Delusibeta posted:You won't read your own posts. 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. Yeah that post is a lot of absolutely nothing. I've got some bad news about the ps3 and ps4 versions of titanfall for you... they are delayed. Heres my point broken down as simply as I can do it. My numbers were 42k for the 360 / 37 for bone, yours are 23k 360/ 17 bone. Now heres the important bit, the active player bases aren't vastly different on each platform - leading to my final conclusion that the titanfall active player numbers may not directly mirror the 3million vs 80 million install base. Let me know if you don't understand. Edit: Yeah they tweeted a few days ago about no open beta, but they wont tell anyone how you can get a code yet. If that French magazine was right then the beta should start in 8 days. Crafty fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Feb 6, 2014 |

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.

Why do people keep throwing around the 80million figure? That's total lifetime sales, there probably isn't half that many 360s in existence that even work let alone the number of consoles sitting in closets like mine. Given the drought of games on the new consoles I expect the Xbone version will have an active player base not too far off from what the 360 has.

I was kind of interested in this game when it was first announced and was willing to defend it as the only cool Xbone (console) exclusive that was confirmed as a post-launch release. With all the little bits and pieces of information that have been coming out, though, I think this game is going to be legitimately bad when it comes. If you're a PC gamer I have no idea why you would play this over Hawken.

From what we've seen I'd say it looks like good fun but lacks longevity. I can't see me playing those ten minute rounds for two hours straight, I'd be bored out my noodle. I'm optimistically hoping that Respawn have something else up their sleeves besides their dirty arms. They must surely have a few more weapons/game types and obviously a load more maps to be shown. We really have seen zero new content besides the two new titans, since the e3 playable demo 9 months ago - which I think was the same maps and game types and guns as the alpha.

The alpha was legitimately super fun to play. The longevity for me will hinge on the number of maps they include, and the amount of things I can work towards (unlocks, challenges, etc). As previous CoD developers, I'd be willing to bet that there will be more than enough of that kind of stuff. I do really hope that there will be more than one flavor of each weapon class.

Awesome! posted:please tell us about the game's robot street fighter duels Robots can punch, they can't kick unfortunately. Pilots can kick but they don't seem to be able to punch. That's basically streetfighter. There was a big thread at neogaf and all those bad boys that have no respect for an NDA were waxing lyrical about how much fun the game was. I think I only really saw one person posting that it wasn't that good that had actually played it. That made me believe in titfall being decent fun more than all the industry hype. Even more than e3 awards!

They'd better have some secret game modes or titans they've been keeping under wraps.

FWIW, after playing the alpha and watching the videos once it ended, I couldn't stop thinking about how everything they were doing was retarded. You can pick out the actual players quite easily and essentially ignore the creep bots (they're even marked differently on the mini map). The dudes in the videos didn't care to make the distinction, and didn't use half of the stuff available to them. But yeah, I'm wondering what we'll see for game modes outside of attrition and hardpoint. I doubt there will be more than the 3 titans on release, but I'm thinking there will be a good amount of game modes. CTF would be pretty nuts with all the parkour stuff goin' on.

I really don't get all the hype surrounding this game, it almost feels artificial. It just seems like a COD clone with mechs (sorry, Titans). Mark me down as I'm vaguely interested and will wait to hear how it is before jumping on the PC version. I probably won't end up getting it but I'm looking at it.

Or was alpha only the attrition kill everyone game type? Basically I want to know if they can cap points or do stuff besides die horribly.

You can clone your own work. You just need to make sure not to clone your own clone or else it enters play as a 0/0 and instantly dies.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:You clearly played the alpha, so what do the bots do? Or was alpha only the attrition kill everyone game type? Basically I want to know if they can cap points or do stuff besides die horribly. The alpha had hardpoint enabled too. I actually don't remember if they are able to cap points, but every time I ran to one after hearing that we were losing it, I found an actual player. I know they run towards the points, but I don't know if they count towards a capture. Maybe they just go to help clear it out. They mostly die horribly, but if you turn a corner into a big group of them you might have an "oh poo poo" moment. The one purpose I think they serve well is as a camouflage from the enemy titans. Usually when you're rolling around in a titan you have all sorts of stuff coming at you and it's harder to differentiate bots from pilots in the heat of the moment. When you're the pilot in that situation the bots help you roll to your next cover spot without getting insta-gibbed. There is an active camouflage type tool to help you in that scenario, but it's often on cooldown when you're dealing with multiple titans. I completely understand the sentiment that bots suck in online shooters (they do), but the way they're implemented in this game isn't at all the same as others. It isn't like Brink, or CoD combat training where they're supposed to replace a real player. They're basically there for ambiance and to make lovely players feel more awesome. That's fine, it lets them have their fun while the more serious FPS people (myself included) can just just ignore the bots and gun down the other players. You'll still be ahead of them since players are worth significantly more than bots, and people can still peep your sweet K/D because the scoreboard differentiates bot kills and player kills. Hopefully the beta is widely available, because it's honestly something you need to play to get a feel for. It's hard to judge when reading about it or watching videos that lovely players post. It won't be a game for all crowds, but if you like playing the usual FPS subjects like CoD/Halo/BF this game will be your jam. If you are hoping to nerd out with mechs like Armored Core or something, turn around and run away. They're just timer-based killstreaks that are fun to blow things up in.

It's like you said, they are just there to be killed and make you feel good. At least the bots in UT2k4 and UT3 could kill you quite easily on the higher settings and they would do stuff like do objectives or defend the flag.

And I find it puzzling why they thought it was necessary to make it so clear even on the minimap what were bots and what were players. I saw videos where you could look at enemies and see Spectre or a player name or Militia and realize then whether to ignore them or not. It's kind of puzzling that they go out of their way to tell players not to actually fight bots. And in most cases you never need to fight anyone on the ground in a Titan. Pic Stryder, stay mobile and never worry about a pilot unless it is trying to lock onto you.

I'm not sure why gaming developers have this terminal aversion to putting people in proper brackets for their skill level but maybe they should get on it, rather than put a bunch of dumbshit drone bots into the game for scrubs. This is like randomly mixing all age groups together into your local Pop Warner football league, but letting the younger kids tackle a few training dummies before every play so that they feel better about themselves. Ridiculous.
