Ubisoft on The Division: No Platform Parity, Beta, Et Cetera
In the aforementioned interview, The Division’s design director, Martin Hultberg, hinted strongly at the possibility of an alpha or beta for the game sometime prior to its official launch next year.
Furthermore, in response to the interviewer’s question regarding whether or not The Division’s graphics will be downgraded in for PlayStaion 4, Xbox One, or PC, Hultberg stated the following:
“Downgrading is a weird term to use. Obviously, we want to make a game that looks the best it can on its respective format, on Xbox One, PS4, PC – so I think that the the term “downgrade” is a bit confusing…and weird. We’re trying to get the utmost out of every machine we use. Xbox One gets its attention. PlayStation 4 gets its attention. And PC, of course – you’ll be able to cram it up a bit more depending on what hardware you have.”
“We address every console, every platform, as its own version. We try to stay away from that thing where you go for the least common denominator, and everybody suffers for it. We want to make a good experience on all respective formats.”
Additionally, Hultberg elaborated upon how The Division‘s single-player component will play, saying:
“If you want to play it alone, you can do that. If you want to play it with your friends, you can do that. Everything from the story to PvP, you can do it alone or with other people. You can decide how you want to play the game.”
