In an interview with us, Battlestate Games, the developers of Escape from Tarkov, contradict a comparison with the MMO shooter The Division. They claim to be much more realistic.
Our author Andreas Bertits had the opportunity for an interview with Battlestate Games. He also asked:
Some people start comparing Escape from Tarkov (EFT) with The Division. Can these two games even be compared? What do you think are the biggest differences?
The answer emphasizes this point!
It makes no sense to compare EFT and The Division. They are completely different games. The Division is an arcade-like MMO action RPG without realistic hardcore elements. There are neither advanced weapon mechanics, their customizations, nor an extensive inventory. However, the game offers a solid quest system, but EFT also has enough to offer in this area.
The Russian developers of the shooter seem to be confident. They have clearly stated “hardcore” and “realism” as their goals.
