We haven't heard much about Titanfall 2 since the shooter sequel was confirmed
last May, but now
an interview on Forbes with lead writer Jesse Stern says the game will
feature a full dedicated single-player campaign and that they are exploring the
possibility of a television spin-off based on the game (thanks
PCGamesN). Here's word on the game's storyline:
So we are doing our
best to deliver a vision of grand global colonial warfare retelling the story of
the American Revolution and the American Civil War in space. We imagined the
next generation of immigrants moving out to the new frontier of an inhabitable
planet. Rather than taking a traditional sci-fi approach to that we wanted to
look at how that would happen practically, what the ships would look like and
with machines that were designed for excavation and construction , demolition
and working the land, and what happens when they are turned into instruments of
war.
“What inspires us is the junction of technological advancement with the
inevitability of conflict and war and what the next war might look like. In
Titanfall 2 there will be a lot of [scenes] where science meets magic, but
keeping it grounded and dirty and human and real.”
Just seven games comprise the Steam Top 10 this week, as XCOM 2 holds four of
the top five positions on Valve's report on last week's bestselling games.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! If it was up to me, it would have been Super Bowl
Saturday, the game would have been played
last night, and everyone could be sleeping off their hangovers today. But no, it's a
party on a school night, so play safe. Here's hoping it's a good game, I share
concerns that there's potential for a blowout here, but you never know until the
pigskin starts flying. The pool is a done deal, but if I had to pick a winner
I'd go with Carolina.
