I hope everybody likes pictures of guys eating cheese.
Pixel counters assemble! 720p?
"Hey the Titanfall alpha build is ready to deploy, looks like it's about 5.6gb."
"Make it 3.4gb. We need to get this build to people as fast as possible."
Why does everything have to be a conspiracy?
Yes? It's "just" a short server test for Respawn. It's the gamers that see it as a weird advance demo.
BF3 alpha had awful grainy looking textures too. They got better and the client bigger once they went open beta.
Chubigans reeaching for straws trying to make an Xbox One game look/sound bad. I for one am SHOCKED.
Looks like the servers are getting hammered.
My god, it can't look that bad on release.

Hey they only have a 500Gb hdd. Let us be nice and give them a 1Gb smaller download .

Alright, I could be wrong. Just seems silly to me. We'll find out soon enough.
oh no i've been found out nooooooooo
Because we see this excuse all the time (especially at e3) and I can't name a single game that received a drastic upgrade and released 2 months after the "dont worry it's alpha". Hell the entire 360 launch was wrapped in a big "dont worry it's alpha kits" excuse. EA/Respawn knew footage of the game would go viral and nobody would see whatever disclaimer they put on the launch. If it was really below their standards, they simply wouldn't have made it public To save a few GB? Really? We've already seen the game running on high-end PCs without having to download anything and it doesn't look much better.

off topic but my wife is in love with your game and tries to sell it to everyone she comes into contact with. bravo dude.
I thought that was the purpose on the alpha?
You can make almost any game look like shit by uploading a screenshot of it to Imgur... They are the JPEG compression kings.
Uh oh what's this
I would honestly say it looks pretty bad on a 55 inch TV and actually playing it. Not as bad as the compression on Imgur...but yeah.
I'll second that, well done! The wife and I quadruple dipped.. We both bought it for Steam and iPad. So fun.Hah that's awesome, thanks!
those textures...
let us pray.
Not to mention it's Alpha code.You can make almost any game look like shit by uploading a screenshot of it to Imgur... They are the JPEG compression kings.
I think the HQ 1080p E3 Gameplay Demo from Gamersyde looks pretty great, so I'm honestly not worried about the graphics one bit.
I'll be playing it on my PC, anyway, I'm just here because Titanfall.

Is this from an official set?
Nah, it was built by a MS employee to celebrate the Alpha: https://twitter.com/BruceBrownXbox/status/424261982368174080/photo/1
This is gold. It's strange but it gives such a good feeling to "journalist" not getting access for once.
A part of me feels joy to see the privileged press that gets early access to almost every game (and often rubs it in the face of "consumer peasants") moaning about this on Twitter.
During my first game this guy was screaming, "THIS IS AWESOME! OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!", literally the entire match haha.
Now that half of you are browsing crappy unauthorized cellphone pics...
TO BE EXPLICIT:
All textures in this Alpha Test build are at 25% of the final game's resolution. So if you're staring at a 256x256 texture, that's actually a 1024x1024 texture in the real game. 512? That's a 2048. It's a huge, huge, huge difference. Especially on terrain, weapons, cockpits, hands, effects, etc.
There's a reason the build is under NDA. It's not for showing off, or giving people a fair idea of what the game looks like, or for pixel counting. You'll still have your chance to scream "lolz pixels lazy devs Goldeneye N64 lololololol", but now is not the time.
(Well; menu images are probably full res.)

He works at Respawn.Where did you get this info? and it's 1/16 = 6.25% not 25%.
