Titanfall Xbox One Alpha version running at 720p and 60 frames per second

Insiderp:"We have done the pixel counting and based on our own analysis and the images leaked at Titanfall Planet, the alpha version of the game is indeed running at 720p ,as was initially speculated by neogaf Insider Thuway . The resolution of the game won't likely change at release, but the texture density would change as per developer Rayme . Based on our extensive analysis of the alpha , we can also confirm that the game is indeed running at 60 fps."

So let the 720p jokes begin! I'm sorry but this alpha not final version so let's not complain here

resolutions dont change but the final game would have better textures. We will find that out at launch

720p *chuckles* Xbox One needs to step it up when it comes to resolution. I hope Titanfall 2 is 1080p on PS4. Also, I'm sure most people will buy Titanfall for Xbox 360 since It's only 720p. I wouldn't buy a Xbox One to play one game at last gen resolution.

Patrick_pk444491d ago

@NatureOfLogic

Titanfall 2 will definitely be on the PS4. Remember that Respawn is not owned by Microsoft, however the first Titanfall will be an exclusive on the Xbone and PC. Basically, if another Titanfall game will occur, the PS4 will be a platform.

I remember Ryse pre release. People accused Microsoft of not using a actual xboxone to demo the game. Microsoft denied several times. Then at release Microsoft admitted it was on a xbox development kit(which is a high end pc) not an xbox one.

And the final resolution of Ryse was not 1080p like the dev box. So I don't expect things to get better except for the texture resolution on Titanfall. Hope it can at least get to 900p. I will wait for it on PS4. Where it will be 1080p and 60fps and at least the texture resolution of xboxone.

KingDadXVI4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

The TitanFall Alpha is only using 25% of the final games texture resolution.

"Titanfall 2 will definitely be on the PS4. Remember that Respawn is not owned by Microsoft, however the first Titanfall will be an exclusive on the Xbone and PC. Basically, if another Titanfall game will occur, the PS4 will be a platform."

That is not a guarantee but it may happen either way you will be waiting until 2017 to find out as TitanFall 2 is not coming out until then as per EA. Here is their statement of how they are going to handle the launch of their 3 main shooters:

"The shooter rotation we think about now is Battlefield, Titanfall and Battlefront, and so we like those three brands going forward,"

http://www.polygon.com/2013...

So BF4 was 2013, TitanFall 2014, Battlefront 2015, BF5 in 2016, and then TitanFall 2 in 2017. You may get it on PS4 in 2017 provided MS does not just buy exclusivity for it.

@Computersaysno

Good luck getting a better version on the PC. It is optimized for the Xbox One and its Cloud servers. Here is the reply from Respawn during an interview describing the use of Xbox One Cloud support:

"When asked if Xbox One’s cloud computing capabilities would help TitaFall, Respawn developers had this to say:

“You couldn’t make this game without having that kind of dedicated server support.”

Not only that, but since Respawn won’t be using the Xbox cloud on the PC version of TitanFall they say the PC version won’t be as good as Xbox One version. Or at least they hint at that. They said:

“We won’t get all the nice-ities on PCs that you get on Xbox One. There will be some re-engineering things.”

Basically Respawn says that the game will be best on Xbox One because of the cloud. Since the game is an online title it makes sense that they’d use this feature so much since players will need internet to use the game anyway.

truefan14491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

AS an XB1 gamer, I can say that it is preferred that a game run at 1080p, but I don't think many of us will lose sleep over it being 720. Didn't the so called better quality versions of BF3 and COD on ps4 get outsold by the lesser versions on XB1. ps4 fans are the only ones who would rather look at a beautiful game (killzone) than enjoy a fun one(titanfall). I didn't get a chance to play it, but the videos and fan reactions have been positive so I'm still preparing for titanfall. PS ps4 gamers just wait for titanfall 2 if it ever comes to pornstation. Even if you buy it for PC or 360 you are still giving the company you hate money. HYPOCRITES.

GameNameFame4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

@edonus

that was biggest damage control I've ever seen.

My PS3 and Xbox 360 gets upscaled and gets displayed in 1080P.

You must be really desperate to suggest that somehow it is magical to upscale 720P. LOLOLOL

http://i.minus.com/ibmkI64o...
That is AC4 on Xbox One and PS4.

LOL. Upscaling didnt do anything. Oh wait. My TV automatically upscale anything below 1080P. ahaha

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34491d ago

The thing is though, one of the devs says it's running at 25% of the complete resolution, so maybe it will end up being native 1080p as the final product.

MysticStrummer4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

"You guys do know that the game displays in 1080p"

Upscaled < Native

But, you know that. I know you do.

@King Dad - Neither of the second two links works, but the latest interview stated that all versions will be using the same cloud the same way. Or at least it was the latest interview a few days ago.

Ju4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

"BF4 got outsold on XBox One" ah huh...that's why more people play it on PS4, huh?

kopicha4490d ago (Edited 4490d ago )

@Ju

What is new with M$ manipulating numbers? They have done it a lot in previous generation. So I have never believe in what they said neither this time around. Considering they even lied before they launch their next gen. And people are still buying their shit. And come up with tons of damage control. Gamers these days are sad

Bob Dole4490d ago

Bob Dole will be playing this at 1080p/60fps on PC. Might even hook it up to the TV and use the controller to get the full experience.

Computersaysno4490d ago (Edited 4490d ago )

LMAO @ KingDadXVI

“You couldn’t make this game without having that kind of dedicated server support.”

So........they made it work on PC miraculously?

“We won’t get all the nice-ities on PCs that you get on Xbox One. There will be some re-engineering things.”

What nice-ities? Totally retarded AI? 720P only?

I wonder why they were so incredibly vague about these amazing advantages 'the cloud' is supposed to provide. Hmmmm. Wonder why?

Sorry, but PC will be the best version. Because Microsoft paid a truck load of money to make Titanfall only on 360/One consoles, no question made sure Respawn had to say a bunch of crap to make you believe it'll somehow be better on a weak console than on a good PC.

If you STILL believe all this cloud nonsense then you are rather delusional. Have you not yet caught on 'the cloud' is a gimmick, jargon Microsoft are throwing around as much as they can. Can you not see it's more a marketing tool to fool people like you into believing Microsoft have some wondrous significant advantage over everything else, when they don't.

There is sooooo many examples of this, even on games designed for the most powerful platform in PC. Sim city is just the latest high profile example. Everyone knows 'cloud processing' supposedly designed into the game (it's IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THIS, HONEST!) was an enormous load of bull, proven by analysis of the code execution, forcing the game offline etc.

The PC version will be by far the best version of Titanfall, guaranteed.

NOBODY with the slightest shred of common sense would believe otherwise.

TheXgamerLive4490d ago

The game looks beautiful so to anyone who waits to complain at launch well their probably a little sony/Xbox b&tch and needs to just shut up and go play a game.
720p is HD and always upscales to 1080p so with that said there should NEVER be an argument about Rez. If fps is solid 30 or 60 fps then that also should be mute.
If the game is/looks fun then buy it and enjoy.
Too many little fanboys of all sides always looking to complain. Most are probably 14 and should have no real voice here until you buy the game with your own money that your job earns you.

Dem next gen resolutions

MasterCornholio4491d ago

So far Xbox One and the Wii U are the only next gen systems running games in 720P.

I wonder when the PS4 will start running them in that resolution?

Hopefully not anytime soon because I love playing native 1080P games on my monitor due to how clear the image is.

georgeenoob4491d ago

@Master

Plenty of developers like Dying Light developers are targeting 1080p on both X1 and PS4. It's only a matter of time before every X1 game is 1080p. It's very early in the gen to think developers will never improve development in its 10-year life-cycle.

mohuzas4490d ago

@Master
well to be fair there are sub-1080p PS4 games and 1080p 60fps WiiU games.

theoneb4490d ago

It's not so much the resolution than the actual texture quality. Those textures are current gen. Just like COD Ghosts. Example The Last of us has some of the best textures on any game all last gen but it has the same native resolution of an Unreal engine game. No Unreal engine game comes anywhere close to comparing to TLOU.

Ju4489d ago

AFAIK, there is only one sub-1080p game on the PS4 and that is BF4.

allgamespc20124491d ago

it runs on the source engine dude, if you cant 1080p 60fps that, then theres a lot to be desired on your console. and its a mp game only too, its kind of sad.

DigitalRaptor4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

I don't see where the disagrees can be coming from.

It's a game that has low res textures right now, runs in 720p on the SOURCE engine, is not graphically impressive to begin with, has a 6v6 player count and is supposedly using the cloud for AI calculations, to free up space for the console to work its next-gen muscle.

How can the Xbone not be outputting this stuff at native 1080p?

pompombrum4491d ago

Lol yeah, you'd have thought source engine shouldn't have issues with 1080p.. hell the year Source engine first came out was the same year as Halo 2 for crying out loud.

Computersaysno4491d ago

Source engine is a win for PC. It runs very fast on PC. You won't need much of a PC to hammer Xbox One on this and do 1080p.

If you don't have an Xbox One then even an old gaming PC should be able to match it on this game at the very least.

DC7774490d ago

Bad. The little things are adding up. If this game isn't a hit X1 will join Wii U in the corner.

esemce4490d ago

Yep this is just COD with mechs and 6v6 so with everyone having a mech 'buddy' then it will as system demanding as COD 12v12.

A modified source engine will not be as taxing as frostbite or cryengine and I can imagine running titafall on my PC at well over 100fps maxed out.

Titanfall looks fun but will pale compared to the spectacle of BF3/4.

And 720p @ 60fps lets not fool ourselves here the Xbox One is a weak console now and will always be.

Evilsnuggle4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

I was holding my options on titinfall. All this P.R talk about advice cloud computing A.I I didn't want to eat crow. I thought maybe m$ is right and Titanfall looks last gen but has some advice cloud computing A.I that would be groundbreaking. Nope just more m$ P.R SPIN Titanfail has dumb A.I that runs around in circles waiting to be shot . The A.I doesn't look like it fights back. The graphics are last gen it looks like call of duty in space. Go home people nothing to see here.

Jeedai Infidel4491d ago

Evilsnuggle, Nothing on my 360 looks even close to what I played last night, and it's not at it's full potential yet. And did you stop and think for a second that this alpha test is there to get our feedback on stuff like, oh I don't know, A.I. interaction. If you were ever considering this game, you would be mistaken to think this is anything but a uniquely fun game. I've played tons of shooters since the mid-nineties and I can confidently say I've never played anything on this level. Call of Duty and Battlefield devs should worry about this game.

Addressing some of the comments above and below, As far as future releases going multiplatform, why would any of you Xbox owners care if fellow gamers get to experience this game on their preferred platform? That's childish behavior. MINE! MINE! MINE! Respawn deserves ALL of the money for what they have created, and having this game on as many platforms as possible will help these uber-creative developers give us better experiences going forward. If MS decides to split the difference and keep it exclusive, so be it, but to wish other gamers to miss out on something this special is absurdly immature. I'm ashamed of being lumped in with those of you that think this way.

bryam19824491d ago

an xbox almost launch game whit the.resolution of a ps3 launch game (warhawk)lol thats a 7 year old game i cant believe people pay 500$ to play an last gen graphics on a new gen console lol anericans!

UnHoly_One4490d ago (Edited 4490d ago )

So just because two games are 720p they have the same graphics?

That's incredibly moronic.

So Warhawk looked better than The Last of Us, then?

Because that's what you are saying. lol

ITPython4491d ago

MS should have stuck with Xbox 720, although they probably gave that name up just in case a game was able to run at 1080p at some point during the consoles lifespan.

indyman77774491d ago

ROFLMAO! You just discovered WHY Microsoft dropped the name xbox720 ahead of time. They didnt want people to say: "err der let's buy an xbox 720p! It's next gen! DO DO DO!

gigoran4490d ago

Such a true and dedicated fanboy you are XiSasukeUchiha. Willing to fight tooth and nail to defend against comments that bring up good points like "next gen and running at 720p?" and "they can add bots using the power of the cloud but not a decent enough player count?"

Wake up. Love microsoft as much as you want, but defending a garbage game is still defending garbage.

otherZinc4490d ago

XBOX ONE has Titanfall, PS4 doesn't.

xICHIGOx4490d ago

Who cares everyone have a PC that can run the source engine even better than the x1 lol

DigitalRaptor4490d ago

So Xbone has 'Call of Duty with mechs and vertical manoeuvring', and PS4 doesn't? Okay...

PS4 has Planetside 2 - the more ambitious, larger-scale, 2000-player, persistent, free-to-play MMOFPS - and Xbone doesn't.

thexmanone4490d ago

@DigitalRaptor

Plantside 2 is not all that. I have it on the pc and you will be bored with it in a week.

Christopher4490d ago

The whole console war aside....

Final Titanfall will surely be at least 900p on XBO. With the upscaler, it will look more than good enough.

Sure higher resolution is nice, but gameplay is the king. Sad times on n4g, where only thing that matters for people who call themselves "gamers" is render resolution.

3-4-54490d ago

If I owned an XB1, all I would care about is if the game was fun, if it ran smooth and if it was different enough to make me want to play it over other FPS games.

Graphics matter, but only so much. I've been playing a lot of DS & PSP games lately that are really really good games. Do they have console like graphics? Nope, but they are really fun quality games.

Even if this isn't reliable ,why would they drop the textures resolution for Alpha ?

Is there any Respawn developper here to explain it to me ?

Sammy7774491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

the game is lightning fast which is the only probable reason. If you are a resolution fan , play on your PC.

Also the game has 35 AI characters . I think the game wouldn't have run at 1080p on PS4 too .between 900p and 1080p perhaps

AI routines chunk up your CPU power. Since the next gen systems have underpowered CPU, the routines rely on the stream processors of the GPU. Unlike PS4, Xbox One already has a much inferior GPU and you have this huge problem with resolution since some GPU resources could be allocated to AI

nategrigs4491d ago

I don't understand why the AI take up so many resources. Didn't Gears horde mode and Halos (dont remember the name: waves of enemies) have AI? Isn't this pretty much the same thing?

Play2Win4491d ago

Sammy you're developing for ps4? Cod runs 1080p on ps4 too and 720p on bone. But I don't care. I Play on PC

FlunkinMonkey4491d ago

What a baseless comment.. KZ:SF's graphics make this game look a turd and it runs crisply at 1080p (just like the majority of PS4 games).

The hardware is inadequate.

Sammy7774491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

@Garaunimo
Ofcourse the game would have run at a higher resolution on PS4 since it is much more powerful , but i am saying that it could have run somewhere between 900p and 1080p on PS4. I am saying this since a third party developer might not go the extra mile to get the full power out of PS4

I do think this alpha thing is just BS. If people find out that the game isnt running well at this point than they might cancel their preorders or not buy the game at launch. I think the developers are just coming up with this BS in order to not lose any sale

@Monkey
I know Killzone looks much better than any Xbox One game. I am just saying that i doubt whether the developer could have gone the extra mile

AceBlazer134491d ago

sprinterboy4491d ago

Thought the cloud did the ai?

imt5584491d ago

Yeah! The Planetside 2 has 2000 players and is a heavy CPU eater. Guess what? 1080p on PS4 with ultra details just like on PC ( and 2000 players of course ).

Titanfall not 1080p possible on PS4 because of dat 35 A.I.? Sure!

Ju4490d ago

AI isn't running on GPUs.

gigoran4490d ago

@Sammy777 If it was on ps4 it would have been 1080p and replacing the AI player count with ACTUAL REAL players!

RevXM4490d ago (Edited 4490d ago )

The AI should be pretty much not using any resources at all because supposedly the cloud is taking care of that. So the AI should be a non factor if the game makes it to the ps4.

N4G is the last place you'll find developers.

Texture resolution has a big impact on filesize. If the game has tons of high-res texture data, dropping the texture resolution will make the filesize for the alpha build a lot more manageable.

LogicStomper4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

But I thought N4G was full with game developers/engineers/expert analysts/ businessmen/stock holders/game store managers/friends with insiders/business strategists/software engineers/computer engineers and unbiased gamers ?

Woops,I forgot the ergonomics guy, professional game/console reviewers, expert fan-placement person, marketer, accountants and lastly, Sony fans that all bought Xbox Ones and all found it sucked.

jb2274491d ago

I was wondering the same thing, wouldn't it be important at this point to have the alpha as representative of the final build as possible, since this is testing done to weed out any bugs? Seems like if they are trying to get a read on gameplay alone that this should've been done a long time ago, the game is releasing in less than 2 months, and resolutions and textures would add to any system strain that could potentially create bugs I would assume. In this day & age, especially for a mp only game like Titanfall, testing should be a long process, otherwise early adopters are the ones left dealing w/ the bugs. I'm sorry but I'm not into paying a premium in order to essentially be a qa tester. It's also kinda strange that there hasn't been a single bit of info released about the 360 version, the one that will obviously be selling the most copies. Unless they start a marketing ramp up w/ the 2 games separate and clearly indicated as such, then they are essentially tricking the general buying public into buying a game based on the promise of a completely different one.
