The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Today at Microsoft’s Gamescom showcase, the company confirmed that the Xbox One iteration of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be getting exclusive content.

I wonder what exactly will the exclusive content entail?

Meaning something that almost forces me to consider picking up the Xbox One version over the ps4.

Because for this game, I don't really have a reason why but I was strongly considering getting it on the ps4. I'll have to see what the exclusive content is before I decide.

I don't know if it's been 100% confirmed, but I believe that this is online only. I'm normally turned off by this, but if they can pull off blending the story mode into multiplayer only, then I'm going to buy the game.

Yeah... ugh

Galaxy Note 2

it is online, but I heard some explanation where you can play on your own or with friends and never once play against another human opponent .. there are apparently zones where it is multiplayer and the rest of it is not

so I'll be keeping an eye on the game, but until that is better explained, I won't be ordering it

How can they restrict a map to you just because you aren't online. That's dumb when you pay the same for the game.

I understand separate mp maps but to restrict a sp from the rest of the designed core game is lame

I highly doubt that will be the case, for the reason you pointed out. Next gen looks very focused on these MMO-type online only games, if pulled off could be great but poor population numbers could doom these games few months after release I think.

The Division – Loot, Late-Game Content, Combat & Other Questions Answered

We know it’s set in Manhattan, but will we have to chance to explore some territories outside of the New York area?

Absolutely. Exploration is key to the game. The majority does take place in Manhattan – but, yes, you will be able to explore other areas in the game.

Will there be serious decisions that will change the overall storyline? And will there be side quests?

The content is emergent and at the heart of the game it is about the player’s choice. The stories behind how each player develops and grows will always be different, which makes this quite unique. The storyline is the storyline, but how you unravel it and how you get there is really up to you. A lot of what we were trying to do with the demo was hint at the idea of discovery; it’s hugely important to the game. We will probably never reveal in full how the game works before we release it because really at the core of the game is the idea of discovery and exploration.

Will PvP be included in the storyline?

Yes! Unfortunately we can’t get into too many details yet, other than to say PvP is incredibly important to the game. We were asked how we wanted to do it and we realized that separating it out as a multiplayer wouldn’t make sense. We looked at a range of different games and then decided we wanted to keep it ambiguous. We wanted to integrate it into the storyline and add an element of mystery, so you don’t know who is a friend and who is an enemy. To be honest, it’s the thing I’m most excited about for the game!

Will the shooting/combat system be focused on RPG features like skills, damage, statistics, and critical hits? Or will it be more a more traditional skill-based shooter?

We are an RPG first and foremost. So the emphasis for the game is definitely on skill/talent synergies along with your weapon characteristics. We are a Clancy game, we are also an open-world game but really we’re an RPG first. Gear will be important, levels will be important, modifications to weapons will be important… everything that makes a fantastic RPG will be important to the game.

What impact will the actions of the players will have on the game? For example: During the gameplay video you showed us at E3 the players cleared the police station from hostile NPCs. What will happen to this station afterward? Will there be new mission opportunities that unfold from there?

To answer it simply: Yes, your actions as a player are very important; the game world will change depending on your actions or inactions. I’ll try to give you a little more than I did at E3. We’re fixing New York, the whole quest or overarching objective of The Division is to get the “grid” back online and functioning; by grid, we mean water, power, sewerage, sanitation, etc. Your actions will change the face of your New York.

Will we see content in the game that will require you to group up with more than four players?

For retention and the end game, “group-plus” content will be really important. I can tell you that there will be multi-group content. I can’t get into it too much, but I can say there will be at least eight-player content.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Man I wish this was a launch title. On the fence right now about upgrading to PS4 now and if this was being release in Q1 of 2014 I probably would go ahead and buy one now. Beautiful looking game.

If this was a launch title I'd be a PS4 owner already.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

I thought this was being released a year after Watch Dogs (or its original date, so Q4 2014). This is surprising to me. I didn't know that it was coming out so soon.

But on that same note, I wonder if there's any chance of this being delayed.

With a baby on the way, maybe I am being impatient but Q4 2014 feels so far away.

I have probably watched that trailer 3-4 times and see new details each time.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Since footage first dropped on this game it has been the one game I've wanted most. I will pre order whatever edition of it that they release that comes with the most extras.

I have a feeling that I'll be playing this a ton once it drops, hopefully it lives up to the gameplay shown & the hype as well.

Agree I really hope it lives up to the hype. But I think Q4 won't be a bad release time for my gaming. Splits Madden and The Show release dates.
