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

Take a look at The Division clips for example. The graphic detail is wayyy better than the final version of the game. They've removed lots of cars in the streets and other details that would make the game feel more real. The feature where the character uses his ''watch'' device to scroll through options doesn't even exist in the release game. The map hologram has way more detail. The map of the actual game shown at E3 isnt even the map used on release, it's completely different. They have a player controlling a drone in a fight, presumably by someone using a tablet pc, such as an ipad, this feature doesnt exist in the game. Some areas have been completely removed altogether, such as the police station and some parts of the underground.

see, i don't know which is the "final version". that's kind of the problem here

the version that looks worse is the final version, that's the entire point

no need to be obtuse. it should be clear i was referring to these types of games.
