Titanfall: Xbox One vs PC graphics comparison

I just want to point something out here. Titanfalll is running on the Source engine. SOURCE ENGINE. This is the SAME engine that powers Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, half-Life, Portal, DOTA, etc. etc. It debuted in 2004 with Half-Life 2. Needless to say, it's old. 

I'll just get right to it. Here's what's wrong with the Xbox One version:
1) Everything is darker (why that is, is beyond me)
2) Overall textures are worse than PC, although not by much 
3) Jagginess everywhere. It's a freaking Source game. COULD YOU NOT HAVE ENABLED VSYNC???
4) Titanfall for the Xbox One runs at 792p (that's just a little above 720p). AGAIN, IT'S A SOURCE GAME, HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU NOT HAVE GONE 1080P?

Either way, Respawn did say that the Xbox One version of Titanfall is more than likely getting a resolution bump. Why they didn't do that in the first place is beyond me.

Even with the resolution bump, the game will still only be at 900p (1600x900). Again, why the Xbox One version won't run Titanfall at 1080p is beyond me. The Xbox One easily could. Easily. Why? IT'S A SOURCE GAME.

This is a quote from Richard Baker, lead engineer of TitanFall

 

"We've been experimenting with making it higher and lower. One of the big tricks is how much ESRAM we're going to use, so we're thinking of not using hardware MSAA and instead using FXAA to make it so we don't have to have this larger render target,"

 

"A lot of the performance is on the GPU side. There's still room for optimisation and we're still working on it," Baker commented. "Ideally it would have been a rock-solid 60 all the time when we shipped but obviously when there's big fights going on, lots of particle effects, lots of physics objects... we're still working to condense the systems, make them more parallel so we can hit 60 all the time, ideally."

 

Theres more updates coming including an upgraded resolution. For all that check out the article.

I forgot titanfall was using source, even my pos laptop can run source games in 1080P

I'll give them a pass on that then. My other points still stand.

3 and 4 will be corrected or at least improved on. 1, and 2 - maybe

Source is an engine. Just because a game is powered by Source doesn't mean that it will have the same kind of stuff as other Source games. This applies to every other game engine ever.

sorry wat

ok well the resolution part of it is ahrd to compare as it is split screen it does show it sized up but you cant tell too much since they are not side by side so in this situation you cant compare resolution however the xbnox one does a look a bit jaggy because of the resolution but if you were to compare these in real life then im sure the jaggedness would be more clear. the pc textures look more detailed but not a huge difference. in conclusion i think the xbox one is close to the pc one but not quite up to scratch (mind you this leaving out resolution as a variable)

The textures inside the titan were really bad on both PC and xboxone. I even noticed this when i played the beta on PC.

In beta I didn't think the textures were all that good on PC tbh

[AlexGoesHigh]

well its source but the poly count is far to greater compared to other source games also they made a lot of tweaks to the engine and like he stated titan battles do drops the frame playing on demeter i got from 50 to 30 fps in a sec in a 2v2 carnage but its a bloody well made game, 30 feels playable but its almost a dead sentence while running as a pilot luckily it only dips on titans

i'm sure they made that on purpose to avoid performance hits since you only watch those for 2 seconds

That's not the point. I'm not going to be immersed in the game if I notice the shitty textures. If I set the graphics options to high, it means that my hardware is good enough to deal with it and shouldn't be a problem.
