This is presumably either the xbox one version or the pc version being played with a controller.

Just reposting so I don't have to type it again:

- Setpiece moments and campaign storytelling in Competitive MP
- AI enemy combatants in competitive MP
- Jetpack traversal system
- Giant pilotable robots complete with their own loadouts
- Epilogue sequence that gives a chance at a personal win state even when your team has lost the match
- No killstreaks

Try again Respawn, this shit is just COD with mechs.
 
Movement looks awesome but I am concerned at the thought of campaign-like elements in competetive mp: How does it handle repetition? Is there like "story mp" and "traditional mp" if a person is sick to death of the setpieces? Are stories a 1-match thing or an ongoing thing?
 
Everything about this seems a million times more interesting and fun than CoD has ever been. Not sure what to think of those that don't see how it could be worthy of the convention award hype after seeing the overview of how this differs from other FPS games. Shit looks fun and they clearly have their priorities straight with 60fps to start.

The wall running. So good.

i didnt realize prior to that first video just how well designed the stages are for it. i loved the bit near the end, where the gif is from, where it talks about how through wall running and the gain of momentum you are able to traverse the entire map without setting foot on the ground.

that and the interplay between infantry and mech has me most excited. titanfall could very easily be a front runner for 2014 goty

I keep going back and forth on this point. Sometimes I feel that's a good thing while other days I'm down on it because of that notion.

that line was sarcasm. notice how he listed a ton of shit TF is doing that CoD would never do?

Okay, I get this game isn't for me but this is literally the most hyperbolic statement I've seen in weeks on NeoGAF.

Any game that greatly excites someone is going to seem like a potential GOTY in their eyes. Your statement seems far more hyperbolic than his/hers. :p
 
I wonder how the anti titan weapons for pilots will be balanced so that people aren't just using that against other pilots as well.
The sidewinder in particular looks like it could be devastating.

When I see these fast wallrunning and still a degree of aiming and the overall extra mobility I just wish it was a bit more oldschool and drop the run faster without aiming mechanic and automated killing melee attack, that would be not too far from a modern timesplitters.

That's the tutorial that was also shown at gamescom (but in German).

Game deserves all the hype; It's an extremely fun shooter.

Interesting that there is no kill cam. Thought considering that it's respawn there would be no question about it

After watching the intro video, I now understand what the game actually is. It does a really good job of explaining what makes the game unique. I though it was interesting before simply because of how fun the traversal aspect of the game looks but now I'm seeing how crazy it can get and how the Titans will come into play. I didn't know they had unique special abilities at all or how the game hopes to balance infantry and titans. And seeing that all of the demo characters are equipped with unique weapons to use against the titans made me smirk. It's looking really fucking cool. I'm eager to see more. If the rest of the maps, game types and weapons are appealing I'll probably get the PC version.

They should put this video or a very similar intro video up on YouTube.

Edit: I forgot to mention how awesome the concept of the escape sequence at the end of the match is. I heard about it before but now that I know it allows for more XP if your team is successful I'm liking the sound of it even more. It's brilliant.

If his\her's post is the one that's struck out to you as most hyperbolic statement in the past several weeks, you must not see that much then.

The smart pistol looks broken as Hell. Still can't wait to get my hands on this game!

The smart pistol takes a few seconds to lock-on and the players targeted hear a warning tone. It's apparently not the hardest thing in the world to avoid, but it will probably work great against AI oponents.

I believe these are all AI enemies being killed in this gif.
 
You can use a gamepad on PC...

Then I'll get battered by the K+Mers :p

Anyway, back to the game...

Looks really good, I was really sceptical when it was announced, CoD+mechs is not my idea of a brilliant game, but it looks like an absolute blast to play

Fair enough. As someone else pointed out, you can use a controller on PC.

I wouldn't recommend that lol. Using a Gamepad in a competitive shooter on PC will only lead to frustration.

More I see of this game, yeah I'd play the shit outta of it. Mechs man, mechs. Source Engine? Probably going to run smooth as butter.

thats just my opinion man. and i'm likely not alone in thinking it.

listen, i play a few games a year - primarily fps and racing games. i stick to what i like, typically halo and forza. there are few games i find as good as these two i've listed and i've seen enough from titanfall to say that it is a game that will almost assuredly blow me away. i'm sure you have your own game you are crazy looking forward to in 2014 that might end up your goty. relax.
