Ubisoft Massive has said it is aiming to squeeze as much out of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as possible for its upcoming post-apocalyptic action-RPG, Tom Clancy’s The Division.
Speaking to Open World Games on YouTube (via GamePur), Martin Hulberg dismissed the use of the term ‘downgrading’ when it comes to the development philosophy behind The Division.
"Obviously, we want to make a game that looks the best it can on its respective format, so Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. So I think the term downgrade is a bit confusing and weird because we’re trying to get the most out of every machine we use. So Xbox gets its attention, PlayStation gets its attention, and PC of course will be able to cram it up a bit more depending on the hardware you have."
He also hinted at the possibility of an alpha or beta test for the hotly anticipated title.
"We have a long experience in doing online games dating back to Ground Control and World In Conflict," said Hulberg. "And I think the chance to involve people to do tests is very important. I suspect we will release more details on the possibilities for public tests later on."
The Division is due out on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One at some point in 2015.
