What with Gamescom undwerway, lots of games are being shown and available for punters to play. One of which is Respawn’s Titanfall. Considering the fucking idiotic stance by their lead artist, that the titular Titans “aren’t mecha“, we’re very skeptical about how the (very obviously) mecha section of the game will play out. The new footage (shown below) again emphasises this “seamless transition” between Titan and human control – in short, the mecha basically play like people. Weirdly, the on foot mechanics look far more interesting and we’re very keen to try out all the wall jumping and the displayed Titan follow mode looks suitably neat too. In any case, we’ll be picking this up on release and giving it a good once over.

Would you be as skeptical if they didn’t say they weren’t mechs.
Yes, as the base mecha movement looks very similar to the on foot stuff (bar the parkour boosting, though the mecha have dashes it seems). The fact that they think they aren’t mecha helps to explain that.
Is that bad?
Yeah
Ok.
