peter gabriel posted:Are the server going to be cross platform in any respect? No crossing with the consoles. I think MS don't like doing it, I read that somewhere but I don't know the reason. Can't think of any games that have crossed over in previous gens but I guess there was less online component back then. All three platforms are using Microsoft azure servers. There is controller support for PC, apparently with a 'sticky aim', so there will be mouse vs controller battles.

Did you mean there will be pc and console on the same server if they both have controllers?

*edit* haha wrong thread oh well *another ed* Actually while I am posting here, is there any confirmation if the PC version could potentially raise the player cap if the server admin wants to? I watched some of the alpha footage and it seemed awful lame that most of the on-foot combat was shooting bots.

So unless Respawn lets you, you won't be changing any settings. Came across this Smart Pistol gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncrnkmeivAo and I noticed this when he spawned "Smart Pistol MK5 [Enhanced Targeting] Accelerates lock-on rate and increases range" Hard to gauge the lock-on speed. Looks like 1-2 seconds at most.

Interesting. I remember shadowrun actually hosed with the pc players mice movement to try and "balance" things out and that failed horribly for obvious reasons. I'm guessing there will be console and pc only servers though?

Yeah, there's no way PC and console will be playing with each other. The game servers might reside on the same hardware somewhere in the cloud, but they won't inter-operate.

Sounds sensible. There really isn't any need for pc and console players to play against each other anyway given the huge player base.

It really does look like the real meat of this entire game are the motherfucking titans.  Any complaints about pistol auto-aim is piffle to me in the face of giant rear end robot duels that play out like a game of street fighter with robots, because this really is a very different kind of game than one that might be hurt by a smartpistol type thing.That said - I hope they try to balance all the weapons as best they can, but on this game's terms.

I'm not even exaggerating, a HD4850 or a GTX260 216 will run pretty much every modern game at 60fps+ if you turn the settings down to match the Bone (1280x720, med to high, no AA or AF).

For all intents and purposes, they're misusing the term "alpha". They announced the game was feature complete and in polishing in late December/early January, and so by commonly-accepted software terms, they should have been calling their early-access a "beta" the entire time.

Their messaging and PR for this game has been a complete and utter disaster in every regard. I recall a writer for IGN even pointing out a short while ago that they still hardly know anything about the game and how weird that is, and it's hard not to agree.

I think I read somewhere that the Respawn twitter account is ran by Respawn, whereas the Titanfall account is ran by EA. When the Alpha emails went out it seemed like Respawn had no idea it was happening, so I guess it's possible EA plans to announce the Beta date but hasn't told Respawn yet?

MS has nothing to do with it but they've got 50 other reasons for you to buy their poo poo console. Bluepoint is really good. The 360 version might be better than the Xbox One version.

I think titanfall will do really well on ps4. You're right about the numbers changing, its almost like the world has time zones that affect player counts on the different platforms. loving crazy. Perhaps check back when its 3am your time so we can further explore your theory. Please don't save all your good posts for neogaf.

The argument was that the 360 version would have multiple times more players than the Xbone. That's not true, but it is arguably true for PS3 vs PS4 (PS3 was roughly 1.5 times more populated than the PS4 version). Combine the figures and 360+PS3 was 65k while Xbone+PS4 was 48k. I would not be surprised if Titanfall has similar proportion of population between 360 and Xbone.
