On the titan page, where the titans have abilities with names like Shield Wall, Gun Shield, Fire Shield, etc. Like, in case it's not obvious: the designers moved the shields from a universal omni-directional always-on bodyshield with a short cooldown into a more skill-based Titan ability relying on tactics and positioning. I frankly like the idea. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Oct 25, 2016 |

Don't see anything there, all the footage I've seen that Frothy has posted playing as Ronin, Tone, Scorch, etc has no recharging shields and all the reviews mention a major change from TF1 being "no recharging shields".

You can see the Titans throw up their Vortex Shields and whatnot in every video. I don't know what to tell you. They removed the omni-directional bodyshields, yes. That's not the same thing as "removing the Titans shields". I'm sorry that I didn't communicate that effectively.

Just a simple misunderstanding, but in reality all the titans were given some form of active defensive measure. Or at least the breakdown seems to be an offensive, defensive, and utilitarian ability.

That's cool they actually changed things from the beta considering most modern shooters use betas as glorified demos and don't actually look at any feedback from the beta.

Ok, I've got to bite here: Gameplay feedback is available from a multitude of sources (generally whether you want it or not) True data (full pipeline) on the performance of stressed services is only available from public tests (well, also launch, but that's not a great time to discover things). Hence the purpose of betas is not primarily to collect gameplay feedback but rather to see how your backend performs when a whole bunch of players hit it at once as well as to collect telemetry on such areas as matchmaking and progression so you can fine tune settings in those areas. I know people like to think they are special individual snowflakes but honestly they are more useful in bulk :-)

Exactly, every beta people complain about gameplay but it doesn't get changed by the developers because it's not what they're doing the beta for, the beta build is the final build. That's why is surprising they actually changed things.

Good point. I guess it's possible there was an internal back and forth going on, so both options were available with relatively little overhead? Dammit, I'm just thinking about this stuff because I can't play and I want to play. Let me play :-P

Yeah they changed a lot between the first and second week, although I found both weeks incredibly fun personally the second week was a big improvement. Personally I think it will be a very good game but if you hated the beta i dunno if I'd recommend it. They definitely listened to complaints though. I seem to be an outsider in that I never played the first game and don't have any comparisons to make but most of the stuff people have complained about doesn't sound better to me. I also thought 2/3 maps were really good which I seem to be in the minority on.

runchild posted:Combination of both. I think a lot of the negative reaction to the tech test was people instinctively lashing out at anything different. There are still some holdouts who think 3rd person animations or no Titan shields are dealbreakers, but most people have come to accept the changes. On top of that, the changes made after the first weekend (movement adjustments, titan timers) and the reveals of things missing from the tech test (attrition) have rendered a lot of the original concerns obsolete. Plus all the new stuff revealed since then and the date getting closer and closer have naturally increased the hype levels.

Insert name here posted:I also really want 1st person animations but that's more an aesthetic thing and lol if it's a dealbreaker that stops you from wanting to play the game. Oh yeah, I love the aesthetic of the consistent first person camera in TF1, and was sad to see it go. But I also understand that the cosmetic customization would lose a lot of it's oomph without third person, and that's especially important when they're taking a risk with free maps and banking on cosmetic DLC instead. And we would have missed out on the Grand Theft Semi-Auto execution without third person so it's an okay trade-off in my book. I doubt it's really gonna stop anyone from getting the game, but it sure isn't gonna stop them from whining about it on r/Titanfall. Megaman's Jockstrap posted:FrostyOmen has said that there is AI in Attrition, Bounty Hunt, and "1 or 2 other modes" but doesn't remember which ones. I'm reasonably certain AI only appears in those two modes. Frothy must have been having a brain fart if he said that.

So I watched that polygon gameplay video...and honestly I'm more baffled by the fact that, well, every reviewer seemed to be playing it like it was CoD when they were pilots, except for the one streamer account I saw actually making use of the wallruns when they could. Like Polygon's 7 I can at least understand from a "I think you were just bad at the game" viewpoint, I'm far more confused by the people who just played it like it was CoD and go "yeah this brings some innovation to the table, 8/9 out of 10!", I mean it seems like you would have to actually make use of those innovations before you can say that unless one just really likes titan play to the point of not caring about how pilots play. I know the answer to this conundrum is "gaming journalism is a joke" fake edit: As far as I know the only cross-game thing they're doing is with BF1 and the red baron skin, they haven't announced anything re: TF1 ownership up till now.
