I didn't claim its at par with cutting edge PC games. I said they look pretty sharp. I think people often forget how muddy textures often were in 7th gen games. Especially in games with large enviornments to explore.

Screen shot time!
As you can see, there are some pretty shocking textures.
There is also no Tessellation, despite the Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC fully supporting such technology. (As is evident by the low amount of geometry.)
The backgrounds are all low resolution.
There is also an abundant use of 2D sprites.

As you can tell it is clearly not on par with next-gen.


Wan't some examples of how sharp textures are supposed to look like?

 

Are you reading what I'm telling you?

I repeat, "I didn't claim its at par with cutting edge PC games. I said they look pretty sharp. I think people often forget how muddy textures often were in 7th gen games. Especially in games with large enviornments to explore."

 

Are we seeing the final textures yet by the way? I'm not sure if the beta is still using the 25% quality textures.

No, you're missing the point.

A large amount of 7th generation console ports on PC actually had fantastic textures even a couple of years ago, they weren't muddy.
This is the comparison point I am trying to make, comparing both on the PC with everything on max.
I couldn't care less about the consoles, they aren't my primary gaming platform.

As for the textures, I'm pretty sure only the Xbox version had the reduced textures, the PC didn't hence why they were compared in the first place.
If you wan't proper, clear and crisp textures, take a look at CGI's PC screenshots thread.
I'll start you off with Metro.

Also, don't look past Oblivion (Early Xbox 360/PS3 title), Skyrim, Fallout 3, GTAIV, Crysis, FarCry for open-world games that, once modded and despite being several years old, will put Titanfall to shame, heck, Morrowind even has Tessellation on the PC and that game was released during the PS2 era, Titanfall doesn't even use it.
