The update that's being rolled out right now apparently gets rid of the sharpening filter if the many users of neogaf are to be believed. Posters there seem convinced it's gone. Though it's not mentioned in the patch notes as below: New/updated Features •Update to My Game & Apps to allow sorting of games and application lists, and separate queue lists for games, applications and installs •Ability to delete game and application save data •Improved installation and DLC management •Addition of the controller battery power indicator •Improved UI for accessing friends, achievements, messages, and party chat •Game DVR app to be included in the Xbox OneGuide as an app channel •Update to the boot progress indicators for system update •Improve consistency of UX for update & install progress •Separate game, application, and install queue lists •Addition of USB keyboard support Stability and performance update •Improved NAT detection •Network Troubleshooter improvements •Blu-ray quality improvements •Significant performance and stability improvements

I'm enjoying the Titanfall beta a lot more than I did the bf4 one, I'll buy it at launch. Snapping seems more snappy after the patch, kinect notices my hands a lot better now too. The whole UI feels a bit smoother, but maybe that's just placebo. Haven't had a chance to play games so can't comment on the sharpening filter. The whole thing downloaded and installed without me knowing which was nice, I had trouble with auto downloads in the past so hopefully that's all over! Edit: looks like the sharpening filter was definitely toned down/removed. You can see some good gif comparisons here http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/02/15/heres-how-the-titanfall-xbox-one-beta-improved-after-the-removal-of-the-dreaded-sharpening-filter/ nice little improvement.

EMC posted:I am really enjoying the beta and the last FPS I really got into was BF2 BC, are there going to be more game types in the final game? I realize there will be more guns, maps etc but wondering what they have in terms of modes Its all still hush hush unfortunately. There MUST be some variant of capture the flag or I'll be very disappointed. I'm hoping they are keeping quiet for a reason other than 'don't let them know how little we have!' but we'll see. virtualboyCOLOR posted:Let's be fair, gears looked graphically impressive for its time (even if the aesthetics were meh) and halo was impressive for a console shooter. Titanfall is neither. I'm going to disagree with you in that I think titanfall is impressive for a console shooter. I can't imagine anyone that has played the beta wanting to go back to plain old cod when titanfall does everything cod does plus all the extra fun poo poo. It plays like cod on crack with a couple of extra metagames thrown in to the mix, Activision should be counting their lucky chickens getting ghosts released before this. Each to their own though I can see how a lot of people don't enjoy it. ^shalinor there's a tier 2 perk that makes your titan last longer in doomed state, maybe you have that in one of your loadouts and not the other?

Sedisp posted:The trick to auto titans is babysitting them. Any decent player in a manned Titan who knows how to use the shield will decimate one. Also any pilot that mounts your immediately puts it into a deactivated state so murdering pilots before they can mount for too long is key to a happy auto. Oh yeah I misread that, thought you meant bailing when doomed. I haven't done any titan following me around, I always feel sad leaving him alone to be murdered

Napolean Bonerfarts posted:TitanFall makes Call of Duty: Ghosts look like a Nintendo 64 game. I hope the party system gets fixed because it will split up your party members to different games. The Vsync tearing is noticeable and needs to be fixed too. Tearing is bad, I always notice is just as we jump out the ship to start the round. I rarely notice it after that as I'm checking minimap and looking at other poo poo but that initial tear is jarring.

VincesUndies posted:Ouch, that is pretty short. I like to play PC games on my TV so I can lounge on a sofa. My PC is about 20 feet away so it plugging in the controller is out of the question. At least with the Eneloops I can swap them between my 360 controller and my Xbone one. That's the sacrifice you make for having a giant torch glare reflecting on your TV  There's a microusb on the bone controller too but I haven't used it as I'm a part of the eneloop elite. It's good that Ryse has taken the inevitable price drop. I still can't see myself dropping 40 dollars for a digital copy though. I'll go 25 if you're reading Hryb.

I loved the (extremely) short campaign that I beat the day after getting the xbone, but I tried to get into MP for a few days afterwards and bleh. Thankfully Gamestop still has that used game return policy and I used the cash from Ryse to preorder Watchdogs. Yeah I played Ryse at a demo booth and enjoyed it. I'm looking at game rental sites so I think I'll go down that route! Can't see myself playing the MP either.

Aphrodite posted:The color balance thing is actually there with 360 and PS3 too. Microsoft uses warmer colors than Sony does, and you'll have people who prefer one over the other. Yeah I guess these things can be somewhat compensated for in TV settings. Its a bit like when you get a the TV in the showroom set to DYNAMIC and every ones skin tone is a shade more orange than Jersey shore, so's it can demonstrate its ultimate power of vivid color. Its funny how little the majority of people even notice that sort of thing. One thing plants vs zombies has going for it is pricepoint. It's 40 dollars instead of the usual 60. It also looks really fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqjLVhqTDJ0 I like the boss battles there and overall the horde mode looks good.

Iron Tusk posted:I don't think MGS is quite Japanese developer hates all things American. I think it's more of the fact that the original platform development target was probably the ps3, porting to 360, then later porting to the other 2 systems, and the time spent on optimization wasn't as intense. I think we'll see that as titles are made for the current gen first either exclusively, or ported back, it will probably shake out more like Thief, where the One will obviously less detailed in some way, but more like 1080 v 900 instead of 1080 vs 720. It'll be interesting to see if both consoles can maintain 30 fps for Thief when digital foundry get around to it. I think you're right with the 1080 vs 900, or 900 vs 720 which are the gaps we see in bf4 and ac4. Also agree with the TV bit. No one is throwing out a working flat screen TV. If you look on eBay/Craigslist/kijiji you can still find tons of people trying to shift CRTs! boom boom boom posted:edit: It's also pretty loving racist. You don't know poo poo, I hope you're loving ashamed of yourself. Calm down  suggesting a Japanese developer would develop it better for a Japanese console is pretty dumb, but it doesn't qualify as a white power movement.

It looks like Titanfall will be bringing a few more boys to the yard then. I wonder if they will offer any sort of compensation to people that bought in the UK. I remember when the original Xbox had a price drop shortly after launch in England they sent me a letter (old school) and I got TWO free retail games. Two!

virtualboyCOLOR posted:Ah ok. Let us know how it goes. Hopefully they'll reverse the switch in your favor You might be waiting a few years for my inside scoop. I'm no expert on region locking but I think it would need to be implemented on the physical disc itself. Reading through that article it sounds like their issue is that they bought a game from a different market place via eBay. I can see why you'd want to do that as it's much cheaper, around 30 pounds instead of 45. So that's not really a problem with someone moving region. Otherwise why would anyone not set their region to the US, is this different from the 360? I know that was region locked for physical discs. That Xbox support page you posted won't load for me.

They already did this from day one in the UK with FIFA, which is always the biggest selling game during the period it comes out. It's not a massive deviation from that. I guess if all xboxes were sold out you wouldn't see the titanfall pack in though as there'd be no point. Plants vs zombies comes out tomorrow, there's people streaming it on twitch already. Might go trade in my dead rising which will almost cover the 40 dollar cost, I'm all done with that game now. It looks like fun.

In the polygon article the mockup chat is brilliant, "this game is really awesome when you dance while playing" should be on the cover of all Forza 5 games. Updates are always a welcome sight and it's good timing to get twitch going for the release of Titanfall. I sincerely hope that awkward drunk couples fondling each other isn't a PS4 exclusive.

Wheany posted:Well, yeah, that was sort of my point. I'm waiting to see what kind of poo poo they are going to pull. I can make a pretty good guess. There's a sticker store where you buy customization options for your character, consumables, weapons upgrades, and new rare characters. I made this quick video to show it http://1drv.ms/1mwYZdd I've got almost 20k credits in under an hour played and the majority of that time I have not known what I'm doing, so I reckon the most expensive pack can be earned in less than an hour and half maximum. There's a LOT of stuff to unlock though as you can see. Most of it is appearance related. You unlock stickers as you play too, that's how I got the moustache and red hat. Unless you really need everything unlocked and don't want to play the game then I don't see why you'd need to do any micro transacting. If I'm right it would be like when EA released microtransactions for BF3 after it had launched, you could buy all the gun unlocks. Having a lot of fun so far, I traded dead rising in so this only cost me 10 dollar. It will definitely keep me entertained till the titans fall. Game runs really smoothly and it feels like there's s ton of character upgrades and new abilities to unlock for each class. I've only been playing in the newbie welcome mat game type but will mainly be playing the conquest mode one I figure out what's going on.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:Titanfall is coming 2 weeks later on 360, and the port is by Bluepoint - one of the best porting teams around. Larger playerbase there as well, so don't fall into the trap of thinking it's an exclusive. Also it's on PC but you probably already knew that. The One versions going to be a lot better than the 360 version. I don't think the player base will matter too much, think you'll always be able to find 11 people per continent Plus if its anything like the player bases for bf4 it won't be that much different.

Awesome! posted:after seeing the bone/360 MGS5 comparisons I think "marginally" is probably really accurate Yeah its at 30 fps though compared to The One's 60.

For all we know it's 1080p60 and shits rainbows out of the front usb ports whenever you kill an enemy titan. You saw the quote in my post, that's about the minor difference in screenshots for mgs5 360 to The One. I was just pointing out that the difference there is One is 60 and one is 30. Maybe it will be the best version though.

No. I'm pointing out that if you want the same graphical difference as MGS5 then you're going to have to play Titanfall at 30fps. That's the twitch fps I was referring to. Hope you follow. I don't believe they will raise the resolution, I'd prefer they dropped it to 720 and got rid of the tear to be honest. But then I'm playing on a 28 inch TV PvZ is good, will definitely keep me entertained for the couple of weeks till Titanfall.
