Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

I love that they keep saying it is an RPG "first", I think that's what draws me more to this game. Hardly any modern RPG's, so I welcome the addition next winter.

Thats pretty much just a tech demo honestly.

I think environments being more destructible and accessible speaks more to nex gen as much if not more than lighting by itself.

^Not understanding this comment.

Either way, I hope they take their time with this and don't release it if it's not ready. Game looks epic.

I really hope the final game performs like that video. This is probably my most wanted of 2014 right now.

This and Titanfall appear to be amazing. Destiny could be cool, too, but I've never been a hyper Halo fan, so we'll see what Bungie does.

This particular video is just a lighting demo.. I thought they'd show us more or tell us more than this

True.

But the game is a full year away, no?

The last thing I want is a Watchdogs repeat where we see all this footage and think that the game is further along than it actually is.

I'm cool with what they showed. The details on the bridge alone is crazy having driven across it plenty of times. The smoke on the street. The rear view mirrors shattering. Just ridiculous.

I think even if its a year out most game except for maybe sports show us what theyre up to. We really dont even know what this game is about really and the devs were vague at E3

Not rushing them on release because I definitely want this to be right, I just simply stated all they showed us was a tech demo. I like it but thats not really much to be excited about at this point knowing nothing about this game.

New details:

http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/12/17/the-division-details-on-driving-black-market-and-more

Ubisoft's upcoming shooter The Division is set to include a range of survival elements, including the need to search for clean water.
That's according to a new interview with lead game designer Mathias Karlson and design director Axel Rydby, in which character gear, limited ammo and driving is also discussed.

Given the state of the world in the game, food and water will have much greater value. Players will be expected to go foraging for both, but they'll serve as currency rather than be required for survival.

"Not only do you actually have to go out and look for food and water, but [they] become very valuable and rare resources that can be used to trade and stuff like that," Rydby explained. "But when it comes to having to drink water and eat food to be able to survive, that's not really what we want from it. Food and water will be a very important part of the game, but players will not need to eat and drink to stay alive."

When you start out in the always-online game, it'll apparently be with 72 hours-worth of basic equipment and supplies that aren't going to get you too far. This is where the RPG elements of the game come in, with Rydby explaining "Moving throughout the world, it's going to be a lot about looting and acquiring new gear as you progress. We're focusing a lot on the RPG aspects of the game since we are very much an RPG, so acquiring loot and gearing up your character is going to be a very big part of the game."

But while the looting and gearing will bear hallmarks of the RPG genre, you won't be selecting a class upfront. Rather you refine your role as you make decisions playing the game. Apparently we should expect these choices to be "tough" but "fun" at the same time.

While almost all the trailers have shown abandoned vehicles littering the streets, the team is being reserved when it comes to discussing whether or not you'll be able to use them. Again re-emphasising the survival elements of the game, Rydby hypothesised that if society fell and you have limited fuel, would you use it to make sure you can purify water, to fuel a generator to cook food, or to fuel a car? So while there's no official confirmation or denial over whether vehicles will be in the game, it certainly seems like you'll want to be sure of a big payoff for using one in order to risk your fuel that could be better used elsewhere.
It seems like the final call has yet to be made any way, with Karlson saying, "The way you navigate and move through the city or a game that is open in nature, it's very core to how you experience the world. We are currently investigating what is the best for our game, what can we do to give you the best experience as a player because that is, in the end, what's most important to us."
The Division is currently targeting a winter 2014 release on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Naw man, I think that makes it even better. I think the future is the adaption of experiences that are multiplayer but resemble singleplayer. I just think next-gen needs to push the envelope to create the seamless experience & implement it correctly.

I don't mind the multiplayer shift for games, I just hope that the games that go online only have servers or modes where other users can't kill you whenever they want. Nothing kills an MMO for me quicker than being killed by someone while I'm just trying to get my bearings and advance my character.
