11 Things Microsoft Wants You To Forget About The Xbox One

3. Titanfall's Failure

Proving that you really can have too much of a good thing, Titanfall was supposed to be the continuation of the first-person shooter craze first set in motion by the likes of Halo 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Developed by Respawn Entertainment (themselves comprised of ex-COD guys) Titanfall was meant to be a huge step up in competitive online gaming, taking the established formulas of perk-based characters, multi-levelled maps and a whole armoury of weapons into the next generation. But, even though the game came out in March of this year, already the buzz around it has completely dissipated. As recent as March come reports that the PS4 Call of Duty: Ghosts bundle is outselling the Xbox Titanfall pack, despite the fact that Ghosts is at least critically the poorest entry in the series in quite some time. It doesn't help that Titanfall doesn't have a dedicated campaign, instead offering something that feels more like the old Unreal Tournament style mission sets; with overlaid text and graphics as you fight in otherwise arena-based modes, making the entire game come across like a mod than a full retail title.
