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.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area   
    • memories! completely forgot about alcohol 120%!!!! man this list just makes me think of all the exciting times! everything's become so sterilized these days.
