I don't understand the concern about The Order.

It seems to be a "linear, cinematic third person shooter that heavily combines set pieces and interactive cutscenes with stand cover based shooting"

That is also an exact description of Uncharted, yet no one is worried about Uncharted 4.

I think because they went all in on cinematic....its kind of a huge gamble, so far the only games to get cinematic gaming right have been Uncharted, God of War, Journey and Call of Duty... so many games labeled as "cinematic" end up suffering in the gameplay department because of it so it has people nervous. Two poor demo showings didnt help either as both demos showed of fairly standard TPS shooting in a fairly drab area (graphically) of the game with QTE sequences.

I have no doubt though that RAD is going to knock it out of the park with this one though. I think they showed it a bit to early and the stand out scenes werent ready.

 

[biteren]

anyone got the link for the TGA count down timer?

 

[Darksol]

I just love the setting, the art style, the atmosphere and the lycans. And also: Nikola Tesla is in the game, supplying them with fancy gadgets and crazy weapons.

And Shinobi also said that the bullet damage and gore will be insane. I love it when developers don't hold back on that stuff. One of the many reasons I liked playing TLOU was that the melee combat was so brutal and the shotgun, oh man. blowing limbs and heads off up close was so satisfying.

This deserves to be on the new page.

If Naughty Dog reveals that it has been working on this:

I will be more than satisfied.

 

[kyser73]

Bro this game. This fucking game. THIS GAME.

Have you made your test cheesecake yet?

The level of ambition you have for that cheesecake needs preparation.

 

[Naughty_Doge]

I wonder if Cory's just talking about the graphics. Yes, it always looked amazing.

Well, he said he saw the game, not that he played the game, so it's hard to tell.

I also heard the early demos suffered some technical problems like framerate etc, and Shinobi has said that they are basically working in turbo mode to get the game finished. So if resources are strained, it probably made sense for them to show demos with minimal gameplay because that would require the least QA and testing before being shown. An intricate gameplay sequence would take far longer to polish to the point of being presentable.

Im really starting to feel The Order is going to rock people's socks off. I so badly want this game to do great and get greenlit for sequels. The concept is too promising!

I got the dynamic theme for my PS4 today and was really impressed by the music. It was so good, if the game has as much soul as the music does I am going to be a very happy gamer come Feb.

Spoiler

good music in a game is huge for me

 

[benny_a]

I'm also hugely interested in Horizon but it being from Guerrilla Games and being in third person dampens my interest a bit.

It's in third person? Where is that info from?

 

[thuway]

I'm working on it!!

 

[Darksol]

Goodnight GAF. Provide me with plenty of amusing things to read upon my return.

 

[kyser73]

Shinobi, on the leaked artwork thread.

 

[bananafactory]

I'm also really curious to see what Bend puts out.

Open world survival game sounds awesome, wonder if we see it this weekend or not until E3?

 

[cloudzack117]

so is there any chance that persona 5 shows up at some point htis weekend? i want to see more of potter-kun

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I'm a vindictive person. I want The Order to be good so I can rub it in the face of all the people I know who told me it'd be terrible. I'm so sick of people jumping on games before they've played them or because they're "cinematic."

Plz deliver RAD.

 

[benny_a]

Shinobi, on the leaked artwork thread.

Thanks!

 

[Reveirg]

Atlus teased a P5-ish thingy for February so it's highly unlikely for this weekend (but still possible I guess).

 

[Patapwn]

I get that but people are saying "the gameplay looks boring", which has nothing to do with the IP.

Some sort of cutscene every 5 seconds, over abundance of qtes, overly scripted gameplay that doesn't have any variance or tension, boring ass level design one could go on and on. It also doesn't help that people who have played the game have concurred this.

I want the game to be great but I'm worried that RAD failed on the concept stage with a hyper focus on the wrong things

I just want it to be good so I can enjoy it and it gets sequels

 

[Gusto]

I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm so hyped! Wish me luck GAF, on bringing back a 20th anniversary PS4. I really REALLY want one for Christmas....

 

[JABEE]

EA will be at the keynote!

 

[bananafactory]

Is it The Order hype time now? I'm down with that. Something we will DEFINITELY get to see this weekend!

 

[Nimby]

What the fuck. Another day, another Crash tease from Sony. Just announce the damn thing or stop teasin' please.

 

[rich7sena]

EA will be at the keynote!

Does that mean we're finally getting DriveClub PS+ edition?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Well that too

 

[viveks86]

This is my favourite The Order video

There are plenty of concern trolls, but a lot of people who are critical also want it to be good. i don't care if levels are corridors or if there are frequent cutscenes. It's just the gameplay has to good and the cutscenes compelling. It's the execution that matters. I don't want another Max Payne 3 where I'm losing control of my character every thirty seconds so they can throw garbage soliloquies and video effects at me.

 

[Donthizz#]

Sony should pay EA and keep them off stage. fuck.

 

[Rajang]

Does that mean we're finally getting DriveClub PS+ edition?

I really dislike that guy.

 

[Snakeyes]

Wonder if that rumored SCEJ "FF-killer" will make an appearance.

 

[Pachimari]

Why?

I don't know. I guess I want it in first person so that the dinosaurs looks even bigger. And Guerrilla because they didn't set the world on fire with their last 2 Killzone attempts. Cambridge apparently did a much better job I'm Vita.

But I'm in love with the concept.

IIRC verendus and co teased about this some time back.

I don't understand the concern about The Order.

It seems to be a "linear, cinematic third person shooter that heavily combines set pieces and interactive cutscenes with stand cover based shooting"

That is also an exact description of Uncharted, yet no one is worried about Uncharted 4.

I for one hope they shake up the gameplay in Uncharted 4. There were way too many shootouts in the past 3 and I would like more platforming and puzzle solving.

But I'm in love with the concept.

I think the change they need also applies to the perspective. I don't want to experience giant robot dinosaurs down a gun sight. And if I'm going to mount them or sneak I'd rather see my entire avatar. As long as the shoulder cam isn't too tight and narrow.

 

[LycanXIII]

Probably Battlefield Hardline stuff.

 

[Rajang]

Hmm.. Maybe a Legend of Dragoon game? Or a completely new IP? Interesting..

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Wonder if that rumored SCEJ "FF-killer" will make an appearance.

I remember a short video that leaked resembling the "kara" tech demo. Was it ever known what that video was? I remember speculation that it was the rumored SCEJ game.

 

[biteren]

if they do, i may have to boo

 

[bananafactory]

Probably Battlefield Hardline stuff.

[BakedYams]

we all know it looks beautiful, give me consistent gameplay that isnt a bunch of cutscenes and ill buy the game day one.

Looks amazing, but how does it play??

this. no one is mentioning gameplay, seems hyped up for no reason if its just eye candy.

If Naughty Dog reveals that it has been working on this:

I will be more than satisfied.

E3 homie.

EA will be at the keynote!

EA? Hmmmm....

Wonder if that rumored SCEJ "FF-killer" will make an appearance.

Verendus mentioned an RPG from Sony, I doubt it'll make an appearance if its a new IP. Probably save it for E3.

 

[wmlk]

It's a fake. It's from a completely unrelated video.

Something is up his sleeve! New tattoo. Titanfall?

uncharted already has developed, well known, and well liked characters.

whatever we've seen on the order characters was all boring so far.

I played that demo of The Order at Gamescom and if that is any indication, Uncharted is way more dynamic in its gameplay. Looking forward to seeing more from The Order though.
