Is the beta still on for this month.

Yep! #SoonTM

 

[Alias03]

I've played on Xbox One.

Have you played on PS4? Can you comment on the difference if any? Also how does the game on console compare to the PC footage we've seen

 

[Jerm411]

I doubt this can be answered and the info may be elsewhere and I just missed it but do we know what the moment to moment gameplay is like?

I mean is there a main quest line and then side quests, plus PvP, something similar to strikes or raids, etc?

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Yep! #SoonTM

Could probably go hunt for this but i'll just datamine the source here..

WAT do i have to do to get on the list here?? I want IN on this beta so hard.

Have not played on PS4 yet, but I will at launch. I main PS4.

Game looks really good. The game really shines when it's snowing at night time. It's sooo good.

Can you say if it's before the tail end of December? I just have a feeling it'll be just before the new year so the "Beta on Xbox in December, early 2016 for everyone else" can be achieved but minimize fussing/potential controversy.

You can go to the official website and get on the "waiting list" however for guarantee access you need to preorder. I suggest amazon and then once you get your code cancel, you will not be charged anything.

There are a lot of stuff and things. I can't go into detail about it just yet. I can say there is absolutely a story line though.

I believe its been said it will be before Xmas... Not 100% sure though

Was a good try at fishing for information especially since it's 4am here, but no I can't announce it publicly yet. #SoonTM

Story like Destiny or story like Last of us? lol

Cool, no problem...trust me I am excited, already have it pre-ordered lol.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

Last of Us, anyone who thinks Destiny year 1 had a story is kidding themselves.

 

[Jest Chillin]

It's worth noting that the official website's News section does offer some good info here and there. I don't check it too often but will be reading up on what I've missed tonight.

For others who may be interested...

Community Q & A about Skills, Talents, and Gun Customization

and

Intel Annex #8 which looks to go a bit more in-depth about Experience, Skills, Talents and Perks.

Haven't read them yet, and the Q&A actually has a YT vid in there too but it might have some good tidbits in there.

 

[Alias03]

Last of Us, anyone who thinks Destiny year 1 had a story is kidding themselves.

HAHA that was my point. Good to know it will have a solid narrative. I kinda want Ryan, Megan, and Bronson to be actually NPCs in the game..... Kinda grown to like seeing them lol

Yeah I highly recommend watching the annexes. I've been so busy between coming here and Siege Day and holidays I haven't had the chance to update the OP. I did many articles on my site though as well if it helps.

Megan is my favorite. I told the lead comm dev I was going to steal her key art from the office. Just so much mystery behind her and why she went rogue.

 

[Oxn]

All we've really seen from footage are Multiplayer.

Does SP mode have a real story? Like Cut scenes and relatable NPCs and all that stuff?

[RdN]

Damn, I had completely forgotten that a Beta for the XBO was coming this month.

I pre ordered it on Amazon a while back but never received a code for the Beta... Gotta look into that.

 

[-Deimos]

Proximity would be so great though... This is one of the few titles I can easily see myself waking my daughter up in the middle night with smack talk to randoms as i airlift out my new assault rifle.

"DON'T even try it motherfucker!!"

I can see Ubi not allowing proximity to save some cash and giving some bs about taking risks with other players.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

I just hope it has match making for everything. I can't go through organizing raids again (don't have time for that shit).

 

[etta]

Please tell me the beta doesn't start until after December 16. I have exams up until that day :|

Your enthusiasm is starting to wear off on me. On the brink of a preorder.

Is everything 3rd person or optional 1sr person if desired?

Can't answer this at this time.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

Can't answer this at this time.

Would you say that if Destiny + Ghost Recon/Gears of War had a baby, that it would equate to The Division?

Is this still on course for a March 8th release?
Thanks

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

What kind of game is it?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Is the car door closing animation still in the game?..

Impress me more the destruction of the car than the door animation.

 

[soulassssns]

Is there a single player mode?

 

[Mifec]

Is there a single player mode?

You can play the whole game solo.

 

[Oxn]

Is there a single player mode?

What im really getting at is that is there a real story to it? Or just all MP taking place in a post apocalyptic type world.

 

[garath]

It sounds like there is a legitimate story for single player and possibly co-op?

 

[FreddieQuell]

Does the digital download pre-order on amazon get me beta access as well?

 

[DigitalHitmann]

Would be a fair assumption. Minus the lack of story in Destiny Year 1.

Yes we're still on track for March 8th release.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

All preorders should grant you access to fhe beta.

 

[Alias03]

Have they mentioned if there is player trading?

 

[Nori Chan]

I can tell you my name is already in the game. It's been in the game since E3. As for the others I can't really go into just yet.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by connection?

Like am I going to be connected with my avatar? Will he or she talk, will I be able to customize him/her, etc?

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Megan is my favorite. I told the lead comm dev I was going to steal her key art from the office. Just so much mystery behind her and why she went rogue.

Isn't it Ryan that went rogue and killed them at the extraction point? Or are you talking about a video that I might have missed.

Also, can you go in more details about my post that got ignored a couple pages back :

Is there more information out of the survival aspect in-game? I vaguely remember the player able to find water in one of the walkthrough videos; is it needed to survive, or like Fallout where it gives a amount of health back, or is it just used as ressources that you can then sell for some $?

 

[diablos991]

Yes we're still on track for March 8th release.

Hearing this game actually has a story is a huge sigh of relief. Can't wait for more details to come out on this one.

 

[Alias03]

Also hows the music? Do they have Xmas songs in game? ( I actually really like they have used Xmas music in their trailers)

 

[Pachimari]

You're making me hyped in here. I HD written off The Divison a long time ago but seeing how much I love Rainbow Six: Siege, and the enthusiasm in here, I can't wait to try it out.

I did sign up for the PC beta but I see that the beta this month is only for Xbox One?

 

[DigitalHitmann]

I have a about 18 hour trek home today so let me get home and take a quick rest then I'll answer people's questions to the best of my ability. If there is wifi on board I'll try then, but my flight to here didn't so... Stay frosty.

 

[Jarrod38]

I can see the dates for the beta being announced tomorrow. #SoonTM

 

[2002whitegt]

Really looking forward to this, but I am a bit worried that the dark zone will just be a free for all with everyone just killing just to kill. Glad to see there will be consequences, but I still think people will be jerks.

 

[BeforeU]

Is the car door closing animation still in the game?..

I remember this E3 demo. Literally the most exciting next gen demo I have ever seen. It was and still is.

Too bad, I am almost certain that the game will not look anywhere near this.

 

[Pachimari]

So I pre-ordered the PC version on Amazon, and I got a code I could redeem on the website, but will I only have access to the PC beta then? To be sure, I just pre-ordered the Xbox One version as well but I haven't received a beta code for that one.

 

[T.E.D]

I swear this game looked half decent at one point.

Just to turn your drive-by post around, I hope that the long lack of information means they're hard at work at scrubbing the game up to be best as possible.

I'm sure you can appreciate that I've been burned by Unisoft many times before.

Funny enough I think they're at their best when they're free to be creative and when Yves Guillemot doesn't have the devs at gunpoint.
