Quick Look: Titanfall 2

this game is titan-baller

*cough*

i cant wait to try tgis but that film grain is so bad

Jeff's review is really making me wanna go buy it today....

We got a Giant bomb Xbox group right?

The groups carry over from the beta. I bought in on PS4 and I was already in the bomb group.

"you take point Jeff"
haha

That wasnt a british or aussie accent guys. It was South African. This does look pretty dope though.

Fits and Starts!

Jeff is a Titan among man

@steveurkel: No joke. Editing the config files the same as the first Titanfall doesn't work, either.

Love these live Quick Looks. I drove home from work on my lunch break to get a quick match in. Jumped in to a Last Titan Standing game and was shooting it out with GiantBombing while I had the stream up.

@karatelips: Is it just me or is that becoming a thing more often these days?

Something about that titan-entering animation with the screens coming on one at a time in the middle of a fight always gets me so amped, it's like it's saying "Get psyched!" and I'm like "ok!"

Harder than fukushima breezes.

From what I have played of the single player is really fun. I do wish I had an option to turn Auto aim for the campaign off. I can see why they have it you are moving around a lot taking crazy shots from the ceiling. I'm digging it!

We need more cross-coast Quicklooks and podcasts.

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY

BETTER. STRONGER. FASTER.

Titanfall 2 looks pretty cool though...

I almost feel as though they should multiply the numeric values for the cash in bounty hunt by like 100. It does seem a little silly when you are dealing with such a small cash value.

@n00bs7ay3r:

Yeah, it's a bit silly. Some awful space lieutenant is like "We have to send down some titans to cover our men in the field. Over 300 dollars is at stake."

I signed up for EA access to try out BF1 and Titanfall 2 and see which one I wanted to buy. Sadly Titanfall 2 isn't apart of the program. At least I know I don't want BF1 though I guess. Bummed, really wanted to try before I buy.

@deepwest: Awesome.

So... this game is totally worth it? Like it's going to be a long lasting, better featured version of Titanfall?

"It's an average shooter campaign in length, but in terms of format it is, uh... BETTER THAN THAT."

Excited-about-a-new-game Jeff is my favorite.

How many times has the word "Ark" appeared in science fiction?

What does it say about the last few years that when Jeff said there was nothing to buy in game I didn't believe my ears.

I simply didn't believe him.

hacking to me is like a religion and TITANFALL 2 IS THE SHIT

wow this really makes me want to play this game but 50 bucks for a 5 hour campaign is just way too hard for me to afford (on disability ) since I know I would never touch the multiplayer ... but it just seems like such an amazing SP campaign hard to decide food or game at this stage in my life

alsoooo ..... why WHY did they decide on the incredibly low dollar amount for the bounty? It would be so much more exciting if you had to dump MILLIONS into the bank but I just couldn't stop laughing at them like MURDER THIS MAN For ... eight dollars!

This might be my favorite shooter campaign that I've ever played. And the multi-player is exactly what I'm looking for out of a shooter. The thing that has surprised me the most is how different my plastered between this and the first one are. I was totally a strider with a shotgun in the first game but love scorch and legion in this one. Give me a fat ass titan with a huge gun all game long.

Playstyles not plastered. Damn commenting on a phone

The picture quality of this video is not good. I'm using the html 5 player and it's set to the HD feed. I'm assuming Giant Bomb doesn't host higher quality videos due to file size/ bandwidth considerations. However, I would happily still pay to be a premium subscriber if they also spit out a youtube video version that was 1080p 60fps when the game calls for it since hey you can do that on youtube for free!

It's become such an unfortunately rare thing to see Jeff actively, genuinely excited for a game these days that now that I'm reminded of what it's like, I can't help but smile along as he describes his experience with the game. This entire quick look was everything I fell in love with GB over in the first place. Folks excited, but more importantly curious, about video games, making real bad jokes that crack me up far more than they have any right to; and just providing a feeling that you're right there with 'em, enjoying the ride alongside the fine folks (now at CBS interactive) responsible for creating this here content.

Very, very hard for me not to be extremely excited about this video-game in the aftermath of all that. (DOOM is still the best shooter of the year, though. Rip and tear, until it is done.)

Also, it has to be mentioned. Who hasn't missed the Vinny & Jeff combo? That said, gotta mention that @alex, being as comfortable as he is around Vinny these days, was just plain on fire. Seriously, you're responsible for me waking my neighbours up with laughter, and I'm not even the kind to crack a smile too often.

Man, this was the best piece of content since Austin left. Kudos all around.

You know, that was a really sweet looking transition from late title card to cut scene. Rest of the game looks pretty darn good too.

We need more giant talking robot friends in games, just sayin.

This is why Jeff and Vinny being separated was a travesty. But technology--technology brought them back together. To fall. Two Titan Fall.

Titanfall 2

instoresnow

Awesome. Fucking. Title screen

DAMMIT JEFF. STOP MAKING ME BUY GAMES.

@steveurkel: It's subtly applied and very natural tbh. I'm sure you could get over it if you worked at it

@nhoj_sllew: Yes, sir

fuck me now i want to dig into the campaign. seems like great fun by itself.

2016 maybe best year in games since... 2015?

If anyone ever doubts the validity of Quick Looks; know that I bought the game while watching this. Very excited to play, looks to truly be "the CoD killer," as everyone seems so eager to shit on Infinite Warfare. I hope this does well and I'm crazy curious what Respawn is doing with the Star Wars lisence.

fyi, jeff was actually in the NYC office when they recorded this, they were joking about him being skyped in.

I'm pretty sure EA/Respawn made the Titans you pilot sound like Optimus Prime because of this...

@do_the_manta_ray: great post. I agree with everything. That Vinny/Jeff combo is hard to beat!

Forgot how much I miss Jeff and Vinny quick looks.

South African accent is a rare treat

Jeff is MVP.

This game seems pretty damn good. The shooting and movement looks like it feels slick and I bet you can pull off some awesome shit in multiplayer.

I've got to say though, I feel this is probably the worst looking game I've seen in a while in terms of graphical fidelity. The textures look pretty awful and it just looks kind of muddy and unpolished. I suppose with gameplay and mechanics at this level, it doesn't really need to look great.

I was not expecting all this to look so appealing. I played the beta and wasn't super into it, but this QL is making me doubt my doubt. I may have to Redbox it for the story and then decide if the multiplayer is worth it.

Is Troy Baker the only voice actor available?

Boy, Jeff sure loves his Call of Duty and Call of Duty-likes.

This looks totally competent and I'm sure a lot of it is in the "feel" of it (like he commended Destiny on in the past) but 5 star good? Generic scifi environments, brutally stupid AI, and while it has solid art direction (ie: generic scifi) the rendering, visual detail, etc... looks like a multiplayer game.

I don't get it, but then again, I never "got" call of duty, so this just isn't for me.
