Counter Strike Source....is that you? From 2005 ffs.

If it gathers the following CS has...they'll be very happy, lol.

Good example of a games graphics not mattering if it's a good time.

 

[Smidget]

The textures are atrocious. Just played the tutorial and like getting in the training pod... Miserable textures.

 

[The Albatross]

Not impressed with either. Still getting the game... but I expected more. I'll have to see it running with guys on screen to judge whether the graphics are good or not... stand alone screen shots though... Doesn't look much better than a 360/PS3 game.

But, that also depends on what's happening on screen too.

Did you change the texture settings from Low to something higher? If its in grey, you have to go to the main menu and change it.

I agree, however this is a graphics debate and theres no denying titanfall looks almost like a game from 2005

 

[Duxxy3]

Yeah, it looks like shit but I've wasted countless hundreds of hours playing CS:S. I still play it today, even though it looks like that

If Titanfall can match that level of addictive fun all will be fine.

The difference is that titanfall is $60, and graphically it as impressive as a PC game from 2005.

If a publisher wants to charge $60 for a game, fine... but I want a game that justifies the price. I don't see that in titanfall.

$20? Absolutely, that would be worth what I have seen.

And what justifies the price of a game? The graphics? HA! Again, I've put hundreds of hours into CS:S. To me, the value for that game is well above $60.

 

[Pops Maellard]

Anyone complaining about the graphics hasn't actually played Titanfall.

My PC can barely run Oregon Trail, don't judge me.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

It does look better in motion with how fast and chaotic the game seems to be but yeah these screens look like ass. On the bright side it looks like my 5770 should be able to handle this fine.

Production value absolutely enters into the cost of a game for me.

I wouldn't spend $100,000 on a honda civic just because I would get more use out of it than I would a Porsche.

Eh, most people that did play it are saying that they like the gameplay but that the graphics are dated

I've played Titanfall up to level 9 and am really enjoying the gameplay.

It looks awful, to the game's detriment. There's aliasing everywhere, and the framerate is not stable.

Stop with the silly generalizations. We ARE allowed to care about multiple things at once.

Well then this is not the game for you. Sorry.

You can play a game like KZ which looks great but general consensus is that the multiplayer is mediocre at best. But damn, it looks pretty!!

The main issue is not the quality of the game, but the quality of the console. This game is running at an (almost) last gen resolution and has last gen graphics. The Xbox 1 has only just come out and games are already looking dated. What's that situation going to be like in 5 years? I understand that games come first, but let's be honest, 95% of the games on Xbox 1 will also be on PS4...

 

[Sakura]

I wonder what EA's budget for this game is. Using a century old engine, no single player campaign, low quality assets, etc.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Ugly as fuck but I dont really mind

 

[Mononoke]

Graphics matter. This game is a blast to play, but its dated graphics are disappointing. I don't get why in this medium you can't be critical of certain aspects of it. If a film that has great/writing acting, but has terrible camera work, we would criticize the camera work. Doesn't mean you think the entire thing is awful. Conversely, I'm sure most (including myself), are going to play the shit out of Titanfall. I just hope their next game steps it up (and doesn't follow what COD does, by refusing to do more to update the graphics or do more with the engine).

But honestly, this is Source. I don't get why in 2014 a game should look worse than COD ghosts.

In this case I think it has more to do with the developer. It looks like garbage on the pc as well. Respawn just doesn't know how to make an attractive game. Look at the previous IW COD games.

 

[gruenel]

Biggest difference is the resolution. 792p looks really rough.

I've played about 5 hours so far. Yes, the graphics are dated. However, the game play more than makes up for it.

 

[The Goat]

Don't really think the game is much in the graphics department, but PC, of course, looks better. Those XB1 shots are noisy as hell.

 

[Duxxy3]

Well then this is not the game for you. Sorry.

I don't even need to go so far as Killzone. Even ghosts looks better than this.

 

[ChainsawFilms]

Quite an atrocious looking game, from a visual quality perspective. It may play great, and we all know the mantra "Gameplay over Graphics" but, seriously, this is crappy looking game.

For the great hope of the XBone, I don't think it was too much to expect a game that at least looked a little next gen.

 

[ElfArmy177]

I played on PC. Game looks like shit. Fun though

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

This game is being heralded as the second coming of Jesus, it should not look this bad.

That said, it is a blast to play.

 

[dragonelite]

This hope they can achieve the 900p target in the release build.

 

[Duxxy3]

It feels like a game with a budget that comprises of 90% marketing, and 10% development.

I don't know, maybe that's the winning formula now.

 

[rokkerkory]

Was able to see the pictures... PC isn't that much of an upgrade other than AA.

Was hoping for more out of advanced source engine on PC.

 

[King_Moc]

In this case I think it has more to do with the developer. It looks like garbage on the pc as well. Respawn just doesn't know how to make an attractive game. Look at the previous IW COD games.

At the time, COD4 looked pretty good, i thought.

 

[ChainsawFilms]

Probably spent most of the game budget on accountants to handle the MS money.

 

[Cimeas]

I think this just means that MS really has to hit the ball out of the park with Halo 5, which given that H4 looked great on 360 shouldn't be too hard, but still.

 

[GayForMaster]

People saying it looks the same, you can obviously see a bit jaggies in the xbone version. I'd consider that a minor difference though, as they're not that apparent.

 

[Duxxy3]

At the time, COD4 looked pretty good, i thought.

It did. Many cards struggled with that game.

 

[Radec]

dat awful sharpening filter.

 

[Cimeas]

I wonder what EA's budget for this game is. Using a century old engine, no single player campaign, low quality assets, etc.

A new multiplayer FPS IP enters a super crowded market. Before MS bought exclusivity, Titanfall was hardly even guaranteed much media presence (despite developer pedigree), let alone sales. Indeed the publicity from not being on Playstation has probably bought more awareness (and thus sales) than being multiplat may have given them if you ask me.

But regardless, it's a big risk to launch a new shooter these days. So why not launch the core of the gameplay and see if it sticks? Seems to be working given first impressions.

 

[SneakyStephan]

I don't understand why they would use that sharpening filter, it looks SO bad
this isn't even due to lack of horsepower or w/e it's just some 'artist' with his head stuck up his own arse

 

[-griffy-]

There's quite a disparity in lighting in this shot, but it doesn't seem like there is a difference in the others. Highlights and bloom in the PC version are completely missing in XBO:

 

[Owari]

the xbone version is looking jaggedy as hell. Glad I'm going PC.

 

[Deadbeat]

It did. Many cards struggled with that game.

What the hell are you talking about? Cod 4 and mw2 ran like butter.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Man this game is ugly.

 

[Resident_UA]

The Microsoft platform?

Yes. Not sure why you think that Microsoft cares about PC games. Do you remember GFW?

 

[BraXzy]

I've played the beta on Xbox One and it isn't that bad looking. It looks pretty much like the PC shots in motion. In terms of jaggies at least.

 

[MDSLKTR]

There's quite a disparity in lighting in this shot, but it doesn't seem like there is a difference in the others. Highlights and bloom in the PC version are completley missing in XBO:

Ooh good eye.

 

[CCIE]

Cannot wait for the firestorm when we see the 360 version... it will look near identical to the XB1 version which is why it was delayed. That is my prediction.

This game is ugly

 

[Pops Maellard]

This game is being heralded as the second coming of Jesus, it should not look this bad.

That said, it is a blast to play.

You're probably right. Both technically and artistically, the game is terrible. Actually playing it is amazing though.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

At the time, COD4 looked pretty good, i thought.

And it seems like IW/Respawn hit a brick wall after that.

Hey, that game came out in 2007 and this looks like a 2007 game. All IW games post COD 4 look like 2007 game. Coincidence?

 

[Raide]

You're probably right. Both technically and artistically, the game is terrible. Actually playing it is amazing though.

Part of me wishes they went Frostbite but they get locked to EA and the netcode will be shite but things would look good and explode.

Crytek Engine would have been an interesting choice I think.

 

[Stare-Bear]

There's something fishy about all this. It just doesn't add up that the pc version is using the same texture resolution as the Xbox one.

 

[Shads]

Yeah, I have to say, graphic-wise, this game is not that impressive for "next gen" even on PC. But I do have to say, that the game looks fun as hell though. Looking forward to playing this game.
