Did ubi show any Rainbow six stuff?

Nah. At least I don't remember them showing anything.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

this game and watch dogs makes me so excited for next gen. I can honestly see myself getting lost in these games for a while, and then add my friends i want it now

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Having an argument with my buddy about what "Winter 2014" means. I say they mean it'll be out in 18 months or so, he says 6 or so. What do you guys think?

Im with you, this game is never gonne be released in 6 months. Its only been in developement for a year. So 18 months sounds more believeble

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

the one thing that is making me crazy is the fact I want a tablet now so that when I cant be at my ps4 I can still play the division and watchdogs lol

They've switched it to a Next Gen game, so it may be delayed now as they move forward like that...

I haven't read the entire thread so I apologize if this has been said already but, one of the primary things that struck me about the gameplay video was the small little inbetween animations - the user sliding on top of the car, watching him physically place a turret, scooping up a bottle of water, lifting up his new gun. It's those kind of detailed nuances I'm anxiously looking forward to as the next generations continue to develop. It adds a ton to the overall picture.

Agreed, to add to that, nothing beats the little scene/animation where amid heavy firing while in cover, the player closes a car door ... my jaw dropped ...

Oh good call. I saw a gif of that but overlooked it in the video. It's interesting because I was just thinking aloud a month or two ago while I watched my brothers play Battlefield multi player. I was thinking how cool modern video games looked (on 360) but I wondered how much longer we'd have to accept all those awkward animations as reality.

A lot of us assume we're approaching the max in terms of video game advancement potential, but I have no doubts we'll very soon be looking back at those terrible jumping, falling, crawling, and whatever else animations (players jumping off a building and landing in a perfectly upright position) and laughing at how readily we used to accept those things as being legitimate and ultra real.

Yeah the next gen is really going to to add to the immersion factor. Graphics wise it won't be as big as a jump as the last generation was, but in terms of overall animations, environmental detail, etc., next gen is really going to blow us away in that regard especially if the developer goes to extra lengths in doing so.

I think the Last of us is really the perfect segway into next gen capability and probably Grand Theft Auto V will be as well for what is possible next gen. In respect to Last of us, the game is Linear but it doesn't feel linear because the environments are so detailed and you really don't feel cramped. I think next gen will really expand on this even more, where environment are not only expansive but also populated and feel unique. Open world games are going to be more dynamic and special as npc behavior will be more in depth and varied from person to person. Really excited to play watch dogs in terms of npc interaction.

On current gen, we have all played those open world games that are too open, basically the world feels stale and unpopulated, and you go from mission to mission and you don't really feel a need to explore. I feel next gen will be totally different. It will be more immersive and you will want to explore and go off from the main story more.

Sports games are going to be really interesting as well. Environments and crowds will be more lifelike. That's an area the next gen will open up as the processing power and graphical capabilities will make that possible.

Great point! I wonder if they can use the cloud to do crowds and stuff, items that don't impact the game directly. Lots of different ways the devs will make games/cities deeper.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4)

Great video, by the way there is something interesting that I have noticed as being common with other games: development time ...

I mean, many of the showed games have claim to be under development for more than a few years, so: is that what we are about to expect from now on ? is it due to devs getting use to the new tech ? is it due to games being exponentialy expanded given the increased next gen ram & processing powers ? is it due to a new trend of quality vs quantity or a focus of combating rentals and use games sales with improvement on quality ?

Anyways, whatever the reason, is just extrange that many games share such higher than normal development times.

I reckon most games take that long when starting from scratch. We're talking from absolutely nothing. Stories these days have seriously rigorous scripts and level/map designs.

But yeah, the art is probably something that takes quite a long time for them as the technology improves.
