Ubisoft brought a brand new title to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last month for the second year running, and once again stole headlines for being a top performer at the exhibition. Following-up from that reveal of Tom Clancy’s The Division is an official question and answer session (Q&A) revealing new details on exactly how the videogame will play.
from paulsemel.com: In this exclusive Q&A, the author of the new technothriller based on "Tom Clancy's: The Division" discusses how it ties to the games while also bringing its own story to a close.
If you're looking to try out an exciting, team-based shoot 'em up, The Division is currently on sale on Steam!
TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
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.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
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.
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.
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.
Dedicated servers, new game engine, open world RPG elements, this game is very much so on my radar. I can't wait to get a hold of the new PlayStation 4 controller and try these shooters. I'm much better with the Xbox controller and haven't really used to playstation one, hopefully I get used to it fast!
I've never played an MMO before, what happens when you die ...do you lose your items, where do you restart ...I'm getting this no question, but it be interesting if they make you lose all your backpack loot on a death to make you really careful about how you play ...I don't know lol
The Division is a confirm purchase from me for my PS4. I can't wait to be playing with my buddies and terrorize new york. The gameplay, the mechanics, the environment, the possibilities and the name itself all satisfies my hunger for an MMO on my lead gaming platform.
"We are optimizing the experience for next gen consoles (PS4™ and Xbox One) only, as we are creating a next-gen game."
This statement alone, is one of the main reasons why I bought the PS4 and the reason as to why I am a happy owner. That E3 gameplay on the PS4, already made me confirm my purchase and fully hooked on this game. I'm so hyped whenever, there's news on The Division!
This game will be much better on Playstation One than it will on Xbox4.
Or maybe the other way around.... hmmmmmmmm......
This game looks ridiculously good. I'm really wondering how everything will work together, how matchmaking will work and how seamless the shift from campaign to pvp battles will be. Ubisoft is making some very interesting and dynamic titles right now. Hopefully I will be playing this game in the fall on my PS4.
