Fury Fingers: ‘The Diversion’

March 11, 2016 By Ms. ausretrogamer

the diversion featuredWe know it’s not retro, but we couldn’t resist sharing Fury Fingers‘ great new video with you.

The Diversion is an awesome funny film sponsored by Ubisoft (wow!) to celebrate the release of Tom Clancy’s The Division. Watch SHD agents hit the street and use the game’s many weapons and tools to take out bad-guys in all manner of creative ways.

the diversion posterThe guys (Nick, Andrew, Daniel and David) have really outdone themselves this time with the comedy, action and visual FX. Congratulations also need to go to Cody Porter for make up, JusZCosplay in the female lead role, and Task Force Taipan for creating weapons and costumes (check out the full credits).
