and a pair of the ShroudsBut to comment seriously on what you said, I think the majority of the public feel the exact same as you.
However, its been part of gaming since its inception. Whether it be speeding running games, perfecting play-throughs, or acquiring every item in a game, some people find that engaging and/or entertaining.

I agree some do. I wish MS would reward us for collected a certain amount of achievements by giving us little discounts here and there. Like for example if we acquired 5 Day One Achievements during a 12 month span MS could give us 5 to 10 dollars off on our next game purchase.and a pair of the Shrouds

Didn't want to post this but every single insider has said it's true.
I'm hearing the GPU underclock will put the XBone GPU at half the power of the PS4's! Do you see them going through and manufacturing the XBone with low specs or pushing back the launch date?
Can
Did you not watch Sony's reveal. Mark Cerny went into detail about the PS4's architecture and why they went the way they did and right now it seems they made the right decision. It's more Powerful, easier to develop for and easier to manufacture.
They also showed lots of games from first party, third party and indies. I wouldn't exactly call them a mystery

Welp. Kinect is mandatory, it can read your body heat etc, underclocking at half the speed of the ps4?

might as well
youre not ever going to get the truth from microsoft
the general public still has no idea how powerful the wii-u is and thats exactly what microsoft wants
if certain rumors turn out to be true, you think they want you knowing that xbox has almost half the computational power of ps4 when it could likely be bigger and more expensive? hell nah

Respawns new game info leaked
Can't wait to see some gameplay
- Xbox One, PC
- Xbox 360 version developed by someone else
- Planned to target current gen, but realized that they couldn't run it
- Started to look into next gen and the answer they got from Microsoft intrigued them
- They said they needed to focus on fewer hardware. In the future they are open to more. They don't specify if it would be this project or another.
- Plan to use Microsoft's Cloud for dedicated servers and physics and AI calculations
- Spring 2014 Release Date
- There are a good amount of screens. In my opinion it visually looks pretty nice.
- First person shooter
- "Mech" and ground combat
- "Mech's" are called Titans.
- They want these Titans to feel fast. They can dodge etc.
- If you don't want to pilot the Titan you can have it follow you, killing people as it goes along.
- Player characters are called Pilots
- They are extremely agile. Can run on walls, multiple jumps.
- They can take down Titans. Jumping on them and shooting the "brain".
- You need to be cunning as a pilot. "Hit and fade" tactics is the term the game director uses.
- Pilots come equipped with a variety of weapons. Pistol, Assault Rifle, Anti-Titan Rocket Launcher, data knife used to hack AI characters into joining you.
- There are AI enemies on the maps.
- You survive longer than in COD. Making it more welcoming to newcomers.
- Source Engine. Building new engine = too much time.
- Source gives them 60 fps
- Modified Source - "Rewriting major portions of it".
- Article talks about the process of forming the team, being fired, prototyping ideas etc. I recommend reading it.
- Going for a District 9 or Blade Runner vibe.
- Integrate memorable single player moments into a multiplayer game.
- Storytelling style will be more Left 4 Dead.
- Humans segregated between Earth and frontier planets. Corporation trying to take the resources of these frontier people.
A lot of the article has to do with Respawn's origins, actually.
So here's the exclusivity mention: They thought working on PS4, Xbox One and PC would prove too difficult for a small team, so they decided to focus on one console instead of two. (er...). "Not to say we won't [go multiplatform] in the future, but for our first game we wanted to focus on making the best game we could."
GI points how that the Xbox One has 5GB of GDDR3 ram available to devs, whereas PS4 has 8GB DDR5 ram, and asks if that's a problem for Respawn. He says they're having trouble even using the 5GB efficiently with all the new architecture tricks. (that is to say, even if they had 8GB they wouldn't know how to use it properly at this stage of development)
GI: "What XBox One lacks in RAM, it potentially makes up for in cloud computing." Talks about how the game will have unlimited dedicated servers for the game, offloading "a few dozen AI" and physics, says the game would be impossible without the cloud and wouldn't have attempted it. Still dealing with unfinished hardware and software, so it's "still a little rough going at times."
From the article about Titanfall:
"Thanks to the more open maps, healthy mix of enemy AI and real players, and the ultra-powerful titans, the gameplay loop in Titanfall is more accommodating to newcomers."
"Seeing a match play out on three different player screens in a short demo after the the target gameplay video, the average time of life seems drastically increased over the average Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Halo match."
Going to go dig for other gaming news before it gets yanked.
From Titanfall article:
"Hulking 24-foot tall mechs concentrate heavy fire on anything that moves while lithe soldiers zip across the map with a swiftness normally reserved for superheroes"
"Legions of AI soldiers pour in and out of buildings on a large-scale battlefield as dropships deliver reinforcements from above"
Weapons of soldiers can vaporize multiple targets at once, but the mechs can repel shots back.
Blurs line between competitive multiplayer and single player.
"The titans move at the speed of a regular soldier in many first person shooters and feature an array of heavy firepower that make them formidable adversaries in open space"
Titans best offense is good defense.
Titans can be player controlled or can be commanded to guard an area or follow you around.

We got Leaks!!
Love the sound of big agile mechs.
Sounds like a timed exclusive.
Also doesn't this quote...
"the game would be impossible without the cloud and wouldn't have attempted it."
contradict this...
"Xbox 360 version developed by someone else"

Here we go, MS starting next-gen like how they started this gen...money hat for time exclusive ..Mass Effect/Bio Shock all over again IMO ..
- 5,132

Not that it matters but I think Mass effect would have stayed exclusive had they not been bought by EA.
As for this Titanfall it sounds like they didnt have the resources to develop for 2 consoles and chose 1, they do say they may look into ps4 down the road or sequels who knows.

Someone at NeoGaf made a good point
So much bullXXXX in that article.
So much bullXXXX in that article.
- couldn't do it on current gen consoles but are making it for 360.
- impossible to do without cloud but are doing it on 360/PC/probably PS4.

the best part is being asked about ps4's 8gb and saying that xbone's 5gb is so much that they dont know what to do with all of itSomeone at NeoGaf made a good point
lets not kid ourselves, the one thing every dev out there wants is more ram

Respwan is owned by EA, they would have made a PS4 version if they wanted too.
This is probably part of the deal MS and EA have. Timed exclusivity on some games

theyre not owned by ea, theyre independent
ea is just their publisher for this game

I think all gamers browse the same threads on this forum whether its the E3 , Xbox , PS4 , etc. It doesn't matter which thread it is your commentary just sucks in all of them I doubt I'm the only person who feels like that either . Nobody wants to see your fanboy post littered through EVERY SINGLE gaming thread on this forum just relax its never that serious lol
