Anybody else get in the Alpha?

I know its under NDA but I'm guessing you can still play with added friends who are also in the Alpha.

Is the Alpha console only or pre-orders only?

Xbox One only, then the Beta early next year is for everything. Game release is March.

I only preordered it on GAME online about a week ago and instantly got a beta code to put in on the division website, got mailed my alpha code yesterday.

Someone showed me this in work yesterday. Looks amazing. Love the way you can choose to stick as part of a team or choose to turn against them. Rogue!

£52 for all the Tom Clancy games and The Division when it's released.

So it looks like gamestop in Italy released a trailer when they shouldn't have, its now been taken down, but as always its been captured, take a look: https://a.pomf.cat/ztkasj.mp4

Translation from reddit:
0:00 - When you joined the division, what did you expect?
0:08 - I'm sure they told you of the sacrifices you'd eventually have to make
0:16 - but none of us could have expected this
0:27 - if there is a chance at putting this city back on its feet, it depends on you
0:37 - upon arriving, this place was destroyed. but with time, it can become our home.
0:45 - From here, we did many missions seeking others, drs, egineers, police. people who would help rebuild the city.
1:02 - out there you'll need all your (might?). Each battle will make you stronger
1:26 - every struggle will make you more potent(better).
1:35 - spend some time alone and you'll learn, if we don't fight together, you'll die alone.
1:47 - other agents have created refuges all over the city. you'll have to collaborate and fight with them.
1:54 - we have to rely on our strengths to save what's left and give NY a chance to fight for something that we thought we lost, hope.
2:10 - we need to collaborate and unite our efforts, fight together.
2:45 - you are here for a reason, don't have doubts, we will retake our city
3:03 - during your efforts, youll find a place outside the walls, the black zone, a place of fear and struggle where you can't trust anyone
3:20 - our fight is only the beginning

Looking forward to this, although I do have reservations after seeing some videos. It's supposed to be in a similar vein to Destiny (which I played a lot) but I can't help feeling that a real world setting might lack a bit of variety. Destiny nailed the gameplay, but lacked depth/variety. This could be a winner if it's got both!

Doesn't mean a thing I know, but looks wise it reminds me of The Last of Us PvP.

Got this pre-ordered. Couldn't resist and I hope it is good.

However, it is Ubisoft so the "finished" product may be very different to the trailers etc. I thought they would have learned their lesson after the Watchdogs fiasco but I've recently seen the e3 2014 reveal for Rainbow 6. It is vastly different to the current game.

Don't screw us this time. shoot

I'm in two minds about this - it looks very good, but it also looks to depend a lot on teamwork.

Teamwork can make a good game feel great. Games like this are only really viable if you've got a group of like minded people to play with, although the fundamentals obviously also need to be there.

Fingers crossed, as I've not got anything multiplayer at the mo.

I love co-op games, Left for Dead etc are some of my most favourite games and represent some of the best times I've had online. I wish there were more co-op games being developed. Borderlands is fantastic with four players as well. More bad guys, more loot, what's not to like?

Don't trust Ubisoft, cancelled my preorder some time ago. Willing to give it chance once it's released, not interested in another Destiny though.

Might be because the marketing deal is with Microsoft so all footage and screenshots so far have been Xbox One. We have to wait until later this week to see footage from PS4 / PC I believe
