Was Titanfall going to Playstation? Could it be…?

Now that Titanfall’s beta is out on the PC, it comes as no surprise to us that players are digging through its code to see what they can find. As we reported a couple of days ago, they already found information about the game itself—but what we have for you today is a little more intriguing.

The code for the beta includes lines that contain “ps3” and “ps40,” although that second one could be an abbreviation for Pixel Shader 4.0, especially since it is found in lines about shaders. The “ps3” line, however, follows the same pattern for lines about “360” and “pc,” which suggests Titanfall wasn’t always a Microsoft-exclusive project.

Of course, some fans are hopeful that this means Titanfall will come to Sony’s systems after all.

What do you think? Personally, we think it’s much more likely that it’s a line or two of leftover code from before the exclusivity deal, but only time will tell. You can check out a screenshot of the code to see the intriguing lines for yourself.
