The Division BETA has been officially released and thanks to that we can finally see how the game looks on both consoles.
It's not hard to see that both versions of the game does not specifically differ from each other, and the only difference seems to be subtle color intensity. Could it be an argument in the war about less powerful Xbox?
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.
This is one of the biggest differences I've seen in a miltplat game. Damn.
The Xbox One is truly a powerhouse. The Division looks just as good on Xbox One as it does on PS4 IMO. March can't come any sooner.
@magiciandude (yeah im going to be that guy)
Why did you put "imo"? It is a fact they both look and play alike.
Powerhouse? Lol now thats a joke, neither are powerhouses but the fact still remains PS4 is more powerful in a few respects and in no circumstances should the PS4 version look and play exactly the same and not be better, unless of course forced parity. With all that said PS4 still performs better although very miniscule difference and not worth pointing out.
This isnt the first game to be created equally on both platforms (although very few) and this isnt the first time fans use an example like this to say "oh u see Xbox is just as powerful" lol to then get a slew of other multiplats after that didnt perform up to par. Depends on the devs and some or a few for the sake of parity or whatever reason wont use PS4 to its full potential and will develop the game equally to a lower denominator, these are things that happen all the time. Of course youll get fans that come later on with the mister media bologny and blindness and say " you see xbox is catching up, you see the cloud, you see dx12 lol but its none of that. They did that couple of other games that were greated equally a year ago (Destiny was another that was equal).
Either way it looks good and hope everyone enjoys. I will be trying the beta in a few minutes.

The magician may have exaggerated a bit but he is not off in stating "The Division looks just as good on Xbox One as it does on PS4 IMO"

Your hypocrisy is apparent and the sheer ignorance of your statement shows it.
"This isnt the first game to be created equally on both platforms (although very few) and this isnt the first time fans use an example like this to say "oh u see Xbox is just as powerful" lol to then get a slew of other multiplats after that didnt perform up to par.

Why do you feel the need to having a pissing contest. You should be praising the good work that Ubisoft has done with the parity and instead your knocking the magicians statement and continue to push your own bias agenda.
Bottom line the game looks fantastic on both and any system you purchase the Division on will be a great play through. I am tired of seeing ignorant comments from guys like you as if you speak for the companies or are getting a paycheck. Enjoy the system on the platform you play with your friends.
