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.

      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.
