It looks okay, I think price will drop quickly on it.
Was going to pre-order but looking at this video and how much it looks nothing like the e3 demo has put me off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2rT35dr-Rk

It's to get a beta code....ONLY reason it's pre order beta is Ubisoft want to get more sales.
Beta should be open to all and then the gamer decides if they want to pay!
Amazon giving out beta codes costs no one money and if anything might convince people to buy the game.

R6 was my goty for 2015, I don't mind these types of games been online only I just hope its at least as fun to play as the alpha was.

Indeed , can't wait.
The alpha was stunning to look at and played like a dream, it's exceeding expectations

How long before publishers realise they can charge money for Beta access?

It already happens mate but guess what, some people are happy to pay for it :smiley:
Just not sure on this one. Reminds me of Destiny crossed with Defiance, and I am not a huge fan of "bullet sponges" which gets old, fast. Good price though.
Snakeyes646 to Tee_Doff23

It's an rpg more than a shooter so bullet sponges are expected and should be accepted.
It's no different that hammering a live cactus with Fire & lightning bolts over and over.

Do they e-mail the beta code?
nathan3007 to s4m77

I would of thought they sent it with your preorder as the beta is in just over a weeks time.

Don't know, sorry mate. Doesn't say anywhere :disappointed:

Not 100% sure but I think they send a code out to you for you to redeem on the beta sign up website. Like the way Rainbow Six Siege did it. And then Ubisoft sends you an email that has the code to redeem on your console. The website has an option to put the pre-order code into so that's why I think that's how it works.

Really enjoyed the alpha of this. If they've improved on the alpha this will be a cracking game. Good price OP

Yup looked great on the xbox one and was really nice to play. E3 Video or not, imagine on high end PC it will look leagues above the console versions already gorgeous representation of seasonal apocalyptic new york.
Anyone on the fence i reckon a pre-order to get in on the beta is worth a shot on this one, the few days in the alpha changed my mind.

if anyone just wants the beta to check it out just preorder from amazon and cancel once you received the email... got mine within about 5 minutes of preordering.

You mean the Snowdrop engine showcase footage as both consoles were not out then.
It was obviously done on a high end pc for 2013.
Alpha had most of the graphical and audio data taken out to lessen the download and alpha served as a server load and matchmaking bug test for the last part.
Beta is pretty much the same deal on a more mass test.
Alpha ran extremely smoothly, very few bugs as most had been hammered out with the friends and family alpha, they had a few gamers test is whilst in development.
The leaked alpha footage many saw only shows how not to play the game, not being in cover or using the cover system you get nailed quickly, so it's not a gun and run.
Also the ability to kill a ten year olds character and listen to him in proximity chat as you loot him shouting MUMMMY was for me personally invigorating.

If you want access to the beta, preorder the game from Amazon, wait 1-2 days until your beta code arrives and the cancel the order.

Does anyone know if this will be similar to rainbow six siege in the sense that it is mainly based online?
dgreenaway to thatsnotme
16 Jan 16#24
Its always online, like destiny in that its a hub based shooter (without the loading screens). More focus on RPG elements and stat management throw in some Borderlands.

I already purchased the beta through the recent humble bundle and just to let everyone know the Beta is not available in the UK atm. But will be coming soon.
Not to down a PC vs. console debate but if I was paying over £30 for a game I would not be happy. Heat added because The Division is going to be awesome.

It's not available anywhere yet, comes out on Jan 28th for Xbox One and 29th for PS4/PC :smile: The closed alpha was excellent so I can't wait for this.
dgreenaway
16 Jan 161#31
You can play through the missions alone for sure, but its not a separate campaign. It is always going to require an online connection. I'd hope they support it going future, as its setup to be a riff on the destiny formula, given how R6 sold... we'll see on that one.

I liked the look of this game, then i saw all the previews start to come out and none of them are setting the world on fire exactly. If you are into Destiny then i guess this is a good next step, but its not really for me. I hope this isnt going to be the same format for Wildlands as i prefer the far cry model of open world games.

Seeing as the beta is basically a demo, I don't think there's anything really wrong with it. It's not like he's getting a code for the full game.

killie_lad
17 Jan 16#57
It could very easily be an open beta or a signup you duffus. "If you don't give us your money you don't get to try it." Ok let me try another one...
So is removing single player from games yet still selling them full price
So is blocking skins and weapons from people unless they pay even more money in an already diluted game
So is day one dlc
So is releasing games that are broken on day 1 and still aren't fully fixed 10gb updates and years later
So is marketing in a way that doesn't represent the quality they deliver on.
But yeah that guy that canceled his preorder for the beta must feel TERRIBLE. Duffus.

Yep - code no longer valid. You can get Quidco (2%) but it's also £39.99 at Zavvi ith 4% on Quidco for games

Hmm just got the gold edition from Amazon for £49.99 using Amazon code that included the Beta and also Season Pass. This is over 300 and the Amazon -15 as I write this. Strange.!?
