Considering TItanfall is running on the Source engine, I'm not concerned about the PC port, especially since Respawn is doing it themselves (unlike the 360 version). I don't get why some PC gamers here are so negative about it being a multiplat game, I'm quite sure the game will play just fine on a gamepad on PC, and play just as good on keyboard and mouse on PC.

 

The engine doesn't make for a good port though. Then all the UE game ports would have been excellent, which... isn't the case.

True - in fact, I have been pleasantly surprised that DCUO is as good as it is, as most multiplatform titles using the same engine (if not most GAMES using that engine) have been awful-to-abysmal.

True, but Source has a much better track record on PC than most engines. I mean HL2 etc will run on decade old machines :)

Not one who's big into custom controllers myself (sooner or later whatever game it's designed for is going to get old and such) but yea, this is one of the better ones in my opinion.  Probably doesn't help my opinion that I don't care for consoles and waiting for the PC version of Titanfall though.

It's apparently going to be a very limited closed beta test. I find it odd that a month ago they were calling the game an alpha and now a limited beta test and a release in little more than a month.

 

I hope the game is actually finished. So many shooters in the last year or two have turned out pretty bad when they shouldn't have.

 

I think I might hold off on buying it until I read some reviews and if it has all the pc graphic preferences a modern game should have. Specifically a fov option.

The term "beta" lost all of it's true meaning last generation. It's just another demo these days. The real testing goes on behind closed doors at Respawn.

 

Without a doubt the game will launch with issues.

Yeah, I have hopes but also lots of doubts. On the other hand it's using the source engine which is tried and true and probably pretty easy to work with at this point so who knows how it'll go.

I am just not sold on it for my own personal gaming habits, the largest one being is I really do not play much MP at all these days, so would love to somehow be able to check out this beta to see if it makes me decide to get back into that world again or not. So will sign up when they allow people to do so and see if I somehow get lucky.

Seems the sign up site is open now.  But I can't get onto titanfall.com to check. 

 

Edit: Sign site is here: http://www.titanfall.com/beta

 

No idea if alpha testers get a free spot or not.

 

Edit 2: There's also this..

 

Completing this registration does not guarantee access into the Titanfall Beta as seats are limited. If you have been selected you will be emailed directly by EA with instructions on how to access the game no later than 11:59 PM PST on Feb 17th.
Origin Account required for PC Beta.

 

No word on what their criteria for being selected is though. If it's not first come first served then I'm not sure why they waited the entire day to open the site.

 

Edit 3: As far as Alpha testers go..they say this: We can't even acknowledge your existence, the alpha was top secret!

 

Not sure how to quote tweets.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
