This is why I wish games like this had offline bot matches or something. So you could at least do something with it when it gets retired. Well, in addition to the fact that I really like games with bot matches.
It actually looks pretty good, and this is coming from someone who plays the PC version on max settings (except textures down to "very high" from "insane" to keep down load times/eliminate in-game load stutter). This seems like a perfectly good way to play the game if you don't have a good gaming PC or Xone.

I wonder what iteration of TF we would be in when the first game retires from the servers.

Came into thread all happy like "yay, this version of TF doesn't look too bad!"
Now leaving thread all sad like "shit, I miss MAG."

lol at people piling on this post at the beginning of this thread. That HD footage on YouTube looks great
The textures were butchered. and it's 30fps.

Yep. I'd hate to see how the 360 version stacks up to the incredible texture work on the PC:

X1 version framerate is wildly inconsistent with more screen tearing and the graphics and textures were never good to begin with on any platform. Bluepoint pulled off a great port
Depends on the person.
If we're talking rock solid 30 fps with no tearing versus an unstable frame-rate with tearing (which is what 50 fps would end up being on most displays) then I'd go with 30 fps no question. Cannot stand unstable frame-rates, judder, and (especially) tearing.

pack it up this shot is absolutely representative of the whole. please why do people keep doing this.

I'm interested to see a Digital Foundry analysis between all the versions now that this is finally out. Of course the XB1 and PC versions look a lot better texture and lighting wise, but I wonder between the XB1 and 360 versions which plays better. From the looks of the videos posted I'm not seeing frequent screen tearing and horrible frame rate fluctuations in the 360 version. That alone might provide a superior play experience to some.

I'm actually considering dumping my xbone version for this one. I only played it a little bit before getting turned off by the dodgy performance

It's not like the textures on the PC or XBO version are worth writing home about. Forget the skewed side by side comparison which is just silly, but comparing full frame 1080p there's very little noticeable difference between High/Very High/Insane on PC.
As for 30fps, given the frame rate troubles on PCs and the XBO, I can't help but wonder if a locked but smooth 30fps isn't better overall. I'm lucky enough to have a system capable of running almost consistently at 60fps (the worst offenders are Lagoon, which regularly averages at 52fps, and Colony, which regularly averages 56fps) but the screen tearing, random double digit fps drops, and jarring is so atrocious at times -even with third party tweaks - that I need to stop and let my eyes recover.
All in all, Bluepoint delivered what appears to be a solid port that maintains the essence and pace of the game and may end up being a slightly smoother gameplay experience than the higher fidelity XBO/PC versions simply because the 30fps limit and reduced textures will even out the spikes. It'll be a perfectly fine experience for someone who only has an X360.

You can see screen tearing in a youtube video.....

Wonder how many of these type articles we will be seeing:
http://www.gamesradar.com/how-inconvenient-titanfall-xbox-360-looks-perfectly-fine/
how do you show unlocked framerate on youtube. isn't it 30fps...

Isn't this pointless since youtube is only 30fps?
Game seems a bit more juddery with 30 lock off but this is just a YT video, may be better when actually playing.
EDIT: Nevermind, it was just my computer acting weird. It looks fine now that I see it now.

Hmm not sure how I feel about that style of reporting
Still I expect many more articles that do not depict great difference between the versions sans maybe Polygon

What are the differences?
It seems like the same great gameplay.

This feels like a meme in the making.
I think that article pretty much nails it, especially the part about Microsoft not wanting to talk about that version.Hmm not sure how I feel about that style of reporting

Oh I think X360 will be a perfectly fine way of playing Titanfall hell while it will likely have a lower framerate I think it might suffer from less screen tearing
It does convey much of what is likely happening. I simply don't feel a lot of the memes and such are necessary in what is to be a piece of journalism
Dat eDRAM.
The framerate is getting unlocked for sure now.

I noticed a helluva lot more tearing in that video compared to the Lagoon video. I'll be rocking 30 locked. Best way to play if you don't want your eyes to bleed from all the screen tearing.

The resolution (but resolution doesn't matter to XB1 people, remember?), the frame rate (but the frame rate fluctuates so much on XB1 that the locked 30 without horrible screen tearing might be an improvement), and the texture and lighting quality.

Bluepoint found the hidden GPU!
Yep. I'd hate to see how the 360 version stacks up to the incredible texture work on the PC:
No, this isn't even debatable. The textures on the 360 version took a huge hit. It looks like a vita game at times (burning skies, black ops declassified) when it comes to the texture detail on geometry. Bluepoint did great. But concessions had to be made.
Hot damn. Before I was impressed in theory. Now I'm straight up impressed.
Microsoft has no say. They aren't the developers of the game. EA delayed it.
Have you seen Titanfall['s contract]?
Didn't a dev come in and say pretty much the same thing?
Have you seen their NDAs?

they're console war bait and get tons of views cause of cancer sites like n4g so there will be one from each outlet most likely.

Is there Split Screen online MP in the XB1 version? I didn't think there was?
https://twitter.com/Respawn/statuses/435277151453978624
Do you have a source on that? I wouldn't think a dev would weigh in on it
To me it looks a lot like MGS:GZ on Xbox One versus PS4, keep in mind the resolution difference isn't even near as big, and Tomb Raider. It's not a generational leap some may have expected.
It really is, considering one of the two games is running on hardware that is more than 7 years older, an arguably insignificant difference.
The bias runs deep huh? Well I can't win an argument if you don't use common sense.
I'll just leave the quote here
"Also, seems pretty common that people assume MS is the publisher and can make demands like not showing a particular version of Titanfall because it'll steal sales from... Titanfall... Rich!"-DKo5
He knows a hell of a lot more about this stuff than you.
-Edit- also, implying that the developer is lying because it doesn't fit your narrative isn't cool...

A'ight, this is fucking amazing footage from the 360.
They made the right decision to delay it, Bluepoint deserve all the kudos here.
Has anyone made a side by side video comparison of the 360/Bone versions yet? I guess we'll have to wait for the definitive one from DF.

ya TF on 360/XB1 is quite similar to what we've been seeing in cross platform games but this is just going to get much more scrutinized just because it is the flagship xb1 game, youre right though the differences in these cross platform games have been framerate and fidelity. but unfortunately what some deem as a big difference others may say there is little difference because of the subjectivity of visuals.

Are you calling out the Respawn dev as purposefully misleading everyone? I can only assume you have some insider knowledge about the contract with how you've worded this post.
Someone get on bish to verify so we get this moving forward.
