Max Level: Titanfall Beta Impressions

Max Level: Dear Respawn Entertainment,

You have my permission to impregnate my body with Titanfall.

I’ve had a chance to play Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall beta and if the above statement isn’t any indication as how I feel towards the first-person shooter, I’ll put it into perspective for you, IT’S FRAKKING AWESOME! But before I get ahead of myself and continue to gush about this futuristic mech title, let’s break the Titanfall beta down.

The Ai is seemingly unresponsive I had a group of imc grunts come in a drop ship and I sat there in the middle kicking them in the back. They provide little challenge and it makes it a bit frustrating. All in all I love the game maxed out last night and playing again here in a moment just wish the Ai leveled with the characters.

Pandamobile3870d ago

The AI aren't supposed to be challenging, you're supposed to slaughter them and move on. They're not supposed to be stand-ins for players, they're minions.

Haven't you ever played League of Legends or DOTA2?

GGN3870d ago (Edited 3870d ago )

You actually can rack up a decent amount points just killing the minions. Of course it would be silly to just focus them but passing them up when there is nothing better to shoot is just a waste of points. They should really improve the AI, I agree.

Edit: This coming from max rank always 1st place (not that it was hard to hit max, only took a day)

Ricegum3871d ago

The AI is what's putting me off this game. I do hope there's some improvement.

VENOMACR12273871d ago

Why though? Why focus on the AI when they aren't really important? Focus on killing titans, pilots, and getting objectives. I kill between 10-15 pilots a game and 10-15 bots. Most of those bot kills are walking over them or clearing out an objective. The hardcore gamer can focus on pilots and titans, the casual fan feels useful killing bots. It's a good medium for both play styles.

Should be a hardcore mode where the bots are really strong, that would be nice.

But don't let stupid AI bots keep you or anyone from buying the game. It's a blast to play.

DEEBO3871d ago

They are dumb but i think that's what the game developer was aiming for.
make you fill like a total badazz but can make a room with smarter a.i but then you will have players complain about bots killing them or getting in the way when they are about to get pilot kills.

iistuii3871d ago

I'm not over keen on it. Played it on X1 first then this morning maxed out on my PC, but I just can't get into it. It doesn't look next gen but does play smooth which is something I've not had much of playing b4 on PS4. Good luck to them, but I'm gonna pass.

mhunterjr3871d ago

The AI grunts aren't meant to be challenging. The challenge is supposed to be come from the human players... Otherwise, people would complain about being killed by bots.

The specters, however, will send guided missiles at your titans.

ramiuk13871d ago

well i played it maxed out on my pc today,gave it about 10 games and imo opinion its crap.
graphics poor
AI game breakingly stupid
titan killer gun,just locks on then changes target if another goes near making it impossible to killi f more than one in area!

there was about 5 enemy titans within less than a minute.
i got a titan and then once i got blew up ,it said i had another in 2 minutes without even killing anyone.

really didnt like it and i hope that its improved for launch.
i actually feel sorry for MS now and i hope sony doenst fight for it on ps4.
My plan was to get on my pc but im not.

i think the game has recieved to much hype and it doenst live upto it,infact i think its so poor that i wouldnt of done a beta as it will put alot off buying imo.

finally though it plays smooth and i wish them all the luck with it but i will stick to ghosts and bf4

GearSkiN3871d ago

At the end of the day, it's your opinion.

ramiuk13870d ago (Edited 3870d ago )

exactly dude,my opinion,i hope people who buy it really enjoy it.
maybe down line when its balanced out i might enjoy.

i reallywanted to love this game,i was wanting it from the second i set my eyes on it.
im gutted its alot weaker than hype made it

its far from a system seller.

VENOMACR12273871d ago

Yikes that was tough to read.

Why call in your titan if other team has 5 on the map? You can see how many titans there are by the score board. If a team has outnumbered your titans, don't drop yours in, wait until your team kills them.

And the lock on, it locks onto an enemy. It cant help if there are 2 or 3 titans together and they keep moving around.

ramiuk13870d ago (Edited 3870d ago )

it shouldnt jump from one to the other.
once its 90% targeted on one it shouldnt jump to other imo

Star Wars Jedi "Final Chapter" Being Worked on by Respawn

EA has confirmed that Star Wars Jedi's "final chapter" is being developed by Respawn Entertainment, though there's no release window yet.

RaidenBlack5d ago

Curiously will this also be a delayed-cross-gen title?

Electronic Arts CEO: AI Is "At the Very Core of Our Business"

Today EA hosted its Investors Day, and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson talked about the company's dedication to generative AI.

He's so excited to layoff more employees for FAKE STUPIDITY computer programing to replace them.

Hopefully EA takes a nosedive just like Ubisoft is currently doing. Lack of money is the only thing that can hurt them and possibly change them.

DarXyde4d ago

Knowing EA, I think they're more likely to sell their games cheaper or make Access the only way to play their titles than change course. They seem committed to destroying their labour force.

And the sad part here is that the proof of concept is there, where games can be made using AI.

I hate to say it, but those working in the gaming industry might be cooked. And unfortunately, I'm doubting most people will care as long as they get games they want. EA would absolutely dangle Dead Space 4 or a new Burnout in front of us, developed with AI. I wouldn't take it, but I think most fans would.

CantThinkOfAUsername4d ago

If AI does a better job then yeah why not? Though, I have massive doubts it will. If developers aren't willing to put effort in their games then they shouldn't be surprised that they're replaceable.

Chocoburger4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Damn, a new Burnout, don't even bring that up. It hurts just to read those words.

The indie scene is massive theses days, but the big budget scene is mostly trash. I wouldn't mind to see these big publishers suffer or crumble away.

But that can only happen when the casual gamer stops buying yearly roster updates or whatever garbage is marketed to them on TV.

DarXyde4d ago

CantThinkOfAUsername,

I disagree. I don't believe the developers are at fault here. I would think those people don't like what EA is doing, but it's EA and they have tremendous power in the industry. Not everyone has the leadership qualities to peel off and form their own company. Add to the fact that falling out of grace with EA might just be an industry kiss of death. These people don't have any power, so I really don't agree with saying they're not willing to put in the effort.

thorstein4d ago

Now we just need to develop AI CEO and sell it to the board of trustees.

staticall4d ago

Hopefully, the only people who're going to be replaced by an AI are Andrew Wilson and his top management goons.

TheNamelessOne5d ago

And EA games aren't at the core of my purchases.

XiNatsuDragnel5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Lmfao ea needs to do an ubisoft rn

ApocalypseShadow5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Of course it is. EA has been lazy for years. Profiting for investors and themselves without putting in the work. Having AI write code or build graphics for them just makes them even more lazy.

I'd laugh if those same investors built "executive code" and got rid of EA's CEO and board of directors and replaced them with AI.
