Looks like TiFa2 is the casualty of the three FPS games out this quarter. It sold less than half of what TiFa1 did on X1/360. https://www.chart-track.co.uk/?i=2543&s=1111

 

Not sure what EA were thinking by putting it up against BF1. BF1 has not only outsold BF4 and BFH combined week 1 sales, but experiencing great second week sales for the series.

Probably that delaying it three to six months when it's done just loses more money and puts it up against other titles everyone wants.  I'm not confident that the UK market reflects the global market, but I'm sure we'll find out eventually.  Since it's an EA Partners game IIRC rather than a direct EA game they may or may not talk about it.

 

Personally, BF1 can go find a nearby dumpster fire to jump in while I play Titanfall 2. =)

I don't know.  I haven't been paying attention to the release schedules lately, I don't know when anything is coming out past this point.

 

All I know is generally the run up to Christmas is where everyone wants to be.

Only two FPS I can see are Dead Island 2 and Prey. The former is in development hell and possibly cancelled.

 

Looks like delaying it would have been the better choice IMO.

 

Regardless of the quality of Tifa2 (I've read that they turned it around after the terrible beta), it seems to have flopped in the UK. Even Skyrim SE beat it :|

I was under the impression Crackdown, Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Destiny 2 were early next year for action/FPS/FPRPG, but I couldn't really say.

Crackdown and Mass Effect are 3rd person, and Destiny isn't even officially announced, but I'm sure it will arrive in time for Xmas 2017.

Either way if they sell as well as I expect them to they're all competition, and that was only off the top of my head...there are undoubtedly some I missed, especially since I don't follow Sony at all.

I checked the release calendar and those were all I could see, which I mentioned before. Either way, what's done is done.

 

Titanfall 2 release date couldn't be changed, producer says

You can have your doom and gloom and you can eat it too.

Quote

Jorgensen did not divulge sales numbers for Titanfall 2, released this past Friday. Analysts predicted doom and gloom over the weekend, but Jorgensen came across as optimistic when he said that EA will partner with Respawn on Titanfall games for "many years to come."

I'm very happy. The single player campaign has a lot of work in it. The feel of movement, the variety and detail of the maps... even the sounds are spot on. Guns sound right. And there are TONS of guns.

 

I have two main complaints; the campaign is pretty linear, and there is a lack of local games with bots or survival game modes.

I'm only playing it in the daytime so far (hey I have a great sound system) but I love it.  Don't intend to pick up multi until after the campaign.

 

It's kind of a surprise the variety of it all, and how different a lot of the environments are so far.  I'm not sure what I was expecting I suppose but definitely interesting.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

[Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
