FILMMAKER REACTS: TOM CLANCY'S THE DIVISION | ALL TRAILERS!!

[@rabbit2686]

In The Division 1, the virus is unleashed during the christmas holidays, so when everyone was dying, no one worried about the decorations and just left them up. So it's christmas themed, but not exactly christmas time. There is a story, you are trying to find the people who created and distributed the virus. You go from region to region and deal with the different hostile factions in each of them as you try and find a cure and the people responsible. The same story basically continues in The Division 2. It is post-apocalypse pretty much, the watch lighting up was just "this is how some division agents were called" blackflash thing. There are factions with advanced technology, but most people are living like it's the early 1900's again, but with whatever technology communities can salvage and maintain to help ease things along.

[@aaronquick7895]

It is a fairly complex story. The US government runs a simulation of what would happen if a bio attack were to occur. Things went VERY bad in the simulation. In response, the US government makes The Division as one of the solutions of how to address it. Fast forward and the event actually happens. The method was a modified version of small pox strategically placed on currency during the Black Friday sales. This is the first weekend after Thanksgiving and the biggest weekend of the Christmas sales in the US retail market. This is where all the Christmas motif comes from. The attack was targeting Christmas specifically. Things go really badly as predicted in the simulation, but The Division is mobilized to retake a fallen New York City. In the chaos, various factions seized control of parts of the city. As a member of The Division, the player has to establish order by defeating the faction in control while also rebuilding infrastructure and helping any citizens caught in the area. You shoot a bunch of guys but also hand out bottles of water and repair solar panels.

[@Markus9040]

The atmosphere in the first game is just something else. It feels perfect while playing it.

[@sdrake83]

Hope this helps... the Division are sleeper agents around america that got activated to help out with the Chaos that happened with the events of a super virus spreading around the world. In the game you play as one of the members of the division and help to take control of the city with standard and slightly sci-fiish weapons like smart grenades (the ball you saw), drones and turrets. Was a blast at the time, but fell flat over time with how the game was managed.

[@redtez]

Both games imo are amazing and the lore is brilliant. If you have time, I highly recommend checking out the short film that Ubisoft made for this game on KZbin; i believe its called The Division - Origins. It is an online game but it does have a campaign and is very story rich and there are many stories interwined, hence the many different factions you see in the trailers. Also, the division agents are part of Homeland and were already agents before the pandemic, they just have to wait to be called up. The people you see with watches in the final trailer were part of the First Wave.

[@Daniel-tt8ox]

Yeah, I really hope he checks out the Origin stories. Those are great. Definitely worth a look.

[@deathkage779]

I love The Division. Im excited for the next DLC for The Division 2. Some Division lore: Division agents are all from different walks of life they could be your freind , neighbour and maybe your romantic partner or even the guy who owns the Hot dog stand. They go through rigorous training that consists of: Physical Weapons Tech They are also tested mentally and are pushed to their limits mentally. The Division Agents are expected to keep up their peak physical condition 24/7. They also live 2 different lives: 1 living a normal life 2 Being a Division Agent Those who are chosen to be Division Agents are expected to keep the fact that the Division exists a secret. Division Agents are only activated when everything else has fallen. They are the last line of defence.

[@EddieLove]

I remember my uncle was so excited about the release of this game back in 2016, he got me to download the beta and he even bought me the game just for him to get bored of it before the game even released, he got bored within the time span of the beta lmao. I ended up playing the game quite consistently for about 1 /12- 2 years and ended meeting a lot of people and making multiple virtual friends on there. Some of them even visiting each other in real life cause one of them was a truck driver. Shout out to, David Ramos Birdman Ankman Sarko Vanquished Davis Lee Gheeo legend J Money TonyCapp

[@qadi796]

Honestly the first game was so magical when you finally start exploring

[@marcusornestahl6378]

Stil play both Division 1 and 2, some of the best games ive ever played. the story is ongoing from game 1 and to game 2 and six years into game two its still going strong, with several books and audiodramas as well to flesh out the lore.

[@J3553xAnotherFan]

This was a very good game and the story telling happens over time as you clear out parts of the city and explore the space. You find cellphones that you can hear call logs and records from. The Division was signed in 2007 in the game and they get called upon 9 years later, but not all at once. They're activated in stages as they're needed. You're apart of the second or third group that gets called in when your predecessors go missing. It's definitely worth a play through.

[@LuxZoltan]

I fell in love with the franchise by just walking around the destroyed city in the cold winter, giving food or medic resources to people in the streets and helping build the shelters it really felt inmersive

[@Noblemumin]

Some of the other amazing trailers I would recommend you to watch for cinematography and art-style. Based on what you already watched, might as well give them a try- 1. Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Final Trailer 2. Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2017 Trailer 3. Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain E3 2014 Trailer 4. Death Stranding E3 2018 Trailer 5. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010 E3 Reveal Trailer 6. Uncharted 4 A Thief's End Story Trailer 7. Silent Hill 2 Remake Teaser Trailer 8. Majora'a Mask- Terrible Fate 9. Final Fantasy 15 Omen Trailer 10. Far Cry 6 Official Reveal Trailer 11. Beyond Good and Evil 2 E3 2017 Trailer

[@sogwatchman]

In the game reality, Directive 51 was signed years before the outbreak in case something were to happen. It takes people living out their normal lives and calls upon them to be agents when disaster strikes. They are called The Division. So on Black Friday (huge shopping day after Thanksgiving in the US) the infected bills started circulating. Within weeks millions were infected and/or dead. The Division agents were activated. You play one of the agents in New York..... Great now I want to play through it again. (This will be my fourth time through the campaign)

[@mozambiquehere5903]

Exploring New York in this game was eerily beautiful in a way. And while yes, factions do have their own territories, they'll go in and try to attack other factions in their area.

[@Birbman9084]

The game is basically a virus outbreak that takes place in New York City with you as a Covert agent of the Division. The goal is to bring order back to the city by fighting against different enemy factions Rioters: civilians that banded together for chaos and survival Cleaners: NY sanitation Last man Battalion: a private military organization The game is an online multiplayer where you can team up with up to 3 other players.

[@Rickie26k]

Looking at the in-game side, story is told through a few different lenses. One part is the thread of tracking down how "Green Poison" was spread to begin with, and that's the main mission line. Some stories come in the form of side quests, but there are three things that speaks in a more exploring sense. One is collectable phone recordings, each of these sets of recordings tell a story of their own. Another are these holographic reconstructions you can activate and interact with, activating snippets of what people said during the event of the holographic snapshot. And lastly but easily the biggest part is simply the level design. This is not a strictly linear level; It's a bunch of blocks of New York city recreated, but of course altered for the game setting. And there's a fair chunk of buildings you can actually go inside of, so it isn't just tons of big building exterior exposition. While it is an online PvE / PvP game, I would strongly recommend playing it just for the main story and setting.

[@cl0ud88]

The interesting thing here is that it all builds on a real Simulation that is actually called Darkwinter like in one of the trailers that the US did in 2001 to calculate what would happen in case of a smallpox terror attack. In the Fictional Game world the US creates Directive 51 as said in one of the trailers, which consists of basically trained sleeper agents in their own country and you play as one of those in the Game. This is the short explanation, there is a lot more to the actual game story and lore, with betrayal, goverment secrets, revenge and the search for the people who created the virus and all that. I could also recommend the The Division: The Agent Origins but what I personally really liked is the Audio Play which is free on Audible, or at least it was I don't know if it still is, called "The DIvision: Hearts on fire" whith Katee Sackhoff doing a really good job as the main character. Overall, Division 1 and 2 are open world looter shooters which are more or less Online RPGs with the massively multiplayer part. You have multiplayer hubs but unless you are in a group or in the Darkzone ( the pvp area) you are in your own instanced world. It is somewhat build like mmos with dungeons and raids and most of the lore of the world itself is told through information you find in the world, like texts and audiotapes but there is a linear story you follow as a second wave agent looking for what happened to the first wave. Wave here meaning who, as a sleeper agent was activated in the first group and so on.

[@mihalya.shilage6804]

It crazy to think quarantine started 6 days after the 4 year anniversary of The Division

[@JohnSmith-fy3jy]

It's is Post-Apocalyptic setting. But The Division is formed way before this event happen just to handle situation like this, the agents of division are like soldier that are off-duty and live thier daily life until you get the call, that where orange circle light lit up and they get back to duty. What make you confuse maybe because you don't carefully listen to the narrators but I don't blame you because you try to explain to us. but if you watch it again by yourself maybe you understand better

[@richardcarignan6313]

Arron Keener is the bloody boogie man of character, the spook of spookes in Division and love it. I have no idea where it will go next.

[@serpentblade8704]

considering when it came out, it pretty much described what would happen during a pandemic, coincidentally the China Originated Viral Infectious Disease-2019 (COVID-19) started during november-december during christmas holidays and spread out. This game pretty much predicted what would happen.

[@alonelywolf6205]

If you want a better grasp on the story and lore, I recommend checking out the short film they did, "Division: Origins". Ubisoft collaborated with several KZbinrs to make it, which makes each bit unique in it's own way. 😁👍

[@Fallen_Crusadr2364]

It is online. But it can also be played solo. If you want to play with other people you have to go to a safe house and either interact with people directly (if you allow seeing players in safe areas), or you can use matchmaking terminals to find players Also, about the game itself. It is a bit strange. Although the trailers are cool, they had separate videos talking about the game and world. The basic premise is that on Black Friday a virus was released, Green Poison, which ravaged New York City. The location of the outbreak. Directive 51 was enacted and the first wave of Division agents went in to secure NYC. They disappeared. Almost without a trace. So you/your team goes in as part of the second wave to pick up where the first wave left off and figure out what happened to them. I would say it's worth playing because it does have a good story to it. And the whole game can be played solo.

[@randomishere5382]

The short series ''Tom Clancy's The Division: Agent Origins'' will help you understand a bit more about what is happening..

[@Hatefour]

This game is more of a online kind of game; it's a mixture of a story mode and a pvp sort of game; the pvp portion comes from the area in the game called, 'The Dark Zone'.

[@Daniel-tt8ox]

Like what a lot of people are saying, if these grabbed your interest at all, you should definitely check out the (I think 3) Origin stories. From what I remember, I put them story/lore wise, much closer to the quality of the first video. To be honest, I was really hoping that they were included, until I say the length of the video. Hope that at some point you give them a watch! When I watched them the first time, I watched them multiple times and it definitely made me want to play, but it even more so made me wish for more video content. Kind of like how, at this point, I would love an Overwatch movies/animation series over the actual game (though still wishing we had a large single player game experience.) Edit: it looks like there are 4 videos. Forgot they are all live action, still pretty decent. No lore but gives you a "in the day when they activated" vibe.

[@breezywinter4646]

Thank you lordial I was waiting for this guy to react to the trailers. (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) Back after watching the video, this game is post apocalyptic especially the sequel if you look at the second game’s stuff as well one day. It’s just less ruined I guess you can say than most post apocalyptic games like TLOU, Destiny, FC:ND. Think of it like Dying Light but most things are still running and police, emt, firefighters and other government entities are there and are called the JTF because they are put together into one whole force but the JTF are very squishy compared to the enemies you face in the game. There’s also a story to it, just not conveyed through the trailers aside from virus outbreak in NY, civil unrest and the JTF not being ready for something like this. The Division is like a back up plan to help the JTF. (Spoiler warning) The Division was also not ready for the outbreak as the First Wave has basically disappeared, your player character is sent in as the Second Wave to finish what the first left and to find out what happened to the First Wave and also where the virus came from.

[@mozambiquehere5903]

Also Division Agents are called in case of an emergency, like minutemen. I recommend looking into lore videos to get the jist of it.

[@744Dragon]

as a fan and player its good when you play and understand the story

[@ELITESTROKES]

The game is set during the Christmas holiday time that's how the virus spread so fast. during the game there are many factions but in the first game it features the division which is normal people that have been "activated" to bring law and order back but the division agents can go rouge and that is part of the story but that's also how the PVP aspect of the game works. The ones with fire weapons are called cleaners they believe if they burn everything it will stop and kill the virus. There is a 2nd game which is in DC, and there is a 3rd game coming.

[@t2mediumplayer47]

For me best part of this game was exploring. Ubisoft always can create awesome map and it's not different here. Running around New York during winter blizzards...something special.

[@SOC_Orcus]

Dope ass game! The idea of a virus breaking out during Black Friday was a scary idea. Covid brought back memories of this game.

[@kaizammit]

Watching this with the VID in mind was kind of scary tbh.

[@nitemareriosho5393]

While not animated beyond the tech you gotta watch the irl trailers shows they made showing the activation of a squad of Agents and where they all were

[@Izoowoo]

the division 1 is a fantastic game and incredible story. there is so much lore it's impossible to unpack in one sitting. despite any of it's classic ubisoft flaws it was an amazing experience. 2 failed to capture the glory of 1 despite having massively improved graphics. and its sad. i did not expect any division 1 react content in 2024 so imagine my shock seeing a channel I come to check out every now and then reacting to it. the parallels that we can draw now after a global pandemic scare is interesting.

[@davidhines7592]

The Division IP started with the best game. it was run into the ground by being abandoned and the sequel missing what made the first game epic. now imagine playing this game during the pandemic. i think the attack amherst made was during black friday sales. the sights in dark zone 9 really bring home the scale. or a thousandth of the scale of the death toll from the virus. part of the problem with the Division 2 was... it was 7 months after the pandemic mainly burned out, in an empty city. with contrived crisis.

[@davidhines7592]

the Division is DURING the apocalypse. the division 2 which did far less well was post apocalypse but without armies of zombies.

[@Gruber122]

with the talk of simulated pandamic scenario in the trailer, you should check out the blood plague in World of Warcraft, a bug allowed a damage over time to remain on players and spread every tick of damage and spread it did

[@lykan2]

Ugh i remember the first Division Trailer well, it was so devastating.

[@OleHenrik-z6s]

They usewd real footage of black friday shops, its crazy, mixed with actors ofc.

[@tomson129]

Yeah the first is in my mind one of the best game trailers ever, still have goosebumbs watching it and will neve forget seeing it for the first time. Honestly quite like the "pharma"-like trailers, too. If you want to see something very different in terms of game advertisment, you should check out the Crysis 3 trailers, especially the "7 wonders of crysis".

[@RingoSkye]

Damn, I can make so many ticks on my list of stuff I wanted to see you react to :D Keep it up mate, can't wait to see more Tom Clancy stuff from ya!

[@LKammui]

Yo KAI, i've seen your comments on that Apex reaction video, so i already know that you'll do a video about the "Stories from the Outlands" But man am i anxious to see how you will react to them, so i gotta know, if you already have a date planned to release it to us. Cheers!

[@kaizammit]

Apex that is? It's on my list to record later this month as in nearer the end. I've got God of War to finish, there's Halo Infinite coming and Warframe 1999. Once they are done, the next wave will start, Apex is in there.

[@LKammui]

@kaizammit Nice, i'll be there!

[@pawswild]

I played multiply Tom Clancy's games, I like them, as Ghost Recon Future soldier, Wildland, Breakpoints, But Division was the first which one hit me hard. This bring the war into a City, with a realistic situation, what can be happen. And Division 2 just bring it forward. Division is Online Co-op mainly, with PVP zones. But you can make it in solo too.

[@MjolnirFeaw]

I thnk it woud have been better to see the 'chronology of a disaster' (I don't remeber how they titled it) before the 'invisible' one. So you spend less time wondering what is shown and soak in the ambiance more. This one hits hard when you just watch it...

[@Monfresso]

I would love to see you check out the Team Fortress 2 trailers. They're a bit old now, but they laid the groundwork for a lot of character-driven shooters such as Overwatch, which you've already checked out. I love your commentary and think you would really enjoy the writing of those trailers

[@tobbyingo1973]

When I got this game I was skeptical if this was worth playing, so happy I was wrong, this is one of my favorite video games ever, very good reaction video. P.S.: please react to the sequel The Division 2.

[@saltking6]

Not watching the Agent Origins that Ubisoft had made from various youtube groups, like @Corridor, I think was a miss here. While some are long, like "Escape" being 10min, they tell a way more compelling view point of the agents you are supposed to be playing as.

[@Whitewolf2x4]

The Division isn't a future dystopian game per say. It takes place on a timeline close to ours minus the pandemic being very deadly compared to covid that happened later in 2020 a few years after the first game released. You play as a Division Agent. This is someone that has been recruited by the USA federal government to be the last line of defense if all else fails. The Agents we play as in the game are part of the Second Wave. The first wave of Agents have either gone missing or where killed. As the Agents before you, our agent reports to the highest portion of the surviving government and takes orders from no one else. Typically, Agents are hidden in all aspects of society and have a set of useful skills before they are recruited. Some have backgrounds in medical, ex-military or police, trades, ect. The virus in the game was bio engineered by a individual who is very complex and smart (trying to not spoil stuff). Your job as an Division Agent to is to bring order back to NYC and hunt down the one responsible for releasing the virus. This leads down a long rabbit whole in the second game that takes place in Washington DC. You can play with up to 4 friends (coop game) running missions like restore power to the grid, tracking down research, eliminate a hostile faction holding a key location (example: the cleaners, rikers, ect). There are also areas of the game map that are pvp zones, these are called the Dark Zones. Areas where the government had to fall back and wall off parts of the city due to lack of resources, man power and too much crime. In the Dark Zone (DZ), Division Agents can find higher end gear. This area is off the grid so whatever happens in the DZ does not leave the DZ communication wise. Agents have the ability to go Rogue and kill other agents/take the gear they were trying to extract. Gear in the DZ has to be Extracted and decontaminated. This process is done by Helicopter Evac by shooting a flare and holding the evac location for a set time. There is also, a lot of lore in this game hidden around the map in the form of audio logs that you collect. Some of the factions like the cleaners (dump trucks and flamethrower guys) started off helping the government when everything started. But were abandoned due to lack of resources/gov. structure, which sent them down a dark path. Bad actors would later step in and use these groups to fight those who left them to survive on their own. The Rikers, were prisoners that were basically left to starve to death in Rikers Prison. The 5th Man Battalion (private Military Company) is another faction that showed up in the aftermath to take an advantage of the situation. There are a few KZbinrs who do amazing breakdowns for the lore of the game like NGN. The game is a looter shooter if you are considering getting it and be warned the enemies are bullet sponges. That being said, over time of leveling up your Agent and Gear you can eliminate them faster with well made gearset builds. The first game does hold a dear spot in my heart though, the atmosphere in the first game still holds up today. Ive spent so many hours strolling the streets of NYC looking for easter eggs/audio logs and always ended up getting lost just watching the snow fall at night under the street lights. The second game that takes place in DC is still releasing new seasons and events with new gear and a still expanding story. Recommend playing with friends as there is end game content that requires 4 people and raids require 8 people. But the majority of the content can be enjoyed solo. Before buying, recommend checking the game reddit pages and asking questions there. As someone who deeply loves these games, hopefully I helped explain the game a little bit without ruining it. I'd love to see you review the KZbin Channel made shorts that Ubisoft commissioned. I believe there are 3 or 4 shorts that follow agents right when they are activated. These were made by large KZbin special effects channels (at the time) that were told to make a short story about an Agent being activated. Each Agent would meet up in a final short story. That being said, the tone varies from short story to short story based off the director so keep that in mind. Sorry for the long rant.

[@richardkim3652]

They predicted Covid lol

[@kaizammit]

Kind of scary right?

[@SKRRTCOBAIN00]

Division 1&2 are IMO the best games when it comes to Looter/Shooter Great Story too but unnecessary difficulty to get into

[@evidicus]

Division 1 was amazing in some areas. Their representation of New York is unparalleled, especially for the time. Their choice to use a post-apocalyptic NYC in the dead of winter with the trappings of Christmas everywhere was inspired. The Survival DLC was a blueprint for extraction shooters before Tarkov was remotely popular. And they did nothing interesting with it. Such a waste.

[@glibchubik4090]

I absolutely love thw Division games. However these trailers, at least the first one made me think it was a horror/zombie game, so i never picked up the games till far later than everyone else.

[@MrEsphoenix]

Wasn't a big fan of the first game, but the second one was good. The story gets really interesting, but it's pretty long winded. Full of secret government organisations, double crossing and not knowing who the true enemy really is whilst you're trying to restore some form of order. Gameplay is pretty fun largely because of the gadgets that change things up from a normal shooter. And yeah, the ads weren't great. Classic ubisoft spending half their time trying to sell stuff and push live services rather than trying to immerse people into the world. It was certainly interesting playing it during the covid stuff going on lol.

​@kaizammit Ubisoft got into a lot of trouble because ths final product was quite downgraded from what was promised as pissed off as I was i still got it i personally enjoyed my experience with it despite thankfully Massive it's creator learned their lesson they capitalised on it's success with The Division 2 some love it some hate it but it's still going very successfully and getting content and honestly again it has so much potential their story telling is very good and their world building has gotten so much better I've learned as a gamer never 100% believe trailers cinamatic or otherwise because they can oversell or even undersell a product personally I never write anything off with trailer because they are so misleading especially in today's day an age.
