Ask me about the GAF Notebook
We have stills from the Beta. They look better.
Guess its just the image service used, but FFS.
Woah! That's actually pretty cool
He was mean to Xbox, he must be fed to the sharks.

Eek at the aliasing in the HUD elements. I thought people said the display planes were supposed to allow HUD elements to be 1080p while being able to sacrifice graphics elsewhere for performance sake. You would think they'd take advantage of that for Xbone's flagship game.

Dear CBoat,
In the event you do get the perma, let me know how I can subscribe to your newsletter.
Your friend, a guy who likes leaks that might not always be correct.

Aren't things getting better though? Penello might be redeemed,i'll wait and see some more months.
Let's not say that too loudly. People might start to think and keep their 360s instead of upgrading the console for $500. Why should they, if they won't even care about such things.
PC version looked pretty good when I played the beta....

The problem with "insider informations" is that things can change.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 720p was true at some point but Microsoft delievered a new firmware with more ram avaiable or something.
Just take such informations with a grain of salt - not that 792p is stunning for a flagship title either.

Yup, Penello only posted here to obfuscate information about Xbox One. It was a co-ordinated effort between himself and Major Nelson, Penello would post something on here and Nelson would post something almost identical on XB1's Reddit.
I'm not one to question the mods but Penello deserves to be shamed for the blatant lies he told about the XB1, repeatedly. Which the majority we now know to be false. He was purely here to put doubts in people's heads about the power differences between XB1 and PS4.
You only need to look at Penello's post history to see that his posts dropped off significantly after the XB1 launch on Nov 22nd. If cboat is banned, then Penello should be banned too for blatantly lying to us again and again.
At least cboat has given us genuine information in the past, information we would never have got if he wasn't prepared to risk his career for it.
I think the HUD is rendered inside the cockpit (as in it jostles around with you) as opposed to the static HUD, which is why they wouldn't be able to render on a separate pane.

This game does not look impressive in the least. 792p? Why not just stick to 720 for a more stable rate? Can't believe that the Xbox One can't run this game well. Doesn't look to be pushing anything.
I'm of the belief that CBOAT'S account was compromised or he wants to be banned for life. No way that anyone with senses doubles down on alpha textures after it visibly wasn't the case.

Define getting better , we have titanfall at 792p and metal gear at 720p this month for xb1 right ?
Didn't CBoaT say that the final game would be 720p AFTER the beta started? Meaning that the game was getting downgraded?
I think that's the problem and/or why he's banned or whatever.
I really don't see Albert coming back, and as far as I know he hasn't since launch. I guess that's not the point though. I'm convinced this was a deliberate action by CBOAT wanting to get banned. Ah well. I did enjoy the excitement he brought when he would appear last year, those threads were always good reads. Maybe he is the hero that GAF no longer needs. If he goes, godspeed buddy.
I actually think Titanfall looks great in those images, regardless of resolution.

He was back trying to explain to people about the headphone adaptor after the terrible press release.
Ehhhh.....

Thief was higher than was expected. Isn't wolfenstein also better than expected? In terms of mgs i think it depends on the devs. Like i said though i would wait and see how things look this fall for a better picture.

I wonder if they managed to pull of a steady 60FPS.
The rumor about the retail version being 720p and having its own party chat solution made sense at the time. The game had some framerate issues that might force Respawn to dial down the resolution. The dedicated party chat solution was probably in development before the March update was certain to be released with the game, just to have a fallback solution. So I can see why CBoaT would have been certain about these.
But doubling down on the alpha textures thing after the Beta was just weird.

Have you played any other games on your PC?
I have the PC version preloaded because cranking out extremely clean IQ is the only thing that makes this game look decent.
Crysis was 7 years ago, and it destroys Titanfall graphically. As do countless other games. It does not look "Pretty Good".
Fortunately, the gameplay is the tits.

The HUD is an actual reactive heads up display that bobbles around as you run so it's not a straightforward 1080p overlay + 792p composite job.
That said, CoD Ghost's HUD is static and still only rendered at 720p with the rest of the game.

Nah. Albert was saying things like what if the console with the weaker on paper specs turned out to be stronger. Pure drunk posting type of things. He went too far in, can't redeem himself now. Shame because he started off likeable.

Where are these posts excited about him likely being banned? I just don't see it yet people are repeatedly saying this like it's wanted for an insider to be banned. It's not the users faults that an insider's information is taken as credible and becomes news. He knows exactly what the response is and he's been off lately, incredibly so about this game.
I see people wanting him to be spared mostly just because he's GAF's own and there aren't a lot of leakers. Well if his information can't even be trusted, possibly due to him being found out or who knows why, how useful is he really? And making exceptions, especially with it being said that even him being right about the resolution would be enough, is a terrible idea. Him leaking stuff like this can cause real damage to companies and it's hard to even understand his leak about alpha textures, it made no sense and that's especially bad when it's negative.
I'm sure I'll get hate for this but some people just don't want to face the situation, his account is tainted and far less credible than it used to be. He's had some valid leaks in the last year but it's up to him to post the ones he has faith in and he failed to do so adequately. There must be accountability no matter how difficult such a thing is.
OT: If the game was downgraded I hope it was to make the FPS more stable around 60.
edit: Wanted to clarify that I am not in any way attempting to backseat mod. It's clear there's a discussion about cboat and I was giving my take and interpretation on why he may be banned since many don't want him to be. I'm not pushing the mods to do anything or advocating for a ban, the mods make the call and clearly the users like myself don't. The discussion is taking place though so I'm explaining a side that hasn't been explained much.

Not only that but things can change between the leak and the release.

Got a link? I don't remember him saying that,i remember something along the lines of MS not allowing a 30% advantage to Sony.

Still boggles my mind that the XB1 version is 720p.

Party chat solution and alpha textures aren't happening. They weren't when he doubled down on them. Game wasn't 720p when he said it was.
Not much room for error here.
Actually yeah he did. I enjoyed reading Albert's posts and liked that Microsoft was talking to us. But he just couldn't accept that the PS4 would end up out performing the Xbox One. He kept arguing about it and then his responses would become somewhat extreme. I'd like to believe it is because he honestly didn't know any better or was being fed the wrong information.
Anyway, I guess this thread isn't really about him.
That's awesome.
Love those sort of distractions that can work for and against you.
Yeah.....that is some wishful thinking.
But so damn fun

I tend to agree with you, but bish has responded to me saying this exact thing before and says he wants to hold people accountable for the information. Which is also understandable.
That said, I wish there was some way for him to stay. He has been awesome with some things in the past.
So 792 instead of 720 and people are on this guy for that small of a difference. You should be outraged that this arcade game on a old engine is only 792p on a $500.00 system.
No campaign, no co-op, no destruction, 6 vs 6, charge full price, runs at 792p lol
If anything you should be praising this guy for not drinking the kool-aid these companies try to push out.

The IQ is rough. Looks like an impressive 360 game tbh.
The thing with Albert is that he isn't anonymous. When he says something like this gaming sites will pick it up, write a news story and then it will end up on neogaf anyway. So there's not even much point to banning him
