'The Division' Claimed to Be the Most Detailed Video Game Ever

Hardcore Gamer: A bold statement to be sure, but one Ubisoft is certainly doing a good job backing up.

[TomShoe]

It looks like a next gen game.

That's the highest praise I can give it.

[ZombieKiller]

Yeah really TomShoe....

Claimed to Be the Most Detailed Video Game Ever

Give me a break. Looks damn good but it's not out yet. Don't base judgement off of a few videos. Let's see some more of this and other games in their real form before we hop on the hype train.

Tell me that AFTER I see MGSV since Kojima is known for detail amongst other things.

[ifritAlkhemyst]

Kojima and detail? Puhlease...

[Prime157]

To be fair, kojima tweeted that he was jealous of gta5 as an open world game.

I'm skeptical of this type of PR though.

[mikeslemonade]

Yea lol @ people claiming it's best looking yet. Can people be somewhat more objective. Maybe you were just hyped about a trailer that you just saw 30 seconds ago.

Most detailed.. maybe? Trailer didn't show something that proved that. The only thing that looked amazing was the car texture, there was also the feeling of weight in certain objects, and the hit detection was impressive too. People are just jumping the gun getting overhyped about something.

Guys is VGX worth watching anymore after the annoucements?? I got other stuff to watch.

[medman]

Zombie Killer you must have missed Kojima's reaction to seeing The Division when it was unveiled at E3. Hideo himself said he was blown away by it and that he was a little depressed because MGSV was not matching that graphical fidelity. Stop your nonsense.

[Lalanana]

hmm.. from what I have seen so far.. I must agree.. Those graphics looks sick.. mindblowing...

[Snookies12]

Agreed. The attention to detail is simply incredible.

[mikeslemonade]

Sorry.. edit

Thought you said best game you have seen so far.

[ProjectVulcan]

The visuals in the latest engine demo looked slightly poorer than the ones I seen elsewhere. It might just be the stream compression but the higher quality videos I saw of it a few months ago it had immensely clean image quality. It barely looked like a game, now it does because you could see the imperfections every game has.

I wonder if the same thing happened to it as happened to watchdogs here. High end PC devkits demonstrating the game at E3 reveal (like watchdogs in 2012), actual console footage tonight.

Massive downgrade? No, but noticeable, at least to my eyes.

[Muffins1223]

No...just no...this game was original built for only console and the engine.....it was just 4 or so months ago announced for pc,was never planned for pc. The core of the engine was built to run on console and the game was built to be on console originally.Sure the pc may look a little better but what your seeing is gonna be identical or very close to console footage.

[ProjectVulcan]

The game was clearly built on a PC devkit with PC hardware like every game.

Just because it was originally developed for the consoles does not mean it can't be downgraded.

You only have to see the original Unreal Engine 4 tech demo, which was originally intended for the consoles FIRST, running on a PC devkit last year.

Then compare it to the same tech demo running on actual console hardware a year later, with pretty huge downgrades. http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Developers when they started were not actually sure of the console final specs until later on in the development cycle, which is pretty usual.

They usually build them on a PC environment with a target spec in mind.

So it comes as little surprise to me that the original E3 footage looked better than this, because that was probably PC footage on a devkit platform, and that this was actual console footage on PS4/Xbox one.

I suspect more and more than developers were slightly surprised with the performance of the next gen consoles, being a fair bit less than they expected it to be a while back.

[majiebeast]

Till they downgrade it like Watchdogs. Dont believe Ubi's lies.

[lets_go_gunners]

Ubisoft is the publisher..not the developer.

[KiRBY3000]

really? didnt know that. thanks for sharing. ;)

[KiRBY3000]

seems like Massive is owned by ubisoft.
says so even under their logo

http://www.massive.se/

[TheLiztress]

It looks good and I really do hope it does live up to that claim. But time will tell, I think.

[ricochetmg]

This is the reason I am going next gen.

[HeavenlySnipes]

I see this and wonder why Assassin's Creed wasn't delayed to make it a proper next gen experience

[MatrixxGT]

Because they wanted sales from the pool of about 150 million ps360 owners. Its also saved and made them money so their next gen games can have resources to put in detailed graphics.

[JohnkyKong]

Install base is too big for last gen, too small for current gen. The top-grossing franchises must continue to print money. Once the current gen gets a solid install base, then move your major titles exclusively on those systems.

[modesign]

theyre making a next gen AC game, they just wanted to get more revenue from the next gen consoles so they added a couple little things (wind, water, couple more pixels) to the next gen version to milk the next gen cow.

[HeavenlySnipes]

They could have released Watch Dogs early 2014 (all consoles and PC) and saved Assassins Creed for Fall

I doubt they will be making much current gen games anymore starting next year anyway

[Eldyraen]

They needed something for the holiday season. Plus its AC so knew it would sell.

AC5 for me is one of my favorites though with a world that reminds me more of the first in its own way. Totally different setting but it had the same sense of wanderlust. Ezio I think was a more interesting character still but what can I say--I love pirates.

As others said though AC is basically 'the' game of Ubisoft today and revenue it brings is likely going to go help other next gen games on top of a true next gen AC.

[ape007]

looks absolutely amazing, this is the GRAW of this gen

[Hellbringer]

Star Citizen says hello.

Should The Division not even come to PS3 and Xbox360? Or was it a fake message?

KiRBY3000
What's with spaceships, space stations, planetary surfaces, characters?

[KiRBY3000]

oh yeah man, space is so full of details.

EDIT: @below

i know the spaceships are incredibly detailed supposedly, but it doesnt compare with an entire city in my book.

[Are_The_MaDNess]

you forget the inside of the ships and the ships themselfs.
have you seen the space hangar yet?!

[modesign]

wow a space hangar, im sure they went the extra mile on the space hangars.lol

[modesign]

i hope you didnt give too much money on that "bridge to nowhere".

[TheDarpaChief]

I think its bittersweet the final tom clancy game will possibly change everything

[Skate-AK]

Why would it be the last one? They own the rights to his name. They can make as many as they want.

[TheDarpaChief]

They're going to use a dead guys name?

[Skate-AK]

I wouldn't doubt it.

[TheDarpaChief]

That's a discomforting thought

[Indo]

The next few years will be exciting.

[Stevino321]

This game will most definitely not disappoint.

[0pie]

typical pr bullshit from ubisoft. Dont ever trust them. They are a bunch of lying fuck who will say anything to overhype a game just to sell well.

Have you forgot what they said about assassin creed 1 and what was the final product?

[inf3cted1]

"Most Detailed Video Game Ever"

I doubt that, because im pretty sure it doesnt surpass the detail CryEngine has.

[mochachino]

Well as strange as it seems, my first thought literally was, "those trash bags are absolutely beautiful"

[sovietsoldier]

when i see a used condom in the gutter then i will praise it as being the most detailed game ever, till then i will hold that from it.

[Morgue]

Freedom Fighters......

[Nodoze]

Was an AWESOME game. Very underrated. Loved the sewer base, and the gunplay was fun.

I have been waiting for a new one for awhile.

[Morgue]

I'm looking forward to this game a lot and yeah, Freedom Fighters was very underrated. I still throw it in from time to time.

[CyrusLemont]

It seems the people's skepticism on here is due to the lack of watching the footage ubisoft has released, particularly that 10 minute demo released back at E3. Never in any video game (Including Star Citizen which mind you looks amazing) have I seen such detail in the WHOLE environment. I mean this is the stuff you would see in a linear action/adventure game by Naughty Dog (Who's next game will probably better than real life) where the main path is hand crafted and the vistas are just cardboard or low poly models. The Division is taking that linear detail and making it consistent in a huge nonlinear open world.

This is the stuff of the next generation, and while I do believe The division is the most detailed game at the moment, I KNOW (And so should you) that there are going to be titles that will probably easily match and outmatch this.

[Trekster_Gamer]

I don't really care if it the best looking or not, it does look next gen. I hope everything else is good.. Story..gameplay etc..

[notyobizhwispndmymny]

Can't wait for this game. Tom Clancy was and will always be my favorite author and I really hope this game does his memory justice. The last great TOM CLANCY inspired IP.
