Guys, I know what you need. More Tom Clancy’s The Division. And if you step into the dark alleyway that has the oddly convenient factor of being able to muffle loud noises, I’ll show you a couple of new ones. That’s right, follow me…
Thanks to MP1st, here’s a head-busting two entirely new screenshots, one of which shows a serenly-devastated New York landscape, the other a rooftop battle. Say what you like about the game being delayed and details not forthcoming, but as far as shooter MMOs go, The Division looks bloody marvellous on a visual level. And I’m digging that HUD.
Survival games seem to be all the rage right now, and The Division follows hot on the heels of other well received genre games such as DayZ and Rust. Mark my words, this genre is going to get bigger in the years to come.
Here’s a question that Gavin asked in our office chat, that I’ve gleefully stolen from him: Does the Tom Clancy name still help sell a game to you? Sure, he may have had input on the early games, but as time went on, that input dwindled down to signing off on the use of his name as a brand.
Does that brand have any impact on the game that you buy today? I for one, don’t feel it. That, and I’m plenty sick of having to type it out every single time. Words are hard yo.
Tom Clancy’s The Division (SEE?) is out one of these days. Probably in 2015, according to rumblings on the net.

Tom Clancy, what a smart man.
In his last co-authored novel, Command Authority, published in December,
the Russian president, a ruthless former KGB agent, seeking to return
Russia to its glory days, invades Ukraine. Hmm, I wonder if Putin is a
Clancy fan …

The Tom Clancy name sells the game for me, if it’s a. a good game and b. tactical.
A tactical survival game in the “Clancy Universe” should be awesome… if it stays true to the Clancy name.

I don’t care what random name they whack onto a franchise. It’s like a celebrity product endorsement. It means nothing.

The video games used to be based off of his writing. But how do they do that now when everything is built around on-line co op? Considering he is also dead RIP his name lives on like Colin McRae Rally.

Can’t wait for this. I want all you people on PS4 to add me and we can go on adventures. I showed my non-gaming partner that Snowdrop Engine trailer and we both gawped.
However, I’d like to see another character in screenshots aside from Delsin Rowe’s cousin / Beanie Man 2.

Repeat: The only game that will definitely force me to get a PS4 (if not purchased this year), and a proper, constant, internet connection. 10Mbps like connection.
PS4 savings = R3000.00 today, +R1k end of the month.
