While Titanfall for the Xbox 360 was delayed and launched later than the PC and Xbox One version of the game, its developers, Bluepoint Games, did promise gamers that it would be a “true experience” which many were worried about since the Xbox 360 isn’t as powerful as the Xbox One.
Based on all the reviews that we’ve read so far about the Xbox 360 version, it seems that Bluepoint Games did manage to deliver as they promised. It is probably why, and also probably because there are a ton of gamers still playing the Xbox 360, that sales of the game went as high as 220% in the UK after its launch.
According to reports, it seems that the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall has been very well-received in the UK and managed to head to the top of the all-formats UK sales charts. This isn’t that surprising given that Titanfall has been heavily anticipated, and that Respawn Entertainment and Bluepoint Games have not disappointed in their promises to deliver.
In fact earlier reports suggested that the game even managed to help boost the sales of the Xbox One console in the UK, perhaps implying that gamers were rushing out to get their hands on the Xbox One just to play the game and also probably in anticipation of future Xbox One titles as well. What do you guys think? Any of our readers play the Xbox 360 version and are you that surprised that it sold so well?

Good news Titanfall players, if you have completed the game or if you’re itching for new content, you might be pleased to learn that Respawn Entertainment has recently confirmed at PAX East that the first Titanfall DLC will be released this May.
The DLC will be titled “Titanfall Expedition” and will be a paid map pack that will be arriving on all platforms, meaning that PC gamers, Xbox One gamers, and even Xbox 360 gamers will be able to look forward to getting their hands on it when it is released. Given that the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall was not developed by Respawn, we guess this is good that they aren’t left out of DLCs, or at least have their DLCs delayed.
According to Respawn, the Expedition DLC will include three new maps for players to explore. Interestingly enough not all of them will be set in urban areas. In fact one of the maps will feature trees that players will be able to wall-run off (or should we say tree-run?). The maps are “Swampland”, “Runoff”, and “War Games”.
Unfortunately no specific dates for the DLC was mentioned, but given that we’re halfway through April, hopefully Respawn will be able to provide gamers with a specific game soon. In the meantime who else is looking forward to the Expedition DLC pack? Or were you hoping for something more?

Flickr member, LEGO enthusiast and Bionicle pilot Nick Brick made life-size scale models of some of the weapons in the hit FPS Titanfall. Nick made the EVA-8 Shotgun, the Smart Pistol MK5 and the R-101C Carbine.
Nick’s replicas may not be exactly the same as their virtual counterparts – Nick made the pistol and the rifle months before Titanfall came out – but they still look awesome and even have a few moving or detachable parts.
Have a closer look at Nick’s arsenal in these videos:

If you’re the owner of an Xbox 360, you might have heard that Titanfall has launched as a boxed version for your console this week. Now we’re sure some gamers are wondering why isn’t the game available for download? After all Titanfall for the Xbox One is available as a digital download, so why not the Xbox 360 version?
Well it turns out that maybe putting the game on Games on Demand might not be the best way to experience the game, at least according to EA’s Help Page which confirmed that the game for the Xbox 360 platform will not be available on Games on Demand.
According to EA, “After extensive testing, we felt that it simply did not represent the true Titanfall experience and it was decided not to release a Games on Demand version. As we never officially announced that Titanfall would be available via Games on Demand and the option to purchase it that way should have never been offered. We hope players understand this decision was all about quality and making sure you get the best Titanfall experience.”
Perhaps it could be an issue with the amount of space that the game would take up if downloaded. As it stands the Xbox One version of the game comes in at a whopping 20GB, so it could be about space constraints, although the installation from the disc does require 1GB. In any case we’re only speculating at this point in time but if you wanted to play the game on the Xbox 360, you’ll have to head to your nearby games shop to get your hands on it.

We have already seen all there is to see about Titanfall on the PC and Xbox One game consoles. The Xbox 360 version of the game was originally supposed to launch alongside the other two versions, but was delayed. The launch of the Xbox 360 version is set to happen tomorrow in North America and this Friday in the UK.
Some people have their hands on the game early and are posting up video footage of game play action. I wouldn’t be surprised to see these people posting videos early get hit by the banhammer. Still, if you are trying to decide if you should shell out the money for the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall, you will welcome these videos.
Overall, the graphics and framerate look pretty good. Certainly, the graphics won’t be as nice on the Xbox 360 as they are on the Xbox One or PC, especially the textures and lighting. Still they look pretty good.
It’s nice to see that while the Xbox 360 is no longer cutting edge, impressive games are still launching for the console.

While Titanfall for the PC and the Xbox One have been getting quite a bit of attention, there has not been much said about the Xbox 360 version. Previously some have speculated that this is because the Xbox 360 version isn’t quite as exciting in terms of graphics due to the older hardware.
In fact rumors have suggested that the game would run at a sub-720p resolution at 30fps, which while playable, isn’t exactly ideal when it comes to an FPS game. That being said, the developers of the Xbox 360 version of the game, Bluepoint Games, has recently taken to the Titanfall website in which they talk about the upcoming game.
According to the game’s senior producer, Daryl Allison, he calls the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall a “true experience” despite having to work on older hardware. ”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. The game looks great, sounds great, and above all it plays great.”
Allison also acknowledges that there are some technical limitations and that the game would run above 30fps, although he did not mention what’s the average FPS we might be able to look forward to. It seems that the “true experience” is possible due to the way the game has been made, where Respawn Entertainment worked to ensure that the Xbox 360 would look as good as possible.
“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.” Titanfall for the Xbox 360 will be seeing a release on the 8th of April which is a slight delay from its original release date.
