E3 2013: Tom Clancy's The Division



Aside from a minutely curated fever apocalypse, the stand out thing about Tom Clancy's The Division is the clipped, believable radio chatter, framed here as a speculative audience. Ubisoft has ditched on the typical testosterone heavy party chat to focus on presenting an aspirational, egalitarian future shock. The Division promises to be a multiplayer driven RPG, offering something deliberately unlike the bro shooters that have driven this gen's online experience. A notable trend at this E3 has been developers and publishers offering games designed to undermine rather than directly compete with Call of Duty; The Division doing so with a more deliberately paced example of tactical shooting.

The game seems amazing and hopefully the developers will manage to fully bring all the promises to the table! Apparently the game is set to come out by the end of 2013, so there is not a lot of time before we can grab it :)
