Speaking with Julien Chieze, Ru Weerasuriya, the creative director of The Order: 1886, discussed his plans for the game's sequel, which was in the early stages of development before being cancelled.

Weerasuriya describes writing a 10-page pitch for the game, which would have included far bigger fights, as well as multiplayer. Multiplayer was in development for the first game, before being shelved for the sequel.

Two sequels were planned for the franchise, The Order 1891 and The Order 1899. While the third game was never in development, Weerasuriya says he had planned where the story of the franchise was planned to go, if he had been able to develop the full trilogy.

Weerasuriya also said that he had written stories for The Order franchise that took place in the 20th century. According to Weerasuriya, the mixed critical reception to the first game contributed to the series being cancelled.

The sequel was cancelled due to the poor critical reception of the first game…

Unfortunately he forgot to plan a game for the first one. Beautiful with some good gun fights but severely to short and questionable boss battles. Encounters were too much corridor, gears doesn't have this issue.

All they had to do was rip off Gears, add co-op and make it longer.

I guess that's why the story in the first game was such dogshit, they were planning on spreading it out over three games.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Series definitely had potential. The art direction was on point and the ending left a lot of interesting things that could have expanded on it greatly. Disappointed that it never got the chance to grow. Could have been like an Uncharted - Uncharted 2 situation.

Terrible first post. The fuck is wrong with you? Would you say something like that to your mother or any other lady that has aged?

 

[j0hnnix]

well , shit , game was good. It was too damn short but it had all the right pieces to make it great and continue the series. Why Sony can't be like Xbox and just throw money into it like Xbox did with Hell Blade.

ms didn't pay for the first game

When I was expecting The Order for PS4 I was expecting a Gears of War competitor, not a 99% cutscene game.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I liked the story and the game if I didn't had to pay for it.

Sad all that engine and stuff is lying somewhere unused.

 

[Loomy]

Ready At Dawn is one of the biggest wastes of potential of the lat 2 generations. Getting lost in the Meta VR sauce was a mistake.

 

[crackajack]

I wonder if the first one ever gets added to Plus. I think it is the only Sony game other than GT that never was added. This could measure if maybe more people are interested in something like it when only having to pay for it via the sub fee.

What first post are you talking about ?

Anyway, people mercilessly shit on a 21 yo actress physique in TLOU tv show thread, insult everyone and their mums in switch 2 threads, and Julien Chièze, a know scammer and bullshitter who'd do anything for clicks, is the hill your gonna die on ?
WHatever floats your boat my dear, i was simply trying to give a bit of flair to your boring "if my aunt had balls we would call her uncle" thread, the way gaf likes, by posting a scantily clad bimbo. If i knew the sight of a woman would make you seethe like that i'd have posted a dude.

 

[Salz01]

I would very much like it, if my pro enabled 60fps mode on this game….

 

[LordCBH]

I'm still pissed off that the game is like 6 hours long, and like half of it is cutscenes, and they STILL had the balls to just end it on a stupid fucking cliffhanger after you fought the same copy/pasted werewolf boss again.

Graphically it was great, the story was interesting, and when it gave you one of like 2 levels where it just said "go shoot things" it was ok. But "go shoot things" amounted to like half an hour at best.

I'll also never forget the downright terrible stealth missions. Stealth adds nothing to 80% of games other than frustration. If you aren't making a stealth game, don't have forced stealth.

I think she's fine, but ultimately the topic is about the game, just seems like some weird degenerate frothing you got going for some weird reason if the first thing you think of is bagging on some dude's wife cause she aged.

Pretty much. It's a classic case of the studio focusing too much on their future plans and forgetting that for all of that to happen they first need to make a game that's good enough to actually get a sequel.

It's like when all Hollywood studios were obsessed with having their own "cinematic universe", and they forgot the key ingredient is making a good movie first lol

 

[Neokash]

This game deserves are Definitive Edition and they should add everything they left on the cutting room floor.

 

[hemo memo]

Good riddance then. They couldn't even get the single-player game right, so why bother with multiplayer? What is this 2013?

 

[Hideous Snake]

The Order should never be mentioned. Let it die because it deserves to

This "game" was made as console tech showcase and thats about it. I admit though that it had potential and great setting but we all saw the outcome

If you think this is degenerate, go look at what i posted on the Death Stranding anime thread
Im joking dude, i don't care about any of them one way or another. Still it was a pleasure to shit on chieze who i repeat is a dishonest scammer (the sputnik affair), a self-centered sellout and a sad corpo clown, even tho i had to splatter some on his innocent GF as collateral damage.
I can't help it, im green tea as our Chinese friends say.

Anyway i leave you talking about the order and won't disturb your thread again.

 

[GymWolf]

You should have made a decent game to get funds for a sequel.

5 hours story and they still managed to have dumb shit and plotholes, get rid of that indian writer asap.

 

[ripjoel]

Hey at least we got Concord and Marathon

 

[genesisblock]

The Order was one of those "what if" games had it been a success. Regardless of your opinion, the technology was a complete graphical showcase of the PS4 and was a true "next-gen" showcase. Shame it had to be forced as a release game instead of being baked in the oven longer.

post a pic of your GF and maybe we can figure out if your other half is more interesting.

 

[Shane89]

most of 2025 games can barely match the tech of the order. Ah yes, i forgot we are in the era of coding in a shitty style cuz we have AI and ML doing the rest

 

[Toots]

Actually you can learn a lot about my GF on a certain neogaf thread (one I never want to see or think about ever again )

I wanted to post pics of her at the time but Evilore very wisely advised against it.
She's beautiful but there's a catch of course, tho nowdays im quite enjoying this particular configuration.
But i guess if you search you'll find it along with plenty of ammunitions against me...

now i really disappear

 

[LordOcidax]

Technical master piece incoming

 

[Killer8]

The game's length was never the problem. It was actually refreshing in a world of bloated 20 hours slogs and wasn't far off the length of the typical COD campaign. Nobody complains about them.

The problem was not including multiplayer. How fucking dumb do you have to be to have PlayStation's Gears competitor... and not including the most popular part of that series? They deserved to have the franchise die for not prioritizing that.

 

[yogaflame]

Very underrated. Killed by media reviews and bias, just because of games length. I hope Sony will bring it back.

 

[diffusionx]

wrong thread

 

[dottme]

The game has a good tech, a good universe and good character. It really feels a demo for a potential great game that was never released.
I bought it on discount and I really enjoyed it. But I would have never bought it full price.
But now that the base is in place, I would like to see a full game get released. But it never happened.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Game still looks fucking sick

Wasn't expecting such time jumps to 1891 and then 1899. I always just assumed they were gonna go right to 1888.

 

[havoc00]

I liked it, but I only paid 10 bucks for it, if I bought it at launch for 60 I'd probably feel different.

 

[viveks86]

With the same team at RAD developing it? Would have been just as bad. Outside the art, graphics, music and setting/lore, the actual game and story were awful. Make even bigger battles, but your game would still have sucked. Something was clearly missing in the team. The scope of the endeavor for bigger sequels would have crippled them.

Biggest disappointment of the generation, imo. The only game (other than Driveclub) that I ever played day 1 at midnight. Wrapped it up before going to bed at 8 AM. Never felt I had wasted good sleep over something so shallow and underwhelming

 

[AutumnLeaves]

Game gets too much hate.
