Why Complaining About Titanfall`s Visuals is Dumb

Respawn's Titanfall has come under fire due to low textures during a Closed Alpha Test offered to random EA Origin Account holders. I think that is dumb.

Why Complaining About Titanfall`s Visuals is Dumb

Following this LEAKED FOOTAGE of a closed ALPHA TEST, certain negativity has been hurled Respawn’s way, badmouthing the textures on offer. Respawn programmer Rayme Vinson has already come to his company’s aid, tweeting, ā€œIf you see a 256x256 texture in the Alpha, it’s actually a 512x512 texture in the real game. It’ll be 4x bigger.ā€But what baffles me is - Who in their right mind is looking at the goddamn textures? And also, why do they even care?Seriously, blatantly ignoring the fact this is an ALPHA TEST who are the geniuses standing around staring at the walls and floor when there are twenty feet mechs falling from the sky as jetpacked free-runners nip across rooftops?Far as I’m concerned - provided it lets me hijack a mech, magnetically repulse incoming fire, stomp on a dozen or so AI bots, eject onto a nearby rooftop and snap the stupid neck of an unsuspecting fellow human, Titanfall can look like a steaming pile of crap for all I care?

This, for the record, is the grossest image I’ll suggest you conjure today. Promise.So, why the sudden lack of respect for Next Gen Visuals?Because that’s the only thing being offered!
