What is going on with Sessler' s voice?

The guy has been up for 3 days straight having to yell over the noise. The E3 show floor is incredibly loud.

It's State of decay but with multiplayer and better looking. This one should be good to play with a group of MPs!!

Damn! Winter 2014! I like this one a lot.

The Division will be "always online" even when playing on your own.

The Division will be always-online, because this is how the game is designed. It’s a world that’s always on and always living. The fact you’re always-online is a must. It’s the same for The Crew. You can join your friends or not, but something is happening in this world all the time.
When you have freedom in a world – that can also have seamless multiplayer – that brings something new to the gamer, rather than having a scripted story. Freedom brings something unique.
There have been open-worlds before, but I think the feeling you have when you play an open-world is second to none. And now we’re pushing all of our creators to go in that direction.

I believe more games will be like that. Wasn't someone at E3 discussing how debs would be using the cloud for AI and other things?

Well The Division was also said to be seamless between single player / co-op / mulitplayer. It's basically a MMORPG.

Sorry folks, but I am just lapping up any story about this game.
Something built up to be so good, just has to have 'Homefront' written all over it!
Let's bloody hope not!!

Will 'The Division' feature classes? Ubisoft emphasizes player choice

(Click on quote for source)

One of the most anticipated next-generation games that's surely on the top of everyone's 2014 list has to be The Division, and information on the type of characters players will be able to create was discussed.

Ubisoft talked about how a player's interaction and play style will influence the type of character they eventually play as.

"As you play the game, you’ll level up and acquire points. You can spend those points to spec yourself as you wish: those choices are totally open, up to each player, and changeable on the fly.

"Of course, you’ll be able to spec yourself into a general RPG role (becoming more a “tank”, a “healer” or a “DPS” kind of character), but again the choice is yours. This means that communication and teamwork are important to have the best group possible!" Ubisoft said.

So this sounds like we will be able to mold our character based on our actions and choices within the game. This is an interesting concept that in theory will help embrace a player's natural tendencies and will help them become a stronger player through their own strategies.

This idea of genre blending is being clearly embraced by Ubisoft and we definitely are keeping a close eye on the next-generation games they release, since they seem to be the most daring and original of all.

Above all announced games, I want this the most. They should just release it and allow us all to beta test it for the year.
