The Division - 15 minutes of new gameplay

Ah, an event. I was able to say, didn't Ubisoft put an NDA on the game. I couldn't post anything from the previous beta. Didn't help that my name was plastered everywhere.

Thats some poorly captured footage. Alpha looked even way better then that.
Probably will be removed soon also. Embargo for that is january 22.
Edit: Guess that changed.

Man, that Ubisoft downgrade is amazing.

Did you even have a chance to watch the video before posting that?

Game looks good. Still not sure about the combat, since it seems like you're mainly just staying behind one piece of cover for the entire fight, but looking forward to checking it out during the beta.

I don't think I am hyped for this game anymore or even want to buy it. the game looks very generic to me with one boring mission after another. even the shooting is kinda boring . I couldn't even see who he was shooting at :/

I think I am going to pass on this one. at least I liked the concept of watch dogs.

I don't think you lose anything by waiting 6 months and seeing if the game has a large community of people who like it.

In the alpha, you were forced to change cover to cover. AI would flank and they woul chuck various kinds grenades at you to get you to move.
 
Doesn't even look close to that game play video released a few days ago. How can this company get away with this bullshit of always showing games running on high end pcs and then releasing downgraded games that look much worst ...fake advertising UBI

Gameplay and impressions from Videogamer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSXmhKllDwk

No microtransactions confirmed:

And is there any microtransactions in the game? We know there’s going to be paid DLC…

It’s one of the things that we looked at because if people like the game and want to purchase extra things I don’t mind that. But microtransactions, as it’s defined, we do not have them. You cannot spend a little bit of money and fast-track to get better gear or pay to win or vanity items. We do not have that. The short answer is no, we don’t have microtransactions, period.

This post isn't by me, it's by a guy with the same username as me.
Being honest the 15 minutes footage was very boring. Just a standard cover shooter all-around.

And i'm not really a fan of the damage markers, but i'm positive you can disable it.

At least we have the beta coming to try it by ourselves.
 
within the first 40 seconds of gameplay the game is already doing the cookie cut "GET ME INTO THE SECUERITY I CAN HACK" line and it's so upsetting and unoriginal.

Generic game.
 
Man, that Ubisoft downgrade is amazing.

Depends on the version IMO, which version is being shown off in these videos?
edit: looks like xb1 footage? Makes sense that it does not look like the PC footage they showed at the announcement. I can see quarter res alpha everywhere, a lot less shadowed light sources, and rough IQ.

Yes, I did. Are you going to actually argue it matches the reveal video? Come on.

Game looks very good, but this thread will still be a collection of "downgrade" "watchdogs" etc, sadly.

Maybe after this Ubi will catch a break as they seem to not show anything "before" to avoid this shitstorm...
 
What's the fucking sound (as in: sounds like two people fucking with flesh on flesh action) around 10:32?
It just keepd on going. Or is that a footstep glitch?

But looks like a nice game to play for me.

And people, saying that it was downgraded from the initial reveal is kinda getting old. Better focus on the gameplay now.
It's not going to look like the E3 reveal.
 
Look at that HUD LMAO I pass, but then again, I dont know what I was expecting of this game in the first place, looks like a new generic tps.
 
So, uhm... where is this game?

I wonder if they will leave the old original shaders in the game data again like with watch dogs...

the issue is that ubi seem to give out pre-release stuff with 10 times better lighting and shaders then tone it all back before release, if they would stop doing that I might care again.

Also: no microtransactions.
I guess this will follow Destiny initial commerce plan, with just expansions maybe?

Good on Ubi though, I will be there on day 1.

Well, that looks boring. I will definitely wait a few months after release before looking into it again. Destiny burned me, and this looks to be similar to it.
 
Admittedly I haven't been following this game closely, but my initial impression was that this was to be some kind of post world collapse survival game. This looks more like a cover-based shootbang with bullet-sponge characters and generic objectives...?

Kinda glad I watched this, though. My desire for a MMO survival game on consoles almost made me blind-buy this.
