????《泰坦隕落》擯棄了單機戰役模式，一舉突破了射擊游戲類的傳統。它僅僅著眼于多人游戲。這款游戲也在其接近未來的戰場上推出了動態過程迥異的游戲玩法，允許扮演突擊飛行精英的玩家在地面上施展類似跑酷風格的飛檐走壁和雙跳打技能。玩家也可以操控全副武裝、身高24英尺的“泰坦”巨人，引領這些要么屬于星際制造公司(Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation)，要么屬于民兵(Militia)的戰神跟隨團隊突破戰區。無縫地跳入、跳出這些泰坦的能力為日益擁擠但利潤豐厚的射擊類游戲引入了全新的戰術和戰略。

????“開發這款游戲就是為了突破自我，我們不想做與以前的產品相類似的東西，”贊佩拉說?！啊短┨闺E落》的玩法更加垂直。這些飛行員都非常敏捷，能夠飛檐走壁，跳得更高，還可以跟這些泰坦合為一體。泰坦巨人就是玩家的延伸，這是一種外骨骼風格?！?/p>

????有機會通過媒體發布會和在線公測玩《泰坦隕落》的各路評論人都大愛這款游戲。過去的一年中，這款游戲風光無限，累計收獲了世界各地頒發的超過80個獎項。帕切特說，Metacritic網給予的高評分和強大的口碑可能會促使他進一步提升對這款游戲銷售前景的預測值。

????沃曼認為，讓玩家適應新的游戲元素，構建一個新的特許產品，這些都將面臨一些挑戰。基于團隊的射擊和機器人組件可能會嚇跑一些射擊類游戲死忠。但好的一面是，這種基于團隊作戰的特征也可能會吸引來一些《傳奇聯盟》(League of Legends)的粉絲——這款游戲擁有超過8,500萬玩家），其中不少人已經開始免費玩另一家網游開發商Riot Games的五對五PC版游戲。

????由于索尼PlayStation 4的全球銷量已經率先突破600萬臺大關，《泰坦隕落》有望給微軟公司的硬件銷量注入一針期待已久的強心劑。贊佩拉說，這款游戲的Xbox One版本已經讓開發者獲得了開拓全球市場的能力。

????“我們正在把單人游戲體驗帶入多人游戲之中，”贊佩拉說?！拔覀冇袑ｉT的服務器，這是我們以前重點經營游戲機版本時所沒有的東西。大家看到的所有人工智能場景都是通過服務器計算過的。所以，主機優勢現在已蕩然無存。所有玩家將獲得更好的游戲體驗。這是一個更加生動、值得探索的世界?！?/p>

????《泰坦隕落》這個品牌正在向游戲之外擴展，類似科樂思泰坦隕落拼砌套裝(K'NEX Titanfall Building Sets)這樣的產品將在今年6月份正式推出。玩家們現在可以購買已經獲得授權的電子產品，比如美加獅游戲耳機(Mad Catz TRITTON)、R.A.T鼠標、S.T.R.I.K.E.鍵盤、F.R.E.Q.游戲耳機和G.L.I.D.E.游戲界面。不過這些僅僅只是個開始，但愿《泰坦隕落》不要辜負游戲世界對它抱有的美好期許。（財富中文網）

????Titanfall breaks from tradition in the shooter genre by ditching the single-play campaign mode. It focuses solely on multiplayer gameplay. The game also introduces dynamically different gameplay within its near-future battlefields by allowing players to fight as elite assault pilots on the ground with parkour-style wall running and double jumps. Gamers can also get behind the controls of hulking, heavily armored 24-foot-tall titans and plow their way through war zones as team-based members of either the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) or the Militia. The ability to seamlessly jump in and out of these titans introduces new tactics and strategies to the crowded, but lucrative, shooter genre.

????"For us it was about not doing something that was similar to what was done before," said Zampella. "In Titanfall the gameplay is more vertical. The pilots are very agile. They can run on walls. They can jump higher. That's mixed with these Titans, which are an extension of you. It's an exoskeleton style."

????Critics who've been able to play the game early through press events and the online beta have loved Titanfall. Over the past year, the game has accumulated accolades from around the world to the tune of more than 80 awards. Pachter said Metacritic scores and strong word of mouth could push his sales estimates even higher for the game.

????Warman believes there will be some challenges in getting gamers acclimated to the new gameplay elements and establishing a new franchise. The team-based shooting and robot component could scare away some of the core shooter audience. But on the plus side, the team battle component could draw in some of the over 85 million League of Legends fans that Riot Games has attracted to its free-to-play five-on-five PC game.

????With Sony eclipsing the 6-million-unit mark sold worldwide first with its PS4, Titanfall is expected to give Microsoft a much-needed hardware sales boost. Zampella said the Xbox One version of the game has given the developers the ability to expand the world.

????"We're putting the single-player experience into the multiplayer," said Zampella. "We have dedicated servers, which is something we didn't have on consoles before. All that AI [artificial intelligence] that you see running around is calculated on the server, so now there's no host advantage. It's a better experience for all the players. And it's a more vivid world to explore."

????The Titanfall brand is expanding beyond games with licensing deals like a line of K'NEX Titanfall Building Sets, which will launch this June. Gamers can now purchase licensed electronics like Mad Catz TRITTON gaming headsets, R.A.T mice, S.T.R.I.K.E. keyboards, F.R.E.Q. gaming headsets and G.L.I.D.E. gaming surfaces. And that's just the beginning, as long as the game lives up to the very high expectations.
