Pre-release
Final Build
Pretty close.
Um...
It's fog / polluted smog, which London was full of back then. All these comparison photos have been of the same section in Whitechapel. First pic looks more video gamey, while the second looks more like London. Interior shots aren't blurry.

Has there ever been any game where the final product is more ambitious and grander than the original vision?
I mean, at the end of the day, it's far easier to theory-craft and think of all the different, cool ideas that a game could potentially include/have than to actually make all those ideas work in a single, coherent package filled with art and tech.
Even someone like Kojima ( probably one of the most, if not most ambitious dev in terms of having a very grand vision with a large array of different gameplay ideas within a single title ) has been known to been forced to scale back his ambition, like with MGS3.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Just hate renting games I feel worthy of buying lol.
That's not entirely true, the character models are slightly different; they have scarves now and Ingraine is carrying more equipment.

Youtube compression compared to gamersyde screenshot, and the newer version has a lot more post processing effects applied and is set at night while the older version seems to just have DoF, Ingraine's hair is rendered better in the newer version as well. Also take into account that they're wearing their stealth outfits instead of the default Knight outfits in the older version.

Just let it go. Or you will have to react to plenty more of these bait posts (the comparison post i mean). They always seem so harmless.

One spoiler question for those who have played:Pre-release
Final Build
Pretty close.
are the marks on Izzy's face significant? I don't want a detailed answer, just a yes or no

Sorry, I meant where the assets are the same, they look consistent quality-wise (the background bricks, ledge, faces, etc.
You're right about the clothes and equipment being changed so hard to compare those.
The Knights will change outfits in the game based on the story. They don't wear the ornamental garb for everything.
Also, comparing a direct feed screenshot to compressed youtube screen grab...
Yes. The games I replayed the most in my life are TLOU, UC2, UC3, GodW2/3, Dead Space 2, RE4 and MGS3. I know most of those games are quite a bit more dynamic in terms of gameplay, but as I am an experience gamer, that is not really the reason I replayed those that much. If there are great setpieces, badass shootouts and well written characters/interactions, I am likely to pick it up again some time later. I like those "rollecoaster ride" type of games. Similar to rewatching my favourite scenes/episodes of good series or rewatching great movies, I tend to revisit them.
I never replayed any open world title or RPG in my life (they do take longer to finish though, and in the case of GTA I like to come back to mess around a bit). So to each his own.
Oh, that makes much more sense.
I starting dreading some DriveClub-style downgrade from pre-release ---> retail.

Driveclub wasn't downgraded either.
In fact, most games that people claimed downgrade on, weren't.
I really like the setting, and atmosphere, in the game. I honestly wouldn't mind a survival horror game in a similar setting. Maybe not London exactly, but more early 20th century Germany. Mix in some grounded fantasy elements, make it suitably creepy, and keep it somewhat cinematic too. I was thinking about this a week ago, and I don't think I've played many games that had a Germany influenced setting. I think there was a Shadow Hearts game, but I can't remember that well. It seems like the kind of setting where you could explore some interesting elements in a more fantastical world.
I'm down for an The Order: 1886 TV show though.

At this point even if some things were downgraded it wouldn't matter since the game is one of the best looking games ever from a graphical standpoint.

this never mentioned just once. i think it's just a little nod to their cause of fighting lycans
DriveClub get a downgrade ? This is pretty new to me.

I wish it was explored a bit, but meh, good enough for me! Thanks!
You came all the way from the MGS thread for that?
Just kidding. I chuckled.
yes

Lol I was going to call those ones out but thought I would just let it go.
DS2 was the most obvious I had ever seen. So disappointing.
DriveClub wasn't downgraded. It was upgraded if anything. Unless you're referring to the effects of super sampling. Obviously the real game was never going to be super sampled the way the press shots were, but the retail photo mode shots are every bit as good if not better.
Game was great IMO! Put about 150 hrs into, but yeah, absolutely a downgrade. Very depressing.
Mods helped, but, still wasn't the same

No confirmation on any plans, though?
I'd prefer a new game/sequel, too.

Yeah I only played about 10 hours, meant to go back but just ended up trading it in (didn't have the time to sink).
Thinking about getting the PS4 version but I'm wondering if I will even need it now that Bloodborne is almost out
That's true, The Order is already head-and-shoulders above everything else on the market.
Yea, if I recall correctly, I got suckered in by some B-roll footage that released mere days before release on some bootleg site.
It wasn't representative of the retail release; it was either down- or super sampled.

Yes. Holy shit. Can you imagine a tv series in this setting?
Do yourself a favor and get the PS4 versions during any part of summer thats slow on games after you finished up w/ bloodborne. It's an amazing game, despite being worse than Dark Souls 1.
(should be cheaper by then too!)
I totally understand if you're avoiding it because you don't want to sully your gameplay experience, but WOW is that Knights Theme excellent. I almost wish I'd gone Collectors so I could get the soundtrack, but having one Steelbook on my shelf would bother me to no end. (If you haven't heard it yet: https://soundcloud.com/playstation/the-knights-theme Apparently, First Light also has a great soundtrack. Didn't make an impact on me while playing it, but its theme at least is fantastic.)
From what I'm reading here, I should be really excited for The Order: 1887 and expect it to be the series's AC2 or Uncharted 2. But I'm super excited for 1886.
P.S.: Soundtrack hits iTunes Tuesday for $11.
P.P.S.: This game have a photo mode?

I think its possible.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R71A532/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Amazon has a listing for $28, but it's labelled as an "import." Unless I'm missing something, the page doesn't say anything about what territory it's being imported from. I would assume somewhere in Europe? U.K., maybe?
EDIT: It's worth noting this is the first imported product I've seen on Amazon that's Prime eligible.
Orochi coming in like clockwork. It never fails.
Lol reading this puts a smile on one's face.

Well maybe it's 2 hours or 2,5. I didn't measure the time, but the majority of it is cutscenes.
So 1,5 hours or 2,5 hours doesn't seem like a big difference either way. Obviously depends on the player.
If you really get into finding collectibles I'm sure you can spend much more time with it. Or if you play on hard difficulty (which I wasn't).
But my best guess, based on what I have captured it's around 1,5h-2h gameplay and rest was cutscenes. Take the first 4 chapters for example, maybe 35% of that was gameplay. Some chapters consist only of cutscenes. And often times there are these "interactive" cutscenes with QTEs where you need to press some buttons, but I wouldn't count that as gameplay.
It's more of an interactive movie to me, which isn't a bad thing. Hence the film stripes. So calm down everyone. Jesus

thats his claim

Going to look into this. By the time I finally get around to watching it, if it doesn't deliver what I wanted, I'm going to send you a sternly worded PM (mainly consisting of me probably crying but you get the idea) in a few months if I still remember it was you. Your life is on the line now.
So far:
"Psychological thriller that takes place in the dark corners of Victorian London" and James Bond starring is a pretty good start. Not bad. Sort of intrigued.

Trying captions out for the first time.
the answer is no
The differences between those pics are pretty stark, but I've been told it's post processing + fog + compression, so not really a big deal.
