As our very own Graham Banas will inform you, there’s more to a game’s presentation than its looks. Sound is something that often goes underappreciated in this visual driven industry, but it’s the glue that holds everything together. Seeing as The Order: 1886 is aiming to be the complete cinematic experience, then, its audio is enormously important.
Fortunately, it looks like developer Ready at Dawn is going to deliver in that arena. It’s recruited Jason Graves of Dead Space fame to produce its music – but Journey composer Austin Wintory has also lent a helping hand. In the behind-the-scenes video embedded below, the talented musician explains that he opted to forgo bright instruments, in order to give the historical release a foreboding sound.
The score’s been recorded at Abbey Road, but the team intentionally used the studio’s second, smaller room in order to maintain the music’s claustrophobic vibe. To be honest, all of these bass elements sound like an absolute nightmare to mix, but the samples scattered throughout the clip are amazing, so we have high hopes for this.

So talented those people are. I can't wait for this game I like everything about it(of what i have seen so far)
I could not be more excited about this composer pairing if I tried! They have both contributed works in more than one instance that rank amongst my favorites! Add to that, that I was already super excited about the game, and it's a perfect storm of hype for me!
I have showed a lot of hat towards Sony but this game really is changing my perspective. The music sounds great too.
looking pretty and sounding great is worthless if the gameplay sucks.
i'm more concerned with some of the negative things been said
about the gunplay.
When they said full orchestra I was thinking nooooo, this game wouldn't suit that at all, but when they started talkng about taking out all the high pitch gumpf then yes, works very well, it needs something more visceral and from what they played that's exactly what we're getting
@fozzie-mpd what negative things being said?
I was on board with this game from day one!
I'm buying! Only a few games give me this "feeling" before release. I'm sure we'll all be surprised by this unfairly judge game!
As long as they nail the story and controls too it should turn out to be a good game. I've heard bad things about the controls and feel of the weapons but I'll reserve judgement until release. I hope for the devs and Sony both The Order 1886 is a real success.
