Titanfall Gameplay Footage (Embargo Lifted)

Ahaha when he got executed from behind, his first person view turned 180 degrees to look at the player that did it in the face.

It's like the MW2 neck stab moment but all the time now.

edit: it was actually not a neck stab, but a heart stab and eye roll.

Jumping cooldown, did you even play any high mobility shooter seriously? UT2K4, Quake, anything?

Terrible terrible idea/mechanic.

I played tons of both of those series. But this does not look to me like those. If that's what they were aiming for here, they need to make it even faster and even more fluid and the jumps need even more arc to them.
 
LOL at people trying to downplay how awesome and fun this looks.

Can't wait. Already have a PS4, but picking up an Xbox One just to play this with friends and wouldn't be shocked if the PS4 collects dust till Xmas.

Have we seen any maps other than these two?


I want moooore. Why can't I get my beta key already :(

There were a couple really quick clips of two other levels released to media outlets last E3. A desert map:

And a nighttime map:

Anyone know if the comment section was filled with console warriors before GAF came in to the stream?

Not really. Double edged sword, this one. Channel gained +2000 viewers in like 15 minutes, but the chat went full retard. Max needs a team of moderators to crack down on this stupid shit.

Yup, willfully ignoring one of my ol' standbys. Especially since this is related to EA.

You would probably get a kick out of levelcap spinning how he "likes" the bots, since he doesn't have to worry about them doing any damage he can take time to "appreciate the map". Was sooooo obvious.

80 seconds off the Titan drop could be real clutch stuff.

Everybody will have that card after the first day. First round on every map will be quick titans for everybody if that proves to be an advantage.

Nice, desert too :)

what if .. and bear with me now... what if those people legitimately don't find it to look awesome and fun?

The issues I personally have with many modern competitive FPS arena is carried over directly into Titanfall, and all those features specifically had made modern competitive FPS decidedly unfun and unawesome (perks, no recoil, challenges which distract people from their true stage goals, etc), and this time it's added in with standard MOBA repetitiveness with the pathetically easy mob farming (for titanfall timer reduction) so it seems especially problematic for me. Of course I could play the demo on PC and it could click with me (and I intend to), but first impressions is that this is not changing the world of modern competitive FPS, and since I find so much wrong with the game design in those types of games these days it's a big issue (and it's not because I hate FPS - I love FPS, and competitive FPS used to be my favorite genre before modern game design ruined it).

The point of this exercise is to illustrate that there are clear defined reasons people may not find this awesome, and contrary to implication of your post, we'd not all like our reasons to be dragged along by some petty system war nonsense.

I'm pretty sure you can only use them once. You'd have to randomly get it again before you could use it again.
 
I hope this game is good. I really could use another fast fps :). Especially with Halo in the state it is today. Signed up for the PC beta, will pray to saint gaben for ascendance.

This is one of the best pre views I've seen, dude is pretty balanced and makes some good points about the game.

Can't wait! I'm constantly watching my mail feed, NEED CODE!

I'm really pissed, still, that him and Frankie got paid by EA for BF4. Their videos are legit entertaining, even now (and especially Frankie's), but now you can't trust their judgements 100%.

I gotta say, I have one knock against this game.

Those AI grunts look annoying. I never try to join MP games with bots in them. It sucks because the AI in this game looks especially brain dead.

Will they include modes with no bots in them?

LMAO Max is now contemplation to go Subscribers only mode for the stream and saying that people should check out some other Titanfall streams.

Great.

Well if u see when the game ends how many pilot kills you have, it's roughly the same amount of kills an average player would get on a cod game. Meaning you could have 20 pilot kills and 50 grunts kills as extra bonus.

They're supposed to be brain dead, easy pickings.

Not sure if all modes have them

Maps look too big not to include them, just gotta hope they'll be less braindead in full release.

I saw a whole bunch of instances of terrible grunt/specter AI in the half hour of Max's stream I've watched.

-shooting them and they don't respond
-running in front of 4-5 of them and they don't respond
-walking up and kicking 2 of them without taking any fire
-they stand and look at you for 2 seconds before attempting to shoot

At least it makes it easy to tell the difference between them and normal players, which seems crucial to the game.

Can I deny my team's grunts so the other team doesn't get anything from them?

Never go full Dota.

Fair points.

I was speaking more to the people who were like 'this alpha footage looks less than spectacular, Xbox One fail' or '792p, wut?' BS.

Totally agree with you on this, and the same can be said about every upcoming game. Different games stroke different flavours for different people.

Said so, I still don't understand the amount of people bashing Titanfall with such energy. like why would you waste your time telling other people they shouldn't be excited for a game you are not interesting in?

Whatever the reasons even if valid.. seems like a redundant thing to do. Disclaimer I'm not even claiming TitanFall is going to be perfect or revolutionary, but it does certainly looks like a breath of fresh air for people like me who like to play Multiplayer shooters.

Damn, completely ignored this game.
But now that I've watched the 60fps footage from DF and watching that Maximilian_DOOD Twitchstream - dayum I'm tempted to buy. ;_;
