- From the great cities of the Core Worlds to the Wilderness of the Frontier, the IMC looms large over all. It is a megacorporation so vast that entire armies and fleets are just lines on a budget.

Thank the lord you finally did Titanfall
Please look into BattlTech Lore
LOL! XD
Is there any chance you'll do the titans themselves?
Suggestion:
The Lensman series by Elmer "Doc" Smith . . . .
Titanfall fans: So what motivated you to ravage entire worlds for resources and disregard the needs and liberties of millions?
The IMC: M O N E Y
The Donald up in here.
Now replace them with Respawn and fixing Apex in just hours
@@jakespacepiratee3740 Hell yeah, I would hope so! 👍👍👍
fun fact. back when Titanfall was being worked on, the IMC was originally suppose to be called the Interstellar Marine Corps. so they were suppose to be regular soldiers of the government rather than mercenaries of a mega corporation
Would have been more interesting IMHO
@@user-lp7tx1fe6t I fully agree
@@user-lp7tx1fe6t idk, i think Respawn did an amazing job of making the IMC a properly interesting totalitarian corporation, though I wonder what happened to governments as they grew to outsize them, are they still held up as neo-liberal ineffective "democracies"? or have they truly given in to being undemocratic organizational arms of whatever corporation pays them off? either would be interesting, but if the IMC has truly discarded what's left of nation states and instead owns worlds and governs them, especially if they managed to do that to Earth, it would require a whole lot of intricate worldbuilding to make that convincing.
@@user-lp7tx1fe6t Actually No, *Megacorp For The Win*
@@xymaryai8283 They Probably Hold The Core Worlds In A Death Grip Where If IMC Goes Down The Core Worlds Do Aswell.

IMC: See those peaceful frolicking villagers.
IMC PILOT: Yes?.
IMC: I don't want to anymore. Ammo on us.
2nd IMC PILOT: Yeah, we are totally the bad guys.
"And Legion? Remember: no Colonial..."
"INITIATING AGGRESSIVE SUSTAINED COUNTERFIRE."
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT*
"Graves to all personnel: Demeter is the gateway to the Frontier. By attacking our largest refueling depot, the Militia thinks that they can shut the door on us. You will correct that perspective. Graves out."
"Pilots! Defend the hardpoints at all costs! If the Militia overload the reactor core, it's all over! Strap in!!"
"Ooh, I hate this part."
@@misredd Cut the chatter! Initiating drop sequence!
I fucking miss the multiplayer campaign from titanfall 1 it was the thing taht made me fall so in love with the game. Just the thought of a story playing out in multiplier is so cool. I wish in titanfall 3 they expanded it and actually made it so the story could branch out if one side wins or loses.
_Alright, kids, ready for thrills, chills and kills?_
@@hunterwolf8539 We're still playing it on Xbox One, and the servers are still working. Sunday 8PM GMT is Campaign time!
I never played titan fall, but it sounds like the IMC is just the British east India company
Same. Tho when I first heard about IMC I thought it was that corp from district 9. (Didn't hear the full name)
Yeah, that’s pretty much the gist of it. Afrikaner/British people using superior means to enforce colonial rule.
And that kids, Is what we in the know call an allegory!
They got the accents and everything.
yeah but if the British east India company had an army strong enough to rival Britain itself and the rest of the world too, and mechs lol.
The most underrated game with seriously underrated lore. This will be good
"Titanfall" and "underrated" in one sentence... lol
You're absolutely right. Titanfall 2 drug me into a universe like few other have.
@@manius1222 but it's true it's popular but it's underrated because that overrated pos COD got released at the same time
The most underrated game
with the sweatiest of vets :y
@@augustuslunasol10thapostle didn't help that the first game was multiplayer only. I hope we get another titanfall game with a campaign cause the campaign was one of the best fps campaigns I played recently.
Finally. Titanfall content.

@@Exarian Boyfriend Titan-7274 Protocol 2: Uphold the Gayness
Titanfall is such an underrated series in my opinion.
yeah it is unfortunately
@@CaptainSeato I never got to play the first game since I was on PS4, what made it better in your opinion?
@@TexasLawbringer77 hmm a mix of things from both games would be neat if they made another
@@CaptainSeato Atleast Titanfall 2 had a story, I would never get into Titanfell if it stayed "mUlTIplaYer ExPErieNce".
@@squadie1 art style of titanfall 1 with the graphics and gameplay of titanfall 2 plus a few other things.
That's my dream.
Titanfall content? Yes. *ALL* of the yes.
Damn, Titanfall's charm honestly never made me think the lore behind it's universe was so tense.
IMC has the best colors
No. Cadia does
@@PossiblyAHeretic Correct, but in the case of Titan fall the IMC has the best colors
IMC sucks
@@hiredmurderer6228 Militia sucks
IMC sucks in terms of morality? Yes. IMC sucks in terms of Aesthetic, Feels and Color scheme? *Hell no!*
IMC was the ultimate Stellaris megacorp before the Megacorp DLC was released. Lol.
Ethics: Fanatic Materialist, Militarist
Civics: Naval Contractors, Brand Loyalty, & eventually Franchising
@@praxlyn1498 what about origin?
@@lorddenalian I wanna say Mechanist (Titans & other advanced robotics) but Propserous Unification could also be one, considering that corporations can control governments nowadays.
@@praxlyn1498 thx mate. Was curious since I made one for prosperous unification. Best precursor usage that fits is the Cybrex I think due to their warform robots
Loses a major battle because the contract it had with the mercenaries it hired had expired. Whoops!
That's why counting mostly on mercs to fight for you instead of a national army or something similar is bound to go wrong at some point.
This is why even Machiavelli strongly advised against the use of mercenaries.
@@hemidas “even” Machiavelli??
I kinda understand why the IMC had to resort to using mercenaries. With the fall of Demeter, the IMC logistics chain was cut off, effectively cutting them off in what is essentially hostile territory. Then, with the destruction of the Hammond facilities for making mech infantry, this is just them being backed into a corner and grasping at straws. After all, no sane military would design and deploy a planet killer weapon unless they really needed it.
@@oam6626 yes ¿something wrong with what he wrote?
I trust The Templin Institute with my Sci-Fi lore *almost* as much as I trust BT throwing me over an abyss
Pilots! weapons hot, STAND BY FOR TITANFALL!
This is making me way too excited for a potential Titanfall 3, I really hope the campaign is oriented from the perspective of the IMC.
So do I.
Same. While I love Cooper and BTs story I like the mystery ending. Plus TFl2 made the IMC look like outright villains but General Marders audio recordings made a lot of good points and arguments for why they fight. Time for a new pilot and Titan.
@@michaelandreipalon359 MRVN perspective?
We need to see an Strategy game between the IMC and the Millita. Similar to Star Wars: Empire at War.
Or 4X like Sins of A Solar Empire combined with Halo Wars gameplay.
I don't see anything against ground combat, but one thing about space: the Militia has 0 space forces, while the IMC has armadas. Also, the number of human systems in Titanfall is microscopic compared to the # of inhabited systems in Star Wars.
@@sylquinn4075 Still enough Planets and Space locations to make atleast 2 campaigns. In Titanfall 2 we see that Militia DOES have a Space Fleet, and not so small at that! + Militia would play similar to Rebels from Star Wars anyway, so big fleets for Militia are not neccesary.
@@sylquinn4075 Also, in terms of ground combat... we need to pull cut and unfinished assets and even some concepts to make it a full strategy, like actual Tanks, APC-style vehicles, dedicated fire support gunship-/dropship-/helicopter-type vehicle, Air-to-air fighters and so on. But some missions could and should be without those features, to make them more like standart Attrition Titanfall gameplay.
@@Taron_HaiTar Alright, thanks for telling me this. I'm not actually much of a Titanfall player (I've played only tiny bits of it).
I’ve never clicked faster in my life!
YES TITANFALL CONTEXT!!!
Templin Institute doing TITANFALL?!
TITANFALL 3 conformed!
And to think that instead of a Titanfall 3, all we have at moment is that stupid game called "Apex Legends"! We _need_ a sequel for Titanfall 2, not another stupid "battle royale".
@@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290 check SirSwag
The success of Apex has at least kept Respawn with enough credit with the executives that they will be able to make one some day.
@@Jeff-tw7jk I checked this "Sir Swag" and I _hated_ his channel.
@@UnreasonableOpinions That don't changes the fact that we don't need stupid "battle royale" games set in the Titanfall universe.
God, the art design of the Titanfall universe is so fucking cool.
It's fun to stay at the IMC, eh?
It's fun to work for the IMC, eh?
Man this video really makes me want to get my friends together to play some TITANFALL 1 Campaign games
IF RESPAWN EVER DOES ANYTHING ABOUT THE CONSTANT DDOS ATTACKS
Titanfall
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
How's it a surprise? It's right up his alley. And yes I get the Sheev reference.
@@Round_Slinger Its a surprise because no one really makes Titanfall content, least of all story content.
Oh my gosh! It's happening! Everyone stay calm!!!! (Sorry if I misquoted, I just love Titanfall SOOOOOOOO much! As soon as I saw this, I clicked faster than I have clicked before.
)
I never thought that the templin institute would do anything on titanfall
It's great that the Titan fall universe is getting the credit it deserves. Very underrated
I do like this type of megacorp, shades of the VoC and the British East India Company. Most realistic imo
I remember in stellaris I basically turned into the IMC. I eventually had an army that was untouchable and an even better economy the only one who could rival me in terms of economic status was my buddy. Sadly I lost the war to 3 fairly powerful empires that made a federation and to make sure I wouldn’t ever do that again my buddy destroyed all my habitable planets
If they had titans then we legit could’ve recreated the whole game. It was pretty fun actually it’s just time consuming so I play when I’m home from work
When Jeff Bezos starts playing stellaris on easy mode with MegaCorp empire
Edit-1: oh.....uuuh this is....surprising and awkward.... thanks for the likes ! :D
Underated comment
@@Luck_wrought It really isn't, I mean forty people agree with him.
@@Caffiend-Cat at the time,yes not anymore
@@Luck_wrought Ok, over fifty you understand my point thought.
And we're now over 120.
I really have nothing of value to say, I’m just commenting to do my part to boost engagement for this video to hopefully show the Templin Institute that doing Titanfall content is extremely rewarding and maybe they’ll be more inclined to do more of it.
Titanfall is definitely my favourite series covered here, right after Killzone. Happy to see both of them getting some attention
Titanfall lore is seriously decent, given just how unappreciated it is. I'm really looking forward to seeing more about it!
So, is titanfall an example of why megacorporations make unstable governments?
I think its an allegory about western corporations today exploiting south america, africa and asia for cheap labour and resources. The stuff Nestle does in africa sounds like something the IMC would do.
@@ExternalDialogue Only difference is the Militia could fight back as a coherent unified force,unlike the fragmented resistance from nations of modern developing countries, yes?
@@scp-2348 yes. Though i think a secondary theme of Titanfall is that revolutions are messy, yet necessary. The milita gets forced to do some shitty things, like raiding Fracture for fuel. They probably caused some serious damage to the planet as they raided it, but the alternative would be the end of any resistance to the IMC and the death of the hundreds of thousands of Civilians in their fleet. In reality all revolutions from history we would consider necessary and good were not perfect and did not produce perfect results. Yet it was an improvement, and that is what was important.
So i guess what Titanfall wants to say is that there needs to be actual fundamental change to make the world a better place. Our world's Hammond Robotics and Vinson Dynamics needs to be destroyed if we want freedom and a decent quality of life for everyone, not just us few in the west.
What I got out of Titanfall was this - start a megacorp and become a superpower in economics, technology development & deployment, military, politics, supply & demand, resources and embed yourself into critical areas of civilization. I’m taking notes xD.
@@ExternalDialogue That's a long way to go for humanity. Hope the climate feedback loop or ideological or resource wars don't kill us first.
Imagine if Templin analyzed real factions in our world
I thought they've already done that?
April's fools maybe
Like, say, NATO, the Warsaw Pact, the British Empire and Commonwealth, etc.? I'd say they might be a bit boring compared to factions like the IMC, Starfleet Command, even the UK's Children of Men counterpart.
*We need Titanfall 3!*
I'm waiting for titan fall 88
Ah yes, despite the losses, corporations that make the death sticks still get some $$$
They're basically the Dutch East India Company on a Galactic scale.
@@hemidas i love this comparison
They’re a much improved version of the Dutch East India company, they directly or indirectly control the economies of entire systems. They wouldn’t fail easily as a corporation like the Dutch East India did.
I always enjoy these videos about super powerful corporations.
I hope in Titanfall 3 we see things from the IMC's point of view, It is by far the more interesting faction.
Standby for Templin-fall!
IMC Is Basically The Backstory Of A Megacorp In Stellaris.
It's The Step Before The Megacorp Assumes Full Control.
I Wish That In Titanfall 3 We Can Side With IMC (Not Like In Titanfall 1 But Like An Actual Campaign Like In Titanfall 2) Because Megacorps Are Chad Empires
How?
Cool to know about factions of new series for me. Great video
Thank you for talking about Titanfall! Some of the beat games and universe ever!
@5:52 It's actually "Vinson Dynamics" and not Vision Dynamics.
SRS: "United We Stand. Divided We Ambush"
'Cept the War is over, and the Militia seems to have won, allowing the Apex Games to begin
They really just did something relating to Mecha, today is a good day lads.
Dang they really did it. I love the IMC and Titanfall as a whole so this was great to see. Thanks Templin institute
Hell yes i cant wait to see more from titanfall!
videos of titanfall lore are underrated.
Kinda reminds me of the Alliance from Firefly
I’ve had some of the best multiplayer action playing Titanfall, I miss playing it online.
Awesome video. I loved the backstory of Titanfall.
If there ever is a Titanfall 3, it should involve the IMC returning to the frontier or an emerging alien threat.
It'd be cool to see a third in the series with bigger campaign.
Finally the titanfall representation we deserve
TBH i never thought the IMC were the _bad guys_ neither the Militia the _good guys._
Still dont
The IMC literally butchers unarmed civilians and murders their POWs. That was like the first scene you see in TF1s multiplayer if you're the IMC. "Sir, we havent found any militia! Just a handful of civilians!" *specters execute unarmed civilians in the background*
Yeah, the IMC are the bad guys. Not even a question.
@@bobw1678
And the Militia's description literally calls them a cluster of pirates, smugglers, fugitives, outlaws and, in general, criminals.
That is not my romantic vision of _"heroes"_
One group is trying to put order to exploit resources. The other group is trying to create chaos and disrupt such order to exploit those same resources.
Potato, potato if you ask me
Why was I not notified of this upload this is awsome.
One of my fav universes.
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
Oh please please please do am episode on the actual Titans
NOW THAT'S HOW THE 6-4 DOES IT!
"Look! A pilot!" - Rifleman
Eyyyy I was waiting for a video on this.
After watching this, we need a new titanfall game. Keep the lore going!
holy shit holy shit holy shit, they did it, they talked about titanfall, let the floodgates open
I’ve been waiting for a video from your on these guys for a while now.
Thank you the English subtitle.
Normally I'm up for being the good guys, but damn when TF1 hit I've always preferred the IMC aesthetic and having a South African mercenary as a leader was awesome. On with TF2 as well
The Frontier Militia are far from being the "good guys"; this video gets a lot of finer details wrong, like how the Militia _destroyed_ Demeter rather than occupying the planet. They cut off supply and reinforcements between the Frontier and the Core, which likely resulted in the deaths of billions.
You could do the Federal Bureau of Control, the Oldest House is a fun location too.
_Don't worry. You're working for the good guys._
Titanfall is a pretty neat like series, would make a really good movie or something.
Prepare for Titanfall!
I can't wait for the day they tackle Eve Online and the Minmatar.
*Standby for Titanfall*
Hammond: "are you receiving me graves?"
Graves: "yes sir"
Hammond: "all loyal members of the imc, i have been informed of the recent loss of our air support responsible for the security of demeter. Rest assured i am presently fueling reinforcements to be dispatched from the core systems on the long jump to the frontier. You will hold the port of demeter this day, you will crush the terrorists last ditch attempt at disrupting our civilization and you will find yourselves relieved and rewarded for tomorrow. Vice admiral graves, out world is in your hands"
Omg ligit wanted this investigation for weeks now
Tysm
Hey templin Institute I have a suggestion for a new playlist add criminal organizations and make your first mention of them and first one to put on there 3rd Street Saints
Time to show this to my bestfriend who started playing Titanfall 2 a few days earlier
Meanwhile in the 40k Universe
Comissar: Guardsman?
Guardsman: Yes my lord?
Comissar: You see those heretics with stubbers? And mechs?
Guardsman: Yes my lord
Comissar: I don't want to
Guardsman: Understood my lord
*Shelling intensifies*
Guardsman: Tis done my lord
Comissar: Good
Guardsman: I should note though
Comissar: Choose your next words carefully Guardsman
Guardsman: Right. Some of these "Soldiers" had the letters IMC on their uniforms
Comissar: Noted. Now go and cleanse yourself of this heresy you spoke of or I'll send you to the nearest Templar for execution
Guardsman: Yes my lord
Comissar: (to himself) I better call for some more Templars and the Kreigsman. God Emperor, protect us from these heretics
Is there any chance you'll do the titans themselves?
Stand tall for Turtlefall.
I have been waiting for this!
Seeing as how the IMC has privately owned warships I can safely say they’re American, and that is quite epic
During the age of sail one of the largest naval fleets was owned by the East India Company out of Britain so my guess is that the IMC refers to them
Laughs in Dutch East India Company, Sailing the seven seas with $7.9 trillion worth of assets and warships.
A TITANFALL EPISODE HELL YEA!!!!!!
Gotta do the Militia next...
Umbrella corporation: "I have created a conglomerate that rivals national economies, every kind of consumer product, and the best military BOW's in the world"
Omni Consummer Products: "I am the unrivaled corporate conglomerate in the American continent, createing some of the best military, private security and effectively applied cybernetization".
Wayland Yulani: "I am the greatest corporation in the solar system, providing private ships and re defining military forces with alien knowledge and the greates scientific minds of humanity".
Intersterllar Manufacturing Corporation: "Hold my beer".
Cant wait to hop on titanfall 1 and play some... oh wait...
Outer space may be the final frontier, the future's Wild West. Of course, the real battle for the frontier will not be between nations or against space outlaws. Instead, it will be against the stereotypical evil megacorp and its army of giant robots and androids.
Anyway, I hope you'll do more on the world of Titanfall soon.
I have never played the game but what was said in this vid doesn't make sense -you can't have such a overwhelmingly powerful company AND functional governments with any significant agency.
They are more or less mutually exclusive.
Give it a bit more thought, such a powerful corporation won’t need planetary governments, but those governments sure need IMC more than IMC needs them.
@@AwankO I think you need to read what I wrote properly -you can't have both a powerful government and equally powerful corporations; at the same time.
can you do Corpus or Grineer empire next?
Never heard of Titanfall before this
[Blackrock furiously taking notes]
Hell yeah baby
Titanfall is my favourite game of all time and o really hope that we get a militia video up next 😂
Is it a good idea to do a vid on sci fi weapons
never heard of it
Ah yes Titan Fall probably the single most underrated Syfy shooter/world ever made.
Woooooooooooooooo
Titanfall stuff
Now do marvins
I wish we get to fight the Remnant Fleet in some PvE gamemode on Apex Legends. Seeing how its all just robots it wont hurt any Titanfall 3 Plot.
🎶 come on Jeffery you can do it, pave the way put your back in to it🎶
