Doesn't change a thing for me. 
And the 2012 reveal was done on PC, of course they would need to scale down the graphics somewhat for PS4 and XB1 since the hardware was not finalised until September 2013. 
Its like, NeoGAF is full of people who don't realise the obvious. 
Its the same with ANY game in development. 
Doesn't matter what your playing, XB1, PS4, iPhone, PC, Android - it will get developed on PC first. The tools to make any game are ALL on PC. 
Those assets are then handed off to programmers who then port that game to the device. Graphics still use the original textures, but programming 'magic' will scale them to whatever the hardware can show them.
It's been that way for years, can't see it changing anytime soon.

Anyway I have this game pre-ordered for PS4. 
If people want the original 2012 E3 graphics (4K Textures @ 60+ fps) get the PC version.

Good grief, this just killed my excitement for the game. And the news about The Division doesn't sit well with me, either. My feeling is Ubisoft wanted to boost their image a bit (and maybe stock?) by creating these elaborate, fantastic looking preview tech demos. I have zero faith either game is going to be all that good.

NOOO, what news on the Division!?! Don't ruin that for me too Ubisoft!!!

I'll be honest so far i've seen nothing on next gen console that actually felt next gen to me.

 

The more i think about it the more i lean toward upgrading my PC next year instead of buying a next gen console. All PC games can be played with a consoller on a TV these days anyway.

Ubisoft has 5 major releases for this year, and I think the rumor is that The Division is being delayed because of it.

oh I can deal with delays if it means the game will still be everything I think it will be, I think last I heard it was pretty much pushed into 2015?

This is because ubisoft wants it to run on last generation systems, if they dropped the 360, ps3 and even the Wii U versions then I bet we'd see less of a downgrade at least for the new systems.

Still, where's the PC version videos? I don't care about the console versions but the PC shouldn't be downgraded at all.

I'd still lower the expectations. After all, Watch Dogs was delayed (twice, if I remember correct) too.

 

The division was/is last I heard just for the PC and had no console versions planned unless that changed?

The Division is going to be a Xbone, PS4, PC game. It was revealed as such. If that's changed since the project went dark, it's news to me.

If the PC shouldn't be downgraded at all then why should the X1 and PS4 versions be downgraded because of last-gen systems?

The beginning of that stream was just too perfect, multiple audio overlaying the interview as to why the game was delayed, and some foreign-language ad going on in the background. Though unintentional, it fit really well with the whole hacking theme of the game.

 

EDIT: For those interested, they pretty much deflected the question about graphical quality.....saying they don't feel the graphics cause need for worry, and journalists have played the PS4 build and were very happy with the graphics. They didn't at all touch on the E3 reveal vs the new trailer.

Who cares if the graphics have taken a downgrade?

All the gameplay systems that have been talked about seem to be there and that is what interested us about the game, right?

 

Plus this game is current gen. Until devs move soley to next-gen. Games won't look as good as they can be.

Not so much because of the last gen systems but because even the new systems have their own limits.  As much as people want to talk them up, sure they're a nice bump from last gen but nothing gives you the control of the PC for graphics settings.  Why downgrade the PC version when the PC gamer has the ability to downgrade it to match his or her own systems ability?   Some can play on high at 1440p, some can play high at 1080p, others lower, that choice isn't in the console so the developers have to downgrade or for lack of a better word, match, the consoles hardware.  

 

With the PC they can start high, toss out some recommended settings and let the users set what works best.

I personally don't care much about graphics, gameplay sounds fun as hell so it will definitely be one I play.

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
