Well I have now played this game and I have to say it is a new benchmark in Visuals no doubt.
I have not finished it yet but played a good 5-6 hours(on hard, no aim assist), the opening section which needs to not be spoiled is so mesmerising and really is like NOTHING you have ever seen in a real-time game. The IQ is near faultless and the animation, details and sheer seamless flow from game, cinematic, game is superb. Even if you try to pick fault you struggle, the superb use of Cubemaps rather than a crappy looking SSR is in many games pays huge benefits, and the AO capsule reflections are used extensively in the game for so many objects and lighting as a whole is superb.
Gun play is satisfying if at times a little clunky but always a good feeling when pulled off well. My biggest gripe is some choices in the game disappoint at times (I don't want to spoil it for anyone) and the opening section can feel dragged out but overall flow of the game, narrative and characters is great but it does spend IMOP slightly too much time on that. It is aware of the needs of us Hardcore gamers and the need to look, feel and touch and the amount work in the details is highly commendable. Again I cannot stress enough that Animation as much as Visual work (and of course Post Processing effects) are the 2 biggest, hugest leaps this game has, you will forget you are playing a game as it all becomes a Movie like CGI visuals at all times.
I just wish they did not have the bloody prompts on all the time along with the (like I say) some of the choices at times can or at least did disappoint me.
But the best thing I can say is I loved what I played and I did not want to put the pad down but bed and worked called, eager to get back on tonight and see where it all leads. It has to get a set of sequels and Galahad, Igraine (she is a real strong female character which I really like) and Lafayette is the comic relief but a very charismatic with a great VO actor which they all have throughout. As far as my expectations it hit and exceeded them (Visually it does exceed I think all) but a "Hardcore" mode would be great with no Hud,Prompts ...hmmmm yes please RaD...

They're using some for of SSR though for the reflections of people walking down the street, you can't do that with cube maps.

Any good bosses?
Nice impressions thanks. Which chapter are you up to? I'm planning on taking my sweet ass time with this one. Hoping I can drag it out for at least 10-12 hours but, given my style of play, that'll not be a problem. I'm gonna look at EVERYTHING!
No the Reflections are from AO capsule's that project onto objects, this also used on the ground not only in puddles but also on reflective floor's giving you a correct depth, geometry reflection based on the actual angle. It works so much better than SSR and achieves the actual reflection based on the angle that SSR could not and does not suffer the wipe in/out that SSR has.

My copy has arrived. Can't wait to get home and play this.
It's gonna be glorious!
It's gonna be glorious!
Yes, at least so far and
This is one of the area's that I mean when I say disappointed me a little but I have not yet played to the end so i imagine more may come.
I am at Chapter 7 and I have spent some time looking around but not as much as I normally do. I want to see where it leads and then go straight back and play again and take even more time. It certainly is a game suited to us that like to admire the view...in spades.

How open are the levels, is it just a linear path or can you explore a bit?

Already preloaded the game. 21 hours to go.
Thanks for answers! Crossing fingers they release it soon in some way. Photo mode fits perfectly for such a gorgeous game like this.
Hahah ok I will but I don't think it will look as cool as the characters in the game ;_; Dem genetics.
They are open enough for you to wander and admire alot. We are not talking sandbox but alleys, rooms, tunnels can all go off into other small sections to stop a complete "Corridor" feeling from creeping in.
Excellent news. I'm such a graphics whore and it sound like this game was just made for me. My first run of TLOU took me around 23 hours so I'm definitely gonna get my money's worth out of The Order.

Funny, when the embargo ends it will be 12am Fri. What's not funny is that I have to download 30GB of it.
