Man, so many CAPS. I know it's to show emotions, but it's so damn annoying now. I feel like I'm getting yelled at.

This gives me hope that what they showed with the Witcher 3 is going to actually be achievable. I am so hyped for the future of this gaming cycle
Exactly. But this is GAF, so you shouldn't have expected much more.
This is exactly what I'm saying as well I basically see a gameplay reveal as a failure when it doesn't properly convey what your game is about gameplay wise.
When Sony first showed off killzone gameplay you could see exactly what the game was about same with uc2, Gow3, infamous, last of us etc.

Uncharted did pretty well.
Japan just needs to make an ad like this for The Order.

Heh heh heh.. QTE's. Glad I don't mind them.

There was definitely something 'extra' about the way Galahad moved between cover points, the cloth simulation I think.. seemed extra fluid. Also I liked that he could go pretty seamlessly from crouched cover to another cover point but standing, in one motion.
Gears' appeal was that it just felt really good and predictable, I'm hoping for more of that in this game. They sure decided to tackle an ambitious title coming off handhelds.

I don't understand how people seeing this can't be cynical. New generation, new flagship game, yet the gameplay shown is literally indistinguishable from the first Gears of War. Destruction is supposedly a big deal, but they don't show it. Hey guys we have all kinds of cool weapons, let's not show those either. Instead let's show a QTE but we'll say it's not a QTE.
My friend. I AM yelling at you.

I think it looks extremely rad. My guess is that the gameplay variety will lie mostly with tense, dark environments versus shoot-em-up portions, and the the fantasy/steampunk weapons.
I'm very excited.
As for why they didn't show us more? Uhhh, because it comes out in the fall and we still have E3 and other games conferences to build up hype for their major release?

It's probably not ready to show yet. I'm hoping it will have quite a large impact on the gameplay which is possibly why they have only shown a corridor sequence.
That's exactly my point. We know these things are in the game because that's exactly what earlier previews like the GI article described. RaD has also previously outlined their philosophy for the contextual melee but we barely got a glimpse of it here. We didn't get to see the other branches, or the other options aside from the knife.
This was a piss poor preview of the game. Be wary, though. Its one thing to be disappointed with the preview, but a whole other thing to be concerned with the direction of the game this far from launch. We saw vanilla TPS with a glimpse at a greater QTE design. Its idiotic to glean from this any greater truth about the title except that its a TPS.
What exactly is "last gen gameplay"...? And since this ties in to "next gen gameplay", what is that? I've been seeing this a lot on this forum in the last 3 months.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The reason we see what we see is because, most likely, this slice of gameplay represents the most visually polished and complete portion of the game. And was probably prioritised so they'd have something to show the press.
PR is rarely in the business of showing off half finished, incomplete content that's not going to blow your mind due to graphical polish generally coming in the later stages of development.

As much as I YEARNED for footage of The Order, I feel overall now that they should have waited for a proper gameplay reveal if certain aspects (namely soft-body physics, but the non-combat stuff like detective work, too) weren' t ready to show off. You really have to BLOW peoples' minds with a gameplay reveal.

Looks fun, though it is pretty much Gears of Steampunk.
Not a bad thing mind, I love Gears.
And OMG is it beautiful.

It's insane how much difference cloth physics make to a character model. To see his entire ensemble shift and sway with his movement adds a lot to a character that I didn't think it would. Adds a nice sense of realism and depth
That's golden! I love Harrison Ford so much and I couldn't agree more. Sony should totally make an ad like that. With Banderas and Ford together.

It's an easy dismissive criticism that you don't have to back up.
When a game obviously presents well and seems popular, you can always knock it htis way.
Notice that no one demands "next gen gameplay" on PC. Which is where we'd see it logically, since PC is so far out in front of the consoles, right...? etc

I didn't expect that to be a big deal. But I think this is the first time I've seen "heavy", non-clippy, cloth. Those dusters when he rolls, it's just crazy looking. Like it's prerendered.
Choosing to do one thing or the other in a QTE is very Heavy Rain like.

I may have been slightly harsh on this game before but come on "lots of QTE filler"? We saw one QTE out of like a 6-10 hour game. You can't just extrapolate stuff like that

I'm not convinced this will release this year since they're seemingly being forced to use beginning-of-game footage. Is that really all they have to show?

Gameplay looks like more of the same, but I am loving the visuals. Absolutely stunning.

I am not impressed with the gameplay, it looks like another Uncharted or TLOU. So cinematographic for me.
If you didn't notice, the title of the video is "E3 2009". The Order will pretty much 100% surely get a similar treatment at E3 this year. We are only at February 2014, atm. This is only the modest start for The Order's marketing, they'll gear it up as the year goes on and the release gets closer.
From the way they were describing the QTE sequences, they're gonna be pretty frequent.. At least that's what I got from it. Hopefully I'm wrong

That looked insane. The character models look so good.
I don't get why they'd show gameplay where it looked like somebody was having trouble aiming. I imagine that won't be a problem when the game drops though. Please make the actually act of people fun RAD. Please let this game deliver

Hopefully not. I suppose we will see at E3 though. This coming out at the end of the year to me confirms no Uncharted this year obviously....

Yeah same. I thought "oh great cloth physics that's nice I guess" but to see it in motion really adds a nice touch. It's hard explain. It seems to connect the character together a bit more I guess. Watching cloth twitch from gun recoil is very nice.
The game really does have some striking visuals gameplay arguments aside

I can't tell when the cutscene ends and the gameplay starts.
1st "Next-Gen" game of this gen.

I kind of agree with this. If this was all they could show now, I think it would have been better to get maybe another in-engine cinematic trailer and/or more screenshots of gameplay and then drum up anticipation for a full gameplay demo/reveal at E3.
Then maybe they should show some more.
Blame the devs/publisher for wanting people to get hyped based on nothing.
I dunno what it is about the footage but I see a stream of brilliance with extremely discernible blemishes thoughout that just reeks of a lack of polish.
I agree that this footage was rushed into the public's hands. This game needs a lot more time to cook in the oven and a 2014 release date is really looking like a bad idea to me.
It definitely looks like a stunner but it could all be for nothing unless Sony gives RAD some breathing room into 2015.

Killzone:SF significantly demo-ed only 2 stages ( forest & hostage ) throughout the entire period of the game's marketing, even up till September. Game was fully featured and complete.
inFamous has only demo-ed 3 areas thus far. The E3 demo, the entry to Seattle, and the harbour. The open-world hasn't been shown in actual gameplay outside of developer videos and screen shots. And it's releasing next month.

It's a pretty weak showing, it showed us nothing new. We got a good look at the graphics, but we already knew that they were good. They half assed the rest. Nobody can tell if the gameplay is good or bad or if the QTE's work or not. Why did Sony show this to us? What purpose?
Just look back to the Uncharted 2 and TLOU gameplay reveals. We immediately got a sense of what these games were about and why we should get exited!
I see these shitty reveals by alot of Sony games. Infamous is handled horrible, where we have been looking to the same segment over and over. And lo behold they showed us another gameplay video that takes place in a fuckin tunnel. Yeah that will hype the shit out of this game. MLB is supposed to be the shit, but no video. Driveclub... yeah.
Whoever is in charge of this at Sony... you suck!
