Game Rant:
We chatted with Julian Gerighty, the associate creative director for The Division, about similarities being drawn between the game and the blockbuster Destiny.
Now that Ubisoft’s The Division is firmly on the horizon – and the recent closed beta only just shuttering this past week – gamers have started getting excited for the third-person shooter. Taking place in New York City following the outbreak of a biological terrorist attack, the game looks to blend its post-apocalpytpic aesthetic quite well with its multiplayer core. Of course, the multiplayer aspect of the title has already drawn comparisons from players about similarities to Bungie’s popular first-person shooter, Destiny.
It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
It's been almost 10 years since we first stepped foot in Ubisoft's extraction shooter, The Division and it looks like the developer will celebrate by giving fans a chance to replay the experience in "definitive edition" form.
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.
I know some people still play Destiny but I think if you got it when it came out, you've done everything there was to do so long ago that there's no way you can still be playing.
The Division is new and looks more intriguing. To think that it's needing to 'pull Destiny players away' to be successful is a fallacy. If people can play Destiny for 15 months and not be bored stiff repeating themselves, then those people don't need to move on, they need to stay on Destiny.
Honestly after seeing what the story offers so far and avoidance of the god-awful loot system, its already a few steps ahead of Destiny in my opinion.
