Titanfall doesn't need graphical improvements. It needs more fun gameplay.

I was bored after 4-5 matches of the Demo/Beta. I was really excited to play this too so I felt kind of let down.

It's a good game, but it's not as fun as I thought it would be, at least for me personally.

I'm sure people are out there having the time of their life with this game. This is going to be somebody's favorite game of all time.

Titanfall 2 has great potential, but I don't think people are going to be wanting Titanfall 2 too look amazing, rather they want it to play amazing.

More fun gameplay? Titanfall is the most fun I've had in an FPS game since Quake 3. If you don't think Titanfall is fun, I don't think there is anything they can do to it that will get you to change your mind.

Kornholic4465d ago

My thoughts exactly. And it does need graphical improvements, not gameplay improvements. Titanfall is very addictive.

Hicken4465d ago

They could add more content and game modes.

PoodlePuncher4465d ago

Same here. Was really excited for this game but was pretty let down, especially given that Battlefield 4 is such a mess. I don't know what it is, but I just get bored with this game.

3-4-54465d ago

It's just my opinion. My opinion does NOT = fact.

It just felt like it was missing something. I don't know what exactly, but I was really excited to play, and then I played and I was just kind of let down a bit.

It wasn't all the new or fresh or exciting to me, and it was kind of easy.

I'm glad people are having a great time with it, it's not a terrible game or anything, It's just not for me.

will i finally get atleast 60fps at 1080p with 2 770's in sli now??

Volkama4465d ago

Just disable one of them. Job done.

2pacalypsenow4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

I shouldn't have to , I spent over 600 dollars for the video cards if PC gaming is so mighty why should I have to do that for a game with avg graphics to run smooth ?

GentlemenRUs4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

Looking at 2pacalypsenow's comment... I now understand to why I hate the PC Elitists...

Dark_Vendetta4465d ago

Everyone knows SLI/Crossfire often causes problems. It's mostly not worth it especially because of bad drivers.
Also if you would have read the article you'd know SLI support will be added.
But as Volkama already stated: 1x 770 is more than enough to achieve 60 fps 1080p

Flavor4465d ago

Just run it on one, you will get 60+ frames maxed out

bobacdigital4465d ago

I have no issues with running titan fall maxed out on my machine... i5 2500k @ 4.3, 8 gigs ram, and a gtx 680 4 gig... Game runs like butter completely maxed out at 1080 and the only slow downs are on one or two maps but not that big an issue.. I am assuming when the game is patched it will run even better. Most the issues people are seeing are from Video cards with only 1.5 gigs of memory and jacking the texture quality to insane.

The issue I have with the game is that the games go by TOOO fast .. I feel like once you are behind on killing minions and pilots / titans you can never place in the top 3... Like it is a damn race against the clock. I feel like you spend more time in the lobby waiting for the next game than actually maneuvering your titan...

Kornholic4465d ago

A game with graphics like Titanfall shouldn't require as much RAM from the video card as it does currently. Battlefield 4 manages with less video card RAM and is visually lightyears ahead of Titanfall. As much as I like Titanfall, I feel it could've been optimized better.

Dark_Vendetta4465d ago

I agree, it most likely could. But I think they just thought it's not worth it, as they only got a very small team and it would delay the game way too long.
In my opinion it's not really that much of a problem as most graphic cards (even old ones) would be able to play the game. Of course not the highest setting, but still ok looking

Kornholic4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

@Dark_Vendetta

You are right. I'm playing Titanfall with an old rig.

Textures: Medium
Anti-aliasing: Nope
V-Sync: Nope
Details max, shadows low
720p resolution
I get a smooth 60fps.

The thing what bothers me the most is that even with High textures, you get no significant visual upgrade, yet the performance suffers tremendously. The graphical leap from Medium textures to Insane textures is marginal at best.

bobacdigital4464d ago

I think for respawn their main focus was getting the game out when msft needed it and patching it along the way to be better optimized over time.

Flavor4465d ago

Try pilot hunter. You can really take your time and play tactically, even use sniper rifles. Try it on Nexus map, its like hunting wabbits with titans as bloodhounds.

pompombrum4465d ago

I'm all for this but anti cheat system and private lobbies should be prioritized at this point.

Veteran artist behind Mass Effect, Halo, and Overwatch 2 weighs in on Nvidia DLSS 5

Darryl Linington from Notebookchect.net writes, "The backlash around Nvidia’s AI push and DLSS 5 has opened a broader question in game development. Beyond performance and image quality, veteran artists are now weighing what AI-driven rendering means for authorship and visual control. If a system can add or reinterpret detail after the fact, the issue is no longer just technical. It becomes a question of how much of the final image still belongs to the people who built it."

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Frame Gen 5x & 6x Come to RTX 50 Series GPUs + Dynamic Multi Frame Gen

The latest GeForce driver introduces DLSS 4.5 Multi Frame Generation 5x and 6x alongside Dynamic Multi Frame Generation to RTX 50-series GPUs. The former increases the number of interpolated frames to 4 and 5 (between every two rendered frames), further reducing reliance on the CPU.

Big corp bowing down to another big corp is nothing more than helping each other. But try any games it doesn't work

Smellsforfree70d ago

I don't mind frame gen but only use it if I'm already >70fps without it. It is kinda nice but if I see any visual artifacts I will turn it off. Whenever I'm playing games on my 120Hz LG C3 I will almost never use it because frame rates >120fps look really bad. I think spatial super sampling is a far more interesting and beneficial tech than frame gen. Boosting 30fps to 60fps with framegen is just garbage.

SimpleDad70d ago

Tvs were doing this 15 years ago with their telenovela effect... Idk how anyone can play with this on.

There is definitely input lag there and artifacts.

CornholioX69d ago

It's commercial how they show it. Typical any company does that.

Goodguy0170d ago (Edited 70d ago )

Frame gen just has too much latency and visual glitches for me, don't think I can ever use it for most games. I'd compare with it on and off and it's a world of difference in the feel. I need the very least input lag in my gaming. Companies should rely on actual optimization. As for potato hardware, I suppose it could have it's use.

Is the AI Push in AAA Gaming Giving Indie Developers A Golden Ticket?

WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "With the advent of NVIDIA's DLSS 5 tools, and the whole debacle surrounding AI usage in AAA gaming, is this new push an opportunity for smaller studios to showcase they are the ones vouching for artistic integrity in the gaming industry?"

They already are. Indie studios are the only developers that constantly strive to publish innovative and experimental experiences. There has been little to no art in AAA gaming, with just a few exceptions.

Yi-Long80d ago

Indie-studios have been showcasing their creative superiority and bravery over AAA-studios/releases for a while now.

Personally. I have zero interest in AI slop in any of my entertainment, so regardless of what Sony, Ubisoft, MS, EA, etc believe the future is, I'm just not gonna touch any of that stuff.

blacktiger80d ago

Everything you said but for me MS is always the problem.

isarai_lee80d ago

One more thing in a long list of things that already give indie Games an advantage

Miacosa80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

In reality a dev having a simplistic tech statck does not really impact the end user experience. If the game is good and worth playing is what matters. In other words some cooks make care if 2 or 3 eggs were used to make a cake but the person eating it doesn't. And in the case of DLSS 5 the chef is soley responsible for the recipe and how its mixed together.
