It doesn't look too impressive from a graphical standpoint but the gameplay looks tight. And that's what matters to me the most. Sure, pretty graphics are nice but it isn't enough to have fun. I'm looking forward to it but I don't know which version to get (PC or Xbox One).

 

Whichever you prefer to play FPS titles on.

 

Any recommendations on where to preorder TItanfall for Xbox One?  I noticed I can preorder on Origin's website.  Do they send you an actual copy of the game?  Or is it a download on the xbox one?

 

Your local game store or digital download.

I thought it was said that those that are Origin members are getting the first shot at the alpha and that you will receive an email directing you to a page to join.I am registered there, but I haven't received any email yet, so it may be a small group right now.

You had to register even if you didn't get the email. I didn't get the email and it worked without a problem. Got a code

So.. an EA game and they actually specify as alpha? After BF4....GOOD LUCK WITH THAT BUDDY! LOL

No Titanfall is not an EA game. It's just simply being published by them. BF4 is actually an EA game, ie. one made by a studio they own. EA has nothing at all to do with Respawn Entertainment (makers of Titanfall), outside of being their publisher.

Oh thank god, I was worried there for a moment.

That looks pretty damn complete for Alpha code, Apart from the bad loading times (1:15sec is REALLY bad) the game itself looked pretty average in FPS view, infact it reminded me of Killzone Shadow Fall with the post apocalyptic slums look. The Titans were cool, they played nicely, but I guess I was hoping for a more 'Mechwarrior' style of Mecha, instead it looks like its still FPS, but the gun is now bigger. That to me was disappointing. 

Looks like XB1 owners will be getting a quality game though :)

Uhhh, Did respawn officially call this an alpha?  From what I saw them tweet it's just a closed limited test.  Either way the game looks close to finished, this test is probably for network balance and other gameplay balance.  As far as the titans go, we just saw one in the video but I know for sure they have at least 3 types you can pick and they play different.  Those who wanted a more slower type of mecha game play out of this then you haven't been following along closely. It was always going to have a fast pace to it, they'll also have some type of objective based story going on though.

The only Mech game that currently gives you the "feeling" of being in a huge heavy mech is MWO. the other ones are just high speed acrobatic action games that happens to (sometimes) occur in a big mech skin.

Looks pretty good, reminds me of PlanetSide 2 in regards to the futuristic theme and graphics. The graphics aren't the best but the gameplay should make up for it hopefully. I was worried when they said it was going to be 3x3 servers only but the AI 'Grunts' fill up the large map so it looks fast paced and wont just be walking around aimlessly trying to find someone to kill.

 

TitanFall (PC Version) is being released 13 March 2014.

Honestly if you are okay with the controller I'd say go with the Xbox One version, purely because I imagine MS will try and push that version as the best one, you know

As for pre-ordering, Origin will be digital download on PC only, but your local Gamestop should be taking pre-orders for all formats.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      "to in-game content custom-made for the brands" Which EA will turn around and charge customers extra for in an attempt to double dip.

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24

      By Copernic · Posted

      NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit. NirLauncher Features: NirLauncher can be used from USB flash drive without need of any installation. NirLauncher and all the utilities in the package are completely freeware, without any Spyware/Adware/Malware. This package doesn't contain any 3-party software, toolbars, Web browser plugins, or other unwanted surprises. It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package. NirLauncher allows you generate plugin files for BartPE (Launcher -> Generate BartPE Plugin Files), so you can easily use the utilities of NirSoft from a bootable live windows CD. Additional packages (Piriform, SysInternals...) and instructions are available on the Nirlauncher download page. Note: This zip file below is password-protected.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By MikeK13 · Posted

      What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By WaltC · Posted

      How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
