    SOTG - Codename Nightmare is dead and 60FPS coming to "next-gen" consoles

    For those who didn't watch today's SOTG, the bad news is that the limited time event ("Codename Nightmare") is no longer happening, and has been "repurposed" to be an apparel event

    The good news for console owners is that 60FPS is coming to next-gen consoles in February. Assuming you can find one

    Feels like TD2 was just a money grab to fund other projects. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    At least we're getting 60fps for next-gen. Of course will people still be playing this in February?

    So much for hoping it was TD2 Survival

    Either we're getting new stuff after Season 4, or I might be looking for a new main come Spring [possibly CyberPunk, I guess]..

    Damn it, apparently apparel is more important than events and major content updates that are more healthy for the game and for developers in a long run.

    I don't remember how far back it was announced. Maybe they shouldn't have announced nightmare if it wasn't going to be a thing. My question is will it be coming ever? Since Covid was kind of being used as the reason.

    Yeah, I would prefer some new playable content too, but I understand if whatever they planned didn't work out. There's no point in reusing Kenly College if it's still going to suck.

    But hey, at least console owners will be able to see a game they don't want to play anymore run @ 60 FPS

    Yannick said it's not happening, and that they put the development resources into other things (the additional apparel event being one).

    I haven't had a chance to watch yet, did they hint at any new content coming next year?

    The silence is starting to become deafening..

    With interference from Covid and (presumably) Ubisoft Corporate, Tom Clancy's The Division 2 was facing an uphill battle. Its clear from SOTG that very few are working on DIV2 and so its easy to see how they probably just don't have the necessary resources to get done that which needs to get done like NIGHTMARE, whatever it was going to be. Because corporate see's $$$ signs its easier to get resources to create cosmetics like those for an Apparel event but getting resources for something the game desperately needs but can't be monetized is much harder.

    Imagine everyone is anywhere from unhappy t pissed off about this but just remember that "the devs" as the term is often used aren't the decision makers. They are stuck doing what they can with whats been approved so if anyone is to blame for the mess its going to be someone higher up in an office sitting behind many layers of employees so that they never have to deal with the angry customer face to face.

    I'm sure it was triage, as timelines got extended by Covid and resources were diverted .. hopefully it means they are prioritizing new Missions to come in March/April..
