Dat shit cray. (buttocks on a hype train)

yo'uere weolcom.e.v1yr timee vcluisve.

1 Year timed exclusive??? HE strikes again!!!

 

[opticalmace]

Oh. Just further cements the PS4 is going to have an awful US launch.

what? why?

 

[Interfectum]

Oh. Just further cements the PS4 is going to have an awful US launch.

What? How? TitanFall isn't even launching with XB1.

 

[SniperHunter]

yo'uere weolcom.e.v1yr timee vcluisve.

what?

 

[Grief.exe]

So... would the PC version be the lesser version since it doesn't have the "cloud"? Or is the PC version the bench mark and the X1 needs the cloud to achive that PC performance? They did say that this game would not be possible without the cloud.

Read this, explains the 'cloud.'

Dedicated Servers run Linux or Windows.

I used the Battlefield 3 example earlier.

A player shoots a rocket at a wall, the servers calculate the damage to the wall, and then transmit that data to the clients. Not difficult, been doing that for years.

This is what Microsoft describes as the 'Infinite Power of the Cloud™'

 

[jediyoshi]

Yet another sci-fi action shooter further solidifies my lack of interest in the Xbone.

What a scary world to live in where the addition of things takes away from your ability to not use it

CTRL+F: "story"

...1 result:

- Storytelling style will be more Left 4 Dead.

Fuck this. Clearly they could give a fuck about gamers like me who could give a fuck about multiplayer. There's nothing for me here. This has got to be the biggest disappointment for me in a long time. I expected the studio to evolve. Clearly I was expecting too much. I guess I'll be skipping this one. At least games like Medal of Honor tried. I'm out.

I'll keep an eye on it only as so far as to determine how the Co-Op campaign is. Hopefully it is far better than Left 4 Dead's attempt.

 

[Moobabe]

Oh. Just further cements the PS4 is going to have an awful US launch.

This isn't even out at launch?

 

[EdibleExplosives]

yo'uere weolcom.e.v1yr timee vcluisve.

So it's a timed exclusive then, I guess that's not surprising really.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Oh. Just further cements the PS4 is going to have an awful US launch.

Did you misunderstand something? Have you seen the PS4 launch lineup?

 

[nib95]

Who is cboat? And does that mean the PS4 will get the inevitable better version a year later?

 

[Paradicia]

Can someone tell me what credibility cboat has? Is he some industry insider that talks in riddles as a loop hole around NDAs? :lol

 

[lastflowers]

yo'uere weolcom.e.v1yr timee vcluisve.

a whole year. wow.

 

[AgentChris]

yo'uere weolcom.e.v1yr timee vcluisve.

Looking forward to playing this Spring '15 lol

 

[sleepykyo]

What? How? TitanFall isn't even launching with XB1.

It gives the impression that Microsoft can secure whatever exclusives it wants. Kind of like how the 360 had to contend with a non-existent amazing PS3. The PS4 is launching as a system with poor 3rd party support.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Cboat is an insider who nails rumors before they are even rumors. Read his post history, it would do you well.

Yes.

 

[SniperHunter]

Who is cboat? And does that mean the PS4 will get the inevitable better version a year later?

it's running on source. All versions will be equal.

That's cool.

You are reading way too much into this.

How is this not just a gigantic unfounded assumption. It's one title.

 

[Militant17]

Not possible without the cloud but will probably go multiplatform in the future.

PS4 has cloud confirmed?

[Deleted member 22576]

The endeavor to increase "time of life" really excites me, this seems to be a big trend in "next gen" multiplayer experiences.

 

[Interfectum]

Technically PS3 and 360 also have "cloud."

 

[SRTtoZ]

PS4 has cloud confirmed?

Its a 1 year timed exclusive so its obviously able to do everything without the cloud.

 

[Glorified G]

lol. I want to believe it's a troll post but there are fanboys that big around here.

 

[Klocker]

a whole year. wow.

yes they could be onto version two by then as well on Xbox, so we're looking at 2014 Xbox 2015 PS4

interesting Spring launch, although I know they are probably just needing that time for development, it also is a typically slow period when people are coming off their holiday Halo/ CoD highs.

 

[Y2Kev]

1 year is worthless, just go to titanfall 2 for ps4.

 

[Gumbie]

Dismissing Microsoft's Azure cloud stuff as "just dedicated servers" is a joke. I can go buy a nice rack server, host it on an awesome connection, and host a TF2 server on it and BAM dedicated server.

On the flip side you can't just go buy the massive resources that Microsoft has and have an infrastructure like Azure where you can spin up virtual servers and combine them to use massive amounts of memory and processor.

One game is poor third party support? lol

 

[Knoxcore]

One year exclusive is enough for this game to be the de facto exclusive on the XBO. By the time 2015 rolls around very few will care for this game on the PS4.

 

[Kodiak]

What a scary world to live in where the addition of things takes away from your ability to not use it

It's just confirmation that the direction microsoft is taking the XBone is an uninteresting one.

 

[Impeccable]

TitanFall(Respawn, PC/XB1/360, Spring 2014, PS4-Spring 2015(TRUTHFACT), GI Leak, Info in OP)

 

[jacobs34]

I'm done with this Cloud b.s. When are video game consoles going to start harnessing the power of the sun?

 

[Interfectum]

1 year is worthless, just go to titanfall 2 for ps4.

TitanFall GOTY Edition

 

[SRTtoZ]

TitanFall(Respawn, PC/XB1/360, Spring 2014, PS4-Spring 2015(TRUTHFACT), GI Leak, Info in OP)

Perfect.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

1 year is worthless, just go to Titanfall: Gold edition for PS4.

Fixed.. gimme all the DLC, you can have a year early. I'll play it on PC if it's popular.

 

[opticalmace]

I'm done with this Cloud b.s. When are video game consoles going to start harnessing the power of the sun?

Solar panels incoming.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Oh. Just further cements the PS4 is going to have an awful US launch.

Would some of you think before you post. If your logic is correct then Xbone will have an awful launch as well as this is a Spring 2014 game.

My goodness.

 

[Militant17]

Its a 1 year timed exclusive so its obviously able to do everything without the cloud.

Yeah I know. The post was tongue in cheek. Just making fun of the MS PR circus that's been going on within the gaming media lately.

 

[Pitmonkey]

So... whats the chances of Respawn dropping the bomb in regards to this being F2P in direct response to PS2.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

One year exclusive is enough for this game to be the de facto exclusive on the XBO. By the time 2015 rolls around very few will care for this game on the PS4.

Yep, That's the beauty of it.

 

[Forsaken82]

Moneyhatted. Think Mass Effect

Mass Effect is a different beast. The first game was Published by Microsoft and released prior to the EA buyout. Bioware up to that point had previously had a good relationship with MS.

This is more like the GTA4 DLC on a larger scale

 

[Bsigg12]

One year exclusive is enough for this game to be the de facto exclusive on the XBO. By the time 2015 rolls around very few will care for this game on the PS4.

Exactly. This is how Bioshock and Dead Rising both went down. Microsoft doesn't need a full on exclusive. They just need the game long enough on just their system so that it draws attention. By the time it comes out on the PS4, the hype surrounding it will be minimal.

 

[famousmortimer]

Also.. Kotaku should be in here gloating as well. They had this on April 29.


Kotaku has been spot on with leaks for a while now. They've been right about a ton of next gen stuff. Moreso than any other site that i've been paying attention to.

 

[Freki]

Oh. Just further cements the PS4 is going to have an awful US launch.

PS4 is launching Spring 2014? How is this a launch issue?
And as this only cements "an awful US launch" what else indicates and awful PS4 launch in the US?

 

[mbmonk]

We can rent servers from companies that can do that stuff.

Can you elaborate on the difference between a dedicated server and a cloud computer?
