EA has finally commented on their thoughts on two of their games coming out so close together. EA’S CEO Andrew Wilson was asked if he would approach things differently next time when considering a release window with 2 shooters?, When asked about this he responded by saying while Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 “have some overlap,” they “fulfill very different motivations in what a player is looking for.”
“We think there’s really three types of players,” Wilson said. “People that really love Battlefield and that kind of big strategic gameplay that will orient in that direction; the player that loves the fast, fluid, kinetic gameplay of Titanfall 2 that really orient in that direction; and the player that just has to play the two greatest shooters this year and will buy both. “And again, we’re very very excited about the quality in both titles,” he continued. “We believe they both will have a long sale cycle, both this quarter through the festive season and deep into the years to come.
“And so as we think about the long game on this, we couldn’t be in a better position for what we think is delivering great games to a very, very big player base.”
