Xbox 360 Titanfall delayed again but it's out now.

Yeah, I think if there's one problem with Titanfall, its the lack of making the player feel like they're playing towards something. New player models, weapon camos, weapon attachments, and maybe even armor attachments for your Titan would go a long way in adding a sense of depth to the proceedings.

On the other hand, the game play is fantastic, and I wouldn't change a thing about it. So ultimately my gripes are purely cosmetic, but I do think they would add something tangible to the overall enjoyment for many people, not to mention add to the games longevity.

If I had to take a stab at why TF doesn't look next gen or have all the bells and whistles like CoD and BF4 is probably due to timing. Looking back, CoD 4 was bare bones too.

The head guys made the studio in early 2010 after getting banished from Activision. It probably took them till the end of 2010 to get the studio nicely up and running with staff and having the foundation of the game laid out. That leaves about 3 years and a bit to finish the game on 360, X1 and PC.

They also said they chose Source due to it's familiarity. And it's probably cheap too compared to paying for UE or some other fancy engine. I'm no tech whiz, but when it comes to whiz bang visuals, even I know Source is never brought up.

So as the studios first game, it's currently bare bones compared to the established shooters, but a solid first game. A game that will be played for freshness and gameplay over visuals and customization or bells and whistles.
 
I've played them both(rented the xbox 360 version)

believe me, the difference is pretty drastic in person, however the 360 version is still a good game and plays very well. I went from playing the xb1 version for a week straight, right to playing the 360 version same day.
 
If you would have never played TF on X1 then the 360 would be superb.

Where as it's a good port, looks the part, it's way slower paced on the 360
 
When a COD game releases my friends list is full of people playing it. Haven't seen any of my friends playing TF on the 360 yet. Probably doesn't help they refuse to release it digitally.

Not feasable, since it uses the hard drive and the disk drive in tandem, like the first Halos and GTA 5.

You can buy them digitally. Dont they wait 2 weeks on 360 before releasing retails games digitally?

No, Bluepoint/Respawn says it's not going to happen. The hard drive needs to be free to do it's thing silmultaneously with the disk drive running the game at the same time. It can't do that if it's running the digital game, too. It's how they got Titanfall to work on the the 360. The same technique was used to make GTA 5 so awesome. Bungie pioneered the tech on consoles back on the original Xbox 12 years ago. It's why there is no install option for Titanfall 360.

Yeah but you can buy digital versions of GTAV and Halo 3 on the 360.

Neither are a faithful immulation of a next-gen game running on a last gen console. Apparently, for the game to run in an acceptable, playable form, it has to run parallel on the hard drive and disk drive. As I said before, it's why there is no install to hard drive option for the game on the 360.

I agree completely. The game shoudl have been $40.
 
So now it's a bad thing that the 360 version turned out so well?? Just waiting for all the naysayers to come back to this thread, claiming the Xbox 360 version will be either canceled, or is so bad that they were afraid to promote it.

Nice to see that it not only exceeds DF's expectations, but it's selling like hot cakes too.
