You can probably mitigate this as a player by running to a corner, crouching and looking at the ground for the duration of the match.
The BOAT is the GOAT.
I really wish this was coming out this week on the 360. Can't figure out what to get as my second game on Gamefly.

Could be very very rare. Either way, we'd expect a solid 60 at all times at the very LEAST.

All of the sources we've heard from say it looks good. That's kinda nebulous though.
But the one thing the 360 version has going for it is that it's on a console that's been refined over a long period of time. Devs know how to use the 360 to its full potential, and they also know its limits. The X1 is so new, it's not surprising if Respawn had difficulty developing for it. I'm sure they'll push out patches over time that will help refine that experience.
Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the situation was similar to that.
Direct screencaps from the XB1 version. 792p upscaled to 1080p.
Sounds next gen to me.

Good on GiantBomb. There's no rush to be part of the review thread hype for an online only game that can't be properly reviewed until real world servers are live.

Very unfortunate news.
Hopefully they can fix the framerate drops in a patch, though I'm only assuming that sort of thing is possible.

This. To be honest though, people are giving it way too hard a time for the graphics in general. Yeah the textures may not be the greatest, and FPS drops suck, but you'd be hard pressed to find a game with more going on in such tight spaces. With so much going on, frame rate is key, so if 720p is what it takes to make that happen then I would say it's worth it.
Then again, my comp ran the beta on max at 1080p/60 without issue, so my main gripes about the frame rate would go to the Xbox One and it's underpowered hardware.

Not if it's what I experienced in the beta. Is was single digit hitching for about 2-3 seconds. Maybe mechs were running around outside while I was entering a room of Grunts or something. I still don't think it's much of an issue, though, and with the incoming possible res bump, I'm guessing other optimizations may happen.
Well Jeff does say that if the game launches well then it'll probably get a 4 out of 5 even with the frame rate issues. I'm much more interested in the reaction from GAF in general when it launches. I expect to see many GIFs.

I encountered single digit situations in the beta. Never for a long time though, but it definitely happened.
That does not excuse it from not running smoothly and without tearing. It even makes devs look worse.
The possible resolution upgrade wouldn't be a performance improvement, though, only a different trade-off between resolution and AA, so it remains to be seen how much potential the game still has. In any case, I'd love it if they manage to eliminate the tearing.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing it for this performance at this resolution and with this level of detail. I'm just saying I can see why this isn't exactly "THE" Xbox One game it should've been.

Whoa whoa. I'm only trying to err on the side of caution, giving Respawn the benefit of the doubt. According to GB's story, there are a few technical issues, but they don't appear to over ride everything else that's good about the game. I'm just going by my gut that maybe this isn't as big a deal as people may think. Maybe.
Doesn't excuse it from being a next-gen title still dipping in the single digits. Skyrim for PS3 just made baby seals cry

I wonder why this isn't being mentioned in other reviews.

Yeah, Jeff essentially reviewed it without officially giving it a score. Titanfall will get a 4/5 from him unless it has significant server problems, in which case he'll give it a lesser score.

If it's a big deal to you, there are ways you can evade it.
Play where it's uncompromised.
If you give money to them for a console version you are saying "yes I am okay with this, continue please". You have only yourself to blame if it continues and you bought it on consoles.
Another story blown out of proportion IMHOP.
I played the Beta on my PC and X1 and I had 1 scene that was clearly a Bug in the code as I ejected from my titan the framerate dropped to single and then lasted for about 5-6 seconds and then went back again.
This happened only ONCE during my about 9 hours on the beta playing so I think a little hyperbole is in play here me thinks!

No, happened in the beeta. For like three seconds then it fixed itself back up
Polygon mentioned it.

the word of some reviewers who do this for their job, one of whom I trust very much, and plenty of other people who were in the beta, or junior neogaf member r_deckard
hmmmmmmm
who should i listen to
or i could just wait like 12 hours and let everyone find out for themselves
"No, no, don't worry guys that was a beta, we'll be fixing that right up don't worry go ahead and preorder."

I don't disagree with that. I'm not even getting this game. It's got nothing to do with the reviews, however.

They had to squeeze in that extra 72p.
I'm actually very surprised here. the game graphics don't look anything special, with few character count running on not big maps and with low resolution. so this game having framerate issue at all is really a shock to me.

You have a huge exclusive release at the start of a new gen. Hyperbole will happen.

I'll make a ]new buzz acronym: SDFR - Single Digit Frame Rate
"Experience Titanfall in 792p SDFR!"
Single digit frame rate does not fall into the "polish" category. "Polish" is just minor touch ups that aren't critical for the final experience / judgement of a game. SDFR is detrimental to gameplay as well as visual presentation.
No game in any genre should have SDFR.
I learned Titanfall has colossal dino alien things though. That's cool. Giants are always a plus in my book.

Maybe the cloud servers were running hot from all that advanced artificial intelligence.
LOL - this is how many people will be leveling up their pilots early on - just camp a "bot spot" and watch the XP pile up.
So only buy absolutely perfect games?
I mean, definitely seems like PC version is gonna be the best, obviously, but if somebody has got a console and maybe some friends to play with, I don't think this would be worth boycotting over.
Its not gonna be a very good way of levelling up. Its not like they just keep spawning and spawning over and over.
It is pointless to review an online-only game this close to launch. No one would dream of reviewing an MMO this close to launch. Why would anyone think this is different?
No review of an online-only game can be trusted until at least 1-2 weeks after launch. Good on the outlets (like GB) who are more circumspect.
