Digital foundry says it's running on ps4.  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-tech-analysis-tom-clancys-the-division

I don't think they would write a whole article talking about it running on ps4 if it was really running on PC.


That is just a trailer analysis it's clear from the article they never actually interviewed anyone from Ubisoft, they probably just assumed it was PS4 because they used a PS4 controler. So we have a trailer analysis that assumed it was PS4 because of a trailer vs an article that states that Ubisoft told them it was running on a PC with a PS4 controler.

Ubisoft have also said that they prototype their games on PC first and then port to PS4 and XBone this gen.

@CGI Final Fantasy XV has a pettition of a PC version as well, but that was confirmed to be running on a high spec PC as well.

"Now, though, we're developing on DirectX 11, not based on the PS4 or the Xbox One. This lets us develop full-spec without worrying about individual platforms, then port it to each console in the most appropriate way. As a result, the original Final Fantasy XV runs on a pretty high-spec PC, and how close a console gets to this original depends on its specs."

Lets face it unless the game is first party it's safe to assume it was running on a PC at E3. Just look at how many technical issues came up during the conferences, lets face it early console dev kits is not an issue that developers would want to put up with during E3 much safer just to run it on a PC. And consider some of the games we know were running on dev kits Knack for example with it's framerate dropping into the teens, and that is a first party launch title. Games tend not to be performance optimised until the final few months of development much safer to just throw a titan or two at it and not have to worry about performance, that is why Lococycle a X360/Xbone XBLA title was running on PCs packing a titan one less thing to worry about.
