Ubisoft expects The Division to be one of the largest new IP launches in history

Stop trying, it was a dumb comment, let it go. Plenty of videos out to show you how much was not downgraded. Plus there may be more graphic options at release.
I feel it holds up pretty well in the beta compared to the original reveal:
There are differences, but it's not an astronomical gap.

My Gold Edition is waiting. I'll happily be part of that number.

Is it really a new IP if it's still under the Tom Clancy moniker?

Did I have fun playing the Closed Beta? Yes
Will I play the Open Beta next week? Yes
Do I plan on picking this up? Yes
Do I care if it doesn't look like the videos from 3 years ago? Not in the least

There will be no "graphic options" at release, the game is done, they're only polishing the game, thats it.

Oops, my bad, I read "the" and not "one of", too tired I guess! Then I agree, the game has its chances.
I agree this is hardly the thread to discuss it, but I hope people continue to call it out as they see it.
As for expectations, I can see this breaking records especially considering the destiny fanbase coming over. Retention though? That's what I'm more intenrested in.
Can we just forget about that stuff? The only noticeable thing that was downgraded was the lighting system. It's a fucking good game that deserves to be a success based on what we've played.
That's not what he meant... But that vid proves that lots of stuff originally shown is still in.
I hope we get a The Division 2 at some point if this is as successful as they hope it will be.

Jesus, is this still a thing?
So you'd say Splinter Cell and The Division is the same IP? :lol
I have and I still stand by my statement, not a large downgrade. Also I believe it was dev interview that hinted at more at release. You have an entire thread telling you that you are wrong, but keep trying!
we'll see at launch.

it maybe, played the beta and convinced me. if they deliver what they promised this game will be great, the gameplay is there.
terrible first post.
terrible first post.
you trying too hard
Wasn't it though? Or is that your point?
Yes? I don't think anyone tries to lump in Wii Sports and Wii Fit together.

Exactly, it will be interesting to see how the game is a year and half from now.
The one thing I remember about the division beta was that it's the first time i've walked through a city street and felt like people have lived there in terms of how dirty it was and how much shit was all over the place. The little details like that mean more than texture resolution or anti aliasing.

They're even copying Destiny's sales projections now

From what I hear, pretty damn good. I've only played with friends, but the partying system is really simple and good, plus very few loading screens. It makes Destiny's look pretty shitty from what I remember.
Why, What else have they copied? This game is nothing like Destiny, it's the better game judging from the Beta.They're even copying Destiny's sales projections now
So should Rockstar be kicked in the arse as well? Your forgetting their first GTAV trailer.
Where did all those trees go?
thats not how game development works

Destiny is the biggest new IP launch in history though...

Amazing! I have to say that was beautiful!
I hope this is bigger than Destiny tbh, I'd like to see them expand this universe even more.

I really hope it is successful, for me it's one of the more promising titles from Ubi's recent history. It's a shame it's online only though :/
No it's not, it's a dire necessity in the effort of actually making games. Publicizing vertical slices is definitely not, but make not mistake that the creation of vertical slices is really, really important for the production of games, but they will also never be nearly fully representative of anything in the final game.
Like somehow the launch game will look worse than the beta?
What? I think you have that backwards.

With the success of destiny, the growing importance of connected games, and the great word of mouth this game has been getting, im expecting this to do some pretty insane numbers. Especially considerinf alot of people Im friends with on xbox and playstation just seem to move onto whatever the next big multiplayer game is.
I'm guessing he feels the console versions look a lot worse than the debut which was presumably a PC build.
again with this shit?
Anyway i see this happening very easily, game is being talked a lot between my gaming friends

Wait is this a Watch Dogs thread?
Most (obviously not all) of the footage and screenshots posted in the various threads were from the PS4/XO beta.
I can confirm the PC build is absolutely gorgeous.
Edit: Downgrade or no downgrade, who actually thought the game would look like the reveal on consoles? :\ There was no "Running in real time on a PS4" posted anywhere. If they were getting that out of a PS4/XO they would have been screaming from every mountain top they could climb.

I don't think so, Ubisoft. Destiny currently holds that crown and "multiplatform Halo" is a pretty easy selling point.
Not a reflection on the quality of The Division's gameplay, but the game looks hella generic to the untrained eye. It's a gritty shooter in a post-apocalyptic world. Nothing special there.

It's got a strong release date, too. People had every right to worry about its sales potential back when February and March were more crowded, but as titles got delayed to weeks or even months later, the prospects vastly improved. It's the only game of its kind out in all of March now, and it will easily dominate the charts for that month.
It really does which makes me question why Ubi bothered with the trailer. They had to know that it would open themselves to this kind of scrutiny.
