Support NeoGAF

[Grief.exe]

Good point, should hold me over.

Oh. Okay. Actually yeah, that sounds perfect.

March is going to be insane on PC, and the timing actually works out perfectly with a week or so separating both Dark Souls 2 and Titanfall releases.

If we get Destiny and GTAV as well during that time frame...

 

[Anth0ny]

Actually works out perfectly for PC players.

Titanfall, then Dark Souls 2 the next week.

oh fuck I just remembered PC version of Dark Souls II is delayed. SO DUMB.

Either way, I don't think I want to spend $60 on both games so close together. I think I would have checked out Titanfall if there was nothing else released so close to it, but with Dark Souls II only a week later... meh.

 

[Canis lupus]

Prototype, uncolored.

You can see example of coloring on the pilot on top of him, and the XO16 weapon he's holding.

Yeah the pilot being colored and titan not made me doubt if it was unfinished.

My birthday is actually around Dark Souls II release, so the timing couldn't of been better.

Pick up Titanfall

Spoiler

Steam version

for my self, then ask for the Black Armor Edition Dark Souls 2 for my birthday.

Yeah the pilot being colored and titan not made me doubt if it was unfinished.

Other guy wasn't capable of that kind of thought process apparently.

 

[Vanguardofyourdestruction]

Does anyone else think that Titanfall is just an awesome name? So boss.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

And there's really nothing stopping Sony from trying to persuade EA from bringing Titanfall to PS4 either. EA would love both companies throwing money at their faces.

Either way, I personally don't think this is a good direction for this thread. I feel that talking about the status of the game's exclusivity and whether or not it'll remain exclusive is only going to lead the discussion into a murky, muddy area.

EA don't own the IP though, Respawn do. So I'm not sure what EA could do or say if Respawn decided to accept an MS deal.

I doubt it'll happen, but then I never really expected Gears to be locked down to 360 when Gears 1 launched. They even stopped Epic from releasing the sequels on PC...

 

[Donos]

Really suprised about the same release date for 360 and PC. Got the impression that it would come out for Xbox one first and then the other two later down the road.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Is there a reason why everyone mentioning a possible PS4 version is getting banned? I just read the thread for the first time.

 

[BruiserBear]

Does anyone else think that Titanfall is just an awesome name? So boss.

Pretty much everything about the game seems boss to me. The name, the art style, the Titan designs, the Titan animations, the soldier animations, the gun designs, etc, etc, etc.

Epic stopped Epic from releasing the sequels on PC.

They release a game with some of the worst DRM we have ever seen, ask us to pay for P2P servers, then blame the low sales numbers on piracy.
Ridiculous.

 

[Tsundere]

Will get on PC most likely.

 

[RedAssedApe]

port begging or something

 

[eznark]

Sweet, glad it's simultaneous on PC. Surprised they announced it as such.

 

[aravuus]

I've already had my fill of GTA V but oh man, if Destiny also gets released around then... Guess I just gotta hope there won't be any important uni assignments.

 

[OrigiNull]

Actually works out perfectly for PC players.

Titanfall, then Dark Souls 2 the next week.

Have they confirmed a date yet for PC? I was thinking it was at the very end of the month for some reason.

 

[Can Crusher]

Hopefully the required specs aren't some insane shit on PC, specially since the cloud is going to be helping so much.

 

[OrigiNull]

The "cloud" is an Xbox One thing. I don't think the PCs are going to get access to that feature.

 

[Black Republican]

only the waiting for posters are getting banned, its pretty obvious why, dont be stupid.

 

[crun]

day 1 pc gjgj

 

[MasterOfPastures]

I'll get an Xbone before I have to support Origin. I'm holding out for a Steam release, and if they announce a PS4 version after release before a Steam one, I'll be fucking MAD.

 

[Grief.exe]

The "cloud" is an Xbox One thing. I don't think the PCs are going to get access to that feature.

I believe the PC version has access to the same servers

Spoiler

or is it the 360 version?

, that comment was largely a joke though.

 

[koutoru]

So it'll be out even before Watch_Dogs? Also, it'll be interesting if Infamous SS comes out in late February.

You basically have two big exclusives coming out possibly less than two weeks away from each other.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Can't wait to play this. PC version GET.

My wallet just started crying.

 

[eznark]

haha

 

[Adr1an]

Never expected this game to come out so early next year.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Awwyeah. Day 1 PC version. I'm curious to see what the min/rec reqs are for this game.

 

[Grief.exe]

Have they confirmed a date yet for PC? I was thinking it was at the very end of the month for some reason.

They haven't, and you could be right. I did say a week or so in subsequent comments, but the damage has already been done.

I hyped people up to a level never seen before.

So it'll be out even before Watch_Dogs? Also, it'll be interesting if Infamous SS comes out in late February.

Titanfall isn't an exclusive.

 

[Dysun]

Early next year should be pretty good with Titanfall, inFamous SS, Watch Dogs slated. Looking forward to it, hope my PC can run it decently (it's a bit old)

 

[nomis]

Goddamnit why can't they release one with JUST the art book like The Last of Us? I got over buying plastic toys with my games when I started having women in my bedroom more often than every 8 months.

 

[Can Crusher]

The "cloud" is an Xbox One thing. I don't think the PCs are going to get access to that feature.

Where have you read this? Pretty sure the PC will use Cloud for the A.I too since that's the way they are designing the game. No reason for it to be a "xbox one" thing...

I believe the PC version has access to the same servers

Spoiler

or is it the 360 version?

, that comment was largely a joke though.

Actually it wasn't. My PC is on its last breath as far as specs go.

 

[Pseudo judo]

Might double dip, Xbone & PC.

Considering Respawn has seemingly refused to state the port dev for the 360 version and the 360 doesn't support cloud features, which have been repeatedly stated as being a core part of Respawns design, it appears PC/X1 is the way to go here.

 

[EvB]

The "cloud" is an Xbox One thing. I don't think the PCs are going to get access to that feature.

They are indeed, Respawn confirmed that Microsoft had given them a solution to bring it to PC also.

 

[Grief.exe]

Actually it wasn't. My PC is on its last breath as far as specs go.

Well in that case, the cloud won't help you render the game or give you any meaningful performance increases.

Microsoft's version of the cloud is essentially dedicated servers. They have been offloading calculations for years in order to make the end experience better. For example, shoot a wall with in RPG in BF4, that calculation is done server-side, then broadcast to players so everyone is sync'd up correctly.

The positive aspect of the Microsoft dedicated servers is their ease of use from the developer side and price.

 

[MasterLeePhD]

I don't buy collector editions as they're usually shite! But I would've picked this one up if the statue of the Titan was smaller and cheaper.

Looking forward to playing this on my X1 next year.

 

[antitrop]

Fuck.








Yes.

 

[G_Berry]

Nice.

 

[p3tran]

 

[Grief.exe]

Goddamnit why can't they release one with JUST the art book like The Last of Us? I got over buying plastic toys with my games when I started having women in my bedroom more often than every 8 months.

I would appreciate this as well.

Release a steel book with an art book inside. Perfect.

I have no need, or want, for a statue in my house.

 

[Grief.exe]

Fuck.








Yes.

I thought they were using the CLOUD to actually process the A.I. Still I have hope by Quad + hd6850 can scrape by this on minimum. Visually it doesn't look demanding at all, so I hope it won't translate to odd min specs requirements.

 

[InvaderZimmer]

This is fantastic news! Can't wait to see how this effects gameplay and if this becomes a trend in pc gaming.

 

[OrigiNull]

Yep, I think when they originally announced it they were talking up the Xbox One version a little bit more and were cagey on their PC version talks but I found a couple more recent articles stating the PC version is getting dedicated servers.


I'll be interested to see what the spec requirements are but will probably pick this up on my Xbox One anyways just because I'll need something to play on it.

 

[Phades]

Also - wow, less than 5 months away? I better get to work.

Need to feed you more caffine to convert into code. ^_^
(hopefully only need small amounts of fine tuning and polish right now and no super crunch time in the home stretch)

 

[puebla]

Hope my 660Ti can handle what they're bringing, if not, probably going to upgrade to something on the AMD side this time around.

lol 660 TI should crush this no problem. i'm there day 1 for pc.

 

[Doran902]

Hoping for some system requirements. The cod ghosts system requirements have me scared for the future of console ports.

 

[Castef]

I don't see this game launching with a lot of maps. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I stopped long time ago evaluating multiplayer games based on the number of maps.

You just described Dedicated Servers. Nothing new here, as I said the advantages are on the ease of use for developers.

6850 is a quality card, far from having any issues running games.

 

[OrigiNull]

So I didn't realize this is running on Source Engine?!? I just assumed they were still rockin that idtech...

 

[a916]

GoldenSource was based off idtech...

 

[Doffen]

haha

It will have SmartGlass and Kinect integration though.
