Titanfall is now available for both Xbox One and PC, but those kickin' it last-gen with Xbox 360 will have to wait until March 25th for the "dumbed down" version.
However, while it may not be pushing the technical benchmark, Titanfall on Microsoft's older console will still offer up a great experience. Speaking to Polygon at SXSW, Xbox Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Yusuf Mehdi explained:
I think we struck the right balance — it was Respawn, really, and the developer who struck the balance — which is, it will play great on Xbox 360. Believe me, we are thrilled about it. Xbox 360 is in, obviously, all the markets including the top 13 with Xbox One; we're in 48-plus markets for [Xbox 360]. For many markets, that will be the game. So, we've worked together to have that be a first-class experience.
At the same time, on Xbox One you can get some of those extra features that set it apart, and there will be people who want to do that, and there will be enough encouragement to go — but it will be a great experience on Xbox 360.
The Titanfall port for Xbox 360 is being handled by Bluepoint Games, a studio that has a fantastic track record, having worked on the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection as well as the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection.
