New reports claim that fans of the much awaited "Tom Clancy's The Division" are worried about a possible visuals downgrade.
As Gamepur reported, gamers have been worried because of Ubisoft's unipmressive track record of downgrading the visuals of other popular titles such as "Watch Dogs" and "Assassin's Creed Unity Parity."
Massive Entertainment's ("The Division's" developer) Martin Hulberg addressed the rumors, saying:
"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."
Hulberg further explained that they are planning to release "Tom Clancy's The Division" ahead of time through an alpha or beta testing so that players can help them improve.
"We have a long experience in doing online games dating back to Ground Control and World In Conflict. 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," he said.
A well known industry insider named Shinobi602 was the first to dish on the early release of the game, saying it will be available on March 2015.

And while the game will reportedly come to Xbox One first, shinobi602 mentioned that it won't be long before the game will be launched to other platforms.
Other "Tom Clancy's The Division" updates from Game Spot claim that, "In addition to standard story progression (and new content after you finish), The Division features progression systems for gear, player statistics, and your base of operation, which can be continually upgraded, Cortes said. Ubisoft will also support The Division with new content following its release, adding more hours to the main experience."
