Ubisoft On The Division's Destruction: "The destruction effect is not pre-baked in the game"

DSOGaming writes: "Tom Clancy's The Division looks sexy as hell and today Ubisoft revealed some new information about its Snowdrop engine. According to the French company, the destruction system is procedural and real-time, and nothing is pre-baked or pre-computed."

My only question is does it stay destroyed or does it reset itself when you leave the area?
I hope it stays destroyed.

jahfen833784d ago

I'm guessing it won't stay destroyed, because people would level entire cities and there would be no more buildings to enter.

Excalibur3784d ago (Edited 3784d ago )

Well we may or may no have the ability to level whole buildings, just damage them or things around them, I haven't seen anything about that one way or the other.

mewhy323784d ago

This game is going to look great in 1080p on the PS4.

irepbtown3784d ago

This game (so far) looks great even without the destruction however that is seriously the icing on the cake.

A cake which I'm craving.

Autodidactdystopia3784d ago

RIP Tom Clancy

even though most of the games were bad, this one might not be. looks to be pretty impressive so far n stuff

Caleb_H3784d ago

Am I the only one that thinks that would be awesome? Maybe you could rebuild those destroyed buildings with supplies or something.

nveenio3783d ago

It would be cool if the destruction would reset weekly. I know people could totally wreck a city, but it might be cool to at least have the destruction hand on for a little while so that the effects of a battle could have a lasting feel.

Is the game footage from pc or ps4 ? This looks like its running on high end but I may be wrong

sigfredod3784d ago

It was pc footage, but i know ps4 version will not be that far behind, will be very close to this

cyguration3784d ago

If E3 was anything to go by... it was on PC.

dragon823784d ago

The gameplay video from the Ubisoft E3 conference was shown on a PS4.

KRUSSIDULL3784d ago

It's an online open world RPG. And with the with dedicated servers (cloud) it could stay destroyed at least for a while. It's just a simple save file the game can load. Skyrim does this with dead bodies and items stay in place for 7 days in-game time.

DestinyHeroDoomlord3784d ago

I did not know that about Skyrim, really cool

Dasteru3784d ago

Tell that to my copy of Skyrim, bodies disappear instantly upon entering a different area. I can kill someone right next to a door and then go through the door and back and the body will be gone.

ajax173784d ago

I'm betting it'll be similar to Infamous Second Son; where certain landmarks stay destroyed.

theDivision3784d ago

They have said there is a limit to the destruction caused, so you won't not be able to shoot a buildings foundation until it collapses. Though they haven't said anything about regeneration.

rocky0475863784d ago

Lol, that's what "prebaked" means. It means that it's not just there for you to destroy only for you to come back to it and it's actually still there.

deecee333783d ago

This looks FULLY next gen. Story sounds cool too. Hopefully they'll have second editions of the consoles for sale when it releases.

Dat graphics and physics fidelity. Bona fide next-gen material.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3784d ago

So far they have only shown this running on ps4.

I remeber when devs used to always show the 360 version of games. lol times have changed quickly.

I hope the new trailer was not pc version.

JeffGUNZ3784d ago

I thought they already said in previous interviews it would be running the same on each console. I can't wait for this game, is their a concrete launch date?

jackanderson19853784d ago

i thought Ubisoft and Rockstar always showed their games only on Sony consoles due to a marketing deal put in place?

seanpitt233784d ago

Yeah they have only shown ps4 footage and that was done at E3.

looks too good to be true
but i hope to god it is.

this is my most hyped game in my 32 years of being on this earth

JeffGUNZ3784d ago

I'm feeling the same way, but 28 years lol

GarrusVakarian3784d ago (Edited 3784d ago )

I feel the same way, i want to let my hype grow and take me over but im weary if the final product is going to be anywhere near as good as this looks so far.

Fingers crossed. Just look at the picture for this article....the amount of litter, the snow, the lighting, the attention to detail. Amazing.

ramiuk13784d ago

the video and the things they was showing brought a tear to my eye,i had a twitch in my pants when the snow melted!!

be amazing if it was 1080p.

GarrusVakarian3784d ago

@ramiuk1

It will most definitely be 1080p, the question we should be asking is if it will be 60fps.....im thinking it will probably be 30fps on consoles (which is fine for me with this kind of game), but 60fps would be nice.

Fizzgig3784d ago

I agree, and I've been on the earth almost 35 years!

I am in absolute agreement with the OP 👌

shinoff2183377d ago

I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.

-Foxtrot376d ago

Multiplayer or even co-op

If it was always a single player game then that's how it is

Inverno376d ago

It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.

Flawlessmic376d ago

Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.

What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.

Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.

Hofstaderman376d ago

I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.

Dagexon376d ago

I didn't notice your comment before I added mine.
But good times indeed
