Ubisoft's upcoming RPG shooter The Division is set in New York City, but how realistic is the game's depiction of The Big Apple? During a recent trip to NYC, Sony found out. The company today published a video through its PlayStation Access YouTube channel that compares the virtual versions of the Brooklyn Bridge and The Empire State Building to their real-world counterparts.
As yo u can see, Ubisoft did a pretty good job depicting those locations, as well as others like the James Farley Post Office Building and Madison Square Garden. Of course, The Division's presentation of NYC depicts a future version of the city after the entire United States has collapsed. As such, The Division's NYC is more rundown than what you'd see if you went there today.
Th e Division launches in 2015 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. If you have not been blown away by the game yet, there is a possible explanation for that. "[The Division is] a very ambitious game. We are saving many of the most interesting parts for later," Ubisoft Massive managing director David Polfeldt told GameSpot in Jun e. "We have a lot of interesting things in the game that were not shown [at E3]. So there's a lot to come."
