@@Nick930 Honestly, even to this day, I still believe - unequivocally - that The Division was originally exactly that; a single player title with a multiplayer component, or perhaps AI teammates like in Ghost Recon. The game was never revealed to be an always-on multiplayer shooter, I genuinely believe this was a decision made at the 11th hour. I still loved The Division, massive downgrade and all, but I only cared to play it solo -- doing solo missions, exploring the city, uncovering the story, but there's no doubt in my mind it would have been FAR better received had Ubi stuck to the SP+MP idea. I'll likely do the same with The Division 2.. if I can ever afford to pick it up >_>

For developers/publishers you have to make your game look great. That means boosting the graphics to the max in a way that consoles just might not be able to handle.

Nice video man! Please do one for division 2!

I think the final game was great looking on release, as well as the music, it had a fantastic visual/audio design that still holds up today IMO. Just the gameplay was dull, I was expecting a bit more than a mundane looter shooter with bullet sponge enemies. I guess because of the E3 demo, I was expecting Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon type gameplay but in an MMO like environment where you could encounter many other players anywhere. I learned this from playing the beta, which I actually had a lot of fun with anyway, the highlight being able to get 7 other friends together, and with a lot of perseverance, actually get all 8 of us into the same Dark Zone instance. It was considerable fun romping through the DZ as essentially an 8 man squad (although the game only technically allows 4 player squads). Because of how tedious it was to accomplish that though, and now knowing the game was just a looter shooter, I wasn't interested in paying out for the released game. I was gifted a key for free though so I eventually did play through the entire game and the DZ, but as expected, it just wasn't as fun and the magic we had from the beta simply wasn't there. The Division 2 looked like more of the same so passed on it entirely, looking like DLC for the original rather than a proper sequel, which is fine if you're a fan of the looter shooter style.

5:48 Not in this specific instance, but in the retail version that particular hanging light asset when reflected in puddles does persist even when the object itself is out of screen space, so it has the same effect as in the trailer, but I believe that is the only exception.

Charles 8777 I didn’t say it felt or looked 8 years apart, although it completely does. Look at the first few PS3 games VS the last few games before the PS4. Huge difference in graphics so the consoles are very capable, its the game devs that have to figure out how to achieve those graphics. Companies like Rockstar or Naughty Dog know exactly how to use their in house game engine to the absolute max. Massive just built the Snowdrop engine for these Divison games so I’m sure they’re still figuring it out. However the PS4 Pro for example is 20 times more powerful than the PS3. Now that companies have more advanced game engines, amazing graphics should be a standard by now. But instead game companies are focused on making money so they rush games out and then downgrade the graphics in order for them to work instead of taking the necessary time to make a game like RDR2.

Also theres a big difference between AC1 and AC3. -Textures are better -Better View distance -Better anti aliasing -Better ambient occlusion -larger map size -more in game content like weapons and clothes. Games like AC3, and GTA5 or even the last of us was completely possible from the very beginning but developer technology wasn’t good enough so it wasn’t the consoles holding the capabilities of graphics back. However now game developers have technology better than what the consoles can ran so there shouldn’t be any reason for bad graphics. Also there is quite a difference between AC1 and AC2

lol i remember the whole gaming world freaking out in the division's demo when he shut the car door xD

To be honest I prefer the hud in the retail as it's a bit more easy for if ur getting shot at u can see who is shooting at you so u can't qwikaly exit from the hud to shoot back then enter back into the hud as the e3 looks really good but it stops ur field of view so u cant see whos shooting at you but maybe if they did a division 3 they may use the e3 hud

playing it on a standart ps4 in 2021 and still looks visually impresive.

The mood. The mood is different. The E3 video looks so desaturated, foggy, snowy, ATMOSPHERIC. The retail version can have more polygons, but the color palette chosen, fog absence etc can't make up for it.

seeing the E3 trailer to this day HURTS!

This definitely should have been a singleplayer focused game with the option of co-op

Great video!

I think in terms of lighting this game is still one of the prettiest games we've got so far. In my opinion it also looks more coherent than the lighting in TD2.

Would have been better if it was a story based game with just you and you’re friends that play through the story with each other rather than a online shooter.

Originally I was a bit disappointed with the downgrade of the graphics but I grew to love it. To this day I have spent so much time in the game and am already doing the same with the squeal.

So I’m guessing no one notice the water puddles in comparison.

I was definitely impressed with the final result, it's still a great looking game - and at least I have the hardware now to run it completely maxed out, unlike back in 2015 :D However... I have to say, the downgrade is - was - stark and extremely noticeable. It's not just about the assets in use, with the debris or the models, but the overall lighting, texture, and animation quality. You downplay a lot of that but I feel that's the primary examples of the downgrade and it's really hard to NOT see how stark the differences are. The lighting and animation quality in the 2013 reveal is magnificent - even for a game released today in 2019 - but none of that was present in the game at launch. Lighting, reflections, textures, animation, flame/spark/fire effects... all of it. Kinda like The Witcher 3, to be honest. That E3 reveal was utterly jaw-dropping, showcasing texture and lighting work that seemed utterly impossible, mindblowing even. The final release build is certainly still the best looking open world game to date (though GR Wildlands is a close runner up) but it pales in comparison to the E3 reveal and still ran like a dead dog with no legs on launch. To say I'm more than a little worried about the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely an understatement :(

Hopefully The Division Heartland will look like this lol

i think the biggest issue with this generation of gaming was the lack of understanding the hardware and what the xbox one and ps4 were actually capable of. i recently went back to play these games and honestly visually they look better then most games coming out in 2022 for the xbox series and ps5 next generation. the difference between the last generation and this is less about visual fidelities and more on optimization witch im all for. because honestly my ryzen 5 3600 and rx 6600 struggle to run these games in 1440 where newer titles run 1440 just fine. i would love to see a simple next gen update for both these games with console 60 fps and higher resolution and support for dlss frs and ray tracing although id never be able to run the latter lol. i started playing for the first time ever and other then the slight performance issues i cant honestly understand why ive owned both these games for years and never played them. im honestly having a blast especially where the first game was set like a week ago

Still: gorgeous game!

It’s a bit sad that they removed the NYPD-styled police cars.

It was a huge downgrade, apart from the things mentioned here like animations, that were mindblowing on the trailer and ended up being generic at retail (dat bottle grab), many things that made that trailer jawdropping were missing in the final game: the high quality smoke effects and its erratic movement, shadows (those bottles again cast incredible shadows in the trailer), ambient occlusion (giving a lot of depth blending everything on screen in a believable manner, completely missing in the final game), motion blur, depth of field, lens flare effects, everything that made that cinematic vibe was gone. It looked pretty good at the end, but the trailer made it look like a breakthrough in visual fidelity, and that didn't happen.

I haven't played The Divisions but the only part I don't like in the retail version is the UI, the grind, and the graphics.

LOL ! Almost all the car models are in watch dogs and the crew

Do dayz gone comparison vs other games. Witcher, horizon, rdr2, assassin creed origin, far cry 5

It wasn’t so much the removed details or visual downgrade, it was the change in gameplay. The demo essentially implied that the whole map would be populated by players that you could randomly encounter; that the city was an open and ongoing multiplayer session. It was the idea of a narrative within an online game that really made The Division a game to be excited for. Now, it’s just about the loot; no longer about the potential social interactions which is ironic considering what the game is about.

This was just a misunderstanding on your side. In the E3 demo, the intro area was actually further into the game, and is a Dark Zone. It's clearly marked as a Dark Zone, and as the view pans out at the end of the trailer you can see it is clearly marked as a special zone on the map, with other areas of the map not functioning that way. The Division does have a fairly massive Dark Zone in it that functions exactly the way you are describing.

Man I was so pissed back then... It doesnt matter who does it, those downgrades are scam on the customers. Yes, The Division still looks amazing, but it wasnt what we were promised. Stuff like the loot that changed from physical world items to this blinking shit, the Survival aspect, the toned down animations, the menus... etc... When they revealed it I was expecting a Fallout game with Survival and PvP. I was massively disappointed. Glad that with The Division 2, they were much more honest from the start and it turns out to be an amazing experience.

Totally agree. I expected it to be the same way

Seeing as they had three more years of development after that E3 presentation, it's not really anything they can say to excuse that severe downgrade, still had a lot of fun playing the game 👍

Great video man! I love The Division 1, is an amazing game, the plot, the graphics, the sound and the ambience are outstanding, the real downgrade for me was The Division 2 (way less cool game).

i loved this game

How about reduce your contrast? The E3 demo has better lighting reflex, yes. The gameplay got composed to have "movie mode", it looks dimmed. Despite all the props added.

I think you're misunderstanding ray tracing and reflections a little. Those are full-scene reflections, ray tracing has never been needed to pull those off. It's just far more expensive to render than SSR

I'm not misunderstanding it at all. I never said it was ray tracing. I was clarifying that the method that was used was likely NOT ray tracing because it wasn't a common method back in 2013. Ray tracing existed, but was never really used for video games. I wanted to clarify here that it wasn't ray tracing because of the many individuals who have been commenting saying "Ray tracing!" in titles like Anthem when ray tracing was never implemented in the slightest.

@@Nick930 Thanks for responding to clarify! Though might I suggest different wording. "This type of effect would've required too much effort to incorporate in the large open world of the final game, (still no mention of a method for handling reflections until...) especially considering ray tracing was not a realistic option for game development in the early 2010s." This made it sound like the "type of effect" you were referring to was ray tracing that the final game didn't have but the e3 demo could've had. I hope you see how that could sound like it. :)
