And still no XBOne preload
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but there won't be a xbox one preload at all.
And still no XBOne preload
Teenage me of 15 years ago's brain is exploding at the idea of how an oldschool .raw before manual conversion to something compressed is about 25 hours of bit-by-bit 0s and 1s audio. Not even a dual-audio visual novel JRPG is going to have that much audio time and it still doesn't explain the lack of compression. I admit that the idea of including 10 audio tracks on an NA-spec download file is rather progressive, at least!Uncompressed audio tracks can be 2-2.5GB. Now I imagine that they have all the languages in there (dubbed). Seeing how the beta had like 10 different languages already I can believe it.
I envy your ears if you can spot any difference between 512 and lossless no matter what the contents of the file are. But seriously, even the most trained ear isn't going to be able to distinguish even 256 in some video game audio. I don't understand.Can someone explain to me why a game needs uncompressed audio? I own a $1000 headphone setup at home and I cannot tell the difference between 512kbps mp3 and loss-less, and that is for symphonies, not stupid game sounds that are going to be heard through shitty speaker setups anyway.

I know, it sucks. Just hoping that it goes up sometime this weekend for Xbox One but that's probably just wishful thinking.
For some weird reason all the publishers have decided that Tuesday is the day to release retail games in Europe. .
With it being an online-only multiplayer game I could see it only having part of the game on disc and having the remaining data downloaded via Origin. I could see EA cutting costs by doing this instead of shipping the game on 6 or 7 DVD's.49.99 GB. That's why I ordered the PC disc release. Unless EA pulls a fast one and it's just a code for Origin.
Hey guys. I've never bought from origin before but how long does it take for them to approve my card? I've had a dollar charge since last night.
They came seconds apart for me, but in the pending category if I'm looking at my card's activity.

As soon as you have bought it on origin you get the option to preload, it preloads the whole game unto your harddrive and then the second it releases(midnight i guess) you get to download the last few KB's to unlock the game and start it up.I want to pre load because I know I want the game. However, it makes me a bit weary, I've never preloaded before. Does it give me the option after check out? Does pre load mean the acutal game is on my HDD? Does it unlock at midnight or does it unlock at noon?
anyone have keys from gmg yet?

That's one thing Origin has over Steam, download speeds do seem to be quite a bit faster.How does Origin allow me to download at speeds that should be impossible?
It's insane.
Edit:
I have mine.

Pre-purchased the game from gamestop on their digital service, what a POS.
They are claiming they won't have codes untill release day.
Don't anyone use them, only reason I did was because of a deal back in Sept.

I did really well on the PC with the controller. The game works really well with it.
Ds4 proved itself to be god tier yet again.
Well it's currently unpacking around 34gb of audio for me, so that leaves ~16GB for the rest of the data.
Besides if the full game is anything like that beta then most of that space is made up of sound.
But in reality they are not - Origin just calculates your "download" speed relative to the unpacked game size instead of the amount that is really downloaded.

Sorry, you guys both US or EU?
Titanfall is preloaded. I need to free up some more space :l
Origins said I was downloading at 9MB/s, which is fucking nuts. The fastest I've gotten out of Steam is 4MB/s.
I'm US.
Great, thanks. 50 GB wouldn't be doable by the 11th on my 1.5 megabit connection but I should be able to squeeze out 20.
I am in N/A and it won't let me preload...am I missing something? I just hover over the game and I should be given the option, right?
The actual download size is 49.99GB. Check the folder size during d/l.
Download size is actually just shy of 20GB, I measured it with my bandwidth meter while downloading, sucks to be on a data cap.
