How come all the impressions or the main thread isn't just spammed with these type of problems? Are gamers really that eager to overlook problems?
GiantBomb: Titanfall Quick Look is Live

- Start date
How is it that some streams out there have no hitching or freezes like that? Outlier case?
You're banned, but I'll respond. I think it's actually a mix of two things...and neither would help on the PS4.
1. Needs more polish/patching
2. CPU performance limit
I'm sure they'll be patching like crazy.

I'm playing it at 1080p 60 fps with adaptive vsync and max AF 4xAA and it rarely tears. When it does, though, it does it in the strangest places like inside a building or out in the open, in both situations away from battle. So it could probably use some optimizations.

Yeah, recorded that earlier on my XBO:
Giant Bomb wasn't exaggerating with the single digit fps. The game definitely needs some polish. (It's still awesome, tons of fun, everybody should buy it, yadada)
Please tell me thats the GIF slowing down and not the actual game.

They had 3 so far (that I've seen), one which caused the game to lockup. Not saying it's the worst thing ever, it's just how these things always go.

Wow that GIF is giving me skyrim flashbacks on ps3.

Isn't there an entire review thread this belongs in? I'm confused. Oh well. Game looks good.

They might not be experiencing them? I only played 3 maps last night (no campaign) and didn't have fps issues and tearing. The servers were rock solid too. I'm curious to see tonight if the issues are with the campaign maps.
Why would this go in the review thread?

I actually thought my gif was still loading... than it looped. Holy shit.

Oh, Giant Bomb is having issues. I haven't experienced that yet. Most people I talked to haven't had server issues since the first hour or so last night.
The servers are flawless. As I said, the tearing and fps issues are the same as in the beta, so there is nothing dramatically new about that. And that slowdown was definitely a bug.
I think that it's just not characteristic of gameplay. I saw it happen randomly once during maybe two-and-a-half hours worth of livestreams last night, I think it's a bug. Continuing watching the quicklook here, it's not super common.

Honestly, they are. One of my friends is clearly overlooking some of the stuff thats wrong with the game. I was arguing with him about content wise, the game is disappointing...especially for 60 bucks.
The campaign is laughably bad. It's identical to the regular multiplayer stuff. Identical. Respawn pretty much just wanted to be able to say that had a campaign mode. It makes sense why they never showed it off before.
Also, the game is pretty badly optimized. A lot of people with good set ups are having major frame rate drops and some other graphical issues. It's all just getting drowned out by everyone else jacking off to the game though.
The games really fun. I've sunk in a good amount of time in it already. But the game is not without its faults.
Flawless is being very generous. I was booted from the PC servers before I could finish the training mode this morning.
Outlets can notice all sorts of things. They don't have to report on them.

This is good to hear, then. I had little issue with the tearing in the beta (and I hate tearing with a passion generally). I wonder if some issues have anything to do with the Twitch update. My console was a mess until I uninstalled and reinstalled Twitch after deleting the save data. My games were crashing to desktop and some didn't even show up until I reinstalled and hard booted my console.
When many reviewers say they can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p, what makes you think they'd notice some frame drops or screen tearing?
I kind of wish the PC version had more bonkers visual options.
During my relatively short playtime, I had a <30ms ping and no problems. Definitely better than what I experienced with EA servers in, say, PvZ:GW
It's not game-breaking, but it is definitely disappointing. The "regular" framerate dips are my main complaint, though. Some maps do indeed seem to cause more problems than others.
FPS drops and screen tearing are more apparent?

PC version coming up.
Some thoughts on the X1 version. Tearing is shocking, there also seems to be quite unoptimised with regards to menus, glitches like the moonwalking titan, the tearing, and the frame-rate, which towards the end of the X1 stream seemed to take a nosedive after he exited the titan to activate the turret,

I have played the Xbox one version for at least 7 -10 hours and have had no of these issues. I do see the occasional screen tear though.

If it is anything like the Beta (I won't have my copy of the final version until this evening so I cannot comment on that) the major frame rate issues are few and infrequent. In fact, this is summarized by many reviewers. In my experience with the Beta, I didn't notice any tearing or frame rate issues. Granted, I'm sure there was some, but that should give you an indication on how much it affected my game play.

Holy crap!
What the hell could be causing that? I noticed the frame-rate took a dive during the last titan standing mode in the QL but there's literally nothing going on in the gif. Could it be a bug or some loading issue causing it become a slide-show?

really curious if the issues are due to launch day networking woes, or other factors?

So they're going to increase the resolution any day now huh?

It did as they started playing, but it's okay for me now.
PC version looks noticeable better, but goddamn at those trees. Wow...

I think raising or lowering the resolution wouldn't really change what is happening in that gif.
