The most surprising revelation on E3 this year was probably the upcoming Ubisoft’s hybrid title Tom Clancy’s The Division. Instead of zombies, the apocalyptic scenario here will become more coherent and realistic, a deadly fabricated virus will infect the world’s population and chaos will overcome order in simply five days. What’s truly intriguing, however, is the combination of different gaming genres that for the first time seems to be reaching the next-generation level of hybrid games.
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.
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.
It's about time that the gaming companies start creating something TRULY NEW, too bad it won't come out for PC tho :(
No words can describe how truly excited I am for this game.
This game will get me back into online multiplayer. Ill play BF4 no doubt but in the last couple years I've only played new games online for a few month before getting bored. The division looks like a game I could play for a long time.
The graphic really catched my eyes along with FF XV and MGS V. I wonder what Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica can do with PS4...
Btw, is this game have SP?
