Support NeoGAF

[DigitalHitmann]

Right now theyre limiting skills publicly shown. I know of quite a few that havent been shown publicly yet. Most of which can be upgraded. Like the turret that shoots rounds or one that outputs flames. There will be alot of variety to play with.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

Added information on Dynamic Weather & Day-and-Night Cycle, Cosmetic Customization, and Character Slots.

 

[theWB27]

Thanks for the updates hitman. Is it looking like they're gonna stick to that release date?

From speaking with the team over the last couple months post-E3, March 8th looks pretty concrete. There is some stuff NDA'ed that I cant talk about right now, but once I can I will let you guys know.

November is when the PR machine starts up. November and December will be pretty big months for us. I expect, and know of some pretty great things that will be happening.

Ill be adding some more stuff tomorrow possibly. Just getting over a 103 degree fever these last few days. Still feel pretty terrible.

Thanks for the thread and updates, great read.

 

[jmizzal]

sounds good cant wait for the beta

 

[Gaz_RB]

Feel better amigo, thanks for the updates. Looking forward to beta.

 

[Bold One]

sounds like Destiny

 

[HowZatOZ]

sounds like Destiny

Destiny sounds like any MMO ever. They are all going to share similarities, nothing wrong with that.

The extraction part sounds so damn awesome, going to be hectic fending off people while I'm trying to secure my epic loot. So keen!

At E3 I played with some IGN and GameSpot guys who had no idea what they were doing. One of them flagged and went rogue during extraction, so I basically just mowed everyone down and still managed to extract with a full Rogue counter. Its hard to describe just how hectic it can really get. Its adrenaline inducing though if youre competitive like I am because 3 or 4 vs 4 v 4 quickly turns to 1 vs many when theres such a huge bounty on your head.

 

[Always-honest]

Damn, march is insane.
I think this game will do pretty good, by the way.

 

[orichalcos]

I played The Division on the PlayIT Show. (Hungary)

Just few things: E3 build, nice graphics, 1 dark zone, 3 team with 9 players, one extraction. I love the game.

 

[Philippo]

Still waiting for the PR machine of this game to start moving and win me back, because Q1 of next year has many other appealing titles.

 

[Nesmaster75]

Still anticipating this beta that's supposedly hitting Xbox One first next month. Maybe an announcement at The Game Awards?

Xbox One beta:

Before Christmas. The PR lady told me.

 

[ChosenPredator]

this game is good. It's going to have people addicted like destiny at first.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

If I could tell you guys, I would. Just stay frosty. I promise it will be worth the wait.

The tease!

 

[GnawtyDog]

The game has fallen of my radar big time. Either I am subconsciously missing news about it or there's been long periods of time with little to no new info coming out that's either posted on GAF or cross-referenced in social media etc...

Hope it turns out great. It has an interesting promise.

 

[Interficium]

November is when the PR machine starts up.

 

[Cyber Caesar]

I feel like this game was announced too early all the hype is gone no?

 

[Futurematic]

I feel like this game was announced too early all the hype is gone no?

Delayed twice, and a host of additional studios mustered to help, I assume Ubisoft basically expected the first delay but not the second. Looks like size of the game bit them hard, but Ubi Massive have a very good track record. I'm optimistic overall on it, except for that weird betray mechanic lol.

 

[Pachimari]

How do I gain access to this Xbox One beta?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

So excited for this game. Next year is insanity...

Uncharted, and the Division in the same month???

Also ^

 

[Alias03]

I use to be so excited for this game, but the lack of any real info or gameplay has soured me. I don't count small 10 second gifs that masks the downgraded graphics (on console) as gameplay footage. We truly haven't seen any campaign footage at all. The reveal in 2013 and also E3 2014 looked more like vertical slice's then actually gameplay. No info on how quest work, or if they we will even have raids. Also I do think the darkzone is a cool idea, but will we have a traditional MP also? With lobbies and different game modes? If the PvP is just darkzone interaction I'll be disappointed.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

How do I gain access to this Xbox One beta?

Preorder. Can be done easily on Amazon, they won't charge you until the game ships.

 

[BeforeU]

I don't have faith in this game anymore. I still have it pre-ordered for the beta but yeah with all the technical issues we have with big open world games this gen. My expectations are lot lower.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

Heading to Sweden for a few days. Should be fun.

 

[aibaby]

Was that gameplay demo they showed where a group does a dungeon then they kill each other in the Dark Zone? Or is it free for all for the loot amongst your party members after finishing the dungeon? Also, are there dungeons not located in Dark Zones people who only like PvE can do?

It was no dungeon,it was just a normal Dark Zone.
And PvP is only in the Dark Zone.

When they go over the wall and drop down and engage in PVP, that is the Dark Zone. You can pair up with other people outside of the Dark Zone though. Up to four people can play together, and the difficulty scales depending on how many people are in a party.

The loot system is personal, in that only drops for you will be shown, unless you are killed and drop something or it is a PVE enemy drop. Chests you can choose to share or take everything.

There are other locations such as buildings, the sewer system, and metro system that can be explored outside of the Dark Zone.

 

[Loomba]

Got my beta code for Xbox One, is there a start date for it yet?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Got my beta code for Xbox One, is there a start date for it yet?

Only December.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Only December.

I'm interested to see what the beta is like. If we get some positive impressions, I may pre-order to join the action. I like the concept of the game and I'm hoping it turns out well.

[Darryl M R]

Geez I pre-ordered on PS4, I wish I also did it on Xbox so I could play the beta even sooner. Hopefully GAF will be passing out codes since you get 3 beta codes for your pre-order.

As time went by The Division started seeming less complex (this is bad). Now it just seems like, go here, shoot these things, get cool loot.

What changed from your perspective? It's always seemed like Destiny New York City to me.

 

[Springhettios]

I'm going to lose it when I first see NYC! Setting looks amazing!

 

[DigitalHitmann]

Ill be giving quite a few codes out this week on Twitter and maybe some GAF exclusive ones.

 

[Great Poster]

Is the "overwatch" player (tablet) option still in the game? If so, how's the gameplay on that? Do you know if it will be in the beta?

 

[pr0cs]

Agreed, this is exactly why I cancelled my preorder.
I will be happy to eat crow if it isn't the case but everything I've seen recently suggests that the division is heavily modelled after destiny which is a giant turn off for me

 

[Xplatformer]

Whelp..other than Star Citizen and Xcom this will be the only game I invest in for my PC over the next year.


Probably the only multiplayer title other than Rocket League that I'm interested in. Day One on PC version.

 

[Haines]

I am amazingly hyped for this game. Been staying dark on the details tho, like i do most to make a fresh game experience at launch.

But with a beta coming, time to park my butt in this thread. Too bad i ordered ps4

 

[Xion_Stellar]

I been wanting to try this game out since the reveal trailer and as someone who hasn't played Destiny I got to say that I still feel that way so I hope the game turns out well.

 

[Filth]

What's your Twitter bud. Id love to grab a ps4 code.

 

[Mifec]

Pretty sure they removed it because it was too OP.

 

[ViciousDS]

Pretty sure they removed it because it was too OP.

The tablet was actually a really cool idea. They just found it wasnt balanced well enough to fit what they wanted to accomplish. I just hope second screen support wasnt completely dropped. Id like to see a Battlelog style app for The Division, or maybe a Base of Operations metagame similar to Motherbase with MGSV.

Pretty much......will probably pre-order on amazon for xbox to get my key....and then cancel to play and pre-order again to get the PS4 beta next month lol

 

[XxRampage07xX]

This game sounds great. But there are two things I'm worried about and I hope they won't ruin the game:

• Contents. Hopefully they won't remove contents from the basegame and sell them as expansions.
• Microtransactions. I know they can't be avoided, but still hope they will be limited to a lesser extent like outfits and weapon skins purchases.

 

[garath]

Well. I guess I've been living under a rock. Didn't realize this was for the pc too. Guess my GCU membership will come in handy here. Going to preorder soon. This looks awesome. The better destiny experience I couldn't get on pc.

I've always liked Tom Clancy games. Hope this one delivers. OP has a lot of cool stuff in it.
