This is still my number one pet peeve of this game.

Ok, we have 1 WTC that looks sort of ish correct. We have the Verizon building which looks.... well.. ugly, but so does the Verizon building. The Woolworth building which looks janky as fuck, and then not a single other lower Manhattan building I recognize.

Why can PGR on the 360 launch get lower Manhattan so accurate, and this game can't be bothered to try.

Those building models are PS2 level in the background. I just don't understand why they didn't spend more time there.

Like with Unity they probably look much better up close. If those buildings were fully rendered out I can't imagine a pc or console in this day and age that could run the game properly. Especially since they seem to be going for 1 to 1 or close to scale once again.

LODs man, the LODs! Probably not enough time/man power to create high quality level of detail models and probably rely almost solely on automated systems to create them now. Similar type of thing to Assassin's Creed they are probably mostly computer generated including the distance of when the LOD should pop etc.

Also pretty early screenshots so hopefully it is something they tweak when they make it to the polish stage of the game but is very rarely Ubisoft games make it to that point :/

Is this info new?

http://www.vgleaks.com/how-to-play-my-game-by-ubisoft-the-division-user-interface-style-guide

I’m not sure.

It’s a kind of instruction set for users or something in that vein.

I don't know if there are new screenshot in the guide, but it's quite interesting to see some internal Ubi stuff and the goals they're aiming to.

It's Ubisoft Massive, a completely unrelated studio to the studios that work on games like WD, AC etc. although they have assisted the development of some Ubi titles. Check their track record.

I have more faith then, did they work on the future soldier?

I loved that game!

New or not, this is some interesting read.

Nada.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

God damn, those screenshots look pretty good. If Massive can deliver that IQ at 1080p and stable 30 fps on PS4, I will let them suck my wallet.

 

[Corpsepyre]

As good as these screens look, I just can't see myself getting excited for Ubisoft games anymore, sadly. Wish that wasn't the case as I used to wait anxiously for new Prince of Persia games back in the day.

 

[twobear]

Great concept art. Can't wait to see real footage of this game.

 

[jim2point0]

I like how people are coming into this bumped thread thinking the screenshots in the OP are new and commenting based on that =)

 

[Hendrick's]

They are really still sticking to a 2014 release?

OK.

 

[Projectjustice]

After Watchdogs I really hope Ubisoft has learned a their lesson.

 

[FrontalMonk]

After watchdogs and unity, I think I'll wait for GAF impressions to slide in before jumping into the division.

OK.

Read the dates of the Op.

OK.

IIRC, the beta was rumoured for March.

good job nitpicking on screens that are almost 1 year old.

 

[vesvci]

Game looks really good. I'll pick it up after me Ubisoft embargo ends late next year.

I wonder if they'll release the Ubisoft ACU or Ubisoft FC4 version of this game.
