Titanfall 2 Confirmed, Coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC

 

By Luke KarmaliRespawn founder and CEO Vince Zampella has confirmed Titanfall 2 is in development and will be released on multiple platforms.

 

Speaking to IGN ahead of tonight's BAFTA Game Awards, Zampella, whose title is nominated in three categories, acknowledged the game's existence for the first time.

 

"I guess EA announced a sequel, so I could play coy and pretend I don't know anything about it, or

I guess it's good that it'll have a bigger audience this time around, but the first game didn't live up to the hype. I was really excited about it but was disappointed. It could have been much better.

 

If they add an actual story to the game, that would be a start.

So anything in this article that's actually news?  A guy mentioning a game we already knew was going to more platforms is news now?  Yeesh.

 

Yeah that's what I thought, it was already known that Titanfall was going to come to both Xbox and PS4 next time around. 

 

Here's the link from the article last time around. 

 

Had a great start but I quickly found myself playing it less and less.

I guess we'll see if the cloud really makes a difference when two platforms run the game now.

 

Did you not see the sub text? The cloud enhancements will be removed to ensure parity between the platforms ;)

:p

 

Proof will be in the pudding, if the game can do everything of the first and more it doesn't matter how PR handle such questions.

To much of the original was still in development and DLC when it was released, if you could have downloaded what the game is now on release day I think it would have done a lot better. Hope they won't make the same mistake again... who am I kidding, it's getting worse, I'm looking at you EVOLVE.  :|

I don't think we're ever going to move away from the additional maps as DLC.

 

You'd think that all the extra modes/changes they made to the game over time will make it into the game from day one.

They can use the same cloud on other platforms. It is just cheaper+easier to use on Xbox. ;)

 

That I could happily agree with if it's true (probably is). It's claims of technical advantages I watch with a close eye.

But being an experienced Gamer you should know that a game that was pushed out not long after launch compared to a game that is written a year or two down the line will be completely different regardless of other factors. Games get better over time when a dev gets used to the environment they are working with.

 

Secondly we all know the PS4 is the more powerful console, if it can do what the XB1 did a few months after launch without "the cloud" then well done, but I really would not expect any shocked faces, that's just the nature of evolution and the benefit of having a more powerful system to start with.

 

So does this really have to turn into a "the cloud is a sham" thread? Be happy that the world of exclusives just took a tumble without having to (imo) stoke the fires of those who do believe MS will be able to bring their console to higher places into a topic for no real reason other than to get a reaction.

The technical performance of the physical hardware isn't in question here, it's what can be done with the cloud. If the same benefits of the cloud can be experienced equally over two different platforms then that will further reinforce the cloud isn't something you lay claims to as an exclusive benefit.

 

The cloud was also never a sham, what was said of it arguably was. Matchmaking, servers and all of the online components are what it's being used for.

 

Titanfall just happens to be one of the poster boys for the cloud claims, so yeah, it will be interesting to see how a multiplatform Titan fall goes. It's easy to say a title can only be done on this platform when it's an exclusive.

Isn't it a technical advantage if PS4 doesn't have support built into its SDK like XDK does?

If you are referring to the usual cloud bashing "but this won't close the perf. gap in GPU", Titanfall never claimed as such and not sure if this is the right topic for it..

Ok let me put it another way - I don't think this is the thread to discuss that as it will only derail into those who think it makes a difference and those who do not.

I can't speak much about the PS4 SDK as I simply do not know. But the good thing about the SDK is it is everchanging. I would have thought with support for Gaikai/PSNow it has some sort of framework. Either way as I've said it makes a multiplatform Titanfall interesting to see if it can be done equally as good.

For those who have not played TF, trust when I tell you this.  It is the smoothest MP game to date.

 

Rather someone jumps in or drops out of a game,no lag cheat or anything.

 

There is no MP game out that tops TF to date.

 

This is not a biased statement.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      By Copernic · Posted

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
