And Then There Was Titanfall...

   Speaking of shooters, there's another one coming to the market when the Xbox One launches, and it's aiming to make a name for itself, and prove that it can compete with the biggest and baddest. Titanfall. Jason West and Vince Zampella, who were former co-founders of Infinity Ward, decided to move on after their conundrum with Activision, and created Respawn Entertainment. They are set out to prove that Call of Duty's success wasn't just a fluke, and that they can do it again on their own terms. Titanfall definitely looks promising, and already has the buzz around it to help make it a successful I.P. With a balanced blend of infantry and mech warfare, it shows there's still a lot of creativity to be had in the shooter genre; being able to deploy your mech in battle and hop in and out on the fly looks really fun, especially since the combat inside the mechs will be fast paced like its infantry counterpart. They have been working to make sure that combat between the two are balanced as well, giving infantry access to little tricks like parkour style wall-running, a pack that allows you to double jump for hard to reach locations, and even the ability to cloak yourself for a short period of time. Mechs will have the ability to catch bullets and rockets, and launch them back to the opposing shooter, they can rip pilots out of the cockpits of enemy mechs, and if things don't go your way, you have the ability to eject yourself from your mech and try to get a lucky landing on the back of an enemy, before you get shot out of the sky. It's moments like that, that will keep people coming back for more. When the Xbox One releases on November 22nd, we'll see how this game stacks up to the rest of the flooded shooter genre.
