Im sick and my brain hurts these days. Im not thinking always clear.
That is the most pointless preview I have ever read. Even I without playing the game could have come up with that based on all the videos.
I dunno, I'd rather play this.
That's a really awesome gif. Zaps a dude with the arc rifle, pulls out revolver and shoots a grenade out of the air, and then unloads two more shots at another enemy from the same gun. That just looks like pure fun.

Eh no worries. Maybe I'm overreacting lol. Lets move on to the hype of this amazing looking game.

GOTY for the graphics alone bro.
Don't conflate the homogenization present in other games with artistic intent and motivated use of color in another game.
This doesn't look like "Generic Space Marine Shooter with Drab Colors #2054." There are enough videos and screenshots out there to show that The Order isn't just a brown game. It's establishing a specific time period and tone. It makes sense for 1886 era London to look gray and muted when it's foggy and wet out. Limiting the colors in the environment paints a specific atmosphere, and makes the blue of the arc gun or the orange of an explosion stand out even more. Other scenes show a subtle blue at dusk/night, bright orange at dawn, indoor areas with varied colors due to the fabrics and materials used, etc. It is, *shock*, a very cinematographic, film-like approach to the use of color.
Writing The Order off as yet another bland looking game based on one set of screenshots of a singular area/sequence of the game seems like unfair nitpicking, especially when all evidence points to the game being one of the more carefully considered from a visual perspective we've seen in recent memory. You can just not like how it looks, but bringing up the homogenization of the lazy and unimaginative use of color in games doesn't seem to apply to this specific game.
Hmm I can see it,alternate history with crazy weapons and such.
What's amazing about KZ2 was that the game received as much "concern" as The Order for the it's color palette, & it ended up being the most beautiful console FPS game last gen, & it released relatively early in the gen's cycle.
This thread is reminding me a lot of KZ2, do you guys remember this?
so thats where nintendo got their splatoon idea from
Yep, which is part of why this is exciting to me. Alternate history with advanced tech and monsters.

Watched the hour of footage, visually top drawer and super smooth (that motion blur is certainly doing a good job).

It reminds me of the original I8 (was it called that?) video.
Yeah, I-8 was the codename. This is basically that mixed with Killzone 2 in third person.

There was no need to even click it, it was pretty damn obvious what the next word was.
Just for fun I went back and searched for some TLoU gameplay threads. Here are some wonderful impressions from the E3 demo:
You could change "scripted" to "cinematic" and it'd be an Order 1886 thread haha

I am almost in tears when I look at this game. In my entire life I've never imagined games could look this good. It's simply mind blowing. I wish I had a ps4 to play it. The attention to detail is stunning.
Bravo RAD. I hope the game is good around it.

Or turn the lights off so you don't even notice the black bars. Thankfully I have a Pioneer Kuro
that will make the black bars even bigger
joke post? ... i hope..
I think it happens with every PS exclusive title. Sometimes I wonder if its by fanboys or perhaps astroturfers. Either way, the fear is real which means this game will be successful.

Nice. Can't wait to play this on my Panny
I'm with FATALITY on this one, you're suggesting turning the whole room into giant black bars?!
480p suggestion is way better.
No names? Come on breh.

I'm wondering if the game has any light puzzle solving elements in it. I hope it does. As simple as investigating items and placing them somewhere would do.
You just admit that it's gray to the point of lightning and fire having color, elevates them to good artistic expression in your mind... That's not a good thing to be honest. Sure it's well made, but it's still the same gray,brown and gloomy blob that has been done a dozen of times. It is "lazy" and unimaginative to use the same shape that everyone else is using, even if the result is more smooth.

non spoiler first impressions from random "fan site" ps4daily
Finished a "good chunk" of SP campaign. (why do they call it the SP campaign? that makes it sound like there is a MP campaign).
liked everything except, predictably, amount of story cut-scenes, and frequency of QTEs which "took them out" of the atmosphere.

Thank you.
That 4th picture with the explosion on the bridge in the distance set against the Victorian London is very reminiscent of the CG trailer for KZ2.
I'm expecting a mass of 6's and 7's

Yup. With Gies reviewing it at Polygon we know for sure that's almost a guaranteed 6, at most.
Other sites will take points off for lack of MP, or QTEs or Whatever, but I think we've been expecting that pretty much since it was unveiled. Still getting it day 1.

Is Gies really reviewing it? It should be entertaining. He has the right to his own opinion though of course and he might even like it. But his reputation took a even bigger nose dive to me after he reduced the score of MCC from a 9 to a 8 because it was broken.
