Titanfall looks amazing, but it plays much, much better than it looks | Penny Arcade

Penny Arcade: "EA showed off a new game mode for Titanfall, the first game to come from Respawn Entertainment, at Gamescom this week. The accompanying trailer is embedded in this post, although if you really want to get a sense of the game’s visuals you’ll want to download the high resolution version of the file. Watching the game being played via Youtube isn’t going to show you everything you should be seeing."

It looks amazing to me!

So if it plays better than it looks....

Woo Hoo!

tuglu_pati3892d ago (Edited 3892d ago )

This is the game I'm really looking forward to play. It just looks amazingly fun.

StoutBEER3892d ago

@tuglu How dare anyone dislike you're comment. They must not enjoy fun.

Skizelli3892d ago

I can almost say without a shadow of a doubt that this will be the game that finally dethrones COD.

DevilishSix3892d ago

Titanfall is not going to sell like COD, sorry you can dream though. COD is getting long in the tooth, agreed, but COD was loaded with content. Story mode, competitive multiplayer, spec ops missions, zombie modes, etc.

They need to show more of Titanfall, because once the newness wears off, will the content be there? That is what I want to know. We know there is no story mode so that is strike one. Will there be any co-op?

Salooh3892d ago

In gameplay yes, but sales i'm 100% sure it won't since it's not coming to ps4 in release date. That's why i say it's their lost. They are missing an opportunity to kill cod next generation because of timed exclusive..

Skizelli3892d ago (Edited 3892d ago )

@DevilishSix

Not at first. 1) It would be foolish to compare it to COD sales now, seeing as COD keeps breaking records every year, 2) it's not an established franchise yet, and 3) it's a console exclusive. On the other hand, you'll be betting against the people who put COD on the map in the first place.

If history is anything to go by, COD won't be the king forever, just like GoldenEye and Halo before it. They just aren't doing enough with the franchise to make it stick out anymore. It'll eventually lose the crown for that reason alone.

Let's be honest. There has yet to be a COD plot that has outdone COD4's, and most players don't even bother with the single player anyway. Ask yourself why people keep playing COD in the first place. It's not so much the regurgitated content as it is the gameplay itself, as stale as it is now. It just "feels" good.

That's why I think Titanfall is the next big thing. It just looks extremely fun to play, and I'm hearing it controls better than it looks - something the former IW founders know something about.

A new reign has to start somewhere.

StoutBEER3892d ago

Farts are the unheard screams of poo.

ATi_Elite3892d ago

OK i just watched 6 minutes of KZ:SF MP video and It does NOT compare to Titanfall.

KZ:SF had it's speed increased from previous games making it more intense but it lacks all the goodies and new gameplay that Titanfall is offering.

Titanfall > KZ:SF MP

That's just my 2 cent opinion and I'm looking forward to Titanfall on my PC.

(I'm just comparing MP Modes as KZ:SF is all about the SP Mode which should be better than COD:G and BF4 SP mode)

Salooh3892d ago

Both have it's won atmosphere and feeling , why compare it ?. But you can compare titanfall to cod since they are the same developers who created it . I will enjoy both when they release in the ps4 :P .

HeavenlySnipes3892d ago

Titanfall gameplay we've seen has been scripted developer gameplay. Maybe it's just me, but I've yet to see the game played by a random.

The KZ one from today was a random guy playing botzone

With that said, Titanfall still looks like it'll be the best X1 game next to Project Spark.

This game looks fun to play, but hardly NEXTGEN. I'll be getting this on Xbox360.

Fireseed3892d ago

Handling a ton of action on screen, running 2 concurrent campaign mode interactions while oneline, as well as sporting maps that have been outfitted with 2 radically different movement systems (Titans and Freerunning), and it's not "NEXT GEN" care to enlighten us what is "NEXT GEN"?

Irishguy953892d ago

Next gen is kz shadowfall . Which has quiet literally not innovated or attempted anything new in the gameplay departmebtnt. Nothing to stand out like titanfall and bf4

DevilishSix3892d ago

I will enlighten you because it can be played on 360. The PS3 cannot run Shadowfall as it was developed from the ground up for the PS4. Titanfall has been developed for multiple systems in different generations of hardware, it isn't next gen.

Salooh3892d ago

What the hell with these comparisons ?. Just enjoy both .

On tyre comment : i agree , graphically and even in gameplay most of it are possible in this generation . However , that doesn't change the fact that the gameplay is awesome..

Doesn't really stand out graphically, but game play looks fun. Getting on PC.

ABizzel13892d ago

Graphics aren't everything, but seeing the game it doesn't amaze or wow me at all. So I guess I've have to see if playing it changes that. The maneuvering mechanics may be enough to get me to play it.

starchild3892d ago

I agree that it doesn't have quite as good of graphics as some of the other shooters like Battlefield 4 and KZSF, but I also think some of you more diehard Sony fans tend to downplay the visuals too much.

It looks fairly good and it conveys the world they are trying to present very well.

I also can't believe the way some people are going off the rails in some of those other threads, claiming that KZSF looks far better than any other game. It's just more exaggeration. I think KZSF looks very good and I will be getting it with my PS4, but a lot of what I like about it is the art direction. In technical terms it really isn't doing anything that Battlefield 4 or Crysis 3 isn't already doing.

this game looks so amazing, day one buy !!!

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad588d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g588d ago (Edited 588d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."

Respawn Entertainment is Discontinuing Sales of Original Titanfall

Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

Ethereal869d ago

Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.

littletad868d ago

This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.

Ethereal867d ago

I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.

Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
