UPDATE:

Taking an otherwise exemplary track record into account...

720p = 72 hr ban seems fair.

...

A while ago, our resident insider CBoaT had this to say:

Before Beta:

After beta was 792p and better textures than alpha:

720 as wel , 792? no.

Finally bishoptl had this to say regarding CBoaT:

bishoptl said:
Sorry, but the texture thing sticks in my craw as something incredibly stupid, considering we just saw the beta textures and there was a visual upgrade. We can reopen this conversation when Titanfall is released and proper comparisons can be performed.

720p and Party Chat may not be enough to save this account from the banstick.

And now, we have some retail screencaps to see how CBoaT's info holds up. These shots were posted by sti4thewin in the official Titanfall thread of the final game:

Okay some Xbox One direct feed shots. LOVE THIS GAME.

Couple more Xbone

Those in turn were posted at Beyond3D for analysis. What they're seeing:

AINets said:
Same stuff. 792p 2XAA.

Anyone else want to confirm the pixels? Textures don't seem like the alpha version to me.

Godspeed, CBoaT.

Damn.

The plot thickens.

The guy messed up one time, and people want his blood now ...?

Pitmonkey · Mar 8, 2014

Is this a Cboat thread or a TitanFall thread?

Chobel · Mar 8, 2014

Jesus! The screenshots look really bad. I really hope that's because of the video compression.

R.I.P cboat.

hawk2025 · Mar 8, 2014

I just want to know if the framerate was improved.

Strickland · Mar 8, 2014

This would be good if we were still in 2009.

kazebyaka · Mar 8, 2014

792p with shitty graphics on outdated source engine on a new console? What a joke.

OverHeat · Mar 8, 2014

Bye bye CBOAT

That's kinda the risk you take as an insider though, right?

FairXchange · Mar 8, 2014

I'm disappointed there was no upres to 900p, at the very least. Damn it.

Bish gave that warning

Soulflarz · Mar 8, 2014

CBOAT has never been perfect. His are leaks. Not constantly confirmed. He's still relatively reliable. I prefer his leaks rather than no leaks from him.

But yes. He messes up a decent bit >.<
Dont rely so heavily on everything he says?

Coffee Dog · Mar 8, 2014

JonStark said:

More than likely his account has been compromised.

I think it would be one thing if he didn't double down on it, but he did, and the best solution is to get rid of it.

Syphon Filter · Mar 8, 2014

Actually he messed up several times.

One time?

bud · Mar 8, 2014

how is this not running in 1080p? it looks absolutely awful.

Bad_Boy · Mar 8, 2014

792p?

Whats up with all these weird resolutions.

vasametropolis · Mar 8, 2014

JonStark said:

I might be wrong, but I feel like mostly everything out of that account for the last year was way off. Xbox One yields, and other stuff.

Orayn · Mar 8, 2014

The ass storm continues.

On topic: Wasn't sure whether to expect a resolution upgrade at all, to be quite honest. Not really any of my concern, though, since I'll go PC when I do wind up getting the game.

Atilac · Mar 8, 2014

So fucking up once outweighs everytime he's been right?

DarkLordMalik · Mar 8, 2014

Are these really direct-feed shots OP? Because they look horrible. Even the AA looks bad here, might be due to the lower resolution =/

makatk · Mar 8, 2014

lol ,whats with the cboat hate ?
chill everyone

Pitmonkey said:

Fall of a Titan thread?

Dibbz · Mar 8, 2014

Considering he got so many leaks right, isn't it a bit harsh to ban him for getting one thing wrong?

Soi-Fong · Mar 8, 2014

Next gen baby!! Those shots are actually decent.

Tsundere · Mar 8, 2014

Sad times when we start cheering about 792p.

Smash88 · Mar 8, 2014

Honestly...? People are willing to ban CBoat over 72p? Is this real life?

Also after playing the PC version of Titanfall, this is just plain fugly for what is considered a "next-gen" console.

Y2Kev · Mar 8, 2014

Well, duh. I didn't believe it was going to be upgraded to 900p despite it tearing and dropping into the 30s.

FourMyle · Mar 8, 2014

jesus this game looks like shit

A.D. Skinner · Mar 8, 2014

I didn't think it is just one time? This is the biggest wrong he has claimed either way. I agree with the post above as well, insiders are meant to be right. Have no opinion on whether a ban is needed, but from a long time lurking and seeing his posts, more and more errors have been creeping up. They probably found him/her by throwing out false information.

Either way, I cannot wait for this game!

R1CHO · Mar 8, 2014

Alpha or Beta textures.

720 or 792.

In any case dosnt look too good.

Seanspeed · Mar 8, 2014

JonStark said:

Wasn't just the one time, though.

MCD · Mar 8, 2014

JonStark said:

It's not that he messed up or they want his blood. It's because he betted against Respawn devs not once, but twice on the resolution and alpha textures.

I trusted his usual pre E3 leaks but I dunno why he insisted on the res and worse yet the alpha textures being final.

chubigans · Mar 8, 2014

Atilac said:

I dunno, he was very, very adamant about being right this time. He confirmed it twice, despite Respawn denying it in the very same thread.

There was no "hey things might change at a later date" thing, he was totally sure about the res/textures.

I don't want CBoaT banned either, but things aren't looking good.

Cow Goes Moo · Mar 8, 2014

I guess his ~~ship~~ boat has sailed

ekim · Mar 8, 2014

Is the day one patch already live?

BigTnaples · Mar 8, 2014

Really wish they had been able to hit 1080p @ 60fps on this title. Especially considering the graphical fidelity.

Really the only reason I am not picking this up for my Xbox One.

Holding out hope that a PS4 sequel in the future, (and hopefully the XBO version as well) run @1080p 60fps and enhanced fidelity.

For now, I am preloaded and ready to go on PC.

Byron Bluth · Mar 8, 2014

If more ban CBoat what a shame. His leaks and reveals that have been true make up for a simple thing like this.

Oh well.

Artex · Mar 8, 2014

This game was obviously made for last gen, but why so difficult to port and upgrade?

bidguy · Mar 8, 2014

whos cheering ?

vasametropolis · Mar 8, 2014

Smash88 said:

Well it's like probability. Statistically speaking rolling 6 is no closer to rolling a 7 than rolling a 3 is. Either he's right or wrong. And it looks like he was wrong.

WordsintheWater · Mar 8, 2014

I don't want cboat to be banned for this, but whatever the mods decide, they decide. On the discussion of the screenshots all I have to say that Titanfall is one ugly game.

PoloBlue28 · Mar 8, 2014

Baby Milo said:

Or.. He made false claims despite devs disputing it. Ass talk indeed.

Can't wait for TitanFall though, if it's cheaper on PC that's where I'll get it. None if that £59 MSFT DD tax.

MightyHedgehog · Mar 8, 2014

I had no problem with his rumors/leaks/whatever, only the cult of posters who constantly poison discussion with "ass storm" bullshit in every single fucking thread.

Khalifa Jayy · Mar 8, 2014

This game is showing its age already. Yeesh.

PerZona · Mar 8, 2014

792p or 720p, those screenshots still look BAD. Even playing the PC beta the graphics look way way better than these. Screenshots probably due to it's compression or something, but still =/

FTF · Mar 8, 2014

I really hope CBoat doesn't get bannedyeah, he's been wrong a few times but it's not like we have anything better as far as a possible good insider goes.

Also, those screen shots look pretty bad :/

legacyzero · Mar 8, 2014

FourMyle said:

I have to agree. So blurry.

It's not the prettiest game by any standard, but I'd rather play a game with mediocre graphics that I can actually SEE, versus one with pretty graphics that I cant.
