Titanfall Producer Drew McCoy was stuck on a plane today, and he took the chance to respond to quite a few questions from the fans about the game on Twitter, giving some very interesting answers about the game's past and future.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
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.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
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."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
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.
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.
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.
lol
Title is missleading, I guess that's why the usual suspects are approving it:
Actual quotes
"Maybe never. Working on improving performance alongside. We’ll see how it goes…"
"The 2 aren't always mutually exclusive. Top priorities for lots of us right now are improved performance and stability."
I don't think a 1080p patch will be released but perhaps a few more fps and less screen tear at 792p?
Haters gonna hate.
From the article:
He was also asked when the Xbox One version will be patched to a higher resolution, but his answer wasn’t exactly encouraging for pixel counters.
"Maybe never. Working on improving performance alongside. We’ll see how it goes…"
Yet, he didn’t exclude the possibility, saying that resolution and framerate aren’t mutually exclusive, but priorities are elsewhere:
"The 2 arent always mutually exclusive. Top priorities for lots of us right now are improved performance and stability."
Save you guys trouble from opening Dualshockers. In a sense, there still might be some changes to both framerate and resolution but the game is fine as it is now and some additional performance boost is always welcome, of course.
Edit: LOL, the disagrees from me sourcing the article, keep 'em coming folks. :)
Why do people think it's hating.
Titanfall is a poorish looking game by todays standards and that's a fact. It runs at 1408x792 which isn't too bad.
But it slows down in places and screentears, so it's common sense that before any rez bump would take place, performance would need increasing.
I played the beta on PC and it was fluid enough affair, but fugly.
