I can see my copy over there. It looks beautiful :D
 
Welcome back Worthy!


Thanks! Been back for a month or two but have stayed mostly quiet besides in the Amiibo thread and some others.

Damn though. Order will be fantastic no doubt and RAD is such an incredible developer soooo hold on to yer butts. Youre in for a ride! Also, no spoiler thread anyone! Need to go in with nothing.

Similar criticisms were leveled at Driveclub and occasionally still are, its realistic lighting system results in what people consider "drab" and "colorless" environments especially during cloud cover because that's simply how things look in that situation.

I'm always surprised how often people look at a screen/moment from a game and figure that's representative of the whole experience (re: color variety). As though the whole game's setting takes place in that room/moment. And there are certainly games that lean on the drab side or feel a little too monotone, but it seems like there's some confusion for when to level that point. A week before release may not be the best timing, lol

Yeh, the day 1 (or pre-release) prices are bad but for The Order, I wouldn't mind paying extra to get it early :D

Should be here early next week

Can you believe I still get calls from my "guy" about early pre-release games? It's amazing how no one follows release date code if you wander into the market :).

No doubt, It's amazing indeed :)

I just noticed the most important upgrade between the two builds, there are air ships in the final!
Also notice that since cutscenes are real-time, the weapons are different, not to mention the extra grenade in the retail build.
 
New version looks more realistic to me. First one seems more video gamey. Things blend together less cohesively, and there's some aggressive black levels.
Yeah i agree completely. It's just a completely more natural. It's also more cinematic. dirty word, i know. But it's what they want to achieve.

I do think the game will show more detail, colour depth and variation in colour on our plasmas.

I wish plasma wasn't dead. I want one :(
 
I think, for me, the perfect look would be a halfway point between those two builds. The bottom one is a little too foggy and grey, but the top one is too clean and colourful for the tone/setting of the game.

I agree. Subjective artistic direction aside, I'm not a fan of the muted tonal palette I've seen employed in the cutscenes so far.

Also had no idea who Andrea Pessino was til I looked him up. Damn dude is jacked!

Wait. So I have a 50' Hitachi plasma in the bedroom and a 50' 5 Series Samsung LED in the living room. Should I be playing on my plasma?

Sadly the equation isn't simply Plasma > LCD - it depends on the TV in question. But you should be able to determine for yourself which of your tellies provide you with the better picture, no?

TBH I never really compared. When I got the Samsung I kind of just stopped using the Hitachi. I should experiment.
 
How can you possibly dismiss someone elses opinion on what something is worth to them personally?

Games being "great" is a completely subjective thing...as with "worth every penny." I respect that to YOU they are worth it, but to simply dismiss his opinion on the matter is ignorance, not an opinion...

I'm sorry I though we were talking about opinions? All I did was state my opinion of his opinions. Is that not what we are doing here? No opinions is truth. He is free to disagree with my opinion. To me his opinion is wrong, to him my opinion is wrong. There is nothing wrong with that. I was just thinking that since we are all stating our opinions maybe i could state mine. Still, I'll refrain from making a video of it. Opinions, opinions, onions.

In all seriousness though do you not feel that when qualifying how much something is "worth", that the quality of that something should be taken into account?

Ok just on my way back from Q&A with the Dev which was nothing short of fascinating and really fun.

Also played two levels:

This game is very much the real deal. There i said it. For me there hasnt been a level of cinematic gameplay and chracterization on this level in a game since TLOU.

First level: minor spoilers if your into locations.....

Westminster Bridge
a huge firefight across the bridge with all your AI buddies running around you and chaos raining down. London looks incredible the gfx are off the chain. Im sort of gonna ramble here so bear with me. Visually this is the best looking game on ANY platform the atmosphere I got from it was a kind of resident evil meets Killzone but in 1886 its dark and eeerie RAD have simply nailed victorian London. Like real London the place is cobbled narrow and short with a slight musk on the air. Explosions look stunning lighting and distance effects impeccible.

Controls? Very responsive and smooth, not a slight hiccup in frame rate either with ALOT going on. What you probably dont get a feel for in the footage is how inaccurate and loose the guns feel which I have tk say I LOVED. guns have a real old school feel to them as hand guns pop in your hand and machine guns spray hoplessly out of control. The tesla gun is extrenely powerful one shot kill but take a while to charge. They are a specialty weapon.

NOTE 1: this game is HARD you won't be streaming through this game immediately, im a seasoned gamer and i died about 5 times in the first 5 seconds.

Its tactical, run and gun gears style and youll be dead in seconds galahad is skilled but has an air of old timer about him. The demo was short and ran us across the bridge all along the way your fellow knight shouting valuable and intense info As well as actually helping you out and manouvering to tactical popositions. As I went down for the 4th time a fellow knight runs to my body laying down covering fire as I try and drink my precious blackwater (after about 10 seconds you can crawl followed by prompts to drink my blackwater and furiously mash X to recover more health).

Second demo was the one on the air ship and fairly straught forward but here was more tight knit and allowed for more melee and destruction (you shoot wood and it splints) yes its that kind of level of detail. Weve all seen the walkthrough but in person on your screen in native res we are in for a stunning treat. The dedetail is so incredibke you can oractically feel the textures of the cloth. One instance the minute fuzzy bobbles on a parker style coat particularly standing out i was floored.

If you are someone womderinf about exploring wide environments and getting lost in pointkess escapades let me say now this is not the game for Yo, nor is it a QTE fest (there was one in my enturentire time with the game). The level of detail in the story was apparant from the panel section and its something I will delve into next.

Key points from the panel.

-Very likely to be story focused DLC Jack the ripper was asked about, the reoly was "there were maby important figures at that time"

- No chance of the royal family being characters in the game.

-No mp planned nor wi there ever be.

-Hinted at a sequel being more open world, when asked about it he Ru (creative director) mentioned they were looking at it.

-The story has been planned from 1886- present day, he reiterated the story had to make sense to him through that timeliNe.

-Knights are rereplaced and chosen by the order when one dies.

-SPOILER!!!......... Galahad has died once aalready.

-Biggest inspiration on the game was Metal Gear Solid, Alien, James Bond and TLOU.

-The plan is for more games spanning multiple contries and time frames.


-THERE WILL BE AN ART BOOK

the main point I took was this is a very very strong story game with tight and very intense gameplay and hinestly I cant wait for next week.

Any questions and ill try and defrazzle my brain and answer them.
 
55" Panny GT30 here. It's going to be a sad day when it kicks the bucket.
I'm still kicking myself for not buying a VT last year when plasma was in it's death throes.

In that scenario I would have relocated the GT to the ceiling above the bathtub... so I could enjoy any future Cerny bombs.

To counteract any talk of a downgrade, all they've really done is colour grade the game near the end, as you would do with a movie or any audiovisual product like this. Maybe they played around with it and thought it fit the mood they were going for better. The original clips would be closer to a raw capture, and they've dialled it in (while refining the rendering techniques and adjusting lighting in scenes also, a benefit of creating a game rather than a movie).

Posted this and see the commenter above is warning of someone spoiling something. WELL DONE whoever that douche was. Well timed comment from me, lol, I'm out of here now!

Well I didnt think it was much of a spoiler since the Creative Director said it wasnt integral to the story and woukdnt be touched upon much....would he really ruin the game in front of us lime that?

Also I did say spoiler before just in case (I dont know how to officially tag spoilers on here)

Sorry
 
Didn't manage to spoil myself, almost, but not quite. Protip on here to make spoiler tags:

[ spoiler] [/ spoiler] Close the tags to create spoiler black bars. You should probably really do that. Like, right now.

Spoiler tagged or not those shouldn't even be in here.

If I were you I would just edit your post to remove all that and re-post it in the spoiler thread here

You can use [spoiler ] [/ spoiler] tags around your post to block parts out

On that note I think it's officially time to not go into another Order thread until the OT goes up next week. Too much of a risk with spoilery impressions like that popping up, even though there's already a spoiler thread for specifically that reason.
