The E3 Cinematic Trailer for 'The Division'

 

Honestly, for a pre-rendered clip, it does an amazing job of giving this game an emotional backstory.

 

just, WOW! Maybe I'm just a sap since I had kids.

I like the time lapse way of telling the backstory.

But I have to say Im kinda indifferent to the overall mood of the video. It just felt like another post apocalyptic "fight the powers that be" trailer.

For me its going to be hard to top, in my opinion, The Last of Us. Even thought that game had an oppressive regime they went beyond that "easy road" and made it about the good and bad in people, and not about a political ideal.

You know, I have to agree with your point about the political motive...I personally think it was a mistake on their part by revealing the origin of the pandemic...I feel those kinds of details should be revealed organically through gameplay. Why should I know that already...moreover, if society had completely broken down...who could possibly know how it happened, unless they are responsible.

 

Like the movie 'The Road' which last of Us steals from heavily,  you never find out what happened to the world...you just see people dealing with it. Too much information up front can be a bad thing.
