In case you aren't already familiar with it, here's the E3 trailer:

Now, they just recently released the following video showing off the Snowdrop Engine. A new engine designed specifically for The Division on next-gen consoles, and it looks very impressive:

Considering this will be coming out for PC as per:

I am extremely excite. :woop:

This is probably the biggest thing on my radar right now. Looking forward to this.

Was going to post the Snowdrop video a few days ago, but Modacity wasn't working ;_;

Snowdrop is a pretty stupid name for an engine, especially when comparing it to Frostbite. They should have called it something like the Alpine engine if they just had to have something winter related.

Name probably has something to do with how intricate the composition of snow flakes are when put under a microscope. Now, take a bunch of flakes and make an entire drop out of them and you an HD SD :p

After Blacklist, I'm never buying a ubisoft game before it's released and has had proper reviews.

This will be the first Ubisoft game I have bought since Chaos Theory if it turns out to be good. But I'm not doing shit until reviews come out because Ubisoft's track record is terrible.

[PlasbianX]

Watch them pull an EA and put out a bugged as shit game.

Fixed that for all of us.


Watch them pull an EA and put out a bugged as shit game.

Just imagine, with all the shit that happened with BF3 and they still managed to regress with BF4.

I don't know about you guys, but about the only things remotely compelling about what's been seen so far are the gaphics, and that tablets can be used to play. whoop-dee-doop.

Nothing unique here, just move on.

[Cortexian]

I haven't seen another massively multiplayer open-world 3rd person-shooter before... Have you?

Destiny :mech2:

owait, that's FPS :saddowns:

It's Ubisoft, their prime directive to bugged so far up to the hilt that it bleeds on release for every game they make.
Almost like Paris Hilton except Ubisoft don't generally keep video logs of the experience.

And not on PC either.

And not on PC either.
See: Bad.

I mean, they've had years to add mouse and keyboard support to their consoles and I'd consider using them. A lot of other PC gamers that won't switch because of that might consider it as well, but unfortunately it looks like they don't want any more business.

I won't be buying this generation of consoles anyway, since I've effectively bought 12 of them for the cost of my new PC... More like: I can't afford to buy any of them because now I'm poor.
