The Order: 1886 brings you a good two-and-a-half minutes of gameplay in this trailer Sony released today. It lingers on the firepower (and quick timer events) available in the alternate-history landscape.
Is it just me, or does that stuff look like it would be monstrously heavy with Victorian-era metallurgy?
Don’t know if it’s just my screen or what, but that looks WAY too dark. Hard to even see what’s going on a lot of the time.
Let’s remember that this is a stitched together demonstration video about the different things that appear in the game. 3 minutes is not exactly a good judge of the ratio of gameplay/cutscenes for a several hour game. Although I am worried that they were willing to show something as choppy as this to the press, I’m mindful that these guys have a great pedigree.
need to see more before making my mind up. There’s nothing there gameplay wise that screams ‘next-gen’, but tbh I don’t expect that just yet.
I don’t know a lot about this game and it has me intrigued. Visually and in terms of sound, it seems beautiful. My only gripe thus far is the HUD and UI. Feels a little lackluster compared to the rest of it p’raps?
I think the style and quality of the graphics and sound are so good that the crappy old HUD really distracts from it. Looks like a game where minimal/no HUD would be a good choice.
Also the “gameplay” looks pretty poor.
I thought so too, but this is the “official” release of this video, whereas previously it was sent to journalists and had to be talked over/edited etc. so it’s Sony being dumb in this case, giving us the same thing twice.
Lolle, this is hellish. “Gameplay” is right. You’re doing NOTHING in these stupid asset tours. If I sat in front of this youtube video now with a control pad in my hand and just pretended to mash buttons while reading on screen prompts I would be having the exact same experience as someone who’d wasted a hundred bucks on joke ‘games’ like this: Deathly boredom.
This makes me mourn all the more for Star Wars: 1313. The transition from cutscene to gameplay and the animation reminds me all too much of what a beauty of a game 1313 could have been.
The graphics aside (which are amazing), this just looks like another grey/brown quick-time event ridden shooter to me.
Graphics are incredible (which everyone has pointed out), but this game kind of looks like its a bit ‘on-rails’, hope its not too linear, without very strong game play mechanics linear games can get boring, cant wait for the review
