"...the gameplay can become quite boring pretty quickly."
Doesn't stop people buying Halo every time.
It's made on the Source engine.
An engine made by Valve (PC rules mkay) SPECIFICALLY to run on a wide variety of hardware, both weak and powerful. Perfect optimization. Half Life 2 would run on very old PCs very well.
It's no surprise it's easy to get high detail (ish) on the 360 with Titanfall.
And it's hardly a pretty game anyway.
And yet Amazon is still around £10 cheaper.
Good game, not amazing.
It's short, and has absolutely no replay value once you finish it for the inevitable opposite run of karma.
There's nothing to do once you finish it.
Us PC players are laughing our asses off at this news.
You couldn't make up more rubbish.
To get DX12 to run you need a DX12 enabled card. And there isn't even one available for the PC yet.
How will the Xbox One's aged card from 2010-ish get DOUBLE the power?
This is such a load of rubbish. PCs can't do this. So consoles sure as HELL can't.
How?
The only reason games got better on last gen, was because, in the PS3's case, it was hard to code for. So in time they learned new techniques.
Now, this generation of consoles have PC architecture, and are essentially small PCs. The knowledge for coding for PC has been around for a decade.
I don't see console games getting MUCH better looking.
Of course it was PC footage.
This.
I've yet to play a game where I was worried about the specs that DIDN'T run extremely well at max settings on my PC.
The specs rarely reflect what is ACTUALLY needed to max the game. It's usually far less required.
...because it's so easy to platinum.
Short game, small map, only needs 2 playthroughs, no MP. Easy.
Can't even do papertrail 1. Doesn't connect.
What a joke.
What's this crap about PCs and PC games being expensive?
Fanboys refuse to accept that the game is kinda boring after one playthrough, with a short story and small map.
But hey, it's "pretty". It's alright. Prettier games out there for sure.
Every Direct X increase has come at the cost of a requirement for increased hardware power.
PC users have had to deal with this by buying more powerful cards every time since DX9 changed.
If the Xbox is struggling with DX11, DX12 will destroy it, not increase its' power for god sake.
You also need a DX# enabled card to even run it, and I'm pretty sure the Xbox card is DX11 only.
Careful.
Some console owners might buy it as it "smooths" their gameplay...
God that made me laugh when I read a guy with a PS4 bought a 144hz monitor for it.
Go Dark Souls.
Glad to see it selling well. The only game out this year that feels unique, and does something different.
And I find it funny that Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls, AN EXPANSION, sold more than almost all of these 5 games combined, over 2 million during it's first week.
So much for PC gaming being dead and all...
The new consoles are based on PC architecture, with 10+ years of coding knowledge available to get the best out of the hardware right NOW.
I fail to see how the PS4 or Xbox One can get "better over time" when it's easier to develop for than the PS3 was, which DID require time to learn how to develop for.
Now, it's super "easy" for them.
Surely the only reason they would get "better" games in time is beca...
PC gamers have had to deal with shoddy PC ports for the past 5 or so years, and it's disgusting.
Deus Ex Human Revolution was successful, even though 1/3rd of the game leaked online as a press version.
In fact, it was successful BECAUSE it was leaked, as everyone thought it would be a shoddy PC port.
Another PC game ruined by consoles.
But for once, it wasn't. They had a seperate team developing the PC version, and i...
Oh grow up and go play your precious Titanfall nonsense.
To me, this is to make it look more visually impressive using a cheap technique.
Wet surfaces make things look better looking in games.
Look at Seattle in Infamous. Crysis in the rain. Always better in the wet.
Nothing but a ploy to make you think the game looks better than it does.
Oculus Rift and any for of VR is as big of a gimmick as 3D.
A cash-in nobdoy really cares about or wanted.
