Vince Zampella: Titanfall beta was full res textures

Heh, yeah --- I'm pretty sure the game will be forgotten months before the Fall shooters come out; even though many people were addicted to the beta that had only two maps.
Definitely believable.

You mean the topic isn't about Cboat?
Oh, uh... I actually haven't really had a problem with the way Titanfall looks, in terms of textures or resolution. No, I'm not "blind", and I certainly can tell the difference, it just doesn't really bother me. I can understand why it's a hot topic for people, though; Microsoft has probably dumped a billion dollars into this project when you count advertising, purchased exclusivity, and every which way they've bent over backwards to make it "special" - it's not unreasonable that people are expecting something rolling in with that much ridiculous hype to knock their socks off.
Personally, I'd just rather it ran at a consistent frame-rate. If they could get me 60 fps with uggo Alpha textures, then bring 'em on. I really hope they aren't intentionally taking a performance hit just because they feel like they've been goaded into ramping the graphical fidelity because of Resolutiongate/Texturegate/etc.
The Destiny hype train will be starting, but Titanfall will be on people's lips all year.

Glad Im not the only one who noticed that in the last few threads. That and people who rarely seem to post in anything X1 or PS4/Microsoft or Sony related normally.
Anyway as you said, back on topic.

The release is gonna be fucking crazy and they will establish a solid foundation. Just dont see any legs. Especially after a combination of Destiny, Halo, and CoD hit later this year.
Who gives a shit about Sledgehammer CoD? I hated Modern Warfare 3.

Wait, is this year's CoD going to be a good CoD or a bad CoD? I'm losing track...

I hope Destiny crushes the competition. I want to see more shooters that promote longevity through an actual gameplay experience, like Borderlands.
All those games come out after E3 though. I do agree that Titanfall will probably lose a bit of its buzz when those games come out; well more so just Destiny and Halo. I think COD is beginning to lose a decent amount of its mainstream appeal due to yearly releases + Ghosts being disappointing to many people.

Yeah...no. This game will be all the rage until the next game in the series drops.

I think this game's going to have issues, nothing to do with it's graphics but the fact that it's catering to what I can only imagine is a small fraction of the game playing audience: competitive online MP enthusiasts on 360/PC/X1, who like futuristic scifi, and are willing to pay $60 and not get a single player campaign or any kind of offline mode.
Those players exist, for sure, but not in any kind of numbers like the audience for the average CoD game.
Unknown, it's Sledgehammer this year.
I think they're now on the "two bad ones then a good one" schedule. 2015.

Yeah, I was under the impression Treyarch's stepped up to be the good (or best, anyway) CoD developer and Infinity Ward has sunk into a deep depression. I really have no idea what to make of Sledgehammer. I guess it'll be interesting to see, at least.
I can't possibly imagine what they could do to get me to turn off Titanfall for CoD, it's just not going to happen.
They sure have an uphill battle to make people give a shit, this year.
This is a monster year for FPS. Last year was shit for FPS and people still hated Ghosts.

Trying to follow the example laid out previously by Imperfected...
Sub_Level, your opinion is absolutely insane and completely out of touch with reality. Your personal feelings (whatever they may be) appear to be clouding your analysis. What are you basing your opinion on? And where does Halo even come into play this year? An anniversary edition for a 10-year-old game won't take away any attention from the hot new shooter IP.
I'm sure that you are quite the nice guy and no ill will is directed to you as a fellow human being.

It doesn't matter if Halo, destiny or COD are coming this year.
Titanfall is going to have its own dedicated fanbase who will be playing the game for a very long time. Yes some will play more destiny, some will move to Halo, some will go to COD
But people will always make time for a few matches of Titanfall.
The only thing that is going to happen in the fall is its going to become less of a system seller and more just a cool game to own. 7 months after release, it think it will have served its purpose anyway.
Honestly, If i was an X1 owner and wasnt interested in shooters id kinda be getting worried at this point.

crazy is his first name, and his middle name is buttocks. maybe he won't be gone forever. maybe...maybe just on vacation.
Considering they were dealing with a lesser-form of the Infinity Ward we're used to now, I'd say they did a pretty good job. The studio has great pedigree, too.

I think the game was a lot of fun in the beta but I am waiting on the reveal of other modes and ways of playing than just team death match and domination.
If I feel the game has enough variety I'll get the PC version but otherwise I see myself continuing to play battlefield 4.

I bet most CoD players don't play the single player.
The real problem with Titanfall is that it's not as competitive as player only multiplayer games and competition is what gives multiplayer games legs. Real bomb will drop if and when Titanfall 2 comes out with 64 players and no bots. Frostbyte is begging to be used for the sequel. One can dream right? The only downside is that if Respawn chooses to use Frostbyte, they'll likely stay with EA.

I could believe Treyarch might come up with something. They're pretty inventive, and seem like they're getting more and more creative license as time goes on. I'm guessing Sledgehammer is being kept pretty close to the "script" until they prove themselves, though, so if I had to hazard a guess it will probably be CoD by-the-numbers.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see, though. I'm willing to give them a shot.

Hell I'm still playing Team Fortress 2 daily and that was released a long time ago. Good games get very dedicated fanbases.
It'd be nice to see Treyarch on some new IP. One can dream.

There's no real way to know for sure, but I suspect the opposite, that most CoD players do play the campaign at some point.
For me would be a nightmare.
Frostbite has alot of problems and is definetely among the worst choices for a fast-paced and tight FPS.
Just a couple of points here:
The success of titles is front-loaded more than ever. I feel like the general zeitgeist of AAA gaming follows similarly: People play the hyped game of the month and move on to next big thing or return to their staple. That staple has absolutely been Call of Duty for the last 5 years. The problem with so many creatively bankrupt games that have chased after the same audience (I'm looking at you MoH) is that they didn't represent enough of a departure from that Call of Duty formula (some did like BC2 and BF3, both of which were hugely successful), so gamers simply returned to purer more potent form of that same experience -- Call of Duty. Getting back to your point, I think looking at TF six months down the line will be the true litmus test for whether this franchise has the potential some claim or whether it is ultimately "CoD with mechs." I think it'll much together for the masses than it will be for you; it does matter if players leave. TF does not want to be Halo in the sense that people buy the game and stop playing weeks later (huge drop-off in MP numbers). Halo is still a relevant, popular franchise but it was absolutely neutered by CoD.

So how many of you guys are going to get it on XB1. I mean especially the ones who have both, a capable PC and an Xbox One. In my case, i will be getting it on PC since i don't own an Xbox One and i don't really want to play it on X360.
I am, yeah. Speaking of, is there any way of downloading it on March 11 if we're not in the US?
I am(even as a SLI 670 owner), already preordered in full as well.=O
dont be silly he posted it 2 times or even more and thats not the only thing he got wrong
I hope so.
Something had to give and it seems like it was the graphics, although with so little time until release, we still no nothing officially about the contents of the disc. I know a lot has been leaked, but until someone comes out and confirms, we don't really know what is on the disc.

I think they just came in at the end to help finish it. I don't expect their game to be anything like MW3.

If cboat was wrong.. I can't blame him TF still has that look like a current gen gen. I hope he won't be banned though. We can't and shouldn't expect cboat to be right every time.

If that is the case, is CBOAT useful to us anymore?
He's the hero GAF deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll ban him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

Actually, there may be one way. Someone with a PS4 could look up trophy rarity for singleplayer trophies in the COD games

Wow me neither. I'm very curious on how reviews will be. And then of course how sales will turn out.
