Titanfall

First shot is from my PC.

Second shot is from Eurogamer’s “Tech Analysis: Titanfall beta on Xbox One and PC”, which was comparing with this shot from the Xbox One.
The article said this regarding the PC shot:

…when there’s actually better lighting and shadows present in the game on PC at maximum settings.
The effects probably weren’t patched in after the writing of the article, as they also appear in the loading screen for that scene.

Third shot is just an interesting graphical oddity caused by SGSSAA, unrelated to the first two shots (aside from the scene used)

Thanks. Any idea about modding support? Like would it depend on EA or something?

#103

Respawn is being coy about it. Personally, I lean towards a negative answer. They already pulled a stunt like that with MW2. They’re real fans of keeping a tightly controlled experience in their games.

#104

I like going into a group of 2 or more enemy titans and just meleeing them until I get doomed at which point I eject and self destruct with the nuclear addon thing, killing them all.

Also going around kicking people in the face. I have the speed addon instead of cloak and get speed burn cards as much as I can to go as fast as possible. That and always run. I’m glad they don’t give you a stamina bar for running. Kind of think it would be better with no iron sights though.

If they do eventually release modding tools… Shogo total conversion anyone? :smiley:

#106

Did someone say Shogo? Uhhhh… Fuck yes.

i played the beta and i have reason to believe there is going to be a “campaign multiplayer” that is different from the “classic multiplayer”

they are trying to merge MP with SP without making it a COOP (it seems)

and that “SP MP” may be the source of the whole storyline and where the giant aliens may be fought or interacted with

seeing that the content in the beta is already enough to warrant a full release, i imagine the final product is going to be FULL of surprises that we have only began to comprehend with those artbooks

Beta was supposed to end at 6PM PST today, which was almost half an hour ago. I played two games after the end time though and could have played more. Wonder why they’re not shutting it down. Not that I’m complaining, though I overplayed today in anticipation for it ending.

#111

So, this is a parkour first-person mecha twitch shooter? It sounds interesting.

#112

i like how the beta was more complete (and polished) than bf4’s current state post-release

#113

We need a like button.

#114

I played lots of Titanfall (just ask Maxey) and I also play lots of BF4, and I can say that BF4 is more complete than the Titanfall beta. If you’re joking, then sorry for not noticing, if you’re actually serious, I must say that you’re pushing it.

#115

BF4 is far more complete than Titanfall’s beta, obviously. I can’t completely disagree with the sentiment on polish tho. Apart from server issues, Titanfall beta ran like a well-oiled machine everytime. Which can’t generally be said for BF4 even today.

#116

I suspect that that is what he meant by complete: well-polished as opposed to lots of content.

Also, it’d be really really really cool if Titanfall had some sore of playable jet or heli or something. Seems like the perfect compliment for the titans.

#117

pretty complete to me

I didn’t expect Jedi Outcast… haha. That got a good laugh out of me.

If only they’d used most of that space for better quality textures…
