Titanfall 2 Game Play Video at 4k 60fps on Titan X

The lackluster release of the first Titanfall was very exciting, mostly because the game was overhyped.  That excitment quickly changed because it did nothing to keep players engaged.  It was a Multiplayer only game and suffered from the COD effect where unless you are playing at 0 Hour you will be so far behind on experience you'll never advance.

Titanfall 2 is the next installment and should be dropping any day now. 

In hopes of getting the hype train moving again the NVIDIA camp has released a gameplay video at 4K claiming 60FPS using a Titan X.

This is a cleaver bit of marketing for NVIDIA by featuring an anticipated game title on an exclusively expensive GPU claiming that it can attain the magical 4k60max and here is the proof.  I will admit the graphics look great and the captured gameplay seemed really smooth despite the numerous cuts and edits but they designed the game for consoles, it would be hard NOT to.

Getting back to the gameplay.  We see that the jump mechanic is back which allows you to bounce off walls and quickly propel yourself across the map.  This is maybe one of the best features from the first game so I'm glad to see it make a return.  The appearance of the Titans has changed and while their movement speed seemed to have improved they still struggle getting around in the city.

Basically these two game features are the only thing to provide balance between the two and honestly was what made the game boring.  I sure hope the single player campaign brings a reason to play the game more than once else we will see the game once again discounted in the bargain bin at $10.00 with nobody buying.  That, of course, will leave you stuck with a $1200.00 GPU and go game to play.

The game is due to be released October 28 and NVIDIA recommends a GTX 1060 but is suggesting a GTX 1080 (of course)  a Core i5-6600 or higher is also suggested.  Much to my suprise this is only DirectX 11 title which means you can play it on Windows 7!  #w00t.
