[Timu]

Ah I see, I wasn't aware it was so demanding, was fortunate enough to have a decent experience at that setting. That's too bad, hopefully it can be improved. How much VRAM was it wanting?

3,5GB on my rig.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Are we really still talking about banning an insider who's had an established track record over a couple of missed information drops?

Unfortunately Bish said he would probably go down. I really hope they decide against it, I know they don't want people peddling bad info (which I agree with), but he's entitled to a miss. It hasn't exactly become a trend yet.

 

[Osiris]

Not buying the game because of the textures or because you didn't like it?

Textures, tearing and poor performance on a rig it really shouldn't have had poor performance on.

A bit hard for me to see through the problems and just concentrate on the 'fun' aspect.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Bish said he might get banned over this.

I'm aware. I'm also aware Bish is sensible.

Spoiler

Otherwise all of us in the NHL thread would have been banned a long time ago by him

I think he would have been cool if he wasn't so damn adamant about insisting the Alpha textures were final, after we all played a Beta that had better textures. The ones that Vince is now claiming are final.

His bad for being so stubborn on obviously bad info.

Maybe he trusted the source he got it from 100%? This part seemed odd to me too.

Unfortunately Bish said he would probably go down. I really hope they decide against it, I know they don't want people peddling bad info (which I agree with), but he's entitled to a miss. It's not like he's had a long trend of misses either.

 

[allgamespc]

For some reason the beta would crash when I set textures to 'Extreme'.

Either way, the game overall looked okay.

if i am correct, the extreme textures is for 3gb vram, which i find to be absolutely ridiculous considering it doesnt look that good.

 

[antitrop]

3,5GB on my rig.

My 1.5GB GTX 590 am cry. I can nearly max out Battlefield 4, it just shouldn't require that much VRAM for those textures. =/

But whatever. I had so much fun with the Beta I would still buy the game if I could only run it on Low settings.

 

[realcZk]

Minimum 3GB.

Holy cow. I should have checked how much it was using, I have 3GB exact. That's pretty insane though, I haven't heard of anything near that for games.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Maybe his/her account was hacked by Penello....

God knows Penello hasn't been back under his own account regularly since he finished peddling his launch spin.

 

[BuggeryBugz]

Fair enough. I was just curious.

It's a beta. Not exactly fair to judge the final game's performance on that. I wouldn't blame you for waiting it out to see the results though.

 

[reptilescorpio]

CBoaT doubling down on this after the Beta is the weirdest thing ever.

Account suicide so he can start a new account without all the heat on him.

 

[Frayne Daddy]

I thought the game didn't look that bad. Can't wait for launch!

 

[Danny 117]

God knows Penello hasn't been back under his own account since he finished peddling his launch spin.

He was back in the Xbox One update thread afaik, or was it the headset adaptor one...

Great news about the textures, at least that crazy CBOAT nonsense can be chalked up as a miss.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

God knows Penello hasn't been back under his own account since he finished peddling his launch spin.

Nah, I say Crazy is Penello's alternate persona that he isn't aware of. Like a werewolf only on a full moon does the buttocks arise out of Penello, he spreads his information and when the sun comes up he recedes into the his shell aka Penello, waiting for the time to come out once again.

 

[travisbickle]

CBOAT wasn't mistaken. I believe 720p + alpha textures was 'on the table' as a solution to frame rate and CBOAT double downed on it because frame rate wasn't stellar in the beta.

 

[vxXJordanXxv]

Anybody else refreshing Cboats page in a wait to see if there is a banned? Bish have mercy.

 

[CreepingFear]

I don't give a shit, the game's fun. If I wanted great textures, I'd play BF4 or Crysis 3.

 

[Lulubop]

You were able to use it though with less. My buddy who had 2 was just fine. Another who had 1.2 GB had less luck though.

My card has 2 and I certainly was not fine. Hopefully it's something fixed for the retail version because the cost was not justified.

 

[antitrop]

CBOAT wasn't mistaken. I believe 720p + alpha textures was 'on the table' as a solution to frame rate and CBOAT double downed on it because frame rate wasn't stellar in the beta.

Or they could cut the 2x pass of MSAA.

Man, I can't wait for that DF analysis, even though I'm playing the game on PC. It's just too interesting.

Oh and it was at 2560x1440, forgot to mention that.=p

Holy shit, really? I apologize then.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

To be fair, we need to have the final version on our hands before jump into conclusions if Cboat was right or almost right.

 

[tfur]

So, did anyone follow up with a tweet something like:

"Are the final product textures exactly the same as the beta textures on both PC and XB1?"

 

[opticalmace]

How decent were the textures in the beta?

 

[Vanillalite]

How decent were the textures in the beta?

Meh.

Hardly terribad by any stretch, but hardly "next gen" either.

 

[Silky]

So CBOAT is 2 for 2 with his missed leaks, eh?

One for Prince of Persia reboot at E3, the other with this.

Three strikes, he's out? He definitely didn't miss the mark with Source 2.

 

[Danny 117]

Holy shit, really? I apologize then.

You only need to update the controller if you're using the Headset adapter. And both the adapter and the Stereo Headset come with a cable (it's MICRO USB)

Yes, the tweak to the sticks came with the last (Feb) update.

There it is, he was in the headset adapter thread this week. Conspiracy!

 

[wsoxfan1214]

To be fair, we need to have the final version on our hands before jump into conclusions if Cboat was right or almost right.

Yeah, this too.

Or with a huge list of other things over the years.

 

[Timu]

Well...

My screens from the X1 version.

 

[Oppo]

PoP was an easy oversight considering the character of that Halo teaser.

Something is missing in this whole micro drama. Doesn't add up.

I thought he was given a pass for the Prince of Persia leak seeing as the Halo trailer looked so similar to a PoP game. Maybe he didn't see the full trailer and just assumed PoP based on the cloak.

RIP CBoAT

Spoiler

nevr 4get

Honestly though why do they tout this? Graphics are pure ass on my PC and I'm sure the framerate dips weren't on my end.

Well...

snip

My screens from the X1 version.

Wait how? Is this High on PC ... or is this the other higher level?

 

[Silky]

What I'm saying his CBOAT's goods add up too much compared to his bads. I couldn't care less if Bish shits on his grave after banning him or whatever but, hey, the dude has his juicy info. Obvious that the fruits are all juiced out.

CBOAT just needs to get some fresh fruit is all

 

[Imperfected]

It's a beta. Not exactly fair to judge the final game's performance on that. I wouldn't blame you for waiting it out to see the results though.

This is only true of closed betas with an NDA. If you do an open beta with no restrictions on disclosure you are implicitly asking for people to judge the game based on what you have provided. An open beta is a pre-release hype tool more than a legitimate testing environment; think of it more like a public free demo, because that's exactly how the publishers think of it.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Toss in some V-Sync to get rid of the tearing on the X1 version (this was my biggest gripe) and I'll be happy.

The textures were OK enough, some tweaks would be appreciated however.
This 1080p patch worries me though, I'd rather keep 900p and 60fps solid, than 1080p and drop to (god forbid) 30fps.... unplayable in my opinion.

 

[UnrealEck]

The game puzzled me.
It ate up so much VRAM on my PC that it didn't run on the 'insane' texture setting. A setting which was far from an 'insane' texture quality.

 

[shandy706]

Perfect first post.

Who cares? Lol

Agreed.

 

[Timu]

No PC, just X1 screens taken from my capture card.

 

[polyh3dron]

Well I guess we still have CBOAT's balls.

 

[Wizman23]

So, did anyone follow up with a tweet something like:

Hanging on for that last bit of hope I see. The desperation for the XB1 version to be bad is beyond hysterical. The Titanfall OP will be EPIC

 

[Atraveller]

Textures looked like ass in the PC beta.

Yeah, and I maxed out the game.

 

[SargerusBR]

So with this CBOAT is gone right? I Wonder who will take his place as God of Leaks now... famousmortimer?

 

[FuriousDark]

Edit: I made another post in the next page with a picture that better described my question.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Who cares? It looked good enough on my PC, ran like butter, and it was fun.

Should have been first post.

 

[shandy706]

Well...

My screens from the X1 version.

Yeah, it looks pretty good actually. More than acceptable.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Farewell you Crazy Buttocks.

 

[potam]

I'm no MS/EA hater most of the time, but I still have some faith in cbutt since those two are involved. I'm not saying he's right, but it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that they pull the ol' okiedoke.

 

[Metalingus5150]

The textures are serviceable enough for a few people I know to claim the game looks amazing.
