This isn't news. The cliffhanger ending should have made it obvious they planned a sequel.

 

[Valonquar]

I hear the sequel would have bumped up the unique boss fight encounters to TWO

 

[diffusionx]

Of course they had a plan for it, but it’s kind of tough to convince your publisher to give you tens of millions of dollars for it when the first one gets mediocre reviews and underperforming sales.

Gunshot fade to black

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I'm sure they had plans and ambitions for a sequel....total meaningless

 

[Pedro Motta]

The Order 1866 and Ryse Son of Rome were victims of foul play by the reviewers. We could have gotten great sequels for both of these games.

 

[RoboFu]

So? The game was bad.

 

[Inuteu]

knights of the round thing sprinkled with vampires and werewolves lore was just chef's kiss.jpg.

and yet you spend 90% of the time in the first game fighting gentleman in charlie chaplin hats

Ken, the problem wasn't that it had dodgy, QTE ridden boss encounters, it was super short, it had very few battle scenarios, it had zero replay value, it lacked a coop mode and all of this for...60 big ones.
I personally loved it but...I only rented it for 2 days, finished it and took it back, had I spent $60 for it though I would most probably have a different opinion now.
Shame really 'cause the combat - the very little that there was - was actually good - the weapons all had some amazing "oomph" due the amazing vibration, animations and sound feedback.

G'damn man, a sequel could have easily fixed all of the above just by removing the brain dead QTE sections, adding 4-5 hours of gameplay and adding some sort of horde mode and - hey presto - there's another multi-million seller...

It's a frigging shame is what it is, instead, we got another bloated God of MCU ...Sony can be incredibly shortsighted...

I rented it from Redbox and had the Platinum before I had to pay for a second day.

Maybe they should have focused more on gameplay instead of the B-movie narrative.

 

[schaft0620]

It's not true they were making a PS VR2 game.

 

[Arsic]

Only the stealth section was whack.

1886 deserves a sequel more than any Sony IP aside from BloodBorne.

 

[ShirAhava]

Does people have dementia or something? The Order was a glorified movie masquerading as a game, where gorgeous graphics are wasted on a bland, uninspired narrative and tedious gameplay. It’s a short, linear slog that feels like paying full price to watch someone else play a mediocre game.

Sounds like a good playstation exclusive to me! I highly enjoyed the game!

 

[GymWolf]

Nah i'm good, thanks.

 

[deriks]

The Order was Hellblade before Hellblade was a thing. Pretty as fuck (even today is sharp as a nail), but boring in the sack. The diet coke of gaming= just has graphics, not gaming enough

This.

Imagine if.you had to pay 60 for it...

Listen, I absolutely loved the game but, the criticism it received was fair.

Knack got a sequel because of

Lol nah, not even the actual game director in either title.

 

[proandrad]

Did the same on gaf recommendation. It was 10/10 one day rental, but I would have been pisses paying $60 for it.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Of course they had plans for a sequel. What developer doesn’t have unused ideas leftover and thoughts for how to handle a sequel?

Sony would never have green-lit it though.

Such a shame as they’re a talented studio.

 

[Alan Wake]

The Order 1887 is the greatest sequel that never happened. So much potential.

Indeed. Sadly the first game, despite being gorgeous, was a big disappointment with very limited gameplay. Possibly a sequel could have been so much more.

 

[Frwrd]

I hear the sequel would have bumped up the unique boss fight encounters to TWO

 

[MayauMiao]

It probably would have sold better if it was a good game but its nothing more than just rail shooter.
