Titanfall has been released for the PC and the Xbox One but Xbox 360 owners have been left in the dark due to launch delays. However, Xbox 360 owners can get a glimpse of Titanfall on the Xbox 360 with a leaked 30 minute video.
Titanfall for the Xbox 360 was originally slated for a March 11 release date. Unfortunately, porting the title for the older Xbox proved to be slightly more difficult and EA has postponed the release to an April launch date. The release has been postponed twice now leaving many frustrated and irate Xbox 360 owners in its wake. EA says that the delays are necessary to ensure that the title will perform up to standards on the Xbox 360's older hardware. The company is also trying to ensure that the game will give Xbox 360 owners a gaming experience that is close, if not completely identical to what is offered on the Xbox One and PCs.
"Titanfall on the Xbox 360 is the true experience: all the maps, modes, pilots, titans, weapons, burn cards, you name it, found in the Xbox One and PC versions," said Bluepoint Games Senior Producer Daryl Allison. "The game looks great, sounds great, and above all it plays great."
On the Xbox One, Titanfall was praised as an enjoyable and breathtaking game but some video game pundits have criticized the shallow storyline. However, EA is assuring Xbox 360 owners that the Xbox 360 version will have all same features and content seen in the Xbox One title.
"There are of course some differences that are due to the technical limitations of the hardware - for example, the game runs above 30fps - but the experts at Respawn worked with us to ensure that all the intense, 6v6 wall-running, titan-dropping action is there," Allison added.
The leaked video footage shows gamers what Titanfall running on the Xbox 360 really looks like. A quick glance at the leaked footage shows that the game is very similar to the Xbox One version. However, there are few differences. For one, the button symbols used for the Xbox 360 version are different. Moreover, the frame rates seen in the video linger at around 30 frames per second (fps), which is only half of the frame rates seen on the Xbox One.
For gamers who currently have no plans to replace their trusty Xbox 360s with the newer Xbox One however, the upcoming release may be the best alternative to get a taste of Titanfall. This is especially true considering that the costs of building or purchasing a PC that can offer the same experience as seen on the Xbox One will be far from cheap.
