Story trailer. Looks like it's based on the real 'Directive 51' law in the US about what the government will do in case of a major catastrophe.

It looks fantastic, but no PC version... yet.

It was the one game from E4 that I said, "I'm getting that" when I seen it.

Captain Chaos

Another secret from Ubi and possibly another sleeper hit after Watch Dogs last year. I was surprised to see the Tom Clancy name linked to it but that does not not mean anything anymore since Red Storm stopped making games in his name.

If it doesnt come out on PC itll probably be what tips me over into picking up a PS4

weiland79

can't fricken wait looks outstanding. Is it multiplayer, do you work in 3 man squads, any details?

The trailer had me intrigued but when they showed the gameplay footage I was sold. Looks brilliant and looks like a huge open world to explore.

That 3 man squad just appears to be people playing seperatly online and dropping into each others games.

One thing that wasn't clear to me, is this an XBone exclusive or will it be out on PS4?

It'll be on both.

I was wondering about the squads as well. 4 man sqauds might work best with this type of game. Like there were 3 of them and then 'Chris' drops in for a minute with the helicopter, just class. Were the enemies at the police station AI or other players? I like the idea of co-op against ai on missions like that 'take back the police station' but it all seemd so dynamic. Now I want to see a vid where they head down the tuneel instead of going into the station.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Aw yeah, that'd be great if you could play as the Peace Corps or civilians. That way you could get both sides of the story.

Zero-Cool

I never realised that Chris the helicopter/drone pilot was controlling it from his tablet. wow

Chabals Beard

This looks amazing. While the Co op looks cool, I can see myself going as a lone wolf exploring the city on my own a lot too.

weiland79

Weiland79 is my PSN tag add me for co op.

Super excite!

Checks release date.......feck there isn't one

Captain Chaos

Seeing as this is PS4/XBO and XBO has SmartGlass for tables what is Sony's version of Smartglass. I already watched a video of a person buying Killzone on their smartphone and remote downloading to the PS4 but Sony have said nothing about this yet.

Fall 2014 release date so far. Could slip as Ubi tend to Tom Clancy titles.

Possible Vita function for the PS4 version??

ooooooohhhh I'll have to get a Vita if thats the case.

Ha ha i love all the speculation

What have we got so far? Player controlled Squads against AI with VITA controlled air strikes! and not a shred of evidence between us.

Sign me up:D

This would be the best game ever if it was a persistent online MMO world.

Aim of the game: stay alive.

Start/join factions. Control territory and resources. The potential for that kind of game is immense. Add in the tablet aspect for "commander" strategy type gameplay and you could have the ultimate mix of action and strategy. Just thinking of the possibility for the in game economy involving food and weapons gives me the giddies.

But still, it looks awesome as a standard multiplayer or even single player game.

The only game that made me even think for a minute of getting a PS4 instead of just upgrading the auld PC.

Given Sony's talk of integrating the Vita with PS4, this could be a real possibility.

Pixelbastardo

Yeah, This game was my highlight from all the gameplay shown this year at e3. Ubisoft do it again, last year it was watchdogs.
Cant wait to get my hands on this game, looks amazing.

Captain Chaos

Same here. The Division is my game of E3 so far. Haven't seen any of the new Nintendo stuff yet though. It will be the end of the week before all the hidden gems come out of the woodwork.

What makes the video confusing is that they used voice actors with a script for the video.( I think).
I know when I'm playing withn friends we don't sound as slick as that. More along the lines of
" Theres A Fvcker on the roof"
" Where?..... Ah Fvck Fvck Fvck the Fvcker got me.......Baztard"

Local-womanizer

****, this looks class!

danthefan

Looks absolutely amazing but just wondering how the likes of myself, with a friend list population of zero, would manage. Looks like if you've no friends to play with there's no point. Maybe a boards.ie group might form when it releases?

I'm in the same boat as yourself really and have avoided co-op games like DayZ, L4D etc because of it. But if this game lives up to only a portion of it's potential (admittedly based on only one trailer), there'd be no probs getting some squads together from boards as it would be hugely popular.

My biggest problem is that it still hasn't been confirmed for pc

Chabals Beard

Even if you don't have friends to play with, going as a lone wolf would be pretty fun. Tracking squads waiting to ambush, avoiding other squads using stealth, watching two groups slaughter eachother til you arrive and steal the loot etc.

Harps

Haven't heard anything about the game other than that video but as a single player game it looks like a fairly generic cover based shooter to me. If the whole thing is co-op with MMO elements though I'll definitely be interested, playing through all that with friends would be great fun, especially with the aerial and tactical stuff.

On a side note, I really hope local co-op makes a comeback on these new consoles, one of the things I really don't like about the current gen is the lack of good games to play through with someone

Tom Clancy's The Division is a nominee for the Best Of E3 award according to their facebook page. Well deserved if you ask me. Its been the stand out game of E3 this year.

Heckler

Looks great. I'm gonna be pissed it this doesn't make it to PC. I just can't play with a controller. Got a second hand xbox with a **** load of games 2 years ago and i haven't played it for more than 2 hours. Gotta have a kb and mouse.

Why don't Microsoft or Sony allow for Kb and mouse input ? Their sales would rocket. Surely it couldn't be that hard to implement. Is it because all the controller players would get their asses handed to them on multi ?

And whatever happened to Rainbow 6 patriots ? Edit: Ok just checked. Looks like its a non-runner.

I can't speak for the 360 but the PS3 does allow keyboard and mouse input, but the game has to support it too.

Ubisoft where asked on twitter about a PC version and replied
"We are optimizing the experience for next gen consoles. However, we are not ruling out any platforms for the future."

I'd imagine the reason is that keyboard/mouse players would have too much of an advantage in multiplayer games.

The gameplay shown was played on a PS4, so perhaps that means that the tablet version also works on PS4?

The last tommy Clancy games I got was ghost recon future soldier and I was disappointed by it . I also didn like the last splinter cell. . I'm thinking I might miss this one .

Agreed, it was my favourite from the show also. The in game menu system and the map looked great, gorgeous graphics too. The attention to detail was cool, like when the main player closed the car door when crouching past it.

Royal Irish

I thought the bullets going through the windows of the police cruisers looked fantastic.

This and the bullets bursting the tyres of the car and actually doing realistic damage/penetration was what I was most impressed with. It looks like simply hiding behind a car won't be guaranteed to cover you or protect you from bullets, whereas a wall or concrete barricade will. It's going to force strategies to be much more thought out.

EyeSight

the trailer is very poor. Shows no gameplay, explains very little about the game and explains the plot which has some big holes. This is what most people will watch and it is a turn off. It is the first video i watched and wasn't impressed.
Then i watched the gameplay video, which was awesome

muppetkiller

Remember folks this is the next gen so everything will look amazing. But to me it looks like a generic cover and shoot.
Nothing particularly special about it other than the graphics (which we expect to be brilliant anyway)

Announcement trailers rarely IF ever show gameplay

Agree, excellent details instead of generic glass smashing, that'll be a big thing with next gen stuff, the minor details that will add to atmoshere, theres a shot earlier in the trailer of a load of steam coming up beside a car and the way the tail lights are seen through the fog is great.

Did you notice at the end of the gameplay video the squad were attacked by another player controlled squad. This to me suggests a game with a much broader scope than just cover and shoot.

[Jackass]

Looks like an online version of just every man for himself, I wonder how you form alliances / join groups, or why people just attack another group?

Looks absolutely amazing though. Will probably be a couple of years til I play it though as I don't want to splash silly money out on new consoles.

kennryyr

Watched it in 1080p in full screen mode and literally all I could think was "Holy Sh1tballs!!"

Game looks absolutely amazing, the whole post-apocalyptic setting really looks great and gives the game that hint of "this could really happen". The physics, as people have already previously pointed out, are top notch. I particularly enjoyed when the drone spotted the guy hiding through the sign at the end and the bullets ripped through the wood and the lights all filtered through in real time. Sweet!

And then the little cliffhanger at the end "Look at Manhattan"... "yeah we'll have to take a trip over there later". Imagine huge pvp firefights going on throughout Times Square.. Can't wait!

Jim

From what I got from the gameplay it's an survival third person cover shooter in an persistent open world which you share with many other players with other players being the real "threat", but with group mechanics.

If it's all of the above then it's the only game that will make me even think about buying a console.

krudler

so this could be basically a squad based open world shooter with Demon's Souls-esque mechanic for the multiplayer? intruiging.

Royal Irish

The thought of having 4 or 5 boardsies lying in wait down a street to ambush a group of randomers is tantalizing.
