Titanfall Creators in Talks With Aspyr, Mac Version May Be in the Works

Nevermind what I said earlier. After playing it more, the game turned out to be a borefest. Very simple gameplay, virtually no gameplay modes, just 6v6 basically which gets dull too quickly. Not even a single player story mode to draw you into the game world.

How did it get so hyped I have no idea.

Got a refund from EA through their website for it thankfully and after poking around on Twitter and forums, seems other people are doing the same too.

What ever happened to Apple gaming? Growing up using an Apple iie and then a IIgs, gaming was great. Tons of new games came out. Then in the 90’s on it seemed gaming died on Apple pc's. I think Jobs felt gaming was silly. I hope Tim Cook realizes its a great market to serve and makes gaming a priority. I want to see..gasp..Mac exclusive games (remember Marathon?), not crappy Cider ports.

You must be new to Mac Rumors, because we've talked about the current renaissance in native Mac gaming for a couple years now.

It's gotten very, very good.
