  • I’m taking a look at the complete history of the Titanfall universe. I’m covering everything from the Frontier Wars to the IMC’s fall from grace. You’ll learn all about the mechs, the factions, and the pilots that made this such an iconic video game series. If you’ve ever wanted to jump into the Titanfall games but didn’t know where to start, this video is a great place to get your bearings. Enjoy!

      Knowing Respawn the likelihood of Titanfall 3 happening is when all Titanfall fans are very old and pretty much already suck and ruin the franchise from EA and most likely will be under sweat baby inc and then make jack copper actions in TF2 a quote "a useless male action compared to a strong unlikable female in the next game just because we want to make an example for the LGBTQ community" so for that reason I would rather have not a TF3 in today standard then have it at all

    This may be my own personal bias, but I believe that the IMC should’ve never broken apart into its disorderly factionalism it should’ve probably won the frontier war against the militia, just due to the overwhelming power that the IMC held as its disposal to see the height of their power, where they owned earth, the core systems in bits of the frontier all the way down to even Hammond robotics no longer being associated with the IMC after it dissolved, it is hard to believe, that this power house

    • @nothisiskas
      @nothisiskas 8 днів тому +2

      the core system conflicts were dominated mostly by stalker and specter use because of the lower cost of manufacturing. titans were much more expensive to build, not including the time needed to train a pilot. really, the core system conflicts was (were? grammar is hard) a war of manufacturing -- imc production vs the other companies operating in said systems. titans didn't have a chance to shine until the titan wars (which began nearly four centuries after the CSC began, and two centuries after things escalated into full-blown war), hence why it took so long before they saw extensive use in combat.

Maybe a clump of the stuff got jettisoned out of the accretion disk of a black hole, idk. As for the Titan batteries, I’m pretty sure those are just very compact nuclear reactors. There are several instances across the lore where Titans detonate there cores (also Nuke Eject). Idk what the fast-than-light travel could be

      There are some hints from apex but it honestly sounds more like it was just a cool game mechanic they came up with and never have bothered to elaborate more on it in terms of lore.
      My best guess is that it is linked to warp travel which is itself almost instant transmission. So it's likely some kind of mini localized warp.

    RIP Titanfall. Respawn is so focused on cartoonish Apex, that they don't want to revisit Titanfall. I just want to make my TF2 Pilot and slap some goons in my Monarch. Even if we just get a new game that is nothing but Frontier Defense, I'd be happy if it was at least handled well!

    Wait- this isn't star citizen... THIS IS TITANFALL
    YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    My favorite thing about these two games is how similar they are in some areas design wise (Graphics, not gameplay)

    10:50 if they can’t tell they aren’t human, wouldn’t they all be putting on pants unless they planned on going outside naked

    I'm worried Apex Legends might have affected the overall universe's lore in a negative way...
