[i-Lo]

DS3 is not compatible with regular PCs (natively at least) yet they played Watch_Dogs with one on a PC at last years E3.

One thing I think people forget, these guys are game developers, coders, engineers. I don't think it would be very hard for them to make a DS4 work with a PC.

I think that's a bit too much effort to put in when they can easily get a 360 controller or a xbone controller. I think it's running on a dev kit unit for PS4. That explicit show of controller for a time that long was unnecessary unless they wanted to highlight the platform.

As for WD's last year reveal I don't recall any PS controller. And lest we forget Ubisoft and Sony seem to have a some strategic partnership (much like Activision had with MS this gen).

 

[Brawndo Addict]

ED: Having only watched the E3 trailer/gameplay parts, I may have misinterpreted the kind of game they were aiming for. The videos posted below suggested that they have a more focused, small scale experience (4 man groups) planned as opposed to a larger scale with big player 'guilds'. Nothing wrong with that by any means, just two different things, what they've got still looks and sounds really awesome.

The more Eve style sandbox in terms of player freedom they can go the better. I'm not sure if that's the direction they're going for, but I would love the ability for players to make their own factions, create strongholds out of the environment, hoard resources and make trading camps, that kind of stuff. You could have one faction of players who specialize in guns/bullets holed up in one area, and maybe another focuses on medicine, and you need neutral parties willing to conduct trade between the two because they hate each other but can't survive without the other's supplies.

The more players drive the gameplay rather than reacting to it the better. The basic idea being, what if instead of having default programmed missions like escorting an AI trade caravan between two AI neutral zones, that was an organic task that arose out of actual player behavior. Maybe there's a certain block in the city along the trade route between those two factions where one maniacal player just camps with a sniper and continually lays out tons of traps to blow people up, and the faction leaders offer bounties for any player who kills him or disarms a certain number of the traps.

I dunno, there's a lot of potential in something like this, I would hate for the sandbox part to be just about environmental exploration. Still super amazing, don't get me wrong, but like every whiny consumer I just end up wanting even more.

Man if the entire city is explorable and scavangeable, I will shit bricks. This game is goddamned mindblowing visually. The texture work... holy shit.

I think that's a bit too much effort to put in when they can easily get a 360 controller or a xbone controller. I think it's running on a dev kit unit for PS4.

Honestly, I think the person shown on camera could have been holding an Atari 2600 controller and what we saw on screen would have unfolded in exactly the same manner.

 

[Mahoubuta]

This game looks ridiculously good. I may have to get in on this action.

 

[Didly]

Looks awesome, but no mention of first-person or manual transmission?

Maybe I'm just a niche market.

 

[Zeppelin]

Holy fucking shit at this game. So this is what Massive Entertainment has been up to since... I don't know... Ground Control..? This game makes me truly excited for next-gen!

Edit: Also, why are the trailers linked in the OP for The Crew? That game looks pretty damn cool too.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

That Rev3 interview is the best one so far. Sessler actually asked questions that lead to some non-press release answers.

I will back you up man.

Presuming the game is actually like the trailer.

He's good at that. Check out the Destiny and Watch Dogs interviews, too.

With software work arounds, it is easy to use DS3 with regular PCs. I think we are probably seeing the PS4 version here, although I am still a little bit hesitant if they haven't stated as such.

 

[Discotheque]

i hope this game isn't going to be one of ubisofts famous bait and switches.

that would break my heart. i didn't buy into the hype for watch dogs when they revealed it last year. because i knew ubisoft montreal was fucking with me.

but this time i'm fiending for the division. and i'm ignoring my better judgement that this will probably suffer a massive downgrade from it's ambitious concept.

Holy fucking shit at this game. So this is what Massive Entertainment has been up to since... I don't know... Ground Control..? This game makes me truly excited for next-gen!

you played World in Conflict? fantastic rts they did after ground control series.

Game of the show for me, the scale, environment and level of detail is fantastic. A genuine next generation title.

Yup, I could really feel the atmosphere as they where walking through the streets. Then someone said something like "we'll explore manhatten later" 0_0

 

[SJRB]

Great to see this much enthousiasm already, the devs must feel great these few days.

Sign me up for the clan as well.

I'm pretty certian he was playing Watchdogs with a black 360 controller...


Amirox, put me on that list.

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

Can't wait. What's the launch window for this?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

This stole the show for me. I need more information. Don't let me down, Ubisoft. Please.

 

[Dennis]

Whenever I see this thread title I go "Tom Calancy" in my head.

Damn you, Mr Caffeine!

What 12 minutre trailer?

 

[Reckless Onion]

Any word on the framerate?

 

[jon bones]

I'm on XBL now, but rest assured I'll see you guys on the PS4 Division Team when the time comes.

I'll be the guy running up close range with the shotty.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

I'm pretty certian he was playing Watchdogs with a black 360 controller...


Amirox, put me on that list.

Well, the demo had Playstation button prompts on the screen...

 

[Crillfingers]

I'm all in as well.

PSN - Crillfingers

Any word on the framerate?

Definitely 30fps (educated guess).

For.

What's this list?

lol, Amirox's victims

 

[reKon]

If this game ends up being polished up, this what would make a get PS4 and ignore my giant PS3 backlog lol.

psn: mdmola

 

[The Last Wizard]

I hope we get custom characters, that'll ease the pain of the absent rainbow six.

 

[Pound_lb003]

Is it there on release!?

If it is I'm PSN: Pound_Lb003

 

[Hindle]

So I'm wondering what the main aim is in the game. Is it complete missions with your friends, before rival teams complete them?

Edit. I'm also wondering if they'll be different factions in the game. Gah, I want more details now!

 

[jet1911]

Is it there on release!?

If it is I'm PSN: Pound_Lb003

2014. Probably late 2014.

 

[Zumblakladla]

It would be good to write PSN IDs next to GAF nick. So we can start adding each other now, because you know, we can play other games till TD releases

 

[tw1164]

This game looks really fun, I'm going to grab it. Did they mention any PVP, or what happens when you die?

 

[jon bones]

I hope we get custom characters, that'll ease the pain of the absent rainbow six.

yeah i hope i can create my character and outfit him with clothing loot from the game

 

[RebornYeti]

The Division looked really great, I'm way excited for it.

But one thing bothered me during the demo: The UI. I don't like UIs the bobble and move with the character. It's just weird to me. *shrug*

 

[Mr. Luchador]

2014. Probably late 2014.

Don't tell me this. Not this. No. That's the future

 

[Smash88]

Its a direct screen grab from the live demo.

It is not a direct screen grab from the live demo. A zoomed screenshot of his backpack at that point was never taken. This is a bullshot.

I just feel bad that many people think this will be representative footage of in-game quality when it hits retail.

 

[SamuraiX-]

2014. Probably late 2014.

Considering it's Ubisoft, they'll probably make them rush it out in early 2014.

What a shame that would be. A brand new IP with so much potential like this deserves all the time it needs in development.

I don't think so honestly. This game looks like a "november" game if you know what I mean.

 

[Gumbie]

Has anything been said about how death will work in this game? I'm hoping for some sort of permadeath like Day Z where you are actually afraid to die and lose your stuff.
