Apex Legends players find perfect way to introduce Titans into the game Apex Legends has launched to massive success with only one game mode, but some fans would like to see even more options, including an AI controlled event on the map. For a game that takes place in the Titanfall universe, there is one huge (literally) element missing from Apex Legends, the Titans. In an attempt to fix the lack of Titans, a redditor suggested an AI controlled Scorch Titan could be dropped on the Apex map. The post was originally made as a \u201cstupid suggestion,\u201d but the community quickly took to the idea and some wanted to see it as a special event. Players then gave some ideas on how the Titan would integrate into the game. \u201c[After killing it], have the cockpit open and reveal the pilot\u2019s Gold Deathbox with randomly generated loot,\u201d said one player. Respawn, the makers of Titanfall and Apex Legends, have frequently commented on the game\u2019s lack of giant robots. \u201cThe Titans in Titanfall 1 and 2 were meant to be a power fantasy \u2013 you\u2019re supposed to think \u2018alright, I can call it in, I can power it up and feel like a bad-ass for a little while,\u201d Respawn\u2019s Lead Producer Drew McCoy told Eurogamer. But the idea didn\u2019t translate to battle royale, \u201cSo we were prototyping that [in Apex] and they were a power-up, and that was really detrimental to a battle royale\u2026 If we ever balanced a Titan down to where they were not a destructive force on the match \u2013 it was like betraying that power fantasy \u2013 it was not worth it.\u201d Mackey McCandlish, Design Director at Respawn, further explained why Titans are not a great fit in battle royale. \u201cIt didn\u2019t feel fair to go up against a Titan in the last circle if you hadn\u2019t had a chance to find a Titan,\u201d McCandlish told VentureBeat. \u201cIt felt more like something was happening to you. The inherent competitive fairness of battle royale was threatened.\u201d \u201cIt didn\u2019t feel fair to go up against a Titan in the last circle if you hadn\u2019t had a chance to find a Titan.\u201d An AI controlled Scorch Titan would not conflict with Respawn\u2019s design goals in Apex Legends however, since no player is gaining an advantage by piloting the robot. With plans to continually update Apex, it is possible Respawn will bring along new game modes and events to the popular battle royale title. Titanfall fans will keep hoping the iconic Titans will be a part of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
