Sorry boat, but theirs a new sheriff in town. Nothing personal.

 

[Deadbeat]

Speaking out of your buttocks on the textures. From what I can tell there is no way they will ship like that since they certainly would not be maxing out memory usage.

There is no reason for the textures to be that low res. I dunno. Maybe cboat means all other graphical effects. But textures? There worse than previous cod textures right now. MW2 has better graphics.

 

[Xpliskin]

PC version superior version is this then.

 

[alr1ght]

Cant contain the boat. Sorry conspiracy nuts.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

16 maps is a great number to launch with, as long as all game types are playable on all maps. Great to hear though, I hate to see a multi only game be hamstrung by a lack of maps, but that doesn't seem to be the case for titanfall.

 

[antitrop]

I'll quote the Respawn dev's post, for reference:

Now that half of you are browsing crappy unauthorized cellphone pics...

TO BE EXPLICIT:

All textures in this Alpha Test build are at 25% of the final game's resolution. So if you're staring at a 256x256 texture, that's actually a 512x512 texture in the real game. 512? That's a 1024. It's a huge, huge, huge difference. Especially on terrain, weapons, cockpits, hands, effects, etc.

There's a reason the build is under NDA. It's not for showing off, or giving people a fair idea of what the game looks like, or for pixel counting. You'll still have your chance to scream "lolz pixels lazy devs Goldeneye N64 lololololol", but now is not the time.

(Well; menu images are probably full res.)

 

[SneakyStephan]

720p, with those textures, plus lighting and effects, 12 players, would make Titanfall and absolute disaster graphically.


Thank god for the PC version. You would thing this was just a 360 port at this point, not the other way around.

It's funny because they were talking about how they were modifying the source engine for this game

source, the engine that can run 8x msaa on your toaster at 1080p 100+ fps, and they ended up with this uglyness at 720p

I'm willing to bet they somehow managed to break it to the point where there's no msaa support on pc , there's input lag, there's mouse acceleration/smoothing etc

 

[kittens]

The alpha textures are final? Holy shit, that's terrible.

I also keep hearing that Bluepoint is doing a great job with 360 version

Given the status of the Xbox One version, how hard do they have to work to match the low bar the Xbox One version is setting?

 

[Ol No Bones]

Why would they flat out lie. It would be better to say nothing.

 

[Kaako]

I also keep hearing that Bluepoint is doing a great job with 360 version

Bluepoint Games are port kings so this makes sense.

 

[Kyoufu]

16 maps is a good amount. Glad they didn't skimp on that.

The alpha textures though leave a lot to be desired.

 

[PinkCrayon]

For the record, Black Ops 2 launched with 15 maps. It also had single player and zombie modes.

 

[Nightengale]

How I imagine Bluepoint.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

ITS HAPPENING!

I used to see this gif and not laugh at its randomness.

Now I know its true meaning and it is hilarious.

 

[enanogrande]

Damn B you're on a roll! What is that, like 5 posts in the past week?

 

[Xpliskin]

"lolz pixels lazy devs Goldeneye N64 lololololol",

that's actually funny lol

 

[Bornstellar]

There is no reason for the textures to be that low res. I dunno. Maybe cboat means all other graphical effects. But textures? There worse than previous cod textures right now. MW2 has better graphics.

It's certified BS. Maybe they were final assets, but definitely downrezzed. And I'll take the word of the Respawn guy that posts here over Cboat on the product he works on.

 

[Raitosaito]

Bluepoint Games are port kings so this makes sense.

Downport being awesome is kind of a rare thing, but if anyone can do it I guess blue point can.

 

[crazyrabbits]

Thank you blessed Cboat, as always.

 

[tkalamba]

There is no reason for the textures to be that low res. I dunno. Maybe cboat means all other graphical effects. But textures? There worse than previous cod textures right now. MW2 has better graphics.

Maybe assets are final by res isn't? Who knows but I feel like that one has potential to be incorrect.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Better textures on the PC? Well alright.

 

[MercuryLS]

I'll quote the Respawn dev's post, for reference:

He never said anything about the Xbox One's version's final resolution. That quote could only apply to the PC version.

 

[Squire]

Kinda sorta really doubt they're just lying about the textures.

A lot.

 

[GavinUK86]

uh oh. shots fired at cboat!

 

[GravyButt]

Maybe the textures are the same as far as how everything looks. Aka certain colors or patterns ect? Dunno just a guess, cant picture the NDA and multiple sites saying the textures were 25% all of a sudden to be the final product.

 

[Neuromancer]

How many maps did BF4 and Ghosts ship with?

Ghosts shipped with 15 (including the preorder bonus map.)

The maps are bigger in Titanfall, and I'm sure you can argue what the better MP game is, but Titanfall is not exactly overdelivering value in my mind. No single player campaign, no offline play with bots, no nothing except online competitive MP.

 

[CuznLarry]

What is this today.. the dueling banjos of gaming insiders?

 

[RyudBoy]

16 maps are good!

Textures are fucking hideous. Better not be true.

 

[Coin Return]

So cboat is bullshitting about the textures? Say it aint so!

 

[JLeack]

Wait, CBOAT stands for that crap?

Oh man. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world.

 

[dreamfall]

cboat the GOAT!

16 maps seem rad!

 

[Messofanego]

If this was true, then Respawn developers like Rayme Vinson could be taken to task for lying. I doubt they want that on their hands.

Surely not.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I'd be ok with this information. 16 is a good amount of maps. Then I thought it looked great from what I saw of the alpha footage.

 

[i-Lo]

When people would be playing the game in motion all this texture malarkey would be overlooked due to "fun" factor. If people want pure visual splendor on xbone, they should buy Ryse.

 

[bistromathics]

Well look who's back. Though this hardly anything surprising. Are the Bone textures complete shit or something?

 

[Chobel]

Uh oh! Shots fired at CBOAT!

DAMN!

 

[miDnIghtEr20C]

Yay 16 maps!

Boooo I don't believe those are final textures.

 

[Big_Al]

For the record, Black Ops 2 launched with 15 maps. It also had single player and zombie modes.

It also had a much bigger team/multiple teams and a bigger budget.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Uh oh! Shots fired at CBOAT!

Oh snap

 

[ProfessorMoran]

thnku bsd cbaot

 

[komplanen]

As much as nothing about the Xbox One being a piece of shit surprises me anymore, I don't believe those ugly ass textures are final. I just don't. CBOAT has a really good track record but I don't believe that that's how bad that game could possibly look.

 

[trixx]

16 maps is pretty nice, thanks for leak

 

[antitrop]

If this was true, then Respawn developers like Rayme Vinson could be taken to task for lying. I doubt they want that on their hands.

A lot.

Yeah, this is nearly impossible to believe.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Uh oh! Shots fired at CBOAT!

"Cult leader." Don't know whether 'lol' or 'sigh' is the appropriate response.

 

[Calen]

Anyone willing to take me up on a ban bet that Rayme (who works here) is correct, and cboat (who does not) is incorrect?

 

[Ol No Bones]

He never said anything about the Xbox One's version's final resolution. That quote could only apply to the PC version.

nobody was talking about a pc alpha though. If that's what he meant it was purposefully deceptive. The Xbox one footage shown prior looked better. I'm hoping cboat got misinformed.

 

[Timu]

uh oh. shots fired at cboat!

Oh snap.=O

 

[RealityPales]

Were textures lackluster in the Alpha or something?
