No it's for the life of the game, think it gives you 3 map/weapon packs in total. Saves you a small amount from purchasing separately. Of course this will be on top of the free updates that should also be coming. 

 

I'm really loving the game, so I think I'll be picking it up. I managed to use a bunch of vouchers on the game itself so only paid ?26 for the game. 

 

That's pretty decent. I was thinking for the year was a good price!

 

I managed to pick the game up for ?30 so that's a great price.

So what's so good about Titanfall anyway? Am I missing something?

 

Its great fun, I personally haven't bought it but I played the beta and now my friends copy over a few days and I intend on getting it when the price drops. It is multiplayer only so I'm looking for ~$30 but yes it is great fun.

side note: Plants v Zombies Garden Warfare is awesome! You guys really should check that out. & BF4 Naval Strike likely next next! So much shooter action, so much EA. All enjoyable.

 

This is what i want to see. As stiff a competition as possible.

 

I'm expecting second son to push the PS4 backup, a nice constant bouncing around will be great for the consumer.

Titanfall Adding 4K Support on PC

And the resolution winner is...

by Dustin J. Seibert

It looks like the PC version of Titanfall will end up the undisputed winner of the resolution battle by a wide margin, as Nvidia is collaborating with developer Respawn Entertainment to make the PC version 4K-compatible.
 

Nvidia announced the arrangement today, which includes plans to add support for temporal anti-aliasing (TXAA), a technique that reduces the crawling and flickering effects seen in many games. It will also work to add Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion+ (HBAO+), designed to add more detailed and realistic shadows around objects in the game.

 

All that tech speak essentially amounts to a game that will look absolutely gorgeous when played on high-end machines.

 

Titanfall was released March 11 on PC and Xbox One. The Xbox 360 version was met with another delay this week as its developer, Bluepoint Games, is apparently working to get the game as close to the quality of its higher-powered peers as possible.

Please - it looks gorgeous merely at 1080p now.

 

PC Gamer US took it for a spin on their silly-end Large Pixel Collider - they have an MPEG4 vidcap of some of the results on their site.

 

One issue I have found with watching 1080p video from YouTube (either on the site itself or downloaded from there) is the effect of lossy compression  - not blaming Google; it's part of the penalty phase of video hosting for the masses.  Therefore, download the MPEG-4 directly from PC Gamer - not YouTube.

As far as i know it actually is. The biggest games i have on my PC take in the 25GB. And we are talking about MMOs here with big world and lot of content. Most of the AAA games installed on my PC takes around 15GB and they look as good and even better than Titanfall. As far as the sound effects go Titanfall did not sound any better than the other games to me.

 

Battlefield 4 is 30-35GB. 

Max Payne 3, Rage, The Secret World and BF4 are all around 35GB.  Dunno about Elder Scrolls Onlines final ver, but it was pretty close.

 

I want to know what they're doing next, but I gotta say so far I'd rather just keep playing the campaign mode than any of the other modes (even knowing the other ones have more maps.)

The matchmaking in Titanfall is truly perhaps the worst in any game I've ever played. Does it even exist? I played one CTF game today where my team capped it three times (the limit in a half) within about a minute and a half. Then I just quit out of a game where it was me and five low-ranked players (rank 15 or less) against a team of generation 6 players. The other team had about 20 kills each, whereas my teammates had about 2 kills a piece, if that. What the hell kind of balance is that?

I only saw anything like that on the first day I had the game.  Weird.

They're apparently rolling out a patch this weekend that contains a ton of balancing fixes so hopefully that helps (saw it on major nelsons twitter).

I don't think it has any matchmaking fixes, based on the patch notes. They have said they're aware of the issue and will fix it, however.

I am on Xbox One and I haven't had any matchmaking issues. I am matched with people that are multiple gens and ones that are just new to Titanfall. However, the games are never one sided. I have beat multiple gen people, they have beat me, i have beat new entrants, and they have beat me.

 

I don't know if Xbox One has Truskill matchmaking like Xbox 360 does, or if TF has their own system.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
