You think that is rediculous?  That's not even the highest numbers :laugh:

 

I really dont get why next gen console games are so freaking huge compared to pc games.  Is there a legitament reason?

 

Those were PC numbers. I thought it was 20 GB on X1? How many discs is it on 360 now I think about it? And isn't Ghosts the largest install so far from the "next gen" games at 40 GB?

 

48 GB for a MP only game is a joke though, especially all things considered. It probably dashes any hopes of 1080 on X1 if the game is more than twice the size on PC with high res textures. And if they do intend to patch it, is the patch really going to double the size or more? Jeez louise (N) Lots of ifs and buts so we'll need to wait and see :P

Oh your right, I didnt realize that was the pc figure.

But there are ps4/xb1 games that hit 40+GB in size. NBA2K14 is one of the largest games so far at 44GB. So Titanfall at 48GB would certainly be possible on the X1 space wise.

So why are these games so large? Then referring to Titanfall, why is it 48GB on pc? PC games have not been this big until very recently, basiclaly when the new consoles came out. What's the deal.

Max Payne 3 was 30, RAGE was 25 before that and then of course Ghosts the most recent at 40 GB. Titanfall on PC is 48 GB apparently due to the texture size. And sure X1 and PS4 can accommodate these game install sizes, but it's not ideal considering the paltry HDDs in them.

I would say various different sizes of textures would play a big role in the increased PC size, XONE 720 and 1080 only now? PC gamers can play on way higher settings than that so lots of pre sized textures for low/med/high/ultra users :p

If it really is just due to texture packs, then those must be some pretty darn good textures.

But to be honest i don't understand all the fuss around this game. Looks like a standard shooter with a mech twist to me. Nothing bad about this though.

 

I'm going to agree it does look like a fun game though, fast paced action.

 

But I think the excitement over it is mainly due to Xbox being dependent on recycling their old franchises of Forza, Fable, Gears and Halo.. This is something new that actually looks pretty good, so it seems people are overly excited about it. I'll personally probably get it for PC cause I don't like playing FPS on controllers, but its not a title I want right now.. Maybe a few weeks after it released if people still think its a good game and is something that has replay-ability.

Oh don't get me wrong i played the beta and it is a fun multiplayer shooter. I'll definately grab it on pc next fall if people are still playing it (backlog is too big right now). I just think some people see it bigger than it really is. I don't think it is the next Halo 2.

If people played the beta and think its a good game or a big deal, then what is there to argue with?

You may not find it very interesting, but its very clear that some are really excited after playing the beta.

I think this is just another example of different gaming tastes showing up. Some people can't stand COD, while some can't get enough of it. Titanfall has some of the same 'feel' of the earlier COD games and that is really resonating with many gamers.

People are excited about it after playing the beta, so its more about personal preference I think.

I do however agree that gamers are hungry for new IP and more content on the next gen systems since both have been lacking so far.

I am seeing a pattern where it seems gamers that have not been a fan of COD are more likely to say that the game is not a big deal and if they have enjoyed COD in the past, they are more excited for his game. I have no idea where you fall in that, but there seems to be a lot of people that fall to one side or another.

The reason why I got really excited after the Beta is because the game is just fun to play. In COD, if you are not good, you'll get killed a lot by campers on the window, campers on the roof, or those who just can shoot better

Same with Battlefield.. game isn't fun when the team aren't working together

 

With Titanfall, it's just.. fun. Maybe a mixture of bots + online players help. And being in the Titan killing players, etc. It's a perception of you are achieving something, you are killing someone, being a badazz. Rather than a few rounds of dying, and dying (yeah I suck)

And these are the quarter-res textures right?  :D  :rolleyes:

Battlefield 4 for PC isn't even that large:

While we keep getting games like Forza, Fable, Gear, Halo, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, Killzone and Infamous recycled, that happens because the gamers are buying it and asking for it. But at the same time, we also keep getting new IP's.

 

Titanfall isn't popular just because it's not Halo. It's popular because it goes back to what good gaming has always been about. No frills....head over heals non stop action and fun.

Titanfall is just as popular on the PC - which is NOT usually the case with multiplatform games, and especially shooters.

 

Titanfall is popular on the PC because of what it isn't - not only is it NOT BF4 or CoD, it's not a typical "mech" game (such as Hawken); it's also not World of Tanks.

 

I said it during the beta, and I make the point again - Titanfall is unique in a way that a shooter (regardless of platform) hasn't been in years.

 

That it's multiplatform is icing.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
