today's video is made possible by Hulu Plus what's up Tech fans Kevin here on techy tomorrow now I've done a lot of collector's editions unboxings in the past but they've all been on my other home channel TLD today because it's been all console stuff and we thought we'd go ahead and change that starting now and what better way to do it then to unbox the collector's edition of one of the most anticipated PC games of the year titanfall we're gonna unbox it review it and touch a little bit on the gameplay so that wasting any more of your time let's rip this thing wide open and see what it has to offer so here we have it the titanfall collector's edition now as I said earlier I've been boxed a lot of collector's editions in the past both off and on camera and I have to say that this is easily the largest one I've ever gotten my hands on I'm sure there's some specific older game that might rival it but this thing is absolutely massive the box itself shows several of the promo images we've seen before such as showing a Titan and a pilot and as per usual the back side lists and shows all of its contents after cutting off some tape on the top of the box we can lift off the cover and see a simpler black design with the front rolling a simple icon of a pilot in his Titan and the sides bearing the game's title now this collector's edition opens up a little differently than most usually you open the top of the box to pull stuff out this one has a little more style we just have to undo this latch on the front and right away we can see all of the boxes contents displayed including a handy little instruction manual taped to the opening flap to help us know just how to safely remove all of this stuff so to begin with we of course have our PC copy of the game there's no end game bonuses for this edition so all we're getting inside are numerous installation discs and the usual couple pieces of paper next to that we have the poster which is designed to look like a simple blueprint of the Atlas type Titan which is the design we've seen in most of the videos and the beta it's basically the well-balanced starter Titan right next to that we have the game's art book as opposed to most art books these days which are these odd little half-size things there's only 20 or 30 pages the titanfall art book is a proper full-size coffee table book with just under 200 pages of art with chapters dedicated to the designs of titans and pilots vehicles and weapons locations in the game and some of the final actual physical models of titans this is definitely one of the better art books I've seen in more recent collector's editions probably the best one since Skyrim's now that we've got those out of the way let's go ahead and slide this whole thing out and get a better look at the Statue bringing it out reveals a few more items on the top of the package first up you've got the certificate of authenticity which shows that we got number 26,000 and 23 out of the 35,000 of these that they made we also have a pair of soldier figures that we're just not safe enough to travel all it's one with the Statue so we'll put that all together in a bit so now we can start carefully removing all of the styrofoam and different little supports and have the statue itself in its full glory this is the largest statue I've ever gotten in a collector's edition standing at 19 and a half inches tall and has a lot of great detail depicting an Atlas type Titan with the enemy trying to board it all we have to do now is add our two soldiers from earlier one taking point and the other one trying to take out the enemy pilot and we have a complete gigantic statue which also happens to light up when you push this little button disguised as a rock so all in all this is a very traditional straightforward collector's edition that just did everything it could bigger a great art book good full-size poster and a fantastic nearly 20 inch tall statue now is it worth 250 bucks well just like how big it is this thing is just as easily one of the most expensive editions we've ever purchased weighing in at the same price of some game systems with the tile or two to start now given you always kind of have to take a collector's edition pricing with a grain of salt because they're all overpriced relative to what you get and while this one has few items what you do get is substantial and none of them feel like a waste I'm gonna have to say surprising even myself that I feel like this one is kind of worth what you pay for given purchasing a giant statue and art book aren't exactly a necessity but if you've got the money to shell out and you're already a huge fan of the game either because you played the beta or you just know you're gonna get it one way or the other I feel like you get what you pay for as far as collector's editions go especially with this statue now while we were throwing this together I took the time to install the full version of the game and spend a little time with it and from what little I've played so far it's very similar to what we experienced in the beta but just with more things to do to begin with one of the really nice things is that right off the bat you have different Titans to use as loadouts but the tank loadout now you see the ogor instead of the Atlas which is just way more tanky the game's campaign mode is played out simply by joining specific multiplayer matches using a certain map and game mode with a few spoken lines before and during the match to fill out its plot otherwise it's just like hopping onto multi players same experience which in my opinion is really a good thing I've grown really tired of tacked on single-player campaigns out of a sense of tradition also while I haven't run super thorough benchmarks just yet I did go ahead and checked out my average frame rate right now running on 2560 by 1440 with all settings set to max on our system which includes an msi gtx 780 twin frozer and an i7 4770k processor i was getting an average of 57 frames per second during matches just barely under 60 and keeping consistently smooth throughout the match which is a good thing now before I let you guys go I want to take a moment to think Hulu Plus for helping make today's video possible most of you have probably gone to Hulu at least once to catch a show that recently aired or find
