that's really disappointing - you go from beautiful diverse visuals with minmal hud elements (or really faint elements too) to washed out forgettable/lower res visuals with loads of distracting and ugly dominating hud elements. I hate that, the same thing happened with this shooter a while ago I've already forgotten. It had a team fortress 2 ish vibe and totally ruined everything because when you were actually playing it was just hud numbers and glowing figures so that you know they are enemies.

So frustrating.

And the downgrade from something 2 years old is equally frustrating - this is a game that in a sense was selling systems based on the hope of what could be amazing. I don't even get how you can make it look worse - aren't they using the same dev kits?

prime example of how this console generation overall has been fairly underwhelming to me at least.

On a brighter note, there were so many solid E3 showings that it's ok this particular game might end up being a stinker.

I've slowly lost interest in this and moved my interest on to Metal Gear and new Ghost Recon Wildlands

The flip of tone in this thread between now and the previous 2 E3's is depressing. Ubi really knows how to kill spirits.

I have this pre-ordered, but we'll see if I want to cancel it or not.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Noticed the downgrade.

GamesRadar files a report from E3 with Hands On Gameplay. Pretty good report

Definitely downgraded visually compared to the last two years but it still looks good and with it being an online MMO, I can understand the downgrade because the main priority should be it running online without buffering and disconnections so if that work near perfectly in exchange for lesser visuals, I think that's a good thing because it won't matter how good the game looks if you can't play it.

That vid said no companion app anymore either....that was a really cool aspect before with the drone giving you another view...

Probably just biting off more than they could chew

I use to love Ubisoft, but they have pushed me into being very cautious of anything associated with them, just stumble after stumble. Plus don't get me even started on their crap they call Uplay, its a joke that is even allowed on my PC.

Developers better take note of other studios like Project Cars creators and how they released a COMPLETE game not a EA product needing 5 patches or an Assassins creed launch of epic failures/bugs. There is a very good reason why studios like Naughty Dog and Rockstar(they have slipped a little) are always at the top in terms of quality.

Ubisoft is continually getting called out for rushed titles, poor bug squashing, loss of original features, or flat out bad products. Farcry and Splinter cell about the only two titles on their lineup I think release more often than not without a bunch of issues.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Looking more and more likely I'm gonna cancel this... It was a toss up if I was gonna get both The Division and UC4, but for now think I'm going UC4 only.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

This is still on my purchase list.

Fallout 4, Battlefront (too many friends getting it), and the Division.

All games that involve shooting and I want.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Thankfully we have R6, GR, and BF coming out before the division ever comes out.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

The lack of proximity voice chat is a deal breaker. How can this be a "MMO" at the same time forgoing communication among players. So basically every dark zone encounter will be a mute Mexican standoff? The dark zones are just going to be kill on sight pvp arena's. What makes games like Dayz fun is talking with people and making tense alliances they may lead to you getting murdered or finding a friend to play with for now on.

Yeah, this over UC4 for me by a lot.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

I just pre-ordered from an Amazon.ca 30% off E3 deal.
I might have to cancel though if the downgrading of this game continues.

I have the beta code as well - that might be the deciding factor.
