The Order: 1886's Latest Trailers Prove That It's Definitely a Third-Person Shooter

Maybe we should be excited that the game might play a bit differently than the gazillion other shooters out there. Maybe it will be extremely cinematic based and offer a different experience. I'm not saying I will love it but at least it's something different!

Maybe they should have shown this before Uncharted 4? In comparison it looked so basic. Bad Sony!

Considering the last cover shooter I played was Spec Ops, which had a better story than most games as it is, it's been a while with those type of shooters so I'm not fussed about how it seems to play compared to other games. It's setting etc seems a lot more interesting than almost everything coming to any system in the near future. A decent lore etc can help carry a game that may not be too appealing to play as it can immerse the player. It worked for Skyrim anyway.

Funnily enough I'm looking forward to this a lot more than Uncharted 4. The whole 'summer blockbuster' feel of the Uncharted series is about as enticing as a Micheal Bay Transformers movie these days

It doesn't help that it's coming out at the same time as Batman either....

Don't know what people are moaning at , wait until it's released and you get to play it ,then you can moan if its gameplay is crap

Graphically is craps on every next gen game so far :- bloodborne , uncharted 4 , batman etc

Can't wait for this personally.

@RawShark This game is coming out way earlier than Arkham Knight (which is confirmed for June 2015).

Day one for me. I hope guys go out and support this game.

so let me get this straight, the order has amazing graphics, sound, presentation, animation, production values and a seemingly interesting plot and yet it's an instant failure simply because the gameplay follows a similar style to another amazing series (GoW) and isn't entirely original? (despite that the melee looks much better than any other cover-based shooter)

riiiight, it's interesting to note aswell that once again pushsquare seem more hateful in this regard than all the anti-sony multiplatform sites that have covered this game.

Its a 3rd person shooter. Obviously its gona be a 3rd person shooter jesus. This is RADs first 3PS to my knowledge, Naughty Dog has 4 under their belt ffs, of course its gona look like it plays far better. Setting, graphics & story so far look amazing. Until i play the game ill not comment on gameplay. Looks like a real fun basic 3PS to me, but if it plays bad when i get it, ill put my hands up and say it.

Til then, i cant wait.

P.s facial hair everywhere

@Rapidaz this

@MadchesterManc great example, spec ops was a great game because the plot and backstory ELEVATED the basic gameplay rather than make one aspect seem like an afterthought.

It reminds me of Ryse. Pretty graphics, basic and repetitive gameplay.

And IMO Uncharted 4 is prettier. It has colors.

@viciousarcanum I agree...it's the narrative that makes the game stand out...a 3rd person cover shooter is going to operate pretty much like any other. The order has a lot going for it and if it does as good a job as Spec Ops did at drawing me into the story then it's doing well.

Looks decent. At this point, as long as the gameplay isn't actually BAD, it should be an ok game. Simply because it gets so much else right. Now, it might not win any awards with run of the mill shooter gameplay, but again, as long as gameplay isn't bad, or boring, it shouldn't be such dead weight that the other excellent aspects of the game can't carry it

I love the blimp level!!! Its gorgeous!!!

@Storytime7 huh, thought I saw Arkham down as Feb in the presentation. Might be wrong.

Thing that hit me was how single plane the gameplay demo was. Nothing going on above, nothing below. I know it's just a snapshot of the game but a weird on to choose considering it's the time to sell it to a world that Sunset Overdrive proved is getting weary of cover shooters.

I'll be honest, this pales in comparison to the other games, but it still looks like it'll be an ok game. Maybe not a system seller per se, but entertaining nonetheless.

This may or may not sound dumb and I'm fully prepared to look like a dang fool, but it doesn't seem entirely fair to write Order off just because the gameplay's a bit tried. Most platformers, fighters, and other genres are identical as well, but these games do well by giving certain flavors to that style. Now I say "entirely" because yes, there were quite a number of gray and brown cover shooters last gen, and people probably want something else by now, but if Order can do certain areas well, like it's characters and story, how they use the gameplay, the graphics (even with a dull palette, it's still detailed well), and if the engine holds well, I think the game will be fine.

Personally, I don't mind a tried gameplay style, as long as everything else is done well.

The shooting in that first trailer reminds me of Mass Effect 3, which to me is not a bad thing at all. Personally I can't wait for this game. The gameplay might be standard issue, but not every game out there has to be a revolution. Great graphics, cool setting, and solid third-person shooter mechanics?? I'd be just fine with that

I think there's a lot more to the worries than it just 'being another third-person shooter". The lack of mobility, the constant cinematics, the unorthodox aiming mechanics, the quick time events which hit you with a game over if you fail...

I don't want to write The Order off before we've got the game in our hands, but nothing we've seen so far suggests anything special. I hope I'm wrong — I hope it has a great story and some really good set pieces — but all of the presentations have done nothing to dispel the sense that this isn't a linear, incredibly restrictive third-person shooter.

Call of Duty: 1886

@Savino you're insane if you think UC4 looks graphically better than this.

All above.... When gears of war announced somde people called it the second coming of jesus. This looks awesome and i love the werewolf fight

@Bad-MuthaAdebis. Don't buy it if you hate on it. It looks awesome!

@Sanquine the werewolf fight was badass

Not interested in the order at all..destiny showed that even with pretty graphics and a huge budget they're not afraid to produce something extremely bland and boring to play. Where are the destructible environments, where are the epic scale shootouts, where are the amazing physics, where is the excellent AI, where are new and interesting weapons like for example the gravity gun...nobody cares anymore, as long as it's shiny

@Flurpsel

Destiny lacked story and character development... The order already got a story which could be amazing.

@Sanquine okay I agree, if the story is really great then it could potentially be a good game. But the story would have to be really good..

@Sanquine lol how did I hate on it? My opinion. I'm hoping for a good story. The gameplay thus far is boring though.

@ShogunRok "The lack of mobility"

playstation already has traversal based 3rd-person shooting game out next year for adventurous types, the order is all about the action, narrative and tension, what sort of mobility would you be expecting in a grounded victorian-london setting...ESPECIALLY when they're in a blimp!

"the constant cinematics"

are you seriously going to detract from a game delivering on one of it's main selling points, i've seen equal amounts of gameplay to cinematics.

"the unorthodox aiming mechanics"

the thermite gun isn't intended to be precise, you shoot some bullets in a spread and then IGNITE them to torch a small area and everything in it, the force blast is an extremely close-range weapon that covers a huge space in front of the wielder and does not require any sort of precision, any regular style weapons they have shown have proven to precise and working as expected.

"the quick time events which hit you with a game over if you fail"

a proven successful mechanic within the industry, why must it detract from the game when it's completely fine for so many other games, atleast the QTE's in The Order have branching options to give you more choice.

@viciousarcanum I'm, er, glad you're looking forward to it.

But have you played it? It's never a good idea to put down a game or big it up before it's out, especially when it looks like it'll be divisive. Every single thing I mentioned is a legitimate concern, as far as I'm concerned.
