TitanFall [XO,X360]

[RudeCurve]

Two new Titan classes revealed from Hammond Robotics commercial. The design of the new mechs look pretty cool. Personally I was hoping they added another much smaller class of robot like the one in District 9.

My PC is so waiting for this game...

Rumor: Vetted Insider

So, the XB1 version will be 720p, currently running poorly. Which would explain no actual XB1 footage as of today... pretty much PC footage (which most people pegged anyhow). Hopefully, the XB1 driver updates will help with this issue....

Oh and fun fact about Titan Fall, performance is not up to snuff at 720p, waiting for January driver updates .

It is using the Source engine, they picked it for the PS3 (before the MS deal), so how can it run poorly?

 

[RudeCurve]

The graphics don't even look nextgen so I'm not sure why it's having issues running at 720P....in fact it should be running at 60fps at 1080P.

Third hand info from someone who isn't working on the game. Great scoop.

Hence rumor! Anyhow, the guy has been reliable in the past on info... so it's not much of a stretch his sources are on the level.

This rumor is bull.

It may be running on the Source engine but as far as I know the renderer is completely new.

With that said, the content we've seen so far does not indicate anything particularly stressing. BF4 seems to be doing a whole lot more at 720p/60fps on the X1 and DICE haven't had nearly as much time to optimize performance - so it's kinda hard to believe that Titanfall would have significant problems.

we will know very soon . Isn't it like march 11th for release ?

Matches are limited to 6v6? That seems pretty restrictive, unless the maps are very small too, especially for an online only game.

6 vs 6 but apparently also "dozens" of AI characters/entities.
I guess MS cloud will come in handy there.

 

[RudeCurve]

I wonder why there hasn't been any footage of any other levels besides the same one that's been shown.

6 vs 6 players, plus AIs for both teams.

Wait... JUST 6v6 or will there be options for player counts?

It's just 6v6 players plus AI and your mech can be autonomous (to an extent).

Nope, it's 6 vs 6. Each player can have a Titan that can be switched to AI mode, plus there are other AI actors/characters running around. I guess with their hybrid approach they felt it would be too crowded. I was expecting something like 12 vs 12. Curious to see how it turns out, and how much it really plays like a single-player game.

THey said the ai are not bots (replacement players). They have other roles during the game. I'm assuming some of their action will be scripted and whatnot. Looking forward to seeing more of what the game is all about.

6v6 makes it a game I would never play, to small, too fast. I need big games where KDR is not important. This sounds like Quake Arena, the antithesis of what I like for MP.

6 vs 6 is really great news! I like it. Curious to try this baby out...

Is it great news? I'd rate it as ... news until we find out if it's actually good.
