Forums - Gaming - Titanfall - The first real next-gen shooter.

It's so next-gen it runs on last gen hardware! Hell yeah.

To be honest, the first time I actually became even mildly interested in Titanfall was Angry Joes video. No way I'd get a One for it, but I could see myself getting it for PC, and considering how very low the minimum requirements are, you can bet a great many people may actually get it for PC, since pretty much every computer sold in the past...6 years hits the minimum req's.

The Verge has a serious MS slant, like Polygon (they're assotiates) so over hyping MS related stuff on their part should be expected, at least they will appear "neutral' when it's highly negative. 

Seriously, an FPS with vehicules, mechs walk but they're vehicules, and 6 vs 6 matches along with cannon fodder enemies (have you seen the videos, they barely move...).

Many will return to CoD after a week or two of this... the gunplay is the exact same and you have these useless "enemies" that were supposed to be made super intelligent by the cloud technology that do nothing...

or they will go back to BF4 (bigger matches with actual humans... and a greater variety of vehicules)

and none of these games are "generic" or generic looking, anyone can recognise which one they are looking at when they look at screenshots of one or the other, BF4 and CoD have different play style too (CoD players always complain how BF4 is slow and has no action...).

Yeah, unfortunately The Verge has proven themselves to be inconsistent and unreliable at best (and yes, it's likely that the cash injection from MS when they were struggling, is the culprit).  Their review of the PS4 Tomb Raider gave me a great idea though, since past multi-plat titles that have performed differently and been scored differently from console to console because of those performance disparities, I now write off any current reviewer who doesn't give accordingly lower marks to current multi-plat titles that perform differently.

So many reviewers out there, so many NDA's out there, it's great that I have a way to write off the ones who cannot be trusted.  I don't honestly care which platform has the better performing games, but I absolutely do care that reviewers/critics/analysts give appropriate scores based upon that performance, which they've been doing for years.



lol... reboots the genre? HELL NO.

Just found tis of a website you mostly dont like guys but it very posib'e whta there saying since apple did the same thing with there A6 chips. And they even show proof!!

Proof that the Xbox one SOC is actually stacked!!!!!

LOL dat mrxmedia.

If you take that seriously then you have issues.

Read his entire blog you'll see supposed posts from XB1 developers who claim that they are intentionally holding back the capapbilities of the XB1 so as lull Sony into a false sense of security only to then open up the hidden power of the XB1 thereby destroying the PS brand forever when people see how much more powerful it is than the PS4.

Its all a bunch of nonsense and citing mrxmedia for ANYTHING will do more harm than good to your position.

Maybe you should do research before you talk! Bacuse i did and the apple part its true and the Xbox one chop hs the same characteristics that the Apple A6 had as being stacked - meaning it has a processor on top of another processor and it cant be seeing unless its xrayed, extra numeric s appear on a deeper layer of whatever chip or acid teardown!! Just saying!!



The game is an absolute blast. Here's me playing a match earlier.

 



Titanfall - The first real next-gen shooter..................

As a kinda-related note, I don't think gamers should assume this is meant for the COD bros.

Bros in particular like shooters based in reality. As in using tech that exists or at least in real life prototype phases. Mechs/aliens or sci-fi in general turn them off. Nerd stuff and what not.

So Titanfall is more appealing to the core gamer in general who isn't encumbered by the bro mentality.


But Halo is totally a bro game! And Titanfall is lower in the tech ladder than Halo for sure. :)

1st real next gen shooter doesn't automatically mean GRAFIX GRAPHIQ GRAFFIKS!!!

It means that Titanfall is the first 8th gen fps new ip. And it has unique gameplay.

so its the first next gen shooter thats also on  previous gen?

Titanfall is so great it transcends generations. jk looks like alot of fun already pre-ordered X1version.

I agree, it does look a lot of fun, but a lot of fun has been had since gen one, this is not a 8th gen game, its 7th gen and a lot of fun.
