A lot rides on the success of Titanfall. For Respawn Entertainment it is the culmination of four years' hard work - the first project that many of the team has shipped since the release of Modern Warfare 2 in November 2009. For Electronic Arts, it's a chance to redeem something from its lacklustre EA Partners endeavour, while the game represents Microsoft's biggest hope in regaining momentum and catching up with the PlayStation juggernaut. In our opinion, Titanfall is a stand-out game that must be played - but Xbox One is perhaps not the best platform to play it on.
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.
Got my copy yesterday, but with no X1 until next week, i had to play it at a friends house....and the framerate/screen is definitely a problem for me. Anyone who says it runs at a smooth 60fps is either oblivious to framerate droops or is plain lying. When there is a big battle going on with multiple titans it stutters a ton, just like it shows in the video, dips to 25.6.
I hope Respawn manage to smooth out the kinks in the upcoming patch. I know it's their main priority right now.
Apart from that, it's great. Had a lot of fun.
for console warriors :
"So, just like the beta, we see Titanfall frame-rates on Xbox One dip into the mid-30s at its worst, and at those points the rock-solid consistency we saw in the early iterations of the Modern Warfare experience is gone, and with it - arguably - the essence of the "twitch" shooter."
"the Xbox One version simply cannot sustain the required 60fps. The consistency in performance just isn't there and so the gameplay often doesn't feel quite right. "
My person opinion is that this is happening because of unoptimized coding. A game like Titanfall, which just looks "bad" should have no problem running at 792p,60 fps on Xbone
Man can't imagine how X360 will fair. It makes sense why it's 30fps if mort is to be believed.
I wonder would a drop to 720p make for a more consistent framerate/lower drop?
This definitely goes against what I've heard so many swear against while playing TitanFall! It begs to ask the question of who to believe! Hmm....
The flagship titles of the Xbox1 version of TitanFall seems to not be as great as the majority of people are claiming it to be! Which also raises the question of what are these same people motivations or agendas!? All these high scores, yet the absence of or mention of these issues in the majority of their reviews!? It's quite puzzling to say the least.
Then there's Respawn at the backend saying these issues will be resolved, when in truth they shouldn't have been present to begin with, going by their own words! The Xbox1 power is really called into question above all else, becauese it pretty much nagates the majority of their claims both hardware and software focused alike.
All last gen sites like this were major focal point in the so called "Console Wars", let's see if that same focal point remains intact this gen! Or will it be conveniently dismissed due to tables being turned!?
One thing is for sure, it should make for some interesting entertainment.
so a great game with some "performance issues", like the article said it's a "stand-out game that must be played" . don't bash it because you can't play it
