The Division. Are we interested?

MissChief · 28 Feb 2015 at 16:41

No confirmed date that I am aware of other than 'Holiday 2015' so November or December.

Malevolence · 28 Feb 2015 at 17:19

But my holiday is in July.

Thanks for the info Misschief, really looking forward to this just got everything crossed that it isn't a let down when it launches.

Is it overly cynical of me to wonder if that's actually unofficial, or if really its just more PR lies from Ubi themselves?

I know the feeling you are having. The "Alpha testers saying there's "no reason to worry" it's already running great, better than some fully released games today and shouldn't have any issue releasing on holiday 2015"

Is the part that gets me questioning where and who this post actually came from. I do however deeply hope that it's a genuine post from someone who has experienced the game.

The trailer was impressive but who knows if they can really release a working next gen game (day one)

Are people still using the term 'next gen'? Surely it's 'this gen' by now.

FloppyPoppy · 2 Mar 2015 at 00:15

The next gen ends when it launches. People keep calling ps4/xbone " next gen " yet no it isn't because its current gen.

Who has seen the leaked alpha footage? Does not look good at all! Hope ubisoft are being truthful when they say it is simply a test environment with purposely low fidelity and not representative of final game play.

You got a link to it?

In other words, release day max settings

Leaked footage of The Division that appeared online earlier today was taken from a pre-alpha build and is "not representative of the game's current quality", Ubisoft has said.

A short video clip of the game's internal Xbox One pre-alpha test (below) was posted online by VG247 Italy earlier today, along with a pair of screenshots reported to be from the same build. But in a statement provided to VideoGamer.com, Ubisoft said:

"These low resolution images and video originate from a pre-alpha test currently organized by the development team to evaluate the server infrastructure in a real world setting. A large portion of the game features have been removed in this build and therefore is not representative of the game's current quality.

Like many already said: Ubisoft = NO!
I didn't have any problems with Watchdogs as most of the people had, I think because I was running 2 Titans so it was not using the 6gb of the cards, but was using more than 5gb.
BUT I had major problems on "The Crew", worst customer support I ever got in 20 years of online gaming, sometimes taking 10 days to reply my msgs and when I got a reply it didn't have any useful information, just telling me to disable antivirus, unplug all my usb devices, reinstall the game, update the drivers and basic faulty finding that any 10 years old would do before contacting them.
So I'm not buying any game from them anymore.

Tummy · 10 Mar 2015 at 23:27

... After WatchDogs... just no thank you Ubi****.

I will wait for reviews and being able to see game play before making any sort of decision and would urge people to do the same

Oh Ed not again. · 10 Mar 2015 at 23:36

Is this using the same engine as Watchdogs per chance?

Cheers.

To be honest, I'm inclined to believe Ubisoft this time as in that article it says even the person who leaked this gameplay admitted it was from an early Xbox One build of the game. If the graphics were downgraded that much (for PC version too) then there would be outrage.

The real question is, will we still be able to shut the car doors?

I find it quite interesting that games these days seem to have an aversion to functional doors given that they were implemented fairly well in games 10 years ago. There are not very many modern multiplayer shooter based games with actual working doors in buildings these days, maybe The Division will change that!
