Respawn Plays The Pilot's Gauntlet // Titanfall 2

Some notes throughout the video:

  • 1:20 - Opening cinematic. Discussing PLAYFIGHT, who made awesome cinematics for both this game and the first Titanfall. They made these with mostly just game assets, concept art, and discussions with Respawn.

  • 3:30 - Awesome space battle scene. Jay "You could put that in almost any sci-fi trailer and you wouldn't think it wouldn't belong" internally.. wait no we're not generic! uh.. "It holds up really nicely."

  • 4:10 - The intro mission and Gauntlet were made almost entirely between late March (2016?) and early May. They then got some polish over the next month and that was it.

  • 4:34 - The Titanfall 2 training was made by a lot of the same people who worked on the tutorial(s) in Titanfall 1. In the first game they felt like they "had to show every part of what you were going to do in the game" in the training because you jumped right into the full multiplayer. In this game they felt like they could take a different approach. (because they had an entire single player campaign to show everything)

P.S. - Thanks Jay and co. for making sure the game subtitles were on and working on the audio quality!
