Titanfall is a perfect example of why graphics don’t always matter

Titanfall isn't an amazing looking game but it doesn't matter, because just like a lot of video games, Titanfall's gameplay is key to what makes it so fun.

[pat_11_5]

When it comes to this game, it's all about gameplay and not graphics.

[iamnsuperman]

Sure, gameplay is vital for a game to work (ultimately the first thing to get right) but you don't want to spend 60 bucks on something that looks like arse (just a note I am not saying Titanfall does. It was just a more general comment about games in general). Visually appealing is important (if that is realism or a nice art direction). I was hoping with this new generation we could move away from the grey/brown look which plagued the last generation

[Gazondaily]

To be honest, the visuals are no where near what I would consider next-gen. In fact, they would be decidedly average by last-gen standards imo (apart from maybe some of the crazy stuff happening in the sky line).

But yeah, Titanfall has that addictive quality. It won those awards at E3 not because it looked next-gen but because the gameplay looked like fun and the next step-up from the COD formula that people expected but instead were lumbered with recycled annual affairs.

I love the gameplay. There is always so much going on. Look at this gameplay video and this is the kind of thing you can expect to happen in almost every game:

[Eonjay]

There is this falsehood spreading that says that you can't have both. This is incorrect. Given the right time, engine and power, you CAN have good graphics and gameplay. Would Titanfall be rejected it it had good graphics and destructibility. I hope not. You can have both.

[WildArmed]

Actually, I'm pretty fine with that.

Content and game play have always been the most important to me. I play RPGs alot, so visuals vary from amazing to psx-era. I am fine with that, the only thing I really care about is having stability. The game needs to run at a good stable FPS and not crash.

[Anthotis]

It's also a perfect example of why having more than 12 players is important.

[georgeenoob]

Bu bu Titanfall looks like 360 game! *rolls eyes*

Respawn are the veterans and most talented of the multiplayer experience. Look at CoD4, that game changed multiplayer forever. Was CoD4 known for graphics? No. Gameplay is THE top priority.

Respawn will deliver yet again in revolutionizing multiplayer, too bad a good number of gamers won't experience it.

[Boody-Bandit]

Gameplay should always be priority one but graphics matter a lot to me as well. You can have and should be able have the best of both worlds. Especially on brand new hardware. The fact we are even discussing this I find to be a little disturbing and makes me wonder about the future of the X1.

Titanfall not only isn't a graphical juggernaut but it's barely running over 720p, meh textures, no single player campaign and only 6v6 online. That doesn't exactly add up to a very taxing game.

I am really interested to see how this game differs on the PC. A recent article posted here said it has crazy textures on the PC and you can run it at a lot higher resolutions as well. So maybe that version will be the best of both worlds.

@georgenoob

Quake, Unreal Tournament, Counterstrike and the original Battlefield changed multiplayer forever. Not COD4. You really need to have a tad more experience in gaming. IMO the best experience I ever had online was CS and I've played them all. Just my opinion of course.

[Eonjay]

@georgenood

Yeah its a shame that this game wont reach its potential by skipping systems, but the lack of good graphics isn't exactly a badge of honor.

Anyway I think in the end it will work out for Respawn, because it helps them to build an audience on the Xbox One; because in reality most people probably would have gotten it on PS4 anyway. Now maybe they can help sell some Xbox Ones. When Titanfall 2 comes out, they will be an actual market on Xbox to sell it to in addition to the larger PS4 base.

[Bigpappy]

@Eonjay: you are forgetting that the game will be on Xbox 360 and also. Your comments seem a bit fixated on X1 vs PS4. We all know PS4 is selling faster, but that does not tell which user base would buy more of any game.

[BattleAxe]

I don't really think the graphics are bad at all. You would think that people are talking about a PS2 game the way the graphics are being judged.

[UltimateMaster]

I can tell you a bunch of other games that game play is just better than graphics.

So basically, this means 'buy the Xbox 360 version'.

[Rocky5]

I guess it must just be me, but I like the graphics & they don't look last gen, there are high res textures & the models are detailed, I guess peeps are looking for CG graphics & anything less is classed as crap.

Also the gameplay is awesome so much fun & the wall running & stuff is well fun.

[Ipunchbabiesforfun]

Um, CoD4 when it came out was cutting edge. I remember game informer and everyone else hyping the graphics so high. It came out in year 1-2 of xbox 360 and it set the standard. Go look it up, I know I'm right because I still have the issue talking about how awesome the lighting and everything was. Chernobyl was mind blowing for 2006-2007.

[Sarcasm]

I'm with Eonjay. Is it really a crime to ask for BOTH? An amazing super high quality game should have everything, which means great gameplay, sound, netcode, and graphics.

[pompombrum]

Gameplay is obviously the main priority but graphics should still be a secondary concern. I was impressed with the PC graphics seeing how it's running on source but still, another concern has to be how on Earth they can't get it running at a higher resolution on the Xbox One.. the game doesn't look that graphically demanding at all.

[awi5951]

Perfect example the portal games they dont look the best but was voted game of the year by alot of people anyway.

[BallsEye]

By looking at the screens on the net I thought it will be awful aliasing fest with crap graphics. I was never so wrong! Launched it yesterday and somehow there are no jaggies! It's very sharp and crisp, more than bf4. Particle effects are very pretty. Call me crazy but I actually liked it more than console version of bf4 at times. It's just very clean , simple, sharp and easy for the eye. And yes I do have a perfect TV settings with high sharpness. Maybe it's that recent xbox one update that makes it so smooth? I have no idea but you guys shouldn't believe these crappy screens on dualshockers. It looks NOTHING like it. Oh did I say the game is Fkin AMAZING?? And yes I hate COD.

[Knushwood Butt]

Tell it to the PC gamers.

Also, wasn't this argument the common knee jerk response when defending Wii games back in the day?

[Aura2001]

And that argument pretty much still stands. Even on PC Titanfall really doesn't look that good.

[Dynasty2021]

Exactly.

Us PC crowd are getting an even higher graphics setting. "Insane" or something.

The game won't look much better as it already looks shit.

Graphics settings can't take away the last-gen features in this last-attempt from MS.

[JustPlay4]

Isn't this why people hate COD, not everyone hate the way it plays just it graphics because of old engine I know gameplay has been the same for wail but this seem kinda dumb when other people bash games for this very reason
Yes I'm a cod fanboy, I'm also buying titanfall for PC because im cod fan

[Clunkyd]

True, But why not have both Graphics and Gameplay?

[hellzsupernova]

All games should be gameplay over graphics!

[frostypants]

Sssoooo...just buy it for the 360?

[Rimeskeem]

Yes that seems to be very self explanatory

[andrewsqual]

I know what the article is saying. Half Life 2 is on the exact same game engine and is the greatest game that was ever made. Titanfall is not and will never be in the top 500 though.
That said this game needs to come under other scrutiny that this articles fails to mention. We ALL know that gameplay is important about a game. But at least when a game like Warhawk, that was online-only in August 2007, and released on PSN it was only €29.99. What gives them a free pass to charge full retail for this? Oh because the gameplay is the most perfect thing in the world? Warhawk was the best game out there online back in the day with 32 players having it out on foot, vehicle or by air and looked great too and for a fair price.
People are talking about Titanfall like it isn't just a fps game where you point your gun and shoot.

[misterbe3]

BF2 back in the day on PC was multi player only, and they charged full price for it.

[SuicideKing]

I am loving this game, the beta is a blast gameplay is so smooth!

[kraenk12]

while this is true the PC version looks considerably better...so why don't have both?!

[medman]

You know who says graphics don't matter? Gamers whose system can't display high res graphics, that's who. This just in....a games look matters.

[NeoTribe]

Not sure why we cant have both.... why make next gen games look like old gen games and say "its not about graphics". Why exactly do we invest in ne t gen machinery if were gonna let devs get away with this bs. Imagine this game with bf4 graphics.

[Wingsfan24]

The graphics are pretty good imo. There's a lot of little effects going on, and the Titan animations are really great to look at from the ground. Sound design is great too, everything booms, having a lot of fun with the beta right now aside from wanting the player count to be risen for human players.

[SlavisH2]

I think so too. I think its mostly trolls. I was thinking this game sucked and looked like crap. I got to play it today and its great and graphic are good.

[Wingsfan24]

I wouldn't say "trolls" really, just differing opinions. It's not as good looking as Battlefield 4 per say, but there's other games coming out soon that will show off graphics. Titanfall is fun and that's what matters to me.

[pat_11_5]

Yea, they certainly aren't bad, that's for sure. I just wish they had that next-gen sheen to them (I don't feel like the visuals do at all).

[LexHazard79]

I haven't play it nor do I own an Xbox One but the videos I watch on youtube the game looks pretty good. Also, arent the graphics getting a lil bump for final build or is this it. Also I want to hear from someone thats actually playing it on Xbox One and give me honest opinion! Is the game fun also how doew framerates hold up? Thanks!

[hello12]

No frame rate drops on x box 1 unless someone jumps in with a crazy bad internet connection. They should block people from different countries jumping into servers they are not close to.

The graphics are not what you call next gen. But the gameplay and maps and titans work well, my only issue so far is the bots. You often end up with more kills against bots than people.

[Galletto3]

Its very fun so far. Framerate is steady even with the pure chaos from every side

[PhantomT1412]

Yeah graphics are pretty good. I had to turn all the settings to low (besides the resolution) because it wasn't running smoothly but I was too lazy to figure out the optimal parameters, and the game still looked good.

[Tedakin]

I've started to get really irritated when every time a game comes out the first thing people do is count the lines of resolution, and that number dictates to them whether the game not only looks good, but is good overall. If there's that much of a difference in appearance, why do you even need to count? Can't you just look and see how apparently bad it looks? Nope. Titanfall is sharp and crisp as hell. Is it a Killzone caliber game in appearance, nah, but it's still beautiful in its own right and the most fun I've had with any game in a long time.

[WildArmed]

More importantly, TitanFall has an art style.

I am so glad to see more shooters with an art style than the generic realistic look.

Games need art style, not high res textures.

Some games will look bland at 4k as well, because they don't have artistic direction. While other will look great at 720p.

[yezz]

You're right that aesthetics are more important. But Titanfall still looks bland to me. I wouldn't say that it looks bad but looking at Shadow fall or BF4 I'm expecting better from a next gen title, considering that the maps are not huge and don't have destructive environment.

[kickerz]

Best comment I've read all week Tedakin.

[WeAreLegion]

Totally agree. It's just a shame MAG got trolled for the same reason. :/

[Pandamobile]

Well, MAG looked like a PS2 game.

Titan Fall looks to be what I consider "good enough". It's not a graphical powerhouse but it gets the job done. I've been playing it on PC with maxed settings and while it's definitely not in the top ten best looking games I've played, the quality of the graphics does not detract from the overall experience.

[WildArmed]

But MAG was 256 players, there was a reason for that.

You had a lot of active parts in the game.

Vehicles, helicopters, motor strikes, bunkers, walls which the player could interact with (one way other another).

MAG was a lot of fun when you had some friends going.

256 game vs 12 isn't really fair.

But yes, TitanFall looks pretty close to current standards, you could not say that about MAG.

[WeAreLegion]

Case in point.

[scott182]

@pandamobile

"I've been playing it on PC with maxed settings"

there ya go.

Mag was a ps3 game with 256 players, not a 6v6 pc game on max settings.

[Hicken]

If Titanfall were doing HALF as much as MAG, it'd be acceptable to not look so great.

[Sarcasm]

Apples and Oranges. MAG looking like a PS2 game considering the amount of stuff it had going on at once, it's not a comparison.

Now Titanfall vs something like Battlefield 4. Seriously... Battlefield 4 (despite its netcode issues) make Titanfall look like an X360 launch title.

[Pandamobile]

Not really. There's a LOT of stuff going on in Titan Fall. Just because it's not other players doesn't mean it's easy.

There's usually 30 or so AI enemies in the map at a given time. All in your immediate vicinity too, so there's a lot action happening.

[Hicken]

Highest report of bodies available in a match on Titanfall was something like 48. That's including 12 people, 12 AI-run Titans, and a bunch more bots running around.

That's still less than 1/5th what MAG had on a map at once.

Sorry, but there's no comparison between the two games.

[scott182]

I guess mag and Titanfall are good games to compare right? One being an older game from a last gen system and all. Tell me when Titanfall has 256 human opponents not to mention all the vehicles and we can compare a last gen game to a new game. Pretty great servers sony had even last gen to run a 256 player online game too...

[BlackCarrot]

MAG and Titanfall are totally different games. Imo, MAG got a lot of stick because the gunplay was quite poor and the gameplay repetitive. I had a great time playing it when it first came out though and I didn't really think about the graphics.

Titanfall is a COD style shooter. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the type of game it is.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Then there is games like Deadly Premonition that defies both and still is fun as hell.....

[ger2396]

That's 100% true. Graphics don't matter as long as the game is fun. Having said that, why would someone upgrade to an xbox 1when they can play on the 360 or pc.

[Talidan]

That's my issue with it.

When it's pitched as "next-gen gaming", but can be done on the previous gen, why are they touting it as a revolution?

Titanfall is supposed to be THE Xbox One game that will draw people to the console. Why? If it not only looks a little dated, but plays the same as the last-gen version... what's the point?

[WildArmed]

Well for one, people do love streaming/recording their games.

Which you cannot do on Xbox One.

Secondly, I'm sure they have more than just TF in mind when they bought their Xbox One.

As games more towards ditching last gen consoles as a platform, it is a good idea to upgrade.

[Jovanian]

Well graphics AND gameplay matter to me, so I play on the platform that provides the best of both worlds. PC

[HeWhoWalks]

Agreed, and beyond that, if graphics "didn't matter", what was the need for newer consoles beyond the 360 and PS3? Heck, why did we even need those, the PS2/Xbox/GameCube did the job fine, right?

[TomahawkX]

If graphics didn't matter we'd all still be playing the Atari 2600.

[PraxxtorCruel]

And I'd have no problem with that. I only had to go with the bandwagon because they cut support for those consoles. You either go with the time or get left behind unfortunately.

[WildArmed]

Well, not true.

Atari 2600 had a memory barrier as well. So there was content limitation.

Games got longer and got much more content from those days.

[LogicStomper]

"If graphics didn't matter we'd all still be playing the Atari 2600."

Classic strawman fallacy. You're misunderstanding the authors idea of 'graphics doesn't matter' and attacking the misrepresentation of it.

If you compare the graphics of Forza 4 and Drive Club, do the differences in graphics affect your ability to enjoy the game?

http://gengame.net/wp-conte...

http://gengame.net/wp-conte...

How much does the graphics differences hinder your ability to enjoy these games on this gen (Xbox One, PS4) consoles? Do the graphics really matter here? No.

Now (with the same generation, PS4 and Xbox One) knowing how powerful the consoles are, if driveclub came to you like the second image, rather than the first, would it matter? Yes, yes it would.

http://au.playstation.com/m...

http://8-bitcentral.com/ima...

See how your comment fails logically now? You've misrepresented the ideas and attacked the misrepresentation, to conclude that the real idea is wrong.

[jdktech2010]

Graphics aren't everything especially in a MP game. Id ont' want to be playing the first Quake out there graphics wise but Titanfall is plenty pretty as far as I'm concerned

[hello12]

Played the game for 4 hours. I didn't notice the graphics after an hour, but the graphics do look like they came from COD.

I do not like the bots at all, it should be just player vs player. The game has a lot of potential, but its ruined by the silly bots.

[shaenoide]

I don't understand all the hype for this game. I played the beta on PC it's quite repetitive after few hours. But I agree with the statement graphics don't alway matter.

[LogicStomper]

"I don't understand all the hype for this game. I played the beta on PC it's quite repetitive after few hours."

That's absolutely fine if Titanfall doesn't suit your tastes. Just like everything else, some people will like it and some people won't.

[pandaboy]

Pretty much. I really don't like it and it does get really repetitive after a short time. It's just people are overly sensitive about this game and so you can't dare criticise it which is a shame because I feel there are some pretty big flaws that are getting overlooked as a result.

[LogicStomper]

@Pandaboy

I think it just comes down to how you word your opinions/feedback. Some people word it with negative connotation which results in this 'sensitivity' around the game. Example:

1) Personally, I don't think there needs to be bots in Titanfall. They don't seem to do much and they give easy kills to the opposing team.

2) Titanfall sucks, I don't see why anyone likes it. They have useless and stupid AI that don't do anything. Having AI in multiplayer is stupid.

So if people were more like example 1, there probably won't be as much sensitivity around it as the conversations would be much more mature than outright blunt.

[Senyra]

Yeh well, it's a FPS game, what else can you expect? Dungeon quests? :P

[shaenoide]

You know there is other FPS beside CoD or whatever you call it...

[windblowsagain]

georgeenoob

And yet BF has always destroyed COD both gameplay and graphics wise. Still does.

Titanfall is decent, a.i is poor, graphics are lowend even on pc. It's fast. But needed bigger maps and alot more players.

[mochachino]

Game looks clean but nothing screams next -gen. It has similar fidelity to COD on PC last gen which isn't anything special.

I suspect the budget was somewhat restricted.

[Npugz7]

This game was so overrated!

[iceman06]

I fully agree with this statement. I just wish that this message was more universally applied by the journalists that seemed to have just espoused this idea. This generation was hyped up beyond belief about what these machines could do...graphically. (by console makers, developers, and YES...journalists) Countless articles were written about textures and tiles and FPS and resolution. But, none of that mattered? (I can actually believe that because...slow news is slow news)
There are a myriad of games that aren't necessarily the belle of the ball, but are extremely enjoyable. But, they lack to profile of TitanFall. Yet, they are usually universally panned for lacking graphical quality, having flat textures, or some other tech jargon that basically justifies why they have chosen not to like it. This is not the fault of Respawn or TitanFall. It's just an issue with gaming media. IMO, it's because the media doesn't want to be on the wrong side of history so to speak. For example TLOU, which I loved and was beautiful to look at, had some AI flaws. These flaws didn't kill the game. But, few journalists mentioned it and those that did went WAY overboard.
In the end, not all pretty games are good and not all graphically average games are bad. In a perfect world, we could have it all. But, this is not yet a gaming utopia. So, let's just keep a consistent message.

[Salooh]

In your logic you should get back to 360 or even the first xbox. It's a new generation, so it must have better graphics/visuals/gameplay/reso lution/fps..etc It's why we get a new generation to get a new experience.

Yes, the gameplay is great but that doesn't mean we should defend it flaws. That thinking won't lead us to the better , it will give the developers more money but they will get more lazy by giving that excuse.

[iceman06]

Did you read my full statement? If you did, you must have missed the entire part where I clearly stated that journalists need to be consistent about their message on graphics. I don't support a barrage of underpowered graphics. However, I also don't judge a game on graphics alone. Which was my biggest point. Games will shine on their own...whether it be graphics, gameplay, some revolutionary new "whatever", or a combination of all three. In the end, graphics matter. But, they shouldn't be the deciding factor for whether to buy/play a game. Nor, should they be the deciding factor when the media decides to praise or hate a game. They are certainly important. But, not vital to the success or fun of a game.

[stuna1]

So if nice graphics don' matter, what exactly is the point of it being labelled a next gen title!? Or better yet why even use it as a next gen console selling point? Next gen titles are the reasoning behind getting a next gen console are they not? Even crossgen titles have bumps in graphics to coincide with an upgraded status of next gen.

Hell, why not everyone just stick to our old last gen consoles, never upgrade our PC's and pull our old floor model TV's incased inside the wooden cabnets with knobs while we're at it!

Certain upgrades are essential when you move forward in generations and IMO, graphical jumps are something that should be considered essential.

[Salooh]

The people that disagree should stick to their opinion by selling X1 and getting back to 360 since graphics doesn't matter.

[SnakeCQC]

It has poor graphics yet it can't handle 1080p

[LogicStomper]

You didn't even read the title of the article did you?

[corvusmd]

I agree with the title, however...I'm playing the BETA right now, and even in the BETA state, if anyone thinks this game doesn't look amazing is lying to themselves...sure the stats may say 792p on paper (for now) but all the other graphical enhancements make you forget that real quick. Esp being that when direct feed compared to the PC version at max settings...the PC version looks better, but not by much. Believe the hype people, this game is getting so much attention because it's the real deal.

[KrisButtar]

Graphics matter to me in a way because if I had 2 copies of the same game, which played the same, but one had prettier graphics, I would pick the one that looked prettier. Would anyone really choose the uglier one?

I hope this game is really good when it releases as its getting a lot of press and if its not, we will never hear the end of it.

[towelie1288]

Wow. This game is fun as hell.
Having a blast on this on my X1

[killzone619]

good!

[RexLex]

Well,.. Sure gameplay should be the king,.. But if good gameplay is pumping ones ego with the dumbest Ai,.. I've ever seen in my life,.. I don't know what to say,.. I was quite surprised just how non existend the Ai is(PC/beta).

It literally is the dumbest Ai I've ever,.. and I mean Ever seen,... Grunts are beyond fodder. It takes them like 4 seconds just to react to you,.. It is funny as hell,..

And I totally agree with this man
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[HeavenlySnipes]

The graphics aren't trash so they aren't an issue

Not every game is going to look like Killzone SF or Ryse this gen.

[Kiwi66]

Graphics only come into it according to a certain group so i guess they didn't have a ps1 etc as the games didn't meet their standards, some of the most fun i had was playing ps2 games so graphics aren't the be all and end all when it comes to games how much fun the game is means more, well to me anyway

[D-riders]

yeah because this game in non HD would be so awesome. and would suck in 4 k

[LogicStomper]

*sigh*......................

Would it stop you from buying a game if you knew it wasn't 4k resolution?

If yes, go outside. You clearly aren't buying games for gameplay.

If no, why wouldn't it stop you from buying the game? Is it because of gameplay > graphics? Or is it that the difference between 4k and HD won't hinder your enjoyment of a game.

If you're going to say "good luck enjoy atari 2600 graphics on Xbone", refer to comment #11.3.

[Max-Zorin]

I don't know about any other community, but a N4G member would shoot you in the head if your console and TV didn't run the latest graphics.

[Father__Merrin]

1st they claim graphics means everything then its gameplay then its online then its..................

can anyone explain why skip 360 version and buy a £429 console to play the exact same game? i mean whats so ONE about it?

[Bearsfanfourlife]

It's a choice to upgrade you don't have to but the xbox one controller is worth the upgrade for me plus I bet it's smoother on the new one plus it's only 429 for 8 plus years of games not just one

[TheGrimReaper0011]

Tried the beta
It's fun
but nothing spectacular IMO
And tbh, Infamous Second son looks like the same deal
It'll be fun, but nothing special
I do wish there was a mode (unless they didnt announce this ofcourse) where you only fight humans

[Bearsfanfourlife]

It's a beta a very good one at that great work respawn

[mogwaii]

Xboned again, lol.

[floetry101]

It's not going to reinvent the wheel for the multiplayer FPS, but I can see it definitely taking Call of Duty players away. Should be the next biggest thing. Free-flowing movement, accessible for newcomers but also requires a mastering of controls.

I've been playing the beta extensively and for games like this, visuals don't matter. They get the point across nicely but it's the action that knocks it out of the park.

[GetRealOne]

Graphics never matter, but when you are buying a next-gen system you want to see something. Probably I buy this game on the 360. COD was always 60fps and I can live with a lower resolution and textures, but I need a few more information. price-Tag, number of maps, a little more gameplay. 60$ seems to much for a multiplayer only game, but if there is more to do than in COD or BF I consider it.

[beatled]

the pc version (beta obviously as it is all I have played) 100% CRAPS on EVERYTHING the ps4 has out currently or has ever shown besides the fake "in-engine tech demos" that will turn out to be 100% bullcrap like deep down already has

[InTheZoneAC]

I think you meant to say xbone because that's exactly what you described...

[kevnb]

graphics look fine to me, last gen is jaggy and lower framerate... current gen is smoother and higher res.

[InTheZoneAC]

if call of duty was set in 2114 they'd call it Titanfall

[bornsinner]

i think cod & minecraft are better examples

[Kingoftherodeo]

guys recheck your email i just got 2 more beta codes idk why i only signed up once but hey more friends you guys can get in to the beta

[Empire X]

This is so funny. Graphics never matter when it's your system/game of choice that's up for debate. Come on guys get with the program.

[jars23]

Who in his right mind would even insinuate that Titanfall isn't beautiful visually?
I seriously wonder what factors the author considered when making that conclusion.

[jkendrick]

The graphics argument is complete BS. Coming from the Xbox camp, When Driveclub was first shown, they would say no wonder its free it looks like crap it can't compare to FORTZA. Graphics was important then. But now its a Xbox game and they say we don't care if it looks like ass, it plays great. Come on guys at least be consistent.

[HEADSHOT-EVAN]

giving away a free Xbox One beta code.
go crazy!
HD3DG-2JKQG-CTVHY-DH4CJ-G43WZ

[Geekman]

I know people will disagree, but I;m just gonna say it anyway. If you think for one second that graphics make a game, then you need help. As long as the graphics don't look like complete garbage, and I can TELL what I'm shooting or attacking, then I could care less about how pretty it is.

[Kingoftherodeo]

theres a reason i keep playing pokemon and let me tell you its not mind blowing graphics like the vita would like to claim

[Azzanation]

Lets look at it this way, Crysis 3 was the best looking game last gen yet Halo 4 had a better experience. Look at Killzone SF, Ryse and Knack all next gen looking games yet there average. Titanfall plays next gen and that's what matters most.

[Gamer666]

Minecraft proves that great games don't need to be absolutely beautiful.

[Bdub2000]

I just played the beta. Addictive, yes. Fun, yes. But, it is unfortunately what all the haters keep harping, COD with mechs. That's my opinion... Think I might have to pass on this game. =(

[MachineGunnTalk]

One thing I thought was funny in the beta is the pink leafed trees, glitches in mods unfinished maps and gpu driver errors used to happen using the source engine and you would get the pink tree glitch seems like a homage. I had to disable one of my cards to play still ran great.

graphics still are pretty good, of course its not as good as like a single player game like Ryse who don't have to focus on the ultra high frame rate and many on screen players.

Guys, graphics DO matter... You don't buy a Next-Gen console for the same graphics... And don't say this couldn't be achieved on the old consoles, because look at the 360... XbOne has terrible graphics compared to PS4. End of. Graphics do matter... Which is why you SHOULD get this for PC... So you get prime gameplay with great graphics.

"XbOne has terrible graphics compared to PS4."

Which is exactly why many are saying they don't matter. Not that using the world "horror" is a bit of a stretch.

I wonder how long it will be before I can hop on here for a quick bit of news without Titanfall occupying virtually every article.

your all fucking idiots who say/think "graphics aren't everything" that comment/statement in its self is a negative

PC players out there are belly laughing at you ..

I've been playing this beta all day, all be it, its seriously fun to play(mainly because the round time is not to short but not to long).. but graphical it NOT nextgen.

considering its 6v6 the xb360 of crysis3 looks way better and thats on a 360 not an XB1
