Titanfall to Have “Insane” Texture Resolution on PC; Graphics Settings Detailed

Titanfall has been affected by quite the controversy about the low texture resolution of the Xbox One alpha version, that Respawn Entertainment defined as not final while insiders described as set in stone, but looks like PC gamers are in for a treat.

[IIZANGETSUII]

Good to know cause i will probably pick up that version, really dont care about the graphics of this game, im sure it will be fun no matter what.

[ovnipc]

Yes pc has the best graphics still im getting it for the Xbox One.

[HomerJDog]

lol @ the disagrees. Damn haters

[WildArmed]

Whatever floats your boat man.

Be is the controller vs kb/m, be it the coach vs table gaming, be it your buddies on steam or your buddies on Xbox Live.

A game is a good game regardless of what platform you play on.

[UncleGermrod]

So many disagrees for this. You should need your steam or live account in order to post in titanfall discussions...dam haters. Oh well, any way I wanna see this game running on on plasma already. I bet it will look quite nice overall, and I'll be much too busy playing to bother watching the comparison vids.

[erathaol]

I believe it.

http://wccftech.com/titanfa...

Signed up for the PC Beta.

[AuToFiRE]

As much as I respect your opinion on the subject, doesn't it feel like you are getting ripped off? No mod support, lower native resolution, lower resolution textures, lower frame rate, higher price, can only play it on the xbo and not next gen.. Why?

[alexkoepp]

Dang, hottest game on n4g at 56900 degrees! More than Infamous and The Order combined! Nice work Microsoft on securing the games that really count!

[Crazyglues]

Ok that's cool, Looks like PC version for me then....

probably get a GTX Titan Black Graphics card to go with this Game, since my ATI 6970 is kinda old now... Can't wait to check out the beta on My PC...

It's a shame this was not on PS4 too would have probably look really good on there.. /As a PS4 gamer I must say this is the one title that I was thinking dam you XboxOne guys lucked out..

-But since it's going to be on PC too/ then I guess I'll play it there. Game is looking like it's going to be a good one.

Titanfall is one of the few games, along with Spark, that really interested me from the XB1.

Fortunately, I don't have to buy a XB1 for either and can just play them on PC.

I hope this game does reasonably well. It's nothing amazing, but it's different enough to get other's dev's to take notice.

[LKHGFDSA]

this game is supposed to be a system seller for the X1 but it's no better on the 'bone than it is on 360 or PC.

[AndrewLB]

And that same thing applies to games released for both PS4 and PC since the game would be no better on the PS4 than on PC, in fact i've yet to see any PS4 version match the PC version of any game.

[listenkids]

@AndrewLB

Fifa 14 and Tomb Raider for a start, if you're talking visuals, are of higher quality on console. Aside from that, there's really not much else available.

[DonMingos]

The thing is the PS4 system sellers don't come out on other platforms

[k3rn3ll]

So are u the one person in the world that has seen 360 footage of this game? They're is no 360 vid orf this game anywhere. Do t just make stuff up. Makes youlooknlike the fanboy u are

[Dynasty2021]

@Listenkids

Moron, Tomb Raider for consoles had entirely new textures added to it over the original PC version.

OF COURSE it looks better in places. PC still has higher resolution textures overall though if you actually bother to look at the proof.

[WildArmed]

Now, I have to ask.

What is "insane"? If it's anything like those HD textures for skyrim (and that super late patch for DA2 for HD skins), I think it will be a pretty game (not that it already isn't!)

My PC isn't too great, but as long as I get a steady frame rate, I'll be happy.

[Volkama]

The article makes you wonder if some people think "insane" is a technical term. It's just a word, not a measurement.

Still, it's a word that has my second graphics card purring. It likes getting attention.

[WildArmed]

@Volkama

Exactly, I'm not a fan of buzzwords, I like to quantify what I am looking at.

Maybe that's just the engineer in me speaking.

[Gamer1982]

Seen videos run the game on max on PC so far though and it still doesnt look no way near as good as battlefield etc.. Doubt it will allow mods either being online only. So we could make the game look even better.

[caperjim]

Good news but I remember Respawn saying that the game would look better on Xbox One due to cloud capabilities. Heres a link to one article......

http://n4g.com/news/1287106...

[JodyCones]

Picking this up on my PC, of course!

[candoa]

Find it a funny that all you guy have to say i'm picking this game up for the pc. why specific? why can you just say I'm picking this game up? I wonder why?

[darksky]

I don't have an Xbox One or 360 but I'm picking this up ;)

[Silly Mammo]

@candoa- because MS and the press keep emphasizing how its a XBone exclusive and it isn't.

[JodyCones]

@candoa That's the point, it's humor. I'm doing what everyone does in- literally every article, yet you're trying to single me out? Let me guess, it's because you play on the xbone. Or you're just not a "fanboy" -kind of guy that completely contradicts himself. Hahaha. There's nothing wrong with preferring a particular ecosystem.

[Kidmyst]

I just hope EA doesn't do their typical crap and push the game before it's ready. What I have seen looks great though!

[k3rn3ll]

Fortunately respawn owns the ip unlike other ea titles. In this BBC case ea is just a distributor. So they can't put the game out until respawn says ok

[ThatArtGuy]

If I play this, it will be on PC.

[ThatArtGuy]

Look! I can preorder on Origin right now! ;)
https://www.origin.com/en-c...

[sinjonezp]

@Thatartguy,

I completely agree. I do hope the game have SLI, and Crossfire support. Also, I hope that the mod community can jump all over this game. That would be insane! I know its on Origin. Hoping

[MiloGarret]

^
Why would yo need both? SLI and Crossfire I mean.

[AndrewLB]

Jonez- Games like this typically don't get a lot of mod support simply because the type of game that it is. The ideal type of game for modders is something like Skyrim. Especially since Bethesda allows and even supports the mod community by including special launch and add-on tools. Not many devs would leave the code that accessible on online FPS games due to how easy it would be to hack.

[Conzul]

Same here, if I can run it at high or max.
I have an old PC I built in '11
AMD Phenom II X6 @3.7Ghz (OC)
Radeon HD6950 4Gb
SSD Raid0 @1005MB read/600 write
16Gb DDR3

Will...will it run...(snigger)...at....at max? :P
[/closet PC elitist?]

[RexLex]

I would be seriously worried, if you cannot maxout a source engine game.

[MRMagoo123]

my spare parts PC under my sons bed could run titanfall on high lol you should be fine with that i guess.

[Gamer1982]

@rexlex actually older engines that are modified actually need a lot more resources than newer engines that are designed to run with modern hardware and at higher resolutions. This is because the engine is having to use more hardware to process all the extra stuff it normally wouldn't need.

[AndrewLB]

Hehe.. Well your 3 year old setup has about 30% more graphics than the PS4 and about 2x more than Xbone since that card of yours does about 2.4tflops.

[pcmasterrace]
My PC is mostly from 2010, except my video card which I upgraded in 2012.

Intel i7-860 @ 4ghz (corsair H80i water cooled)
GTX 680 4gb @ 1200mhz
16gb DDR3-1600
OCZ Vertex 4 SSD 256gb + 2x1tb WD Black Raid-0
X-fi titanium HD
[/pcmasterrace]

[OwnageDC650]

I'm going to purchase this for my PC. Insane textures and I'm sure I'll be able to buy it for under $60 bucks in no time.

[k3rn3ll]

Not on steam man. Sorry ea is in control

[JustPlay4]

Awsome, can't wait play this game should be fun hope I get in the beta soon

[OsirisBlack]

Well that settles it buying it for PC

[TomahawkX]

Never bought a game on Origin, do they have insane sales like steam? I want to see what all the fuss is about... if the price is right

[OhHiMark]

They usually have sales when Steam does, to counter it. Sometimes, the sales are pretty decent, but don't expect too much. I would recommend downloading Origin, at least. Maybe try some demos. It's not as full-featured or as quick as Steam, but it's alright. I personally wish EA would just give up and use Steam, but I'm sure they're making enough on Origin to justify its existence.

[SteamPowered]

I wish ubisoft and origins both give up and go with Steam.

[Volkama]

@SteamPowered marketplace competition is good. It would obviously be nicer if they would unify the social and platform features, but still I wouldn't wish for a single vendor to control the market.

Activision are angling for their own platform too, bit surprised it's taking them so long to get involved.

[Grave]

Titanfall uses Valve's Source engine. Pretty funny.

[Dark_king]

Sorry to tell you but no they don't.

[aquamala]

I have never bought a game on the Origin store, but Amazon sells Origin keys, better chance of sales there. think I got BF4 for $25

[TomahawkX]

nice, how about Green Man Gaming?

[hiredhelp]

Origin doesnt have sales as good as vavle also very limited..
However As i use origin with several titles bf3,bf4,dead space 3,crysis 2 fifa yada yada yada.. It does have Cloud Saves witch always Neet..
Not a patch on Steam but hey.. Im buying this game

[OhHiMark]

Awesome! These guys have traditionally been good with PC versions. :) Can't wait to play it!

[FlunkinMonkey]

I clicked agree before I even read your comment..

"YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISAAA!"

[skydragoonity]

Everybody wants to play this on pc or 360... So much for the "system seller"

[Aces17]

Yes people who don't have Xbox One.

[Allsystemgamer]

My friend has a. Xbone. He's getting the PC version like me

[MRMagoo123]

why on earth would you choose the Xbone version over the PC ? i mean really , there is no reason at all to do that. PC version will be better graphics, better res, better fps, better controls.......i just cant wrap my head around getting it on xbone when a low range pc will play it better.

[Prime157]

Mrmagoo, i agree, and people can use a controller or m&k if they prefer! I've met people who own on the controller, even though I don't get it.

[mcstorm]

@MRMagoo123 I'm getting the Xbox one version as I don't game on pc. I stopped gaming years ago on pc as debs got lazy when making games only for powerful pc's so I moved to console. Yes games don't look as good as on the pc but they still play great and alot of people I know don't game on pc so makes sense to game on console too.

Can't wait for this game looks like its going to be a hit for ea and it will be interesting to see how well it sells on all 3 platforms.

[Owen305]

Preorders on the xboxone version doubles the preorders of 360 and PC combined. Look it up fanboy

[hiredhelp]

Owen ... Seriously you need start fight MS VS MS lol
Oh dont under estimate software sales PC. Pre orders one thing buying day one also is another..

[candoa]

funny you get disagrees for stating facts. I saw the numbers and your right. I'm telling you titanfall is driving ps fan nuts. they hate that they cannot play it, and please don't come with I'm playing for the pc bs everybody know your freaking LYING!!.

[testerg35]

LOL.. PS4 fanboys.. they'll even hop on the 360 just to knock down the xb1.

[Allsystemgamer]

That's reaching and you know it. Grow up.

[Utalkin2me]

What are you 5?

[fenome]

EDIT:

Nevermind, not even gonna stoop to your level :p

[jgrigs09]

To bad Xbox One has more pre-orders :). Nice try though

[solar]

im gonna give it a go on PC even though im not to keen on only 6v6, but duh the PC version will always look better then fixed hardware limitations of both consoles.

[OhHiMark]

I'm sure mods will change that 6 vs. 6 pretty quickly. I hope so, at least. Large LAN parties will need a higher player count.

[solar]

Too bad EA stopped letting their game devs released SDK's 😠

[TheTowelBoy]

This is good to hear. I wonder if it'll be on steam, or origin. Probably a stupid question right? :(

[Pandamobile]

Origin

[LAWSON72]

Origin was confirmed around E3 and for some reason has been confirmed again by many major sites a week or so ago

[JasonKCK]

EA doesn't really support Steam which is too bad.

[LAWSON72]

Hope I get in the beta to see if I should get it sometime this summer

[AutoCad]

people will buy it on pc? lol
but what about the bots and horrible outdated source engine?

yall crack me up

[LAWSON72]

We are not the ones having 100+ post articles about PS4 running below 1080p or not 60 fps. You all crack me up. The people whining about bots and low player counts are the Xbone gamers who think 6v6 is a thing of the past.

Sure we say the visuals are nothing special and that is probably true due to it running on source. That does not mean we dont want the game because guess what the most played games on Steam are Source engine based games.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Controversy? No. It's an alpha build. Respawn clarified today that they are hoping to hit 900p in the final build so it's even better than the proposed 720p. Who in the F keeps harping on the resolution? Play the game! I have and the last you will want to do is cry because it's not 1080p native.

[annus]

Resolution and texture resolution are different. You can have high resolution game, but low resolution textures. This article is about the textures.

Higher texture resolution takes up large amounts of RAM and it very dependant on faster RAM to quickly load it into the GPU when it's needed, which is why PC's use GDDR5 RAM. There is also the fact that higher resolution textures require a greater amount of power to render.

[Utalkin2me]

Lol @ Crab,

It runs at 792p right now and sub 60 frames. Dont hope for 900 and locked 60 fps without something taking a hit. Just get used to hit, gonna be some long years to come for Xbox1 owners. At least you have fantasy football and cable.

[starchild]

I love how Sony fanboys are all over the "sub-60fps" bit now when it comes to Titanfall, but had no problem calling PS4 games like KZSF and Tomb Raider 60fps games even though they actually spend most of their time in the 40s and 50s.

[combatcash]

Not many games this gen will be locked at 60 fps that's for sure, even on pc you're not going to get that unless you're looking to spend some serious money on dual gpu's.

[Prime157]

Star, you. Are. missing. The. point.

[Utalkin2me]

@starchild

Got some info to back up those claims? Being youre here to defend.

[maniacmayhem]

Does anyone have any info to prove Star wrong?

[No_Limit]

@ Utalkin2me ,let me help my friend, Starchild out.

Fir KZ:
http://playeressence.com/ki...
Killzone Shadow Fall’s Multiplayer is not 60fps “a lot of the time” as Guerrilla Games said"
"Digital Foundry has done an official frame rate test and uncovered that the game barely ever reaches 60 fps. Most of the time, its in the 40-50′s range, sometimes even dipping down into the high 30′s."

For Tomb Raider:
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
"Activity is far more interesting on the PS4 side though, with frame-rate varying from anything between 32fps to 60fps across our sample, with elements such as TressFX, depth of field and transparent alpha effects hitting frame-rate in a cumulative manner."

[MadLad]

Wow. An actual PC version then, it seems. Very good if so.

[KakashiHotake]

The thing that gets me about Xbox One version of Titan Fall is in this gen 1080p and 60fps should basically be the standard or at least come close in certain games. The fact that Xbox One is being proven time and time again that it's incapable of such a feat is disappointing to say the least. Some may make the argument that Forza and Killer Instinct are 1080p, but that is a racing game and a fighter which is not too difficult to achieve those specs.

Titan Fall is arguably the most important game for Xbox One and could make it or break it and is suppose to give fans a true taste of the next gen, yet it's barely surpassing the 360 version, and aint even coming close to the PC version. It just boggles my mind that Microsoft didn't make their console more powerful for the $500 base price.

[starchild]

How in the world should it be a standard on consoles when the PS4 doesn't have even one single graphically demanding game that runs at 1080p AND 60fps?

BF4 = 900p and 60fps
KZSF = around 30fps for single player, 40 to 50fps for multiplayer
Knack = around 30 to 40fps
Need for Speed Rivals = 30fps
Tomb Raider = fluctuates mostly in the 40s and 50s
AC4 = 30fps
inFamous Second Son = 30fps
The Order 1886 = 800p/30fps
The Witcher 3 = 30fps

So far it seems the PS4 is equally "incapable of such a feat". And the only standard I see emerging, if any, is 30fps for graphically demanding games on XB1 AND PS4.

[webeblazing]

Now starchild you should know not locked at 30fps = 60fps for Sony fanboys

[Empire X]

So this means Microsoft/EA Will show the PC version for tv commercials and what not for Xbox One.

[CaulkSlap]

PC version is always best. Only problem is Origin.

[Asuka]

I'll probably get this for pc as well. If you do some looking you can actually preorder an origin key for about $45 now lol. But its probably safer still to buy from origin shop.

but origin......i really don't want to reinstall that =\

[cyclindk]

That's a relief, I now will consider a purchase, but not definite.

[Jovanian]

Good, but I'm more interested in proper FOV settings that you won't get banned for altering

[Jovanian]

Oh wow didn't even realize it but there is a setting for FOV in the screenshot. good job respawn

[cell989]

so PC will have the definitive edition

[Pinkdolphinyfg]

Graphically speaking, yes every multiplat game that has a pc port would be the definitive version. Why this argument is brought up is beyong me because its been that way last gen and will be that way this gen for essentially all multiplats except people always will bring it up for Titanfall to sling mud at the game since its a microsoft exclusive. Grasping at straws from fanboys...

[TH3BR3W]

They are all x86 platforms. No more ports for the PC so they can actually program the game for pc on multiplats and then just do what they need to do and set all the settings to mid for the consoles.

[cell989]

I just don't understand why Respawn themselves claimed that thanks to the "cloud" the xbone version would be the "best". More proof the cloud is the biggest bs marketing scam ever. Now I'd like to see just how much different the none cloud powered 360 version will stack against the xbone.

[NaAsAr]

at least i wont have to pay to play titanfall online with origin. will i?? ^-^

[BOLO]

Definitive version confirmed.

[Onixg5mer]

PC IS ABOUT TO GET BIGGER AND BETTER

[SonyAddict]

So much for the X1 having the definitive edition...chuckle chuckle!.

[zpoc]

hope i get in to the beta. i'm not buying the game without trying it first.

[lunatic0001]

I hate when people bitch at console games not being 1080p 60fps...people who actually thought that this generation was going to make that the standard are dumb...people are going to be disappointed with this generation of consoles...I have an idea if u care sooooo damn much about resolution,fps, and all the other technical shit do ur self a favor and get a PC because consoles games are always going to be behind compared to their PC counterpart....PS fanboys and Xbox fanboys are practically arguing about who has the least shittier version of a game...idiots

[ChipsDP]

Good job Titanfall has a FOV slider. I'M LOOKING AT YOU COD GHOSTS!

[bornsinner]

what about ps4? LOL

[saas11]

PC FTW <3

[alb1899]

Come on you are in N4G, what you expect?
No body think is something to get hype and in case they play it will be on PC.......jajajaja!
The preorders for Xone are the double of the PC and 360 combine.....eat this!

[McScroggz]

The truth is this game will not have insane textures or be visually stunning, but that doesn't matter. It hasn't mattered for Call of Duty either. It's all about how fun it is to play and how balanced and varied the maps are.

[Petebloodyonion]

WOW a article about options that you have already have in any PC games!!!!
Never before could I change v sync, resolution, texture, shadow, anti aliasing, ETC.

WAIT WAIT WAIT OMG! I can change the brightness!

PC gaming just go way better.
NOW I KNOW why I got a 1500$ gaming rigs /sarcasm

Let's just hope that they don't screw up like all past Ea games on PC (bf4, Sim city, Starwars Old republic)

[Father__Merrin]

OH COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[star129]

The game developers should make their games to be as graphically beautiful for people with normal standard PC not for the most high tech PCs out there. It is otherwise segregating towards people with not so much money. Wait for the people to catch up when the components to upgrade have been redused to the standard the normal people with average income can do afford the upgrade. If they do they probally sell more in the end and people would be more happy with them win,win you know.

[DarkLord1003]

Even if you are a fanboy - how could you possibly deny that Titanfall will look best on PC?

[McGamer]

Too bad with all that resolution there will be no customization for the mechs or the pilots...
