The Division: 10 Crucial Questions Ubisoft Must Answer

6. Have They Reused Watch Dogs' Engine?

Fair play to Ubisoft, they had to do something with all that Watch Dogs tech, and it certainly (thankfully) wasn't gonna be a sequel any time soon. Instead, one look at the characters of The Division taking cover, and you'll notice the same animations coming back - many of which differ in subtle ways from the debut trailer we initially got in 2013. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as if there was one component of that game that held together, it was the basic actions of taking cover and firing. However, when we're looking for an entirely new IP to champion as something "truly next gen", it's a shame to see any reused animation at all.
