In Division 1, we were running around mid-town New York.
In Division 2, we are running around Washington D.C. and later on, down-town New York.
So if we are to have Division 3, where would you like it to be located? LA? Seattle? The current war-zone that is Portland? Or about about we go international and set it in London, England? Paris, France? Tokyo, Japan? Beijing, China?
If we leave NY & DC, I would vote Chicago Winter or Left Coast [LA or SF].Originally Posted by T0NY.HAYABUSA Go to original post
I do wonder if Ubi shares assets? seeing as Watch Dogs already mapped SF & Chicago.. unless the structure/street frames aren't portable between engines?
I say leave the county and go after the head of Black Tusk. I imagine it would be a foreign city with a Black Tusk network that we would need to slowly take over. The fight would be different because we would be trying to infiltrate foreign systems and set up ISAC against possibly a more advanced AI system. Yeah, I'm trying to rip off Person of Interest.
Maybe the gameplay is shifted so that we go from being defenders to insurrectionists,
My expectations are that The Division 3 - should we get one - will be set on the East Coast still. We've been fighting for America's seat of power with Washington DC, and its financial heart/ground zero of the Dollar 'Flu with New York. I would expect the third game will stay with New York or/and Washington DC as I don't think the people behind Black Tusk will be willing to give either of those places up. Also allows for recycling of play areas and assets. Furthermore, they've pretty much tied the DC Division into the story of what is going on, so seeing how Season 4 plays out and what they do afterwards might influence things. I don't think we be saying goodbye to Manny & Kelso yet.
What I would like is similar to my expectations, but I would like them to shift the main play area up to Boston. My reasonings aren't based on my guesses of where the story might lead but my reasons are:
1. Boston would be somewhere different but also similar to NYC for a heavily urbanised area with high rise buildings for that claustrophobic city setting. However, it also has suburban areas for different play areas.
2. Being on the East Coast and north of NYC it is still close enough to NYC & DC for additional places for missions (a la WONY expansion).
3. Furthermore, if they move the timeline to winter once again for that lovely dark, cold, hopeless feeling of the apocalypse, then being East Coast they can still have that harsh winter weather of snow and blizzards that made TD1 so compelling as a setting.
4. Boston has a waterfront (always a plus point for me) and looks quite pretty. Not important reasons but they help.
However, because that is what I would like I'm pretty confident that's not what we will get.
Chicago, Paris or London would all make great venues. London and Chicago I think could capture the dark and ominous vibe that Division 1 has but Division 2 never really was able to capture. The Washington setting is just too uncluttered and sunny most of the time. That dark feel like death is lurking around every corner just isn't there in the atmosphere of Division 2.
Boston is also home to a lot of Defense R&D labs..Originally Posted by rapier17 Go to original post
