Well, things aren't always this simple. Theoretically, he can just ask some team to make one, but I think finding the right match is important with these things. And maybe he has a few teams in his mind that can tackle this, but they could have a pipeline that can't be disturbed right now.

Also as bbbbbbbbbb (so many b's!) said, there could be licensing issues too. But without knowing anything about the actual games, why not create your own MechWarrior like IP? Or would that be not as interesting for the fans?

Whats fucked is that we had a new IP (titanfall) that was fucked twice from the beginning by Xbox (Thanks to Don Matrick) and then the second game was dropped in between the biggest shooters, CoD and Battlefield plus a third around the corner IIRC

I haven't played Titanfall yet, but have heard great things about it. Are they making a third game? I thought they abandoned it for Apex Legends.

Titanfall 2 is well worth playing for it's campaign. It's only a few hours long, but it's a roller coaster and features some of the best level design in the 2010s.

I think latest was Titanfall 3 got canned for continued Apex development :(

Yeah, it's on my wishlist. If you have seen my posts, it's a running theme with me, too many games and too little time to play them 😀

One thing to note, TF2 multiplayer is currently fixed and operational, so people are playing again.

TF3 was in development but it wasnt canned, per se. It turned into Apex Legends as a form of "lets do something with what we have. They havent shut the door on a 3rd game. Last i read somewhere they were brainstorming about it while they have free time

Hmm.. I just checked, I actually own TF2, would give it a go when I am finished with my current game.

Thanks for the heads up!
