I know what is wrong guys..... We just need to go to:

Can you not see how close to e3 2013 this looks:

EDIT:

Sorry, I forgot to put them through photoshop first!!!!!

Ubisoft division development team right now:

I was excited about this game until I saw that video.

Jacksonn · 23 Jan 2016 at 22:13

Looks great Nexus, look at that path texture.. BEAUTIFUL

Although i admire childishness, this is a tad much.

Malevolence · 23 Jan 2016 at 22:24

I'm not liking all the hand-holding that appears to be in this game. Big orange lines floating in the air that tell you where to go and what to do, big flashing backpacks and trunks with big orange "OPEN" letters over them

Lol I think Nexus has finally burst with all these bullshots. The gig is up Ubisoft, you tried to fool us again.

YB2ndBEST · 23 Jan 2016 at 22:32

Only thing childish is Ubisoft acting like they could actually hide this... what a joke. You can't seriously think that's "snowdrop being utilized to maximize each platform" can you?

TonyTurbo78 · 23 Jan 2016 at 22:36

just annoys me these youtube celebs....and I use that word very loosely, are all like Zomg it's almost as good as the E3 videos. I'd rather they just said yes it's slightly better than console as you would expect, but nowhere near the level of E3. Just tell the blinking truth that's all I want.

neoglow · 23 Jan 2016 at 22:39

The tech demo of the snowdrop engine on YouTube looks stunning, showcasing effects in an environment of very similar design to The Division (snowy and post apocalyptic) Only problem is the game looks nothing like the tech demo.

Jacksonn · 23 Jan 2016 at 22:48

But with that said, they never do..

Sorry to take away from the loving back and forth but has the beta started now? I got an email the other day with a code for it and when entered it said I would get an email before the launch?

29th for PC I believe

Looks very nice, but will it actually be any fun to play?

It just seems like a city-based squad shooter but with some potential for some DayZ-like griefing/trolling/cheating. Maybe I've read it wrong but the trailers and gameplay I've seen all look very derivative.

YB2ndBEST · 23 Jan 2016 at 23:29

I would love for the game to surprise the hell out of us and at leaaaaaaast have the elements of the engine in the game that were originally showed off for division, even if it doesn't look as good, but no they literally pulled a WD again and just straight took stuff out completely.

That does actually look alright. It's not E3 levels of alright, but it's alright. I want to see it non compressed though as it looks washed out in the dm video player. And in 21:9.

Doesn't really look next gen though does it? More like console graphics just with higher res. The lighting looks particularly flat. And still, the same tiny console FOV...

eekfek · 23 Jan 2016 at 23:57

So having perused the leaked PC beta footage, as expected, it's another typical Ubisoft release. It looks just like the console footage but a bit sharper which is no shocker.

At the end of the day the game might turn out good fun but not even our resident Ubisoft PR member can run damage control on another totally misleading advertising campaign.

Jesus Christ, all this moaning. Okay so they've quite obviously lied, but the lengths some of the people are going to are just daft, it's a game, it's just OTT, I get that it's irritating, I feel the same, but going all keyboard warrior isn't going to change that is it? We're all in tis thread because we're interested in the game, so just wait for the beta so you can customise it yourself with no compression etc and then see what it looks and plays like.

Problem is, if they lied about that, or have lots of "business reasons" to downgrade the graphics, then they've probably done the same with the gameplay. Promised and demoed loads of great gameplay features, that they've then downgraded to hit their release date. Same as Watchdogs.

I get that but why not wait until you're able to play it yourself, I mean I saw Angry Joe's video when he played it and I thought it was pretty good to be honest, I was more interested in how the game played than looking at how realistic puddles and leaves looked.
