As opposed to "Xbox One footage"...
Doubtless cleaned up/PC, but that is the standard disclaimer. It would say the same if it were XBOne footage.

Oh like smash brothers
Way to take someone's quotes out of context.
You can say what you like about me, I really don't care but here's the truth:
1) I enjoyed the beta but am worried by the lack of official info about what's on the disc
2) I'm completely honest in everything I write, if I do review Titanfall it'll be a completely unbiased review, I've no reason to hate any game despite what fanboys think
3) I've think the fact that I 'm a journalist who works for a retailer and am expressing my fears proves how honest I am, I'm sure my boss would rather I praise every game but that is not me
4) anyone who follows me on twitter knows I like to joke around a lot, so I make the odd comment in the heat of the moment, so what? Who doesn't, I'm pretty sure I could go through gaf and burn everyone.
I'm happy that I'm 100 percent honest, I've no fears as to my integrity, anyone who asks me to review a game or give my opinion on one will get nothing but the truth. You may not like my opinion but that's not gonna stop me from giving it.
K so im about to pre order on PC whats my best option? I'd prefer to do a preload so I can play at midnight if possible!
AFAIK there aren't any deals for it. I just pre-ordered directly through Origin, and pre-loading goes up in 2 days.

"In-Game footage representative of Xbox One gameplay"
There is not much to take out of context, the train of thought it quite clear with those posts and the overall context of most of your other replies confirm your preference. There is nothing wrong with a preference, but the contraditionary comments are very misleadingfrom questioning the hype to flip-flopping stance on the game to look relevant in Titanfall threads.Way to take someone's quotes out of context.

I see this transforming into some sort of console war picture lol but that does look badass
Well, their marketing is doing a pretty piss-poor job of conveying that. From the trailers I've seen it's mostly just parkour, jetpacks, giant robots, company, parkour, giant robots. Also, let's be serious here, people are gonna play the game for the spectacle of double jumping from a wallrun, landing on an enemy's Titan and destroying it, not for whatever story they have laid out for it.
Then why lie about your opinion? Say in your impressions that you dislike it, then later say you like it in an attempt to gain credibility?

Questioning value is always a good debate to have, but when you obnoxiously have a different non-related agenda within that discussion its annoying. Youre not helping a customer understanding by bringing thinly veiled console war into the debate. As someone who keeps questioning other journalist in this industry for being paid, you are exactly doing what you advocate that is destroying this industry but for free. Should EA and Respawn be more upfront about the content of this game? Of course, nobody is debating that they should not, but somehow you think nobody else wants it and everybody is mindless sheep. Its disgusting seeing this backhanded logic being used, and on top of it you are a games journalist.
Maybe because I was on the fence at first and unsure what was so special about it. Or maybe I was just in a bad mood, who knows. Like I say I'm not a shooter fan, but I'm allowed to change my mind, unless there is some unwritten gaf rule that your* not.
Enjoy the game and don't forget to take a break. I'm done with this thread, because I've got better things to do with my time. Let's just hope you all get your value for money and if anyone actually has a negative opinion then good luck to you.
If that's Xbox footage then the March update/SDK or whatever is a beast
Just because I don't think the game is the second coming like everyone here does, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the gameplay. Like I say I enjoyed playing, but there is nothing special about it IMO at all.
You're a damn journalist for goodness sake.Like I say I'm not a shooter fan, but I'm allowed to change my mind, unless there is some unwritten gaf rule that your not.
Then why bother harping on it to no end? What purpose does that serve?

The difference will be that their opinion will be formed from actually experiencing the game; instead of a bias against a console exclusive.
The trailer says it is. Anything else is playing semantics through wordplay to fit an argument or flat out calling the devs liars.
Because Titanfall is not the most important game ever made. Don't be daft.Why must it be hyperbole? Why can't it be legit praise?
Yeah have fun. That still doesn't make it the most important game ever made.After playing both the alpha and the beta I can absolutely agree with a lot of what has been said. The game is bloody fun in my opinion. And apparently a lot of others here agrees with me.
Well I guess you just have to deal with me saying that about the vast majority of first-person shooters.And personally I would say that referring to Titanfall as just "a FPS where you shoot dudes" is very close to downplay it. You are at least oversimplifying it.
So COD respawned a clone called TitanFall.

No one is saying titanfall is the most important game ever. The reason it's getting all this hype and praise is because for the first time in years were getting a "new" shooter.Because Titanfall is not the most important game ever made. Don't be daft.
It's yet another variant of the FPS. It didn't invent anything.
If I don't consider Doom the most important game ever made, then Titanfall certainly isn't.

There are like 3 games that can claim that title and if you're not genre-defining, you're not even up for consideration.
Yes TheVerge did. It was also used in MS promotions, because it's such a juicy quote.No one is saying titanfall is the most important game ever. The reason it's getting all this hype and praise is because for the first time in years were getting a "new" shooter.
I'm glad that we're getting a much quicker high budget console FPS because the modern military shooter stuff is stale as fuck now.Ever since these guys made mw1 almost every fps has been extremely similar to it so we've been kinda playing the same game for years. Titanfall with the movement, parkour and the mechs just feels new, fresh and fun.
If I had a doge coin for every time I heard that.
It was 6.30am when I replied, I'm also human.

Is that a chicken or the grass pokemon from Gen2?
It's a penis isn't it?

What else would Titanfall possibly qualify for? It will not be the biggest seller ever. It will not expand the audience the way Wii Sports did.I didn't say it was innovative, nor did The Verge.
Personally I like to judge the importance of a product based on it's impact on the market and on the industry.
There is no golden rule that important = innovation.
Don't be silly.
MS PR said:We’re just getting started. Our team couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming launch of “Titanfall,” which is exclusive to Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Recently called the “most important game in years,” a “game changer” and “system seller,” “Titanfall” has been heralded for its “spectacular action,” termed a “ridiculously good looking game,” and the “most exciting shooter in years.” For people who haven’t purchased Xbox One, we believe “Titanfall” will be the energizer to launch a new generation of gameplay.
I also consider Doom a very important game. Guess why I consider it that way, certainly not because it was hyped pre-release based on half an hour of E3 gameplay on one map but because it stood the test of time. And I said you shouldn't be daft to miss the obvious hyperbole around this game and why people laugh at it.I consider Doom a very important game for our industry.
But the fuck do I know. I'm daft, right?
Have fun with it.If it's the game that I have the must fun with ever, then it will be the most important game for me.
See my reply regarding Doom. I personally don't count Battlefield.I'm fine with you having your own standards for what is important games for you. We all got different criteria.
I however think it's laughable that some would not acknowledge the importance and impact of games like Counter-Strike, Halo, Battlefield and Call of Duty for our industry, just because they are about "shooting dudes".
I'm saying Titanfall could join this list, not saying it will, but it has in my opinion the potential.
So COD respawned a clone called TitanFall.
