Respawn Entertainment Clarifies PlayStation Controller Presence in Video Interview

It was fun while it lasted. Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment recently clarified the presence of a PlayStation controller – which looked closer to being a DualShock 3, with something that appeared to be a PS3/PS4 dev-kit in the corner – in a developer interview that was released two months ago.

And it looks like we put those timed exclusive rumours to rest (for the time being at least), as Respawn revealed that the video footage was from 2010. And regardless, they play video games all the time so a few controllers in the office are to be expected.

@NicholasGigante that's from 2010. No PS4 controllers existed then. Also, we play games at work so we have all systems. Got a WiiU also 🙂

It’s also been stated that “people are reading a lot into an old picture.”

@NicholasGigante Not sure what you're asking…just people are reading a lot into an old picture.

Which leads to a Wii U sales joke (we’re sorry Nintendo, we didn’t think it would go down like that).

So Titanfall will be releasing for the Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC when it lands in Spring 2014. Of course, EA’s Frank Gibeau assured us that the Xbox exclusivity doesn’t reflect a “strategic tilt” of any kind.
