The Order: 1886

Archive: 8 posts


So this was one of Sony's newest reveals during E3 of this year and it has me somewhat intrigued since the setting most definitely looks like a steampunk type of world which I rather like. Here's a description of the setting that we have so far:


"The Order: 1886™ introduces players to a unique vision of Victorian-Era London where Man uses advanced technology to battle a powerful and ancient foe. As a member of an elite order of knights, join a centuries-old war that will determine the course of history forever."


Here's the reveal trailer shown at E3

This game looks pretty cool. Once I see gameplay then I will make the decision of whether I like it or not.2013-06-25 20:54:00

I don't see what is wrong with the guns. The only gun that looked odd was the last one really with the electricity.

In concept since 2005

Trailer graphics are what you can expect it to look like in-game

Everything in the world is rendered with soft body physics

Metal beams react for example to magnetic forces, bending and shifting in real time

Incredible attention to detail: Lens flare catches light as you rotate the camera, oil lamps flash independently in an underground scene, light bouncing off every object provides uncanny realism, insane attention to material detail like wood, leather and cloth.

Clouds and particles of dust float around lamp flames, subtely settling down on the camera lense

Ready at Dawn spent a lot of time making the weapons unique, giving each personality. Grounded in understandable science but also have behaviors that you wouldn't expect

Examples of guns: Arc Gun like you saw in the trailer, Combo Gun has two different settings, you can blow enemies back with a non-lethal charge to make space as well as using standard rifle fire, Thermite Rifle can shoot a chemical onto enemies, using secondary fire to shoot flares to light them on fire, frag grenades can be used typically or hoisted onto the environment via spikes

Around 7th or 8th century, humanity splinters, with many getting 'beastial traits', becoming 'half breeds'

Thus begins the conflict

Humanity basically forms a version of the Knights of the Round Table, in this case, The Order to fight off this enemy
Through a strange turn of events, they discover a substance called "black water", giving them unusually long lives and unique ability to recover from injury

The Knights continue to age, but at a much, much slower rate which they use to battle for centuries

It's basically a curse given they continuously see everything around them leave and die off, it's both a salvation and a curse for them

This leads up to the 19th century and the changes facilitate the unique futuristic Industrial Age you see before you
You play as Grayson, known as "Sir Galahad" (guy with the porn stache)

A new threat emerges as parts of society (humans) begin to rebel against the rulership and are disgruntled with the inequality between layers of society

Battle scenes are chaotic and exciting, with use of cover, somewhat similar to of Gears of War

"While the focus is on third-person gunplay combat, The Order sometimes pulls back for slower paced moments of investigation and exploration."

Ready at Dawn took a unique twist to QTEs, sometimes melee attacks occur during gameplay, time slows down and you can rotate your camera and find different things in the environment to give you an edge. These can range from dodging a punch or grabbing an improvised weapon for example

Focused on a very strong story driven single player now, not willing to talk about any multiplayer

Interactive cutscenes keep players in control of part of the action (like shooting) while a preset dramatic moment plays out.

Pics look nice, though I'm not really into the whole "steampunk" thing to be honest.2013-10-10 09:35:00
