Reddit mentions of Tom Clancy's The Division: New York Collapse: (Tom Clancy Books, Books for Men, Video Game Companion Book)

Not sure if you're joking or not, but there is no book written by Tom Clancy that The Division is based off of. There is a book called Tom Clancy's The Division: New York Collapse that acts as a companion piece to the game, but it was written in conjuction with the game's development, so the game isn't based off of it (if anything, it's the other way around), and Tom Clancy had nothing to do with it considering the fact he had been dead for years before it was written.

And here it is without the referral inside it:

me too. for those uninitiated

There is plenty of lore for The Division if you care to look for it. It's really good stuff too.

It is not based on any established Tom Clancy novel or storyline. The Division is an original IP. However, there will be a fictionalized companion book that will coincide with the release of the game: http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452571152&sr=1-1&keywords=The+division

I have it. It's a unique book companion to the game and rather clever how it operates on multiple levels. First, there is a realistic muddle of survival advice by an unknown but authoritative author. Overlaid on this are several weeks of personal notes scrawled in the margins by the character April Kelleher whose echos and survival pages are found in the game. It fleshes out the subplots involving this character who you haven't met in game. Physical artifacts and clues are provided by this character. Finally there are messages which relate back to the game from the book's fictional author hidden in the text which you can find. April finds or starts you off on some of these and her notes shift from shock to staying alive to scouring the book and the in-game city for the author.

Have you collected all the echos, incident reports and phone recordings? Have you purchased the supplemental survival guide/short story based around April Kelleher's experience leading up to the events of The Division??

These are all integrations of the story and are painting you a larger picture of how things went down. Subtle things from first wave agent audio recordings, echos, scenarios and background stories leading up to events played out in the game.

I was thinking the collapse referred to what was going on in The Division

Do yourself a favor if you're a lore nerd

https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279

It's the survival guide that April Kelleher was writing in and is the same thing that is on the cover of the survival guide pages in the medical wing.

Really great write up. I bought the game and loved the 1-30 progression, minus the same things you mentioned (clunky ui, not great mechanics). The atmosphere, visuals, VA work, and premise all make up for what it lacks to make it worth it. It has such potential to be a phenomenal all time best game ever, but it's just missing something. Like they had an internal divide on what the game should actually be (it should be a pvp game! It should be an immersive open world story game! it should be a tactical shooter!). If they just focused on one aspect and fully fleshed it out, man, what a game it could have been.

That being said, for 10 bucks (which is what I picked it up for), it was a great time. So good, I even bought a physical version of the book you find in the game. It's a good stand alone read even if you haven't played the game.

even better than that, it's as if you've found someone's survival book, someone who has lived through all the hell breaking loose... .or did they live... hmmmm

It's a book: https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279

There already is a book based in The Division universe that's part diary and part survival guide. You can see pages from it in-game, in the April Kelleher intel.
There's also an art-book, though that one "focuses on the art and making of the game, and includes over 300 images, sketches, and concept art, and in-depth commentary throughout from the artists and creators."

The division book! I really enjoyed it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1452148279/ref=tmm_pap_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=1526393640&sr=8-1

If you love the lore, can I recommend this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tom-Clancys-Division-Collapse-Survival/dp/1452148279/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540908601&sr=8-1&keywords=new+york+collapse

Absolutely brilliant story and some puzzles to solve too.

The Division. I like this game. It's best with friends and doing the main missions in hard.

You can totally do a holy trinity if you want, but the nice thing is you can chose your points and perks at any time. I don't usually care for pvp stuff, I only went in the dark zone once, and never really met any people so I dunno. I'm lvl 15 and play a tanky smart cover/shield build guy with LMG/shotgun/sawn-off.

The shooting feels good and the mods that give you better accuracy and stability actually are noticeable. The cover system is great and I love that moving between cover is just "look at where you want to go and hold A" and you will go there. And that "moving between cover" is a thing the game knows you can do, and thus has perks based upon it (like reduced damage during the move, or increasing damage based on the distance moved)

The side missions are copy paste but that's fine for me. Walking around the city by yourself and exploring to get lootboxes and collectables is fun since the environmental design is amazing

Also iwant to shout out to the book "The Division: New York Collapse" which isn't your typical tie-in novel. It presented as an actual survival guide that the protagonist finds and uses as a diary by writing in the margins. Then she realizes that the fictional author must have known about the virus that hit NY cause of all these clues she finds in the book. So it's an actual urban survival guide on top of reading about this woman's life post-collapse, on top of doing puzzles and figuring out the conspiracy how the author new about the virus. It even has feelies! Remember those! I was able to grab a copy at a local Barnes and Noble since it seems to be sold out online but you can also buy directly from the publishers website

http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-The-Division-Collapse/dp/1452148279#immersive-view_1458063874363

Urban Chaos. This is an older game from '99 featuring a black lady cop. It plays a bit like GTA3 with some Tomb Raider-esque platforming. The story seems bizarre as it opens with a Nosferatu Nostradamus quote about the end of the world. And then in a cutscene some religious zealot assassins try to murder the cop and her partner. Right now I'm just beating up and arresting gangmenbers waiting for the story to take the turn it hinted at in the opening, but it's fun to walk around and talk to people, and explore to find hidden triggerable cutscenes and stat-increasing powerups.

-----

I'm one of those weird people who doesnt "get" streamers. I don't have time to watch someone play a game unscripted. I'd rather play games myself. And if I want to watch a game played I'll watch the preplanned/edited/produced videos like giant bomb or YouTubers like mathas, markiplier, or patrick klepeck where I can set it to 1.5x or skip forward when i get bored. I follow one person on twitch and its my personal friend so I can directly chat to him on steam and comment what he's doing in game. And even then I don't watch with rapt attention since its just not entertaining or enthralling to me. The most I got into his game was watching him play system shock 1 and helping him out with stuff since he was being a baby and complaing about not having waypoints or objective list after completely ignoring the 20 audio logs that told him exactly what to do and where.

It's actually cheaper on Amazon ($14.97).

I highly recommend this:

The Newspaper!

It was both a promotional point, and a part of their "New York Collapse" meta-gaming.

New York Collapse book has some good answers to this. It really deepens The Division story.

https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279

I'm pretty much the opposite of you. I would never add notes directly into just about any printed material. The only exception I can recall making was this book, for the following reasons:

​

1. It contains a number of puzzles which specifically rely on the positioning of words and letters on and across pages, so writing on anything other than the pages themselves would be extremely awkward.
   
2. The book is stylized such that it appears to be a copy of a survival guide recovered during the apocalypse on behalf of a previous owner, who presumably made hand-written notes in the margins, with different pen colors indicating time continuity, so writing my own notes and solutions only felt natural and added to the unique setting of the book.
   
3. As a creative person who does video game development work on the side, I found the book extremely inspiring, and every bit as enjoyable as the video game it's based on, so I don't foresee myself ever wanting to sell it.
   
4. The book is generally sold new in shrink-wrap, as it contains a number of loose sheets and other bits which could easily be lost otherwise, similar to the Exit series of escape games, so the potential resale value of an opened copy is inherently extremely low, as anybody really interested in a copy would need to verify the contents, potentially spoiling a number of surprises.
   
   It's ultimately up to you to do whatever works best for you, but I've moved a number of times in my life, each time selling off collections of books which I at one point believed I would never sell, many of which I never actually finished or even started reading, and so I could never see myself potentially reducing the resale value of a book by marking it up with my own notes.

https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-Broken-Dawn/dp/1984803174 <------is the book that leads from NY to DC...


https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279/ref=pd_sbs_14_t_0/134-0666863-0445340?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1452148279&pd_rd_r=af9103a6-d12b-47d5-a173-90e5634c9238&pd_rd_w=daXYj&pd_rd_wg=7bjta&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=WNAAT1M0M3JMSXZ3HBM1&psc=1&refRID=WNAAT1M0M3JMSXZ3HBM1 <-----is the book that April Kelleher "made notes in" while she was hunting down why her husband was killed. Basically the book you find pieces of in Division 1.

$30 on Amazon as well, I'm Canadian. Chapters is our large Brick and Mortar store like Barnes and Noble is for the US.

Yeah, I played the closed alpha, the closed beta, and the open beta. Each time the game got better and grew on me a little more as I noticed subtle UI and gameplay changes. This is not your typical Ubisoft title.

The Division will not fail to deliver like Watchdogs and The Crew. Everything was extremely stable during all 3 tests and the game chat is unbelievable.

I couldn't imagine playing this game without the extremely compelling companion book, though.

I don't think you're joking, so you probably don't know about the companion book: https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279

It follows the story of April Kelleher and her experiences during the first few weeks of the outbreak of "The Dollar Bug" as she calls it.

Frustratingly, she says if you find the book, she'll be outside the Niagra bar at the Joe Strummer mural every day at noon. But ... the place where that mural really exists in NYC is about 2-3 blocks south of the playable map. FFS :D Anyway, in game, the last we know for sure of her plans is she was heading into the DZ after her discussion with Aaron Keener.

It's a survival guide with the events that happened told by April Kelleher. In your Field Data in the game you'll see the category Survival Guide which are actual pages from the book. Also she has her own category under ECHOs. http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-The-Division-Collapse/dp/1452148279

Thanks for the upvote! Here is a link to where you can get it on Amazon

But it's not. Here's the specific quote from the interview.

>Is the Division based on a particular Tom Clancy book or series of books?

>No, not a specific book, but the Tom Clancy universe is key to the story of The Division.

There was a companion book released alongside the game, but the game itself isn't based on any book.

Here ya go!

http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279

The most enjoyment I got from The Division was the Tie In book that is a Survival Guide to Urban Catastorphe that was a neat read.

Edit: If you enjoy the in-game lore, this is the Survival Guide that you collect pages for and see April Kelleher writing in one of the holos

I love this idea. I actually just bought the survival guide book IRL (New York Collapse) and have really liked getting to know the story more. I found it a little difficult to follow the details of the story in-game because of how it's presented, collecting phones, incident reports, and survival guide pages out of order. Anyway, I definitely enjoy the April Kelleher character, and I think playing with her as an AI companion would be very fun!

Have you read the books that go with the games?
This one came out alongside 1 and is really interesting. It’s an interactive experience and ties into the game, along with having maps and stuff in it:

It's two books in one. An urban survival guide that's decent. Then there's another story 'hand written' into the margins etc. You find echos of the person in the game and you can read about her perspective in the book. I'm reading it now and it's quite good!

Its surreal having a book on your desk and when you're running around in the world you find the same one in an apartment that you're rummaging through.

This one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279/

Fresh air:

It's not like any RPG I've ever played. Its setting is unlike any game I've ever played. There's story/PVE elements AND a unique PVE/PVP zone. It's a unique take on a genre that usually follows set themes. Plus, it has other aspects that are VERY realistic and immerse you into the world; the weather, time of day changes, NPC interactions, etc. It's all just really cool. I've seen bits of it in other games, just not all these different elements in one game. It's cool, I don't feel like I've played a game similar to the Division, so it's a fresh video gaming experience.

Tom Clancy in title:

Like all of the video games with his name in the title, they're losely based on story elements from his books. There's a lot of creative license in all of the video games, but a Tom Clancy book was the source of inspiration for themes/content.

Tomy Clancy provides ideas on story lines, not game mechanics. RPGs are not for everyone. If you don't like them, no biggie. Go check out Rainbow Six: Siege (if you like PVP). It's very realistic.

Cheap on amazon too... 11gbp

Tom Clancy's The Division: New York Collapse: A Survival Guide to Urban Disaster https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1452148279/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qwW6CbR6Y900Z

I can't find a book titled The Collapse. The closest thing I can find is Tom Clancy's The Division: New York Collapse, which, as you can see, was published in March 2016 to coincide with the game release.

The last novel actually written solely by Clancy was in 2003. Then there's a seven year gap, after which the books with his name on them are all written "with" another author. I'm not counting the spin-off series that were always explicitly written by someone else.

When taken together with the fact that Ubisoft outright purchased the Tom Clancy brand for videogames in 2008, it's safe to assume that pretty much anything published after that had no input from him.

Yeah just spoke to them and they have no idea if/when they are getting any more.

EDIT: Cheaper on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457006834&sr=8-1&keywords=the+division+collapse

Neat. I didn't notice the book sitting there.

It is kinda cool if you're into extra lore. It is a fictional survival guide with notes/memos by a lady going through the virus outbreak that you see in the game. You'll find her all over the place in ECHOs. One of them showed the book open to page 35, and if you check page 35 her notes are basically the text of the audio there.

I really suggest checking out the Book too.

I've only read around 30 pages or so thus far, but it is one of the most interesting books I've ever bought. It's a "New York Collapse Survival Guide" that belongs to a woman who uses it as a journal/diary as well. Her name is April Kelleher, and I've actually found her in a few Echos in the game.

The book itself has tons of hidden messages/puzzles pertaining to the game in it (I personally haven't solved any of them). It also has other small things in it from NY, like a Metro Pass, a "Missing Person" sign, and tons of other little items/notes stuffed all in it. For $15 it is hands down a great purchase.

I think The Division shot itself in the foot by deciding to make the PC a mute. It limits your engagement in the story considerably and so the cutscenes are just short vignettes into the Second Wave.

I'll admit that Destiny works around that by using the Cortana/Ghost technique. Division's ISAC is only used for UX cues and not narrative.

FWIW, the real world Survival Guide is an interesting read which provides a side story for Division.

But yeah ...

>what destiny on few occasion did manage to do, ok they were never answered but still

The problem is you do that once and the reader forgives you. Twice they question it. Destiny does it constantly, which means I personally stopped caring about what the story was trying to tell me some time ago.

TTK was a slight improvement, with a plot arc that mostly made sense. My brother and I dubbed it "anime like nonsense" as opposed to "just nonsense".

This one?

I'll look into it, thanks.

edit : oh it was a guide.

If you really want to be paranoid about a pandemic, you should read the tie-in book for the game. It's really well done and it really drives home how quickly everything would fall apart in the kind of scenario depicted in The Division. Plus it weaves in some back story and mystery around the events leading up to game.

Yep. New York Collapse

The OP is referring to the paperback. https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279

This book

Here you go my man.

Backstory sold separately.

I'm just saying, you should remove it instead of risking someone's job. Are you required to remove it? No. However, GameStop fires people for selling games before street date. It's not unreasonable to think retailers could get into big trouble for selling something before said street date. If you care at all about an employee's job and the potential the retailer could get in trouble for this, then you should remove it. Based on your comments though, saying things like it's not your job to look out for this, you probably don't care what happens, so long as you're able to benefit from it (getting something released before official release date). Other people getting it 'everywhere' before release date doesn't make it any less wrong. If you call other B&N stores, they'll tell you that it can't be sold until the 8th. It's not being sold "everywhere" prior to official release date.

Retailers can get in trouble for selling things before release. Why have a release date if you can just sell it whenever you want?

This book is not released yet, the street date is officially March 8th. Source: http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Division-York-Collapse/dp/1452148279/
