TitanFall (EA/Respawn, PC/XB1/360, Spring 2014, Game Informer Leak, All Info In OP)
- Thread starter Cartman86
- Start date
Think back to Dead Space 2. First half of a demo was at EA and the second half was at Sony. May seem something similar. If not, I don't blame EA for wanting to show off their own games at their own conference.
Déjà vu in this bitch.

I wonder if this was the massive 360 announcement Microsoft kept talking about.
Trailer at MS event with a bit of talk about it (Microsoft Platforms exclusive) and not much else. "Look forward to a live gamplay demo coming up at EA's event!" or something like that thrown in.
Gameplay at EA event. Game shown running on PC. News stating game will launch on PC and X1.

That's harsh and unfair. It's painting a massive group of people with a wide brush.
Why? Did you know for a fact MS was going to announce this? It seems EA was going to. It's not like MS was planning on focusing 2 hours on Titanfall.
Sony mole at GI confirmed?

holy shiit. i encountered this a lot when i was working retail part time a while back. no priorities at all. hell, they would resort to eating some really cheap and shitty food after they checked their bank accounts daily.
...and yet call in sick to go to the midnight launch of the next call of duty and have the budget to afford xbox live scrip and the game
Right, EA only has like 10 games to show if even, so they have a lot more time to work with.

This is why MS will never allow free online play. Millions of people are hooked. Online play costing money has become a normal ideal for them.

Who's presentation is first? I don't recall the exact times but I thought MS was on the first day?

so there are in game shots in the article right? how does it look?
MS goes first at 10am PST on Monday, with EA going at 1pm (I think?). I'm 100% certain that Microsoft would not pass up the opportunity to at least show a trailer for it at their event at E3 since it is (a timed) exclusive to their system. EA will get the stuff we really care about (gameplay) giving MS the opportunity to put it on a pedestal and say "It's ours."

haha that's pretty funny because of how so many guys in respectable careers like medicine, law and business play all the dudebro games because they're too busy with their real life and responsibilities to develop a """hardcore""" taste.

If this game relies on the xbone cloud, how can it work on a PC? Does that mean windows titles are also going to have access to the "cloud" ? Or the cloud stuff is just marketing BS?
I was wondering the same thing.
And are subject to lag, which pissed a ton of people off in Diablo 3's case.

Sounds about right. Shame about the exclusivity though. I don't think I'll purchase an Xbone and I suck at PC shooters. On the other hand I'll get to see/hear impressions of the game without falling behind the progression curve.
Kinda like those awful Nintendo fanboys and their twitter terrorism, ami rite bro?
(I agree with you by the way - I just find your statements often extremely ironic)

LOL!
On subject, I wonder if they will be cross platform multiplayer PC vs Xbone. I mean look at the success of Shadowrun!

So.. If MS is going to promote their cloudstuff with this game and in a year it will also release on PS4, does it mean MS doesn't really have that big advantages because of the cloud?
A "cloud" is a serverfarm that works with any device connected to the internet. Though EA may have to provide their own servers for the PC version.

Got to agree with this point. Amongst people I know in "upper-end" careers (with the notable exception of computer/software engineers) practically none are serious gamers. If they do play, it's the generally the dudebro titles, or something that really becomes a cultural touch point (think CoD, madden' wii sports, rockband). They'd look down upon most posters in GAF as the nerdy, never amounted to much type.

TitanFall sounds pretty damn cool from reading the details. Can't wait to see some footage at E3.
Not to mention most people are listening to Microsoft and assuming that using Azure for cloud computing will make for massive real-time gaming brawn. Which is exactly what it won't provide.
If it's used for anything other than game servers or offloading livestream encoding a-la BLOPS 5 years from now I'd be shocked.

Probably a reveal trailer at one and demo at the other.
When my buddy told me a huge mech game was coming to Xbone/PC, I immediately thought, hoped, it was Chromehounds 2. I'll never-ever-ever get that I guess. 
This maybe interesting. Glad it's on PC. Wonder how they're going to utilize the "cloud" on PC, as in, sign in a MS account to use their servers or what?
Also:
Wow...

Says who? An army of analysts once said modern combat games wouldn't sell either. "Dudebros" want compelling gameplay and friends to play with. CoD has, at a minimum, satisfied that last part.

Was CS:GO Source?
I'm just trying to gauge where my hype should at a game using Source.

Why do you keep posting this over and over, it's a little bit misleading. It's like saying yeah it's just a car...so what if it's a 2014 Ferrari...it's a basically a car same as my 2003 nissan. Yeah it's servers but saying it's the same as a single dedicated server running BF3...not true.
Interesting. Hopefully they get latency down pat so it doesn't impact gameplay then.
As for the comparison to AI control in D3 and WoW, do not want. Mobs bugging out and unkillable, invisible mobs hitting you, etc.
Do you have proof or a source? Or have you just bought into PR buzzwords?
I'm just going off what Game Informer has said, where the servers will be performing physics calculations. Which lines up with what occurs on any other dedicated server.
Not sure if serious.

yea it was source and it looks ok.
IMO the best looking source game is Team Fortress 2 on PC and that's because of the art style. I think Left 4 Dead 2 also looks good but I haven't played it yet
Main benefit of Source:
1080p
60 FPS locked
8X MSAA (I maxed out TF2 with my old 5850 1 gig card)
Lots of stuff happeneing on screen without slowdown
The only con of source is bad textures
Source (on PC) is usually so CPU heavy though - How will that factor in?
