Awesome, really looking forward to this on PC and XB1 after the beta. I'm assuming they managed to iron out the framerate issues many people were experiencing. Really curious if there's any chance a XB1 day 1 patch hits that bumps it up to 900p. I'm not going to hold my breathe and would prefer they keep framerates high anyway, but it'd be nice. At any rate, can't wait to play it!
Dat sexy box art.

As of now, no.
It seems like they're working on it because a Titanfall pre-load page did popup on Xbox.com for a day. It may not be ready in time for the game though, but I imagine it should be coming in the spring sometime for future titles. Just guessing though.
where does it stand. 792p -or- 900p
So it's not 1080p but it's been said that they aren't dropping the 792p res, so...either 792p or 900p.

I microwave steaks.
or, 793p, believe.

Would be nice if they managed to make it even better for the final game, but I didn't have a major problem with it in the Beta as is. I thought it performed pretty well, only dipping in more chaotic moments, but even then it didn't really strike me as detracting too much from what was otherwise an extremely fun gaming experience. I'm going off of a limited set of games since I played it at my friend's, but I feel I got a pretty accurate feel for the game in my time with it.
But, again, whatever improvements they can manage to make are most certainly welcome. That'd just be the icing on the cake.
Forgive my ignorance but can anyone tell me why we use the term "gone gold" to mean that the master is complete in the gaming industry and when did we start using that term? Seems more recent. I think a lot of confusion would be cleared up among the majority of people if that term meant the same as it does in the record industry and be related to sales of the game instead.

It's actually been around for quite a while.
don't know how accurate this is, seeing as though it's urban dictionary:
"A game has "Gone Gold" when the final master copy has been produced at the developer and sent off for replication, packaging and shipment. The game is not yet released, but it will typically be around 2-3 weeks (sometimes less) before it begins appearing on store shelves and online pre-orders arriving at doorsteps. The term itself comes from the old practice of recordable CDs being manufactured with gold film. Hence the gold colored CD actually being the source, with no reference to copies sold as in the recording industry."
Hmm I'm almost 31, have been gaming since I was little and have only noticed it in the last few weeks haha. I always assumed it was related to sales until I realized these games aren't even out yet. I think it's misleading as a news headline for most glancing casuals since I am sure most think it means the game already sold over 500k copies.
From what I recall, the "gone gold" is from the CD days. The master cd/game was printed on a gold cd for the master. That copy was put into the system and from there they copied it to the regular cd/dvds/blurays we all know and love.
I actually can't believe you haven't heard of it before

I honestly don´t think this is the case - it has been around for a really long time, I´m talking decades here.
EDIT:
DECADES!

Weird. Like I said, I always equated going gold with RIAA-certified Gold record, Platinum record etc... recording industry usage. So maybe whenever I heard or saw the term I automatically assumed it meant it was hitting sales milestones and never even bothered to look into it any deeper

I'm so ready for this shit. Titanfall + Dark Souls II is like the best combo for march. Got dayumz.
Hoping to have a nice surprise for the final game with a bit more graphical bling than the beta, but that's still secondary to how fun it is. Can't wait to discover the other maps too.

A little birdie gave me something.
I would keep that disc as far away from your Xbone as possible. MS gets even a sniff of that on your system, and they nuke it from orbit.
N/M saw that you were bullshiting.

Looking forward to playing it again. Playing BF4 in the meantime has sucked.
I did beforr for BF4 and it was fine. FlyVPN.

Amazing, isn't it? Almost revolutionary.
I mean there's no way they went gold days/weeks ago and the beta was actually almost-final code, now is there??
No way, sir
Not funny, and not framebuffer pitch aligned.
Hey Drew!! Congrats again! to you and everybody in the team 8)Is this real life?
Been a long four years.
and for when you need some quality relax time, remember my pm
haha these things remind me of how much of an old-ass gamer I have become.
I dont know what kind of game (or whatever thing) it would take now for me to ..compose and sing a song?
and this with titanfall being easily my most anticipated release...
still, I enjoyed and laughed too
BRING ME THE TITANS!!

Wouldn't matter, the stuff they could've been looking into could be completely transparent on the user's end.

And they have patches, but still.
It was 95% marketing, like the resolution discussion

Framerate and tearing should really be the first priority.

Swords ?? not sure if it's just teasing us with clever wording or are there actually swords in ?

Stop playing with my heart Respawn....
It hasn't just gone gold, it has a sealed box, with what I would assume to be a pressed copy, so it has gone gold been sent to MS, met Requirements checklist and been pressed/Packaged/sealed and sent to Respawn.
