Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How big is the download?
A: The game is about 32GB. The game is playable once you have downloaded the first 7GB.
Q: Can I customise the controls?
A: Yes. You can swap the analog sticks as well as the triggers, swapping left to right and L1/L2 and R1/R2. You can also adjust turn speed, aiming speed, and scoped aiming speed.
Q: What is the camera bias setting in the options?
A: The camera bias setting lets you swap the over-the-shoulder view by pressing the left or right side of the touchpad. It can be enabled in the options.
Q: How do I do a 90-degree turn against cover?
A: Hold circle while in cover against a corner.
Q: Is there a chapter select?
A: Yes. You can go back and replay any chapter, as well as specific checkpoints within that chapter as you play through the game.
Q: I'm a hardcore GAF gamer and know my way around third-person shooters. What's the best way to play this the first time through?
A: Play on hard difficulty, with aim assist off, a good pair of headphones, and no distractions.
Q: Can I remove the black bars on screen?
A: No. The Order: 1886 is presented in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio, a popular standard for feature-length films. Most modern TVs and monitors use a 16:9 (1.77:1) aspect ratio which is not wide enough to accommodate the game's display area, so the display width is changed to fit the width of your monitor while maintaining the aspect ratio, and the space not used by the monitor is blank (known in film as letterboxing). Removing the black bars is impossible as there is nothing 'behind' them.
Q: Can I skip the cutscenes?
A: No. One of the goals of The Order: 1886 is to blur the distinction between cutscenes and gameplay. Both are blended together and therefore cannot be skipped.
Q: And crucially, vitally, absolutely most importantly, how long is the game?
A: As long as it takes you to finish it.
