Titanfall discounted to $37 in Amazon’s Gold Box Deal of the Day

Respawn Entertainment’s mech-enhanced multiplayer shooter Titanfall is down to a very reasonabe $37 in Amazon’s daily Gold Box deal. That’s more than $20 off the regular $60 retail price and – in this writer’s opinion – the pricing sweet spot that publisher Electronic Arts ought to have hit when the game was first released in March.

We had lots of praise to direct at Titanfall‘s gameplay and design in our review, but we ultimately felt that there just wasn’t enough content in the game to justify a premium price. For those that have been teetering on the edge of the fence, waiting for a more reasonable deal, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. The Gold Box deal on Titanfall runs all day, but gaming will be in the Lightning Deal mix today as well, with discounts pegged for Batman: Arkham Origins, Beyond: Two Souls, some Skylanders swag, and a Turtle Beach gaming headset.

Titanfall 2 goes free-to-play this weekend as fans flock to 5-year-old shooter

Titanfall 2 is going free to play on Steam this weekend. The move comes one week after the five-year old shooter broke new records on Steam when fans flocked to the long-dormant game.

First released in 2016, Titanfall 2 is a first-person shooter by Respawn Entertainment. The game initially had the misfortune of launching during a crowded holiday season next to Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. It initially got lost in the shuffle, but is gaining new interest after Respawn announced that it's adding elements of the game to Apex Legends. Last weekend, the game hit its highest Steam player count ever, with its player base rising 650% seemingly out of nowhere.

Apex Legends crossplay will not match console players against PC players

An upcoming crossplay feature in Apex Legends has raised concerns that console players will be at a disadvantage against PC players, but a Respawn Entertainment developer provided assurance that that will not be the case.

Console players on their controllers will find it difficult to match up against PC players, who have more precise controls with a keyboard and mouse. Overwatch, another multiplayer shooter, has even called out console players who are using a keyboard and mouse set-up, as it leads to competitive imbalance.
