games development of the game not being entirely perfect before launch, moving the launch from March 25th now to April 8th. The PC (through Origin) and Xbox One versions of Titanfall have been available since March 11th, 2014.
There’s a massive Titan making its way across Germany right now in a tour that’s promoting Titanfall to the masses. As we’re suitably addicted to all things Titanfall at the moment, we decided to investigate this monster closer, finding the creator of not just this one Titan, but the other US and UK-based model as well. Here we chat with CJ Berg Theming Designer for Daniel’s Wood Land about the creation of the world’s only two life-sized Titans in existence today!
Supposing you weren’t aware that the game Titanfall had launched, you may very well be presented with acrobats or a two-story-tall mech soon to remind you. What we’re doing today is exploring in brief a number of launch measures pushed by EA Games and/or Respawn Entertainment in an effort to pump up the public about the release of Titanfall. First we’ll have a look at the London release, marked by free runners in Titanfall Pilot attire.
Some people who play the Xbox a lot enjoy plugging away and earning points to bring their GamerScore up to a high level. A gamer recently hit a milestone with a GamerScore of 1 million points. That magic one million number was hit this week.
Yesterday was the big launch of the hotly anticipated game Titanfall on the PC and Xbox One. The game will land later this month for Xbox 360 gamers. The launch of the game hasn't gone perfectly with Xbox Live going down yesterday.

Eager Titanfall gamers have seemingly overwhelmed Xbox Live, with Microsoft's online gaming service down for many players. Reports of issues signing in to Xbox Live began earlier today, with Microsoft recently confirming that it was investigating the problem. Access to the online service is required for multiplayer-only Titanfall, among other games.
Our Titanfall Review is nearly 5000 words long. It’s not your everyday average game review, and not something you’re likely to read the entirety of unless you’re either seriously torn about the game or you’re overly-obsessed. What we’re doing here in the aftermath of that article’s release is taking you down a slightly easier-to-digest path, a sort of "Titanfall for the Gamer on the Go", if you will.
Early this morning, we reported that the Titanfall goodness would be more extensive than anticipated, with live-action content being promised under a collaboration between Respawn and Playfight. Fast-forward through the day, and the teaser trailer has been unlocked, giving a look at what is coming.
While we’ll likely not be seeing Titanfall streams any earlier than Midnight PDT, Twitch has made clear that their update - allowing usage - on the Xbox One will begin to roll out at 4PM PDT. This update will allow the streaming of several - if not all - games on the Xbox One right off the bat. This update will open the Xbox One up to live streaming gaming for the first time in the console’s short history.
