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.

    • MakeMKV 1.18.4 Beta

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault 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. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
