they're called O'Neill cylinders

Weirdly enough they're much better ideas for space colonization than the planets, since you can insure total control over the gravity and environment. Maybe a little less romantic, but it hurts my soul to know that O'Neill was hoping we'd have a small test colony in place in the late 80s, poor guy.

Look at the "sky" at the end of the MP trailer when they grapple the other pilot.

So how about those new rodeo mechanics
>No longer will your on-foot pilot hop up on top of the enemy Titan and empty lead into its brain after mashing the X button to pry off its protective covering
>Instead, you’ll drop a grenade down a hole in the top of the enemy mech and walk away with a battery.
>rodeos are no longer quick pilot-on-Titan kills. Instead, the reworked mechanic encourages teamwork by making it so that the extracted battery can be given to a friendly Titan to heal it or power it up.

>>145617930
>After mashing the X button
They added a fucking QTE? This just gets better and better.

i just started playing yesterday, whats the best loadout for a noob

>>145618276

>>145618430

>>145618451
I dont think IGN know what they are talking about
The 'press X' qte was to eject, rodeoing the titan was automatic, all you had to do was wait until the pilot pulled the panel off and shoot it yourself

When you get the hang of the movement, try the SMGS or the shotgun and the stim kit. If you have good aim, you can exchange the carbine for any of the other rifles.

Have fun.

>>145618615
I'm not saying the post is factually correct; I'm saying that the sentence "No longer will your on-foot pilot hop up on top of the enemy Titan and empty lead into its brain after mashing the X button to pry off its protective covering" implies that in some previous iteration there was a QTE to remove armor, and said QTE is gone now. Which is weird, since rodeoing was automatic.

I think the author of the article was mistaking how you eject vs how you rodeo.

Who's /playing/ right now?

This isn't about winning or losing, that wasn't even my post. This is about glitches and other "meta" shit that obviously wasn't intended or tested for in the game, that confers a direct and immediate advantage over other players. It makes the game less fun for the people who either don't know how or refuse to use it. Alternatively, if everyone used it, it would just bring the pace of the game to a crawl because damage would be so hard to dish out.

Replayed the campaign for nostalgia, and I just noticed something. The militia attack Demeter as it will "prevent quick access to IMC reinforcements." This makes literally no sense for 1 of 3 reasons.

1. If Demeter is on the "frontier side" of explored space, how does this prevent the IMC for getting there? Why would lack of fuel matter if they already arrived at their destination anyway? Wouldn't the IMC have more than enough resources in the core systems to simply make the jump there and construct a new station?

2. If Demeter is on the "Earth side" of explored space, wouldn't that leave the Militia forces stranded in IMC territory? Where would they acquire enough fuel to make a jump back if it is absolutely required to refuel before making the jump? And they would be in not only IMC, but Earth governed space, where slaughtering potentially millions of innocent people would result in hasty recompense?

3. If Demeter is in some kind of mid way point between the "Earth side" and "frontier side" then again, how would the Militia get back to the frontier if refueling is required at that station to make it to the frontier in the first place?

Also, how could the Militia still be in fighting shape after committing their entire force to attacking Demeter, in what would result in massive losses for them, but comparatively minor losses to the IMC's military?
Why would Graves hold denying evac against Spyglass if McAllen did literally the same thing?
How does Graves reconcile the fact that the Militia committed an act of undeniable terrorism and destruction while the IMC only took action in defense?
Why would Graves hold using the Spectres against the IMC when he himself used Spectres in all of the operations leading up to Demeter?
If the Militia is composed of pirates and mercenaries as well as civilian forces, what would stop them from simply attempting a take over of the Frontier once the looming threat of the IMC is gone?
Why does the Militia drink so much piss?

>Why would Graves hold using the Spectres against the IMC when he himself used Spectres in all of the operations leading up to Demeter
I have a follow-up question. Why do the militia claim to have the high ground regarding this? Didn't they use Spectres the entire time as well? Even if they stole them, they're still using robotic forces just as the IMC does.
If the militia just stopped the war there would be no need for all of these battles. Even if the militia claims that the IMC is slaughtering civilians, which is highly unlikely for a company whose main goal is profits and mining, aren't they causing more death and civilian casualties by constantly choosing to fight in populated areas such as Fracture, Angel City, and whatever map the second campaign mission was on.
It feels like the story was written backwards where the battles were created first and they tried to justify why the two forces were fighting there later.

>>145671969
Militia are terrorist. They will always say they are fighting for the freedom and shit but at the end they just want control over rich planets.
Also all those deposit of piss to drink.

This is most likely the case.The story was probably shaped in response to the outcry over the lack of a campaign mode. Most of the special entrances in the campaign are probably just cut assets (the IMC drop pod opening for Demeter was likely just a standard opening they cut for taking too long etc.) with a quick voice over slapped over standard arena gameplay. All of the gameplay events still happen in classic playlists as well, there's no way of knowing if those came before or after the plot, but my guess is before.

>1.
It's a choke / jump off point. The IMC need to get to it, to get to the other planets; the other planets are too far to jump too from the IMC side.

>2.
It's not on the Earths side as in, they're physically by Earth. They're just Earth / IMC affiliated instead of Militia

>3.
They'd be stuck, or have to carry reserves, or steal some fuel before or as they escape. It is weird though, they sort of didn't think this through.

>losses
It'd be major for them and minor for the IMC, but the IMC cannot send reinforcements at all, for years, which is huge. They've basically taken most of the IMC out of play, even at a great cost, it's still better than a pyrric victory or loss.

>Graves evac
Because Spyglass was an asshole and a robot, McAllen is his fuck buddy. More seriously, I think McAllen did it because if they lost this, the Militia was done. Spyglass didnt evacuate even when they were losing because he didn't care about the forces, but also couldn't afford to lose. His lack of compassion looked ugly to Graves

>graves spectres
The IMC probably told him to, or assigned them under his command. Or forces him to use them. He is probably being a hypocrite though, or the war was much larger than shown and spectres were used everywhere all the time.

>Militia take over
There isn't anything that could stop them aside from each other. Maybe they will explore that in the sequel. But even that risk was preferable than continued IMC rule, apparently, to the militias commanders eyes

>piss
Because they're dirty poorfags or regular fags

>1,2,&3
I didn't realize Demeter had a canon position in the galaxy, but as you said
>they sort of didn't think this through
That's my entire point really. There is no way the attack on Demeter could have worked without more or less exhausting, stranding, or destroying most of the Militia fleet. I can't imagine how the IMC is on a "defensive footing" when all the Militia forces would likely be at 25% combat effectiveness from that point on.
>for years
That's the kicker though. The IMC can warp to Demeter, rebuild it in a year or two, and be back in the frontier in force. Given that the "air support around Demeter is bigger than all the Militia fleets combined." I can only imagine the bulk of IMC forces dwarf the Militia by a factor of 5 or more. All they did was give the IMC a reason to commit more forces to fighting them, give them a very valid justification for future attacks, and delay the inevitable by a few years.
>evac
The problem with this is that McAllen's words, verbatim, are "don't bother with evac, there's no time" this is literally the same justification as Spyglass. This decision is also objectively the best.
>but that risk was preferable to continued IMC rule
I really don't see how either violent anarchy or local warlord dictatorships would be better. But, it's their choice I guess.

>>145701630 #
The only explanation I can think of Demeter's position without being just flat out retarded would be

Demeter might be just within Earths reach, fuel wise, while to the colonies it's off the next exit

For some reason it takes them a long time, longer than 2 years. I think I have to research the intro trailer, it might mention it

>evac
Oh. Then graves is just a fag for preferring one over the other. Or maybe he actually does hate robutts

Here's my problem though, if the Militia has enough fuel to make the jump to and from from demeter, what's to stop IMC ships from simply going where they get some fuel and getting some for themselves? If they could make the jump to the Demeter system, why couldn't they just get a few tugs/tankers and go to the next nearest station?

>>145708246
Demeter was to stop the core systems from sending a fuckhueg army to stomp the milita.
With Demeter gone the fight is only in the core systems against the militia + whatever guys are left of the IMC
The IMC could technically rebuild in Demeter but they'd have to fight off the Militia again, which would be a clusterfuck

GameSpot interview with Todd McFarlane

Of the many product tie-ins McFarlane Toys has been involved with, Titanfall sounds like the ideal product line. It’s a popular and young brand but it’s not so huge that it warrants the attention of the bigger toy companies. Owner and self professed 55-year-old boy, Todd McFarlane sounds excited to work on Respawn’s series. Below you can find an interview with McFarlane as we discussed the challenges of securing contracts with popular franchises and what it’s like to work on a property as it starts to produce sequels.

Gamespot: You weren’t involved in the first Titanfall, correct?

Todd McFarlane: No, I wasn’t. I was a big fan of the company that was making it because I like the second syllable of their name, ‘spawn’.

So who approached who?

I think we were knocking on their door. Looking at Titanfall from a distance, I was thinking, “Wow, I’m a boy and there’s three things that boys like: monsters, dinosaurs, robots. It’s in our DNA.” By the time we approached them, the game had launched and it was a while before the second game was going to come. From a retail standpoint, it’s a little difficult to come in between games because stores aren’t nearly as interested. We knew that a sequel would have a wider variety of mechs. From my selfish, toy-obsessed viewpoint, that’s awesome if I can have different geometry in the mechs and the costumes given all the customizing in the new game. It’s good for my business.

That brings to mind your artistic roots and how you’ve been very at home with being a businessman as well. And you understand the cyclical nature of producing merchandise in between a property’s sequels.

>>145776000

Yeah, sometimes you deal with shy licensors that don’t want to show you everything. But since we already had the deal in place, we could at least dip into the first Titanfall’s designs. The thing I love about the deep customization of Titanfall 2 is that it allows me to come out with unlimited custom paint jobs. Say if I made 30,000 green mechs, I might make 3000 in white, 300 in black, and 30 in purple. Then I’ll threaten to go over to the factory and paint three of them myself or even just paint one and that’ll be the “golden ticket” figure.

On that note, what’s your philosophy on variants?

Don’t force the consumer to buy more figures to determine if there is a variant. I want you to know immediately if you’re looking at a variant, being able to see it with your own eyes. So even when we’re doing signatures with athletes, you can see the signatures. I know it’s frustrating when stockboys take the variants before they end up on the shelves but people still email me saying how happy they are that they can find a Brett Favre figure with a real signature in an Oklahoma Wal-Mart and it was the same $9.99 price as the regular version.

So you’re not a fan of blind boxes, we assume?

No, because it forces you to buy in a way that might stick you with the same three figures and you might never get what you really want. To me there’s no perfect solution. But if you can’t find the variant, we’re still making a lot of the A-version that people should be buying anyway.

>>145776098
Are you a big fan of the convention-exclusive variants?

We don’t do a lot of those anymore. Here’s what the variants do for you, though: because you may have a two year spread in between games, you’re trying to find ways to have the brand still resonate either at retail or in the secondary market. You can potentially get some buzz on the secondary market, like when someone buys a figure for $10 and then sells it for a $500. God bless them. I don’t care. I think that’s part of the fun. It keeps people talking about the product. They’ll then start asking about the next wave from that toy line.

Are you and EA on the same page in sustaining that brand presence?

It’s one of the questions when we go through the door in just trying to create a contract. We ask, “What’s your schedule? How often do you think you’re gonna put out a game? How often will DLC come out?” What’s the biorhythm here? One of the things that was happening when we were doing Halo was that there were big gaps in between releases. We just wanted a bit more content. It wasn’t like Call of Duty where you can count on a new game every year. It’s hard to sustain brand presence when you’re coming out with a game every three years.

Now that you’re involved with Titanfall, are you part of the game’s creative process in any capacity?

No, but I am doing some art for them in a capacity that they’re going to unveil later. It’s more in the form of fun additions. They’ve got lots of talent, but if a Titanfall 3 happens and they want me to design one of the mechs, I’m cool with that.

>>145776228
Was it important for you to depict the mechs with 1 to 1 accuracy or did you exert some creative liberties?

There are two things about that. One is that we wanted to depict the pilots at a decent size so you can see their details. When you see stuff moving really fast in a game, you don’t see yourself stop and study the details. The fun part of having a toy is so you can see those things. We wanted to show off all that cool design that Respawn came up with. But it’s also a game where these pilots jump into these giant mechs, so how do we do that? We’re going to have to scale down the mech so it can fit in a reasonably sized box at a $30 price tag. I’m not a fan of pushing things to $100. We’ll have the 7-inch scale pilot, then we’ll have a 12-inch mech and we’ll throw in a small scaled down pilot. We’re currently trying to find out how to put the pilot into the mech’s chamber without breaking the bank.

Given your experience with other companies’ IPs, was there anything about working on Titanfall that surprised you?

From a selfish point of view from a toymaker, the one thing that we’re looking for is for game companies to keep refreshing things visually. We’re putting these cool plastic goods in a windowed box and it can be tough going back to a single well over and over again like with Master Chief. There weren’t any huge variations when him. When Respawn told us about all the pilot types and all the mechs that would be in Titanfall 2, I said, “That’s it! That’s what we always hope for. Now you’re talking toys.” The more silhouettes, the better. You don’t want people to feel like they’re buying the same things over and over again.

So it’s never intimidating when you end up with a lot of characters to choose from?

>>145776342
No! My best day is when I have too many options. It’s better than picking the top two characters in a series over and over since no one cares about the third and fourth ranked characters. When there’s a wide breadth of visuals, that’s when I can go to the retailers and tell them that I can bring toys from this line to you over the next three or four years before things drain out. I should hope that will work out for Titanfall. By the time we’re out of designs for Titanfall 2, hopefully a Titanfall 3 will be ready.

You must’ve been relieved when Bungie announced that Halo: Reach would feature an ensemble cast.

Oh yeah! I thought, “Wow!”. Before that we were mixing and matching the same figures with the helmet, shoulder, and chest pieces. Many video games do that. I thought Bungie bringing out all those characters was perfect. Video game publishers are starting to get more sophisticated with their licensing programs and they now know how to deal with people like myself that they have to create that variety. It’s easier to sell The Avengers than it is to sell Spider-Man.

You must find a lot of value in these press conferences when you learn about new properties.

>>145776468
Yeah. Sometimes a publisher I have a relationship with will announce something and I’m like, “What!? You didn’t tell us that!”. You do get surprised and now you’re in pursuit mode. Yet sometimes one of the things that works well is to not having product out right at the start of an IP, but having the IP come out, get its footing, grow its fanbase, and then the fanbase begins to ask, ‘How come there aren’t any ancillary products?’ If there were a bunch of toys ready right when the first episode of The Simpsons came out, it wouldn’t have sold because people didn’t really know the show. Sometimes it’s best to let IPs bake themselves into the consciousness of the customer.

That also speaks to trusting your own hunch that a new IP will do well.

The struggle for a small company like mine is that when a new IP blows up, the big boys come in and they drop a bunch of money for the contract and you lose the property. I have to do this delicate dance of trying to find brands that you think are going to last and try to get them just before they start turning the curve so that they’re not so popular that the Fortune 500 guys aren’t going to beat me to the punch.

It’s a blessing and a curse being a mid to small sized company. It’s our greatest value. Whenever a retailer has a question for us, I can give them an answer in less than 24 hours. This is valuable when they announce a last minute addition to an IP. We can usually move a lot faster than a big corporation.


DONE

>tfw friends are retards and won't buy Titanfall because "giant robots are stupid and unrealistic"

They also won't buy any game not set in the present

The ball on the hatch is weird, but other than that I can dig it.

I remember from before that people tried inventing their own Titans in this general

But moe archive is dead now, so I can't find it. I think anyways.
Wonder if anyone will get them right?

>>145789914
I still want a multi-person titan
>entire team on one mega-titan manning turrets and shit

>>145791651
What if Titans could combine?

>>145798626
What if they couldn't but tried anyways?

>Ogre wants to know the feeling of fast
>Tries hopping on back of Stryder
>Immediately crushes it

Inversely

>Stryder wonders what being an Ogre is like
>Hops on Ogre's back
>Is horrified by how slow it is, gets off immediately

>In the background of both, Atlas just wants attention

>>145799162
>Atlas discovers his sexuality

So Titanfall 2 isn't going to have the original ones, right?

>>145777876
I don't have a lot of options anon

>>145800414
If you mean titans, then no. It's going to have 6 new titans. Some of them resemble the old ones though.

>>145800414
>>145802661
They're basically just the old ones but upgraded
There's two ogre types, two atlas types, and two stryder types

>>145804906
Nice

So when do they reveal the rest?

>>145805859
Never ever

>>145805859
they have 4 months to reveal 3 titans and 3 pilots plus announce a technical test
itll be slow

>>145808409
fuck

>>145808781
welcome to video games
at least they arent releasing the game next year or something

>>145810731
I'd rather have a big expansion to Titanfall this year, and then Titanfall 2 next year for Project Scorpio.

Kinda iffy about the last one but other than that my dick is diamonds.

>>145811326
The rodeo is confirmed not to be an instakill
You take a battery from the enemy titan on your first attack, which you can give to a friendly as a buff, second and third attacks are grenades

Xbone lobby is up! Join now!

That went pretty well

Convincing more people and friends to get Titanfall 2. I feel like a shill without any pay.
I do it for free.

You're improving their quality of life anon.

>>145811326
I really don't like the new Rodeo mechanic

GG Illusion, gonna take a break

Fuck lagoon

>>145811326
I hope the third person view when climbing into the Titan is just for cinematics, I liked how a majority of the gameplay in the first one was in first person.

>>145816468
same

>>145816468
Agreed. Gonna be pretty pissed if it isn't

If I equip an unranked Sancti Tigris by mistake, can I not sell it anymore?

>>145816468
>>145816607
>>145817271
Quick, make our complaints heard

>>145811326
Are they all close to death or have the Titan health bars changed?

>>145820406
I hope the new maps are just as solid

>>145820757
They said they wanted to remove some of the chaos from matches by making the maps more readable, so they probably wont be as complex, but as long as they keep designing them around wallrunning it wont be a problem

>>145811490
The idea is to have more team coordination to take down a titan.
3 guys doing that in a row and the titan will be dead really fast.
It is weird.

>>145821993
Wouldn't that be easy for one person to do? It's very common for when smoke is deployed for the pilot to stay to pull off the cover, then jump back on when the smoke is cleared to cause damage. I do see their reasoning behind changing rodeo mechanics, but this feels like it'll shift the balance in favor more of the pilots than anything else

>>145822572
Maybe Titans will have more HP in general then

>>145822925
Given that titans don't have shields, it seems likely that Respawn wants them to have a much shorter play duration.

>>145823225
y tho

>>145823547
probably to compensate...possibly making it faster to get Titans. The idea is to shift gameplay so Titans (while still strong) are not completely just holding the map hostage once a team gets 6 active titans.

>>145823657
I suppose. Titans seem to be able to dish out more damage anyways.

>>145823657
There are better ways to do that. I hope there's more health to fix the lack of shields

>>145824991
Even then, the shields added an extra level to firefights. Honestly I hope they are not gone.

>>145826707
Maybe health just slowwwwly recovers over time, or maybe only up to a certain point, like to the nearest multiple of 20

>>145829503
>bottom of page 10 within 20 minutes
/vg/ is shit now its so fast

>>145829570
E3 just happened, what did you expect?

Everyone but tfg should be banned from making generals

We should get a TinyChat or somethin

I wish you could high five between Titans

>>145826962
Probably not, but didn't they say rodeoing a Titan gives you a battery you can use to heal friendly titans? This is absolutely nothing but pure speculation on my end, but would it be so crazy to think there's a possibility that batteries might also be on the map in areas where only pilots can access? This would place an incentive on exiting your Titan and risking being vulnerable for the sake of a large payoff through being able to repair your Titan.
