there's one thing that's really bugging me about this. Why the secrecy beyond not showing any PC material even when the NDA has been lifted? What they hiding, if you wanna appease the army out there, then show some PC material. This kinda thing only says one thing to me, they don't want a **** storm early from PC gamers.
And another thing, these screenshots, no HUD's or anything, probably ingame CG sequence or something. Not gameplay is it.
Very good point, could it be they dont want the pc master race to see the graphics downgrade and cancel their pre-orders. Weve already watched the console gameplay and the peasants seem happy with what theyve seen. (Im a console owning peasant too btw) Maybe they dont want to drop the bombshell just yet.
^^
Yep.
They don't want the PC to cannibalise console sales so they keep quiet about it for as long as possible in the hope people will have already pre-ordered the console version and will just stick with it.
Or they dont want us pc gamers to see basically a higher res version of the console.

Exclusive PC features
It has been stated for a long time, that The Division will be optimized for each platform separately and that it won´t be just a console-port for PC players. Of course that has been met with skepticism, but now we finally have a more detailed answer, how they will support and optimize the experience for PC players:
With the SnowDrop engine, we are able to get the max out of every platform
PC has a lot of configuration options -
such as?!?
PC supports 2/3 monitors, so we have to support that -
Does not change the image quality but good to know
bigger rendering settings -
Texture rendering or screen rendering? Possibly does not change the image quality but good to know
unlock framerates -
Yay, higher than 30 or 60. Does not change the image quality but good to know
support multiple GPUs -
Does not change the image quality but good to know
Matter of pride to be able to give people the opportunity to get the best out of their hardware they invested in. -
Who writes this ****?
I know a screenshot/vid of the PC graphics options has been leaked and Id love to know how it compares to a console. What I mean is, if you max out the pc options would it look identical to the consoles, only difference being the screen res. 1080+ for PC, sub 1080 on console? If this is the case then the game does look pretty poor as the console footage is not exactly mind blowing.
Also, those 4K screenies released are no way from the current game/build. Everything about the image looks like the old E3 stuff. Pre rendered cut scene maybe but not pc gameplay thats for damn sure.
