Congrats to respawn. With no Xbox One, gold sub or PC capable of running it, I'll be sitting this one out but hope the best for them after their nasty break-off with Activision.

 

[brandonh83]

Single digits? Ouch.

Standby for fpsfall

 

[Effect]

wtf is this 'review in progress' garbage on IGN?

It's an online only game. I don't see how you can get a true impression of such a game until it's open to the masses to see how things hold up. How the servers handle things, what issues do they cause, should be key for an online only game. Are people forgetting all the issues Battlefield 4 had and still has? Does anyone think it deserves the high scores it got once customers were able to play under true real life conditions? Are people forgetting about thew new SimCity? Every MMORPG that exist?

As much as I enjoyed the beta (which had a lot disabled) I don't think you can trust any high score until the doors are open to everyone.

Tearing, framedrops and aliasing on Xbox One.

Jeff confirms frame rate drops to single digits and tearing in the final XBOX ONE release.
I might pass.

Yeah, sounds like a perfect 9 or 10....
*cough*

 

[Quentyn]

Probs to the sites that are waiting with the score. That's the right decision.

 

[statham]

Seriously? I live in Canada and have never heard of this. Are we going to start putting bloggers reviews up next?

lol, I'm posting what I see on twitter.

 

[Bsigg12]

9s, 9s for as far as the eye can see.

Congrats Respawn.

But Polygon says it's never not playable.

Titanfall sits at 60 frames per second most of the time, but when three or four Titans are on the screen at once, firing rockets and arc blasts, things take a dive. It's never not playable, but it is noticeable.

 

[Glorified G]

My friends are thanking me that I recommended them to get X1 over PS4 now. Oh dear.

And they'll probably yell at you in 2 weeks when they find out a 360 version exists.

 

[RMI]

EGM gave it a 10? Dang

Do their scores mean anything after giving a 9/10 to Aliens: Colonial Marines?

Anyway, not surprised this game is reviewing well.

 

[Future PhaZe]

you know

there is a pc version

 

[Zabant]

Jeff said Titanfall will be 4 Stars if the servers aren't jacked.

That's a 80/100 on metacritic so there's your first 8/10.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

[EL CUCO]

9's and a few perfects? All legit scores. GG, MS and EA.

 

[therealminime]

Excellent scores.

DROP A BOMB ON IT

 

[jabuseika]

From Giantbomb-

The frame rate in Titanfall is uneven on the Xbox One and though it's usually fine, it can get downright nasty in specific situations. In one Last Titan Standing match--where every player spawns in a robot suit--several players crammed their mechs into a tight area and began duking it out, and the frame rate dived down to what must have been single digits per second.

Umm single digits framerate? That is completely unacceptable.

 

[The Cowboy]

Can you fix the polygon score bolding, for some reason its really annoying me (dam my OCD!).
-
That's a lot of 9's.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

But is has guns and mechs and the color brown and it's an Xbox exclusive. Those flaws seem negligible to me.

5/5 from Rev3 (Adam Sessler)

purchase vindicated

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Scores so far seem better than I certainly anticipated.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

They gave Colonial Marines a 9?

How. How in the fucking world is that even possible.

 

[MrCookiepants]

There are many 8's. Nobody reads the thread apparently.

 

[Ikuu]

Game would be so much better without all the shitty AI minions and the 6v6.

 

[brandonh83]

Umm single digits framerate? That is completely unacceptable.

They can just patch it later.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Really?? 10/10s?

 

[ACE 1991]

Titanfall's moving parts complement each other well, and take a familiar FPS formula and make it feel fresh--it's just a shame that it relies so heavily on the familiar. You'll eventually hit a point--like you do in nearly every game--where you feel as though you've done everything there is to do, and because you're still just playing Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag, that time comes quicker than you might think. - Gamesradar review

This is my biggest concern with the game.

 

[Bundy]

you know

there is a pc version

So there a two different scores. One for each version?

 

[SlowRevolution]

But Polygon says it's never not playable.

I'd take Jeff's word over Arthur's.

 

[Forgottonone]

Yeah, sounds like a perfect 9 or 10....
*cough*

Aren't Microsoft and Ea almost the King of updates. Expect a day one patch that pushes it up to the double digits.

 

[Intheflorsh]

From Giantbomb-

Oof. That at 792p. Oof.

Sounds like the PC version is the definitive version.

 

[WhupTroy]

The feels when the xbox 360 version gets higher scores 2 weeks from now....

 

[Zeppeli]

They gave Colonial Marines a 9?

How. How in the fucking world is that even possible.

 

[Neuromancer]

Good on Giant Bomb and Edge for waiting. They may lose some clicks but they gain credibility.

"Framerate is king"
- Respawn

*sigh*

 

[Acquiescence]

 

[polyh3dron]

Remember when EGM threatened to lower Warhawk's review score if it cost any more than $30 on the PSN store due to being multiplayer only?

 

[Quentyn]

Game Informer will post their review in the next couple of days.

[1.21Gigawatts]

My prediction was 88 Metascore iirc.

 

[jayu26]

Congratulations to Respawn for releasing your first game, and getting great reviews all around.

 

[hodgy100]

I really appreciate websites holding out for real-world test's. I will defiantly treat their reviews as if they have a higher weighting.

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

CAN. NOT. WAIT.

 

[Feorax]

Framerate issues on XB1 make me glad I'll be getting this on PC. Good to know the overall game is solid though.

Well, assuming EA's servers hold up.

 

[funkystudent]

Hey. At least a few sites had the sense to hold off scoring it until the servers are hit.

Baby steps!

 

[Lucifon]

Jeff confirms frame rate drops to single digits and tearing in the final XBOX ONE release.

Pretty sure it's going to be exactly like the beta performance. Single digits is either an exaggeration or going to be a v.rare case. So if you were happy with the beta, I'm sure you'll be happy with the final game.

 

[Ragus]

9's and a few perfects? All legit scores. GG, MS and EA.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Metro is certainly one opinion I usually respect, only disagreed with them once over Heavy Rain during the old Teletext days

 

[LuchaShaq]

Any review that launches before public servers are available is horse shit. At least a few places like giantbomb and the escapist have a set of balls and ethics. Expecting a 30 out of ten from polygon.

Crazy thing.

I shudder to think what would situation be if the game processed AI for bots locally. They would have to reduce the graphics even more back... if such thing is even possible.
