[StueyDuck]

I'm rather... divided on this announcement

I'll leave now

 

[adamsapple]

yeah, I remember that. Did that never release?

From what I can find online, it's supposed to come out late 2023 or early 2024.

There's been no signs of that happening recently though.

 

[Meicyn]

Wait, wasn't there supposed to be a spin-off Division game, Heartland or something, whatever happened to it ?

It's been delayed to next year, they're making changes based on feedback from the last closed alpha test.

 

[indigoSociety]

I just remember one long weekend I played them back to back and Division 2 felt like the first game and Division 1 like the sequel. It was just better in every single way. And when I say every single way I really do mean it. Like it even looked worse than the first one.

Division 2 was SHIT.

The setting was better in 1. Everything else you said is pure nonsense

 

[Meowtor]

Loved 1 and put in a LOT of hours into it. 2 I fell off pretty quick sadly. Hopefully 3 goes back to a winter city game

 

[UltimaKilo]

Hopefully it's not for a few years and they put some real work into the game. The first game was OK but the second lacked direction.

 

[SJRB]

Wow what an epic way to announce this game! Truly mindblowing.

I'm so hyped!

 

[CosmicHusky]

Sounds like it's 5 years away.

True D:

 

[CrustyBritches]

Likely very far away but bring it. Div 1 is one of my all time favourites. Played it soooo much and still do actually.

CrustyBritches come here quick

Would be nice to get crossplay so we can get the whole gang together again. Looks like we're stuck with the PS5 guys.

 

[Pelta88]

"Building a team for the game."

Means we're 4-5 years away from launch.

 

[Neilg]

These were great 30 hour single player/co op campains. never got into the endgame.

Next one being set in london in the middle of winter would capture the feel of the first. its vaguely in the future, its ok if everyone figured out how to get guns.

 

[tryDEATH]

They need to go back to NYC and expand the map to an insane level most of Manhattan into a good chunk of East and Central Brooklyn down to Staten Island and accross to Jersey City. Lets us explore and find things I would still be playing the first game if it had more explore able area as it just looked so freaking amazing.

 

[Portugeezer]

They need to improve the weapon upgrade system. Getting the same weapons with slightly higher DPS gets boring after 20 hours.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

more like poop stank 3

 

[Ywap]

Love both of them but Div 2 is my favourite. The humour in that game is

 

[nikos]

Probably a while before we see it but I'm looking forward to it. Enjoyed the first two games.

 

[cormack12]

Been waiting for this for 2 years

 

[Js562]

Yeah finally been waiting on it. I put too many hrs in division 2

 

[Xtib81]

Great news. Hope we leave the U.S this time. There's plenty of interesting settings in Europe and Asia.

 

[mitch1971]

Nice bit of news.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Me and my friends loved the first two, but both suffered from barely any post launch support. Please find fuck it up.

 

[BigLee74]

1 was great, 2 just didn't hit (playing solo).

 

[phant0m]

The first was one of the biggest letdowns since Watch Dogs. Has the second game in my Ubisoft library for ages but never had the desire to touch it (maybe I got it free, because I don't remember purchasing it).

Not holding my breath but would like to be pleasantly surprised.

Couldn't disagree more. Division 1 had god-tier atmosphere and sound design alongside solid mechanics. The loot was decent but it kinda fell apart in the end game.

I'm guessing you didn't like enemies being so spongey in a Clancy game?

 

[Moses85]

Maybe this time they ll get this game running at the same quality as the E3 2013, thats right 10 year old trailer... geez, i m old

I am still hating Ubisoft for this downgrade.

 

[Embearded]

I have over 300 hours on D1 and close to than on D2. I loved both of them but D1 was better, maybe because it was so freah and well executed, i don't know.
I hope they evolve it even more but somehow make it closer to the first game.

 

[Alebrije]

Finally, Division is the best IP UBI has (besides AC)

Saddly this game will be ready for PS6 launch...so the long wait begins

 

[Codes 208]

I want another winter themed location, the typical summer shit got old fast in 2

 

[ByWatterson]

God I love the potential of these games. All in for more.

 

[Singular7]

Division 1/2 on a PC with a friend are some of the best game experiences you can have.

 

[Wunray]

Im down for it, I liked both games so I'm pretty sure 3rd time's the charm.

 

[semiconscious]

I liked the first game, second one....not so much

same. i'm going with a 'climate change' steamy, rainy new orleans setting to get things back to where they were...

 

[ZehDon]

Loved the first two games, keen to see what they do with a third one.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

The 1st was fucking awesome. The atmosphere, music, missons! The snow, Christmas, the zone! New York! Man, what a ride that was!

The 2nd, eh.

The 3rd? It won't be the 1st. And it's current day UBI. Just redo the 1st, I'd buy that.

 

[geary]

Massive has now 3 big AAA in work: Avatar, Star Wars and Division

 

[EDMIX]

Massive has now 3 big AAA in work: Avatar, Star Wars and Division

ohhhh ok, so makes sense.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Oh my penis, my beautiful penis. I gots a raging boner

 

[thegame983]

Love both games. D2's biggest misstep was the lame ass dark zone implementation.

 

[TGO]

same. i'm going with a 'climate change' steamy, rainy new orleans setting to get things back to where they were...

I was thinking Chicago with a season change.

 

[Masterofchapter]

Well one can hope the game looks better than e3 demo

 

[Team Andromeda]

Awesome news

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

The Division 2 is one of the best TPS' I've ever played, this could be something special as a next-gen (current gen) only release but it sounds like we'll be waiting a while, good news nonetheless.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Didn't have Division 3 happening before Titanfall 3 on my bingo card, I guess you win, grindy-collecty boys.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Division 1 was fun. I did play it for a while, eventually completing the challenge mode and the first 2 Incursions.

The problem of D1 was its post-game, and its PvP. It was rather terrible. The campaign however was really fun in co-op. I didn't regret my purchase just for that.

 

[Brigandier]

Ubisoft were the kings of bullshots weren't they.... the original trailer for The Division was incredible same with Watch Dogs... can we please have that level or higher fidelity now!!!!


Also make a new Rainbow Six you cunts

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Maybe this time they ll get this game running at the same quality as the E3 2013, thats right 10 year old trailer... geez, i m old

I think plenty of games exceeded that quality by a good margin, TLOU2 to mention one. The narration feels like playing an ND game, honestly.

The next one should easily exceed that quality because 2 is on that level.

 

[Corian33]

Interested for sure. I never played the first but spent quite a few hours with the second. Solid gameplay though I think I dropped it because it took so long for the first few updates. I guess they ended up doing a lot of content over time but it seemed like nothing was ever changing when I was playing.

The only problem with the game was when you were under leveled it felt silly shooting some dude in the face a thousand times without killing him.

 

[RavenSan]

Loved 1 and put in a LOT of hours into it. 2 I fell off pretty quick sadly. Hopefully 3 goes back to a winter city game

Set it in Boston and give every single character the most obnoxious Boston accent ever.

 

[Meowtor]

every other mission is breaking into a dunkin donuts to get an iced coffee and donut

 

[lingpanda]

Looking forward to Division 3. I continue to play Division 2 weekly since beta. Gameplay, mechanics, and end game loop better in everyway to the first. I will concede Division 1 was the better looking game and would prefer they go back to the winter setting either in New York or some other city.

Division 2 definitely plays better, but mechanically there are a few issues I have with it. Several stats are completely pointless on weaponry such as weapon handling. Most weapons have minuscule recoil which means you can mostly fire with impunity. This also renders certain talents pointless.

I would also like it if exotics had one additional random talent on them, or at least allow for them to drop with varied stats instead of them being set in stone. This would make them more inline with the other loot in the game, where you are constantly searching for the ideal version of gear. An example would be say, the Vile mask. You always get it with status effect and haz pro. Imagine if you could potentially get any other stats. Exotic drops in their current state are static and mostly a one-and-done affair.

On visuals, my hope with Division 3 is for them to do a true seasonal approach. What I mean is, they could literally rotate seasons in-game. Red Dead Online has all areas have snow during the holiday season which is pretty cool. Instead of being tied to calendar, they could make the seasons shift on a faster interval. I like both the summer and winter aesthetics for different reasons.
