Patrick Soderlund, EA Studios' EVP, has said he wants the publisher to be "remembered and respected for the games we make," and not as the reigning 'worst company in the US' as they have been for two years.

The recent revelation by Respawn Entertainment that their sci-fi shooter will accommodate a maximum of 12 players in multiplayer has drawn some ire, but the studio takes on the 'armchair designers'.

EA and Respawn Entertainment has just unleashed the gameplay launch trailer for Titanfall which releases next week for PC and Xbox One, and on Xbox 360 later in March. We see some of the new maps.

Retailers are now receiving their stock ahead of next week's launch.

Deja-vu? Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall is titanically failing right now as a connection error through EA's Origin service is keeping the online shooter from playing.

Dastardly cheaters are already plying their brand of grief in Titanfall and developer Respawn Entertainment is busy "logging them" to meet the swift justice of the banhammer.

The sci-fi world of Titanfall is due three major DLCs at least, with other content freely given in between, but will any of it explore the game's more monsterous side?
