Video: ‘The Division’ looks like the most realistic videogame ever made

There was a lot of big news at the E3 gaming event last night and we’re sure to see even more over the next few days, but one of the most eye catching games to have been announced so far has been ‘The Division’. It’ll blow your mind.

The graphics in this game look so real that it might make you feel a bit bad for the enemy you just blew to pieces. You might even feel bad for poor Enemy Jr. who won’t be seeing daddy tonight. That’s how realistic this game looks. The voice actors also do a superb job and really make the game look like you’re controlling actors in a movie instead of in a videogame.

The Division comes from the guys at Tom Clancy and Ubisoft and was inspired by real-world events, which “revealed how vulnerable we’ve become”; society has become “fragile” and “complex”. Basically, a disease infects the US and spreads rapidly and it’s up to you and your team to keep the peace in a world that’s in a state of rapid decay.

It looks absolutely class and it will be available later this year on the next-gen consoles. We’re sure to find out more information about the game soon enough, but for now check out the gameplay demo below. Do yourself a favour and full-screen that sh*t.
