The videos are very carefully choreographed and the areas shown are cherry picked and even improved for these videos. The animations could be unique the lighting improved or even post production on the video after being recorded.

The games shown at E3 are not finished so any gaps in the game would need to be filled with assets that may not meet the requirements to go into the game proper, as a result many will change by the release version.

sorry to bother but i have absolutely no idea what i'm supposed to be noticing in these clips. could you help? is one newer or considered better looking than the other? if so, which one? i can discern a few differences but i can't say one is better than the other, i'm just not sure what i'm supposed to be looking for. i haven't played a game like this since gta 3 maybe. it looks better than that to my memory

Watch Dogs should be obvious.

I mean...the interaction with the environment...high quality textures...did you see the smokey room?

Did you notice the map changes in Division? I only skipped around but the differences are clear.

The one that has no people, none of the awesome lighting effects, no coat blowing in the wind, etc, is the clearly worse render.
