There are few higher compliments a developer can receive besides, “I dreamed about your game.” Many of us experienced that very phenomenon with Lone Echo—our adventures with the main character Liv were so vivid and the shared empathy so strong, the connection felt real. Ready At Dawn Studios’ storytelling and innovation DNA were on full display in Lone Echo and set the standard for VR narrative adventure, showcasing how virtual reality offers players more immersive, memorable, and emotionally charged experiences. Today, I’m excited to share that Ready At Dawn is joining Facebook—and the future of groundbreaking content in VR has never looked brighter.

So much for them becoming part of Sony.

 

[LordCBH]

I hate everything about this because it’s Facebook.

 

[kyoji]

who owns the order ip? sony? i hope they continue the franchise and hand it to a 1st party studio maybe?

 

[Imtjnotu]

Facebook lol

 

[OutRun88]

Facebook proliferates faster than Covid. Hopefully we find a cure.

 

[Stuart360]

Fucking Google, Epic, Facebook, just go away. I'd rather they went to Sony, even though i'm a PC gamer.

 

[Barakov]

Well, that's awful.

 

[Cravis]

What a waste.

 

[MrS]

This sucks. Sony should have bought them so we could get another The Order game. Wounded.

 

[splattered]

Whoa crazy...

Hey if my theory about Microsoft selling Mixer to Facebook theory pans out and Microsoft uses Oculus for their next gen console VR then i guess they in a round about way they just gained access to Ready at Dawn huh

[Stuart360]

Mixer and Ready at Dawn in the same day, these things usually come in threes.

 

[cormack12]

Facebook are paired with Oculus for VR right?

RAD are decent and Lone Echo got great reviews. That's gotta hurt with PSVR shifting a lot of units and supporting PSVR2. Seems to be held in at least the same regard as Astrobot from metacritic so yeah decent VR studio gone

 

[MrA]

I personally am looking forward to the order 1886 farming simulator, I plan to share it with my friends and buy all the micro transactions

 

[Kagero]

Aw damn! RAD are amazing.

 

[SleepDoctor]

What a joke. Well there goes my hope for a sequel to The Order.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Completely at odds with the things the studio wanted to work on, but fair enough to them. They got business done.

 

[Craig of War]

What a joke. Well there goes my hope for a sequel to The Order.

There was never gone to be a sequel anyway the game tanked and Sony was not gone to fund a sequel for it.

 

[MoreJRPG]

Facebook was paying the bills while Sony wasn’t. Not sure why anyone would be surprised. They’ve been making VR games for Oculus for over three years now.

 

[Castef]

This sucks. Sony should have bought them so we could get another The Order game. Wounded.

Ehm... Sony could have made another The Order with them if it wanted.

It simply didn't.

 

[Insane Metal]

Holy fucking shit this is an atomic bomb.

Why.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[MrS]

Ehm... Sony could have made another The Order with them if it wanted.

It simply didn't.

I don't disagree. Still sucks to see them fall in to Zuckerberg's clutches.

 

[HighResTomato]

Sony better acquire the devs they want and quick. This industry is going to flooded with companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook and hell even Apple needing MOAAAARRR SUBS.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Hahaha.

I know you mean "subscribers", but I just had an epiphany...

The customers are "subs". And companies like you listed are "doms". And yet the customers are lining up for the punishment, as a matter of fact they quite enjoy it. Now it suddenly makes so much sense.

 

[GrayChild]

Half-Life 3 confirmed!

....................................


Sorry, I'll see myself out now.

 

[M1chl]

Boy, get that facebook shit out of gaming, nobody wants to read your old ass dumbass school colleagues bitching about nothing while gaming, what is this shit.

 

[Infamy v1]

Expect more of this from Facebook.

 

[The Hamburglar]

What will
Zuckerburg do next?

 

[aerts1js]

Big waste. They were so good during the PSP era.

 

[JLB]

What will
Zuckerburg do next?

Buy Sony and rebrand Playstation 5 to FaceStation XXL.

 

[Entroyp]

Damn, what a waste of talent.

 

[ManaByte]

What will
Zuckerburg do next?

[Lionel Richie]

Gee I know The Order sucked balls, but isn't this a bit too extreme?

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Honestly, FB needs to find a better brand to advance their gaming image. FB is increasingly a repository for people to re-post political content to espouse their already apparent allegiances. Or to get mad at something they could give less than two shits about.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Facebook is low key assembling the best 1st party devs in the business for VR, as an Oculus owner i can't be mad at that.

 

[Bryank75]

Sony are terrible when it comes to acquisitions, they missed the boat on Marvel, Star Wars, Fitbit and loads of other stuff....

Now they have only bought Insomniac, after they were under threat from a Facebook buyout.
They better start being more pro-active in this area or the world will just pass them by...

RECURRING TRANSACTIONS

Is what they want, games are no longer about escapism, entertainment and art. But subscribers, how many subs can you push through on a platform.

Just list the services available on your console. Every billion dollar company is looking at ways to squeeze more, and they do that through these new “games”.

Some one should look up all these external contractor’s the gaming industry is hiring and expose their prior works. If there is one thing that can stop all of this, it’s pressure from parents and guardians.

 

[and 3 others]

"Please link your FB account to your PS5/XBSX to play".

 

[kretos]

Jim Ryan wtf were you doing, The Order sequel dream is dead i guess

 

[Shakka43]

They are gonna become a VR only studio now I imagine.

 

[FranXico]

R.I.P. Ready At Dawn.

Look at it this way, it was either them or Insomniac. Sony saved Insomniac, at least.

Oh I'm aware, and it's not something I like. But my analogue was about BDSM - you know, there are the sub(missive)s and the the dominatrices... The basic idea is the same though. Except when it comes to BDSM, the subs are really in control.

I hate subscriptions... I only have PS+. I will actively avoid anyone pushing subscription gaming....

 

[Tomofdahook17]

Fuck this! Facebook better make them create The Order 1887!

 

[Rheon]

Fuck (and I cannot stress it enough) Facebook.

Sounds like you've never received a good spanking.

(ok, I'll stop with the analogue now)
