Benchmarking against Evolve is... eh. I'm highly sceptical on Evolve doing well sales-wise.

Do we know how The Order tracks against other titles, like say Second Son or Sunset Overdrive? (Yeah, I know SSO likely sold poor all things said and done)


I think the point is that Evolve has kind of been the media and marketing darling since E3.

It's a pretty good Benchmark given the release dates, I think.

Yeah, Evolve has been a media darling, but I've never felt like that translated into a legitimate mainstream consumer excitement for the game, unlike say, Titanfall.

Id have to do some digging to get those numbers but against more current titles.

The Order is doing slightly better than the PS4 version of Batman AK but Batman XB1+ PS4 beats it soundly. is Equal to the XB1 + PS4 Witcher III sku and is still demolishing Bloodborne.

Edited to add

Not sure what's up with Bloodborne pre order numbers but they are pretty dreadful especially when directly compared to other souls releases.
 
I think this game will do well. While we all talk about our concern over hair physics or gameplay ("It's just a movie with QTE's!!!!!") everyone else will be blown away by how unbelievably good this game looks.

And unbelievable really is the word. I did not expect genuine graphics like this from a game any time soon. Maybe a tech demo or something, but not this, now. It's a quite ludicrous achievement, and while I don't want to bait PC gamers I must say there is NOTHING that looks this good on any other system (that I've seen). I know some PC games push the boundaries in tech terms, but in actually creating a cohesive look and feel and doing it with such depth and believability... nah nothing I've ever seen demo'd comes close to what The Order 1886 is actually doing, right now, on the lowly PS4.

I now genuinely believe that, graphically at least, photorealism is nigh, if not by the end of this generation, certainly by the beginning of the next (so what 5-7 years away). Staggering how quickly graphics have come along. The fact that VR is happening, legitimately, right now as well makes me very happy at what's on the horizon. Oh and new Star Wars films and some VR photorealistic games or experiences based on that is something else!

Most annoying thing is, I will need to wait a week until payday for this game, so utterly utterly broke at the moment! :(
 
I've noticed a lot of people asking me about the Order in the past few weeks (yea, I'm the 'gamer' in my group of friends). Whatever they're doing marketing wise in the lead up to launch appears to be working. Will be interesting to see how the buzz translates to sales.
 
This gamer disagrees.

It's not the black bars, it's the wider field of view. It's clear that they didn't just letterbox the image, but built the game with the wider screen in mind. Because even the simple over-the-shoulder shots look more cinematic than anything I've seen in a game before due to the "camera" framing. And the environments look immense, dwarfing the characters, due to the way the screen is displayed.

I think the wider image was key to attaining that "filmic vision" they're going for. And in my opinion it's striking, gorgeous, unmistakably The Order.

And I highly doubt future games in the series will ditch this style.

Personally think it's such a waste of screen. There's no information of almost half the screen. You can still get a filmic view without the black bars. I've seen many movies that are truly aweinspiring cinematic experiences.. without black bars. I don't buy that it adds anything to the experience. If that was the case, Last of Us wouldn't feel cinematic.

I don't want my screensize go to waste, that's all.
 
I saw about 3 minutes of that French stream this morning, it looked pretty amazing. lots of action going on..

Must also say.. best fire effect I've ever seen in a console game.

Yea I've had friends showing interest and asking me about the game too, which kinda surprised me because these are ppl who don't know much other than COD. I think the order is going to do well for a new IP.
 
Well, I had some extra money left from my bloodborne LE pre order, so I put some down on this.

I played that demo no one liked and wasn't impressed. The new footage does look better, and after the open world gluttony I did with FC4, GTAV, DAI and ACU.... I need to play something tight and linear.

I hope its good.

You think the review embargo will end early? The game went gold a week ago, and doesn't come out for another 2 weeks.

Then again, the last press I saw for the order was negative (don't pre order, etc)
 
I hope this isn't final because it's obvious the Galahad model is slamming into and out of place in each transition.

Look at the way the rifle stock on his back jerks suddenly as he looks round the corner, or how his ENTIRE head of hair 'bounce's' as if he's just landed after a jump, it's pretty distracting.

your gonna hate my hair.

If it's any indication, some friends from the videogame media here in Peru had a conference call with one of the developers (I forget the name but I can look it up) and there was an embargo date: Feb. 10th at 9 am local time, which would also be 9 am EST if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if that's a worlwide embargo date but I suppose we'll see soon enough, it seems way too early for an embargo.

From the way it was worded it seemed like a preview embargo... which is kinda dumb but I'm not sure, will try and confirm with my friends.

Bloodborne is a very hardcore title i wonder if more people buying it on DD.
This is the first one i also buying and not disc still it good to see the order doing well.

280/1080 = ~26%.

Nowhere near 'almost half the screen'.

More like three quarters Shirley?

You can't get a 21:9 FOV picture on a 16:9 screen without black bars.
 
To clarify the Order currently has more than double the PS4 SKU for evolve and more than the PS4 and XB1 SKU's combined. This is just gamestop numbers so I don't know if that trend holds true everywhere else.

Edited to add:

XB1 Evolve pre orders passed PS4's in the last week or so but its damn close.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case in most retailers. I always thought that The Order had potential to sell quite well if marketed competently.

If it reviews decently and WOM is good, I can see the game selling over 2 million copies.

How well do you think the game will do in terms of WOM?

Considering the genre and its cinematic approach, I'd say that it's going to be decent.

When people start talking about the story elements and weapons that we don't know of, coupled with how awesome the gore seems to be, I honestly think WOM will spread rather quickly in a positive way.

This is all a guess of course.

Oh yeah I definitely see the high level of gore being WOM-worthy. Already on NeoGAF this gif has generated lots of excitement:

Oh my God, that GIF is so brutally gory and satisfying.

I hope this game sells a ton.

Didn't RAD say they want it to become a franchise.

They would be such a great addition to Sony Worldwide Studios - their talent with producing absolutely incredible visuals goes toe to toe with Naughty Dog.
 
I'm trying so hard to go dark on this game and have been.................but looking through this thread I have the biggest graphics boner I've had in a long time.

I need this in my veins.
 
Conclusion:


I must buy two copies of Bloodborne.

Yep. I want The Order to do well sales-wise, but I'd rather Bloodborne perform better. However, the development budgets are probably totally different so sales expectations and profitability will differ by probably millions of units.

Edit - also, anecdotally, a dude working in my local Game said that The Order had really good pre-order numbers. I asked how much they were going to be charging for which he did not know, but said that it has got a lot of pre-orders so based on that demand Game would probably be charging £55.
 
So will the German version be cut in any way? Since the game seems so sport senseless killing of humans im afraid they'll cut that awesome soft body flesh ripping stuff :/

It's not senseless.

The mustache god demands sacrifice. Denying him blood offerings would be senseless.
