Digital Foundry tech analysis of Titanfall is out! (E3 Demo)

[QUOTE="RR360DD"]

[QUOTE="ManatuBeard"]

So much hype for nothing... now i understand why other are going for 30fps, if its very stable is more than enough.

uninspiredcup

Graphics make a game do they? TitanFall looks great, I'd much rather take silky smooth 60fps gameplay that the ex-IW guys are known for instead of input-lag ridden, all flash no substance Clownzone

:lol:

I mean the fact TitanFall is running on the ancient Source engine should be indication enough that this is a dev studio NOT trying to woo people over with just pretty graphics. Don't be so shallow.

Dont worry, since it's ex-infinityward, the gamwplay will bw shallow as well.

Soo much butthurt so far before release

Can't wait to see the meltdowns next year when this starts getting AAA after AAA

:cool:

Not sure what point your trying to make. Fallout 3, Oblivion, Skyrim, Bioshock, ModernWarefare 1,2 and indeed 3 got fairly high review scores.

Doesn't change the fact most real gamers (i.e. pc gamers) see them for what they are. Crap. Same with this. I'm sure IGN will tell you it's a 9.5 - ok and will clap and hee-haww and getting a feeling of validation. However people who free-think with huge pc master race brains, we care not.

With one close-up of a Titan descending to just 40fps..."

:lol:

 But but 60 fps..

I would take Killzone SF 30 fps with great graphics than this crap with sub 60 fps,at least killzone look god enought to be call next gen.

Killzone - 20fps

Drive Club - sub-20fps

:lol:

...lol damn it only took sheens a week to flipflop on digital foundry you guys are getting two faced politician down to a science.

WilliamRLBaker

So when DF say forza look good is ok,but when they say this game is a mess and doubt the so call power of the cloud they are not.? :lol:

 

Killzone - 20fps

Drive Club - sub-20fps

:lol:

RR360DD

At least Killzone look next gen and not like a 360 game..:lol:

And Forza 5 to hit 60FPS had to turn off everything,is basically a last gen game at 60fps 1080p,Drive club at 35% done is already doing more..:lol:

I never knew where the hype was coming from for this game, I've been saying it looked crap since mid way through the debut trailer

Another game on Xbox one doing 60 fps and still none for the PS4.CanYouDiglt

Is sub 60fps it drop as low as 40 fps and look like crap,with wash out textures and a hord of problems,i wonder where is the cloud,oh i forgot that the whole cloud will not be ready until 2015..:lol:

"When it comes to that crucial point of performance, Respawn is true to its word in delivering a bridled 60hz response during its E3 demonstration. Not a single frame is repeated over the four minute stretch, producing a monotone reading at the head of the frames-per-second axis. Having double-checked many thousands of these frames by eye after the automated pass, we can confirm that it runs with v-sync engaged at full-blast 60fps regardless of the intensity during battle. It's a hugely promising step forward into the next generation, and starts a movement that is to be followed by the next Halo game and Battlefield 4. "

Keep trying tormento :lol:

What a disaster

But titanfall was going to be the next call of duty :lol:

CoD was never a technical marvel. If gameplay is as fun then yeah it might be. 

[QUOTE="TheEroica"]Wow... There are truly somepeople with some deep seeded pain over this game... Its becoming remarkably pathetic. I hope every game is AAAA including Titanfall.... XBOunity

"However, the actual benefits of Xbox One's cloud computing remain uncertain. The promise is that AI and physics calculations are handled remotely, from the 300,000 servers set up by Microsoft's cloud service, Azure."

"Looking for practical evidence of it during the demo, the AI element is accounted for by the many CPU players, whose decisions can feasibly be determined by a remote, host machine. On the other hand, physics-based interactions are kept to such a bare minimum in Titanfall that it's not clear where any external influence comes into effect."

"In the pursuit of 60fps, something has to give way though - and it usually comes to light when looking too closely. It's the uncanny facial animations during NPC briefings, the rough-looking textures on Titan interiors and billboards..."

"The jaggies are a curious point in particular; even judged by the high quality feed we have availability direct from the Microsoft E3 conference there's more sub-pixel shimmering and rough edges than any other game on show, which suggests this may not be a full-blown 1080p title in its current state."

"While 60fps is inevitably a slam-dunk for the Source engine if the active hardware here is indeed a PC, it's curious to see Respawn's shorter two-minute trailer, which precedes the gameplay demo, struggling to reach 50fps in spots and showing clearly the devastating effects of double-buffer v-sync when frame rendering runs over the ultra-tight 16.67ms budget. This trailer cuts together a montage of clips to show off more intensive, cinematic scenes alongside gameplay from new levels, where those featuring heavy effects work and broader draw distances visibly suffer from stutter. With one close-up of a Titan descending to just 40fps..."

Titan ASS

Game looks and uns like shit. So much for that lemmings :lol:

This is a very good reminder to any lemming who touts 1080p/60fps as if it's some sort of achievement, even Uncharted 3 on PS3 looks better AND with swaying foliage. gpuking

Like I have been saying game is way over hyped and is no where near the level of other games.

It seems to be a big deal to people like tormento. I'm not a graphics whore so i don't care if TitanFall doesn't look as good as Clownzone. I know it will play better. :cool:

Any idiot lemmings wanna hype this anymore?

Well, it's either this or Ryse. Tough choices :lol:

New Drive Club vid is out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52-N5icyp6g

Its not great quality because it was taken offscreen at the London Event, some things were optimized already, framerate/detail/AA/pop-in still need a few more touches, but considering Motorstorm history, Evolution will do those tweaks when everything else is done.

The difference from the last show display of Motorstorm 2 to the final release was HUGE!

So expect DriveClub to crush plastic-car-Forza instantly.

Oh gosh somebody needs to link up those screenshots. Here we are:

The demo shows a largely static level by design, with no procedural damage to the environment in the manner of Battlefield 4 or The Division, nor rag-doll physics - everything is set in stone, and not even the grass or trees animate.

There is not enough power to even ad this gen tree or grass bend simulation...:lol:

Another Forza 5 case of everything turn off to hit 60FPS.

In the pursuit of 60fps, something has to give way though - and it usually comes to light when looking too closely. It's the uncanny facial animations during NPC briefings, the rough-looking textures on Titan interiors and billboards, and what seem like scaling artifacts that betray either Titanfall's early development status, or its commitment to being about gameplay first, appearances second. The jaggies are a curious point in particular; even judged by the high quality feed we have availability direct from the Microsoft E3 conference there's more sub-pixel shimmering and rough edges than any other game on show, which suggests this may not be a full-blown 1080p title in its current state. From what Respawn has announced so far, the 60fps bullet-point is proudly announced, but it remains tight-lipped on what native resolution is intended for the final game.

Sub 1080pwith everthing turn to stone and off...

Dat Cloud power.

and we are supposed to believe the the PS4 is not powerful enough to run this game.... They be trolling...Nengo_Flow

It's just PR BS. Just like this gen when people said Sony exclusives couldn't run on the 360. It's all lies to promote one system over another

:cry: bu....but have you SEEN Titanfall?!

:P Well that was quick. I told lems to stop hyping this last gen game but they wouldn't listen. It's a pity even with the old as hell source engine they could only reach sub-1080p @ 40fps. What exactly are teh cloudz good for? Forza is running at 1080p @ 60fps but it has building from PS2 and prebaked lighting and effects lol.

NOBODY said Drive Club is 35% done NOW

The demo shown at E3 in June, was locked from the game state in FEBRUARY, when it was 35% done.

You should read some interviews before making stupid comments.
