I'm expecting the same sort of difference that you see in Battlefield 4 going from PS3 to PS4, if they manage a locked 30fps then they have done a good job.

Not ideal but I think the game running at a locked 30 will be fine. If they can fit all the AI, players, and Titans and managed a locked framerate then this game passes. Easily. If the shit dips down to 20's and lower then it's shit.

 

[Chobel]

We got copies in at our store today. It requires 1 GB of storage to play it.

Just 1GB?

 

[Neuromancer]

Just FYI the Titanfall twitter account says servers won't be up until the day of release so I'd hold off buying copies on eBay.

There are lot's of devs that know how to optimise and heavily maximise on Xbox 360 and to be honest. Titanfall doesn't look that great. I can see how the Xbox 360 could look very similar.

I guess....at the same time there arent devs with a lot of experience optimizing and maximizing X1. But are these really legit reasons to expect the games to look and perform similarly despite the power difference? Is there any precedence for this so far on cross gen games?

 

[*offensive_nickname*]

I don't see how the 360 version does not outsell the Xbone version.

The again anything is possible considering how great of a job ea and Microsoft are doing pretending this game does not exisist.

titanfall xbox one bundles
better performance on xbox one
advertising only on xbox one
no existing titanfall community on xbox 360 like cod


i dont see the x360 version outsell the xbox one. but if it does, this game will be a 5 millon+ seller

 

[gatti-man]

They're probably not providing review copies to anyone. As a few other posters have said, its either too similar looking to the Xbone version or it looks/runs like crap. Will be interesting to see, thats for sure.



Agreed, the 360 has been out for so long that devs are VERY familiar with it and know how to get every little bit of power out of it. This is gonna be interesting.

I will be jaw dripping shocked if this game looks and runs similar to the x1 version. It will either run well or look similar but not both. If it looks like the x1 version it will be a slideshow. Why people expect it to be similar when a system everyone knows is orders of magnitude more powerful still has issues running it is beyond me.

Welp
So much for wanting to see something pre-release

Time for the speculation about the servers to end, they're not online until the release date (apparently):

But but but... It's Source! /s

I expect it to run well enough, with noticeable frame drops, horrible texture quality, reduced background action and gunfire effects, and more compressed audio. Bluepoint is a skilled team however, so it's anyone's guess.

Sure they can do locked 30 but the graphics will be bad. I mean really bad compared to x1. There are times the x1 version dips sub 30. The game at times can get really hairy on screen.

 

[silver.tongue]

Wait, this still isn't out?
Holy shit, I kept seeing this thread I supposed the game was out.

No pics and/or screenshots is not a good sign. It's either close to the Xbone version or extremelly worse.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Looking at the back cover I'm starting to wonder is this actually the same game?

 

[SJS]

Looking at the back cover I'm trying to wonder is this actually the same game?

What do you mean by that?

 

[isual]

ha.

if this game has a scintilla of similarity to the x1. Then I'll get it on 360.

for cheap.

 

[antitrop]

lol at them calling it next-gen on the back of the box.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

What do you mean by that?

Had to correct for the sentence but it looks like it's going to be a watered-down version. Maybe only one titan per team one of time? I am just wondering if this is going to end up being something that's basically inspired by the Titanfall world but not really the same game.

I don't know.

Looks like they just kept the Xbox One box as it was. Someone just didn't give a shit.

I doubt it

[Doug Heffernan]

If it isn't playable until release, it won't be reviewed until a few days after launch.

That was exactly my point.

i am wondering the same thing.

lol yeah whats all that about.

Laziness, here's the Xbox One box:

 

[antitrop]

"The game will feature the same 6v6 gameplay, maps, modes, weapons and Burn Cards as the Xbox One and PC versions of the game."

... at 600p/30fps!

That would still be pretty decent.

 

[Tawpgun]

Respawn claimed Titanfall utilizes the cloud for some of its stuff... how does it work on 360?

I'm really curious if its just less frames lower resolution or if there's actual differences.

 

[silver.tongue]

Seriously, I'm impressed they haven't released anything about this version. Like nothing.
It's even worse (never thought it was possible) than a bunch of awful Sony stealth first party releases (starhawk, puppeteer, sly 4).

As far as I'm aware the cloud is really just a big dedicated server.

nintendo does this occasionally too. i remember the second advance wars on DS was a sort of "if you can find it" type of game

They reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllyy don't want you to see Titanfall.

 

[dark10x]

They reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllyy don't want you to see Titanfall.

It's made everyone way more curious and interested for sure.

It either looks quite comparable to the XB1 version OR looks like complete shit. I can't imagine BluePoint producing something that looks like shit, though, but we'll see.

 

[Irate Drake]

So with servers not on yet, no one can even show a glimpse of the game till release day.

That sucks

 

[ArmsOfSorrow]

... at 600p/30fps!

That would still be pretty decent.

That'll probably be the case, I mean if you look at the CoD releases running on the Wii (where the power difference between platforms was bigger than that between 360 and One, I assume), they had half the framerate and much lower resolution. So yeah, that seems like a realistic target.

 

[GeeDuhb]

There are lot's of devs that know how to optimise and heavily maximise on Xbox 360 and to be honest. Titanfall doesn't look that great. I can see how the Xbox 360 could look very similar.

Why people expect it to be similar when a system everyone knows is orders of magnitude more powerful still has issues running it is beyond me.

I was just about to say that ^. I would be completely shocked if it ran even similar to the One version. They have to keep a reason for people to upgrade to the one and show that there is actually a next-gen improvement, even if it could run it similarly. I expect it to be locked at 30FPS at the least, just to say that the One had "more power to work with."

I am still excited to play it next week though!

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

this port must be heavily optimized to just need an 1gb of hard drive space.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

this port must be heavily optimized to just need an 1gb of hard drive space.

It sure beats the 50 gigs it takes on the PC.

 

[SwiftDeath]

It sure beats the 50 gigs it takes on the PC.

This game is just so oddly optimized all over the place

 

[DryvBy]

Gaming journalist have been talking about this same thing.

Oh, wait.

 

[D4Danger]

isn't 80% of that audio though?

 

[Papercuts]

isn't 80% of that audio though?

Yea, uncompressed audio in multiple languages.

 

[Liquid-Swords]

Can people not even run the tutorial if the servers are down?

 

[kuYuri]

So I expect roughly 1024x600 and 30fps max as well.

If true, that's a real shame. This game was designed for that smooth 60fps gameplay and even the other versions are a mess.

 

[Hoo-doo]

It'll be a pretty good indicator of how much peeps are moving on from last gen (or not). We've gotten some signs of that with certain games selling more on PS4 & X1 despite being cross plat.

I doubt it.

Hype for Titanfall has dropped tremendously since pre-Xbone/PC launch.
Were it to release day and date, the 360 version would have outsold both other versions easily.

But now, when people are starting to realize this isn't the next COD and internet buzz is barely there anymore? I don't know.

 

[Irate Drake]

Can people not even run the tutorial if the servers are down?

my thoughts exactly

 

[Duxxy3]

This whole thing is just so sketchy.

 

[Alchemy]

Exactly the same. Any device connected to the internet can utilize "the cloud". All TitanFall uses it for is running servers, and I'm guessing the servers will be identical for both versions.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It's made everyone way more curious and interested for sure.

It either looks quite comparable to the XB1 version OR looks like complete shit. I can't imagine BluePoint producing something that looks like shit, though, but we'll see.

I think there's a middle ground where it'll look good for a 360 title, but won't really be visually comparable to the X1 version.

I expect the frame-rate to be 30 unlocked though, perhaps even managing to hit the high 30s/low 40s, but that's probably being too hopeful.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

So I expect roughly 1024x600 and 30fps max as well.

If true, that's a real shame. This game was designed for that smooth 60fps gameplay and even the other versions are a mess.

Does the Xbone version even have approaching a stable 60fps frame rate? I remember reading that it was all over the place, especially when a couple of mechs were involved. Did they improve it via patches?

 

[Neuromancer]

Can people not even run the tutorial if the servers are down?

Yep the game will be a coaster until the 8th.

 

[justsomeguy]

ha.

if this game has a scintilla of similarity to the x1. Then I'll get it on 360.

for cheap.

welll it should be a lower res lower fps lower effects version of the game...
