A new interview for Tom Clancy's The Division discusses the beta, graphics downgrades and parity deals, and single-player.
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.
You heard it first from Massive. "We address every console as its own version, we try to stay away the thing where you go for the least common denominator and everyone suffers for it." YESS! I hope the PC and PS4 versions don't get held back. I aside from the graphics, hope this game is truly fleshed out and fun. I'll be playing LBP3 and COD: AW till this game comes out. I already know my PC probably wont be able to handle it, so I'll be getting it on PS4. Hurry up 2015!
Release window?
"2015"... lmao
"Yes that's one big window"
I hope this game does well. I was thinking a lot about what was said about WD during this interview
"Parity between platforms" Great, ubi is at it again with that BS.
Hopefully this game can get the story part right as well as the gameplay.
I also hope there is a wide variety of enemies not just the usual thugs.
Yeah, I really hope that they don't go for parity between the X1 & PS4. I hope they push for the best textures & frame-rate on the X1.
They have no choice but to push for the highest possible resolution on the PS4, otherwise there will be rioting in the streets.
