The Division....Developer

Caught my eye when i was downloading The Division Beta was the fact that Ubisoft are the publisher of this game and not the developer which surprised me having thought that they were solely responsible for the entire game.

Funny when i look on Google regarding this i don't see any mention of the developer listed by the side of the game on the xbox live download section.

Unless this is actually a Division of Ubisoft........No pun intended

I thought it was someone from Scandanavia, super massive something or other? Can't be arsed to google it.

Google it for me Brum.

That Massive sounds familiar and was one of the two words listed as the developer.

Haha! Old habits die hard at the Bullring...

The Bullring,the tower ballroom.the lacarno,top rank night club those were the days....

I went to the bullring once

I got lost there just looking for the exit.

Couldn't work out if it was this door, or Matador...

Well you country bumpkinsare not used to the Big City are you .

Im glad i went back to P4 version

Obviously there is time to fix this but i new in my own mind that the Playstation 4 version seemed smoother and looked nicer .

To be fair the PS4 version was a better experience after trying to play it on Xbox Thursday night but that for me was to do with the servers.

It's a shame that the 2 versions weren't compared with the same amount of action going on really and I can't say whilst playing on Xbox I noticed any of the issues shown in this vid.

I just tried this on PC and it really is a crying shame that these consoles are only capable of 30fps rather than the more desirable 60fps.

Yeah and the playstation 4 has the 8gig of flashy Ram and it beggers belief why they release new tech with tech restrainments.

I really hope console wise next time around they bring to the table a really powerful console that can but most mid range PCs to shame.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have similar Steam Machine builds with added extra,have a basic decent Playstation 5 And Xbox Two specification and then have the added extra of buying the optional upgrade,be it more ram,processor or better graphic card option.

Obviously this isn't going to happen but it would be nice as Timey doesn't do Basic .

Off topic........SkY Q review March 11th when i get all my equipment

To be fair mate, it was dipping when nothing was going on too. I personally think it's disgraceful. The Bone might have been settling for a slightly lower resolution in some games, but it shouldn't have screen tear, full stop. I haven't seen reports of screen tear being an issue with other AAA titles, so why this one? Smacks of rushed release again to me, even with all the delays it's already encountered.

A bit like The Crew. A lot of fun, but with your critics hat on, one has to wonder why it isn't better. Time being money is the most likely answer.

So how does the PC beta look graphically? Going to try to download it this afternoon for a quick peak.

My point being if you're gonna compare at least use the exact same scenario!

I do wonder what the PS4 can actually do framerate wise seeing as it doesn't drop below 30 once proves that it's capable of more, it would make a massive difference to the feel of it if it could manage a solid 40fps.

The guy mentions a clean bill of health on PS4 although you'll notice the pop in on both consoles around the 30 second mark!!

Be quick as I think it finishes tonight doesn't it?

I don't see a huge difference graphically mate but it's the framerate that makes all the difference!
It might be because I play PC on a monitor and obviously sit close to the screen why graphically I don't see a huge difference!

I've changed my mind, I've put my glasses on and sat back a foot from my screen, left it on the high preset and hitting a solid 60fps it looks stunning.
Now uploading a vid to Youtube!

To late to download it as its finished.

The Division Jorkila styleeee!!

Looking good! 22 mins left...

Bit stuttery from the new editing software. Certainly doesn't happen in game!

A bit

Looks to me that another game is suffering from the bandwidth issues of the controller on the internal Hard disk. Not noticed any problems running The Division on my Xbox from an external drive. The USB 3.0 controller has 5Gbps of bandwidth where the internal has a lot lower bandwidth.

Really would like to see the Developers put on their products "better on External storage". Also the problems seem to have gone away withe the 1TB versions of the console as they are hybrid drives.

Just my 2 cents. PLayed it on both PS4 and X1 and didn't notice any really differences, the load times on X1 seemed shorter, but again that's the faster spool time of the external HDD and bandwidth.

Could have been just a bad day at the office when playing the open beta on the Xbox One last Thursday when quite honestly the servers were a mess and nothing was right and there were plenty of connection errors with codes that only Ubisoft know then meaning of and many in game glitches.

You make an awful lot of sense.

Are you lost?

Nope, just had this whole debate with GTA 5. It ran better on external drives due to limits of the IDE/SATA controller on the mainboard of the Xbox One. Digital Foundary I think it was.

Most USB 3.0 external drives are spooling at 7200rpm, where as the internal spools up at 5400rpm. Makes a massive difference when loading games etc.

If you Google it, there is proof out there that most slowdown on Xbox One is caused by the 500GB hard disk. They changed the hard drive with the 1TB version, that contains a hybrid SSD to improve loading times.

It dawned on me after reading this that I used to use a usb 3 hdd with my previous Xbox so no prizes for what I've resorted to with my current one

Wrapping the chord of a USB 2.0 HDD around your hand and then beating the Bone to death with it?

It's a shame you're such a fan boy to be honest mate

You'd love Forza 6

Get it right mate. I'm a PC elitist now.

A snob you are
