Respwan's Titanfall is perhaps the biggest killer app thus far for the fledgling Xbox One, and for good reason - this multiplayer-only shooter takes pretty much every sci-fi action trope in gaming and stuff it into one crazy package, with wall-running soldiers and giant mechs to pilot.
But – and this should be a surprise to no one – if Hawken is more District 9 than Titanfall is closer to Elysium. That's fine. It's a big popcorn shooter feel and looks like a blast, as you can probably tell from this video from Rev3. Personally I'd love to see a single-player element, but at this point I don't think it would really work with a narrative. Oh well.
