Yeah. The enemies actually try to move and flank you.
Yesterday, I would have said Driveclub was the best looking console game I have seen, I can't say that anymore.

If Sony's publishing, they own the IP anyway.
So is Uncharted and TLOU.

I liked this game before it was cool. 
There's a -100% chance it'll release on Xbox One.

This looks amazing, much more interesting than early trailers led me to believe. The soundtrack sounds pretty good, too.

linearity isn't necessarily bad. In fact, it helps when you're trying to tell a story. Also this guy is horrible at playing games. I wonder if there was a language barrier for the instructions but still, is this how most people play games or something?
I think character and story depth will be the most important since that's their focus. If they go all out to display the story, any flaws it has will really stand out.
The guy was most likely French because video was posted by French gaming channel.
Does Gamersyde has any presence on the show? We need their video.

Well their hard work definitely shows. You wouldn't know if there's a chance of them being sucked into Sony's first party if this is a success? I'm assuming that Sony own the IP because from the whole Insomniac going to Microsoft thing it seemed Sony wants to own all the IPs they publish.Around 4 years in the making now, back in 2010
They started preliminary engine work 7-8 years ago.
You're right. That's not always necessarily the case, but it is with Sony.
Thanks for turning my cool/smart reply into a dumb one.

Yeah that's what I thought because he clearly wasn't getting the lock picking mechanic.
I really want to play this game now. I hope this mission didn't spoil any major story elements. Didn't seem like it. The guns seem suitably heavy (in that there's some impact and weight to them) and the sound effects are great.

OK. But then at 11:15 - none of the shadows from those rails are cast. I can only believe that means there is some LOD for casting shadows.. which is lame tbh.
This isn't just the best looking game on the PS4 It's arguably the best looking game across all platforms including the PC

For sure.
I also want to see an area with NPC's walking around where there is no fighting going on. I'm pretty sure I heard that there are areas like that (i think it was shinobi), London at this time was a busy place, I hope we see a bustling city scene and not just a tavern or something with a few NPC's.
Something along these lines

That depends on if RAD wants to remain independent...

Always bummed out when you're not given an option for nonlethal stealth takedowns. I don't care if it affects anything in the story or gameplay, I just like to have the option.
For those who did not see, Game Informer did a series of videos about RAD and Order 1886 last year.

Yeah was that knife in the neck really necessary? I imagined The Order more classy and honorable.
I hope we do too. I assume that moments like that are what RaD wants to save for when people get their hands on the game.
Yeah, watched those vids multiple times actually.
I really like RaD. I loved every game they made, with Daxter and Ghost of Sparta being my favorite. I can't wait to get my hands on The Order.
It does not look as QTE as God of War, and even then that is one of the most well regarded action series around.
I love cinematic third person action games and the Victorian / steampunk setting, half-breeds, and characters have me enthralled. I hear some of the concerns but I don't care anymore. I preordered the game and on launch day I am putting in the disc and judging for myself.
Ready at Dawn has done solid work. I think I can trust them to deliver.

I was thinking the Uncharted 4 melees looked terrible too, but I'm always down on that series because the traversal and puzzles in Uncharted are such a let-down every time
Not sure what to say about the breaks in this though, they still seem unfinished, unless the little cutscene in place of a "game over" followed by a jarring blank state reload is final. The bullet time search for a button prompt I remember being intended to add choices to the QTEs, I'll withhold judgement on that for now. This video gives the impression the QTEs are spaced out a bit, which is good news if indicative of most of the game.
Level design seems better than I expected, and the AI does seem competent enough. Variety in enemies and tactics and how much the environment comes into play are going to make or break this game, and there's not much to judge that on in this video. The worldbuilding is so incredible it seems utterly wasted with so little meaningful interaction for long stretches in this sequence. I thought initially this game was supposed to have a lot of destructible geometry and such?
Right now, everything looks so familiar that I'm left mostly feeling like I've played this game several times already, and now my brain wants to nitpick silly things like "how the hell can no one see a guy aiming a rifle over a railing 20 feet away." Shooting pots and pans looks fun, though.
Judging from this short clip: I don't think it's actually possible to make a more bare bones third person shooter than this.
Developers don't need to invent revolutionary new features for every game they make of course, but The Order seems to have hit a new low in minimalism, seemingly having fewer or far shallower mechanics than even other simple cinematic third person shooter franchises like Uncharted, Mass Effect and Resident Evil.
Nothing shown here hasn't been done much much better a hundred times before in other games.
I guess this just goes to show how important impressive visuals still are.

I'm struggling to imagine how that was your takeaway from this clip. Holy hell.

Your right. As much as I want to see an area like that I would rarher see it first when playing the game myself. I'm curious as to how many scenes like that there are. I wonder there is some kind of hub you can visit and go see Tesla with scematics or parts for new weapons and upgrades and stuff. That would be cool but I don't know how that would fit in with the games linearity. I imagine you probably just get givin new weapons as you progress? I dunno. Either way I'm dying to play this game.

When you call a 36-minute clip "short", and reading nonsensical stuff like that, you know you're dealing with a troll.
I like that their approach has been back-to-the-basics, actually. Way too many games these days are going for bullet points rather than simple, effective design (open world, 5000+ hours of optional collectathon content, 50 usable skills for the sake of having 50 buttons to press). What you see as tired, I see as refreshing in today's gaming climate.

Wow.....just wow
Yah that jarred for me too. Sticking an enormous knife in someone's throat doesn't seem in character really if they have the option otherwise.
I guess the entire scenario is set up with early dialogue authorising lethal force but still. Just seemed over the top. TBH ignoring the lethal side that kind of killing is very messy, doesn't seem to fit with bring covert either.
I guess there's no thief style hide the bodies so I suppose it hardly matters since the level design will assume onvious bodies and lots of blood aren't an issue once you're past that opponent.
This game is using too many filters to give it that much credit.
Probably the best on consoles though. Uncharted 4 looks more impressive to me because of the scale, but Order makes for a better screenshot.
You say they dont but you whole post makes it sound like they have to.
Or a shill.
This. As long as the gunplay is solid, and the A.I. isn't terribad, I won't complain. I might be in the minority here, but I actually think the 'branching melee QTE' look kind of cool. I'd rather try something like that then a simply one hit knife kill attack.
Coming from a primarily PC / Xbone user, I think this game looks incredible. Sure, it gameplay looks pretty simple, but what's wrong with that? As long as the game is fun, who cares how "generic" it is. The art design looks fantastic.
My only concern would be those black bars... They look extremely distracting, and I hated the same bars in The Evil Within. Totally an immersion breaker. Can't wait to pick up a PS4 next year for this and Bloodborne.

I don't want to go there. You can have your opinion but there are several things that detract from it being on that pedestal (especially comparing it to PC games that can push 4k visuals). One of them being the game can't even display the full 1080p.

Game is also cheating on the reflections.

That looks weird. I bet it's just an approximation projected onto the reflective surface. No color information for the reflection pass.

Since we're talking about games not released then no. That belongs to Star Citizen with it's 30+ million poly scenes 4k+ textures etc etc. No other game is coming close to that.
Makes sense to me. He's saying the gameplay is very bare-bones cover-based TPS and that the visuals seem to be the only thing that make this game special.
