The Order: 1886

AM buying it tonight, sharing it with my friend to bring the price down to half :D:D:D:cool:. He will play it first as I am too busy these days.

EDIT: BOUGHT :cool: ! Ended up buying from PSN. Will get my speed back on 1st and Will play on the 2nd of March. Now on to worrying about my money for Bloodborne :yep2:

Btw, the overall looks and feel of The Order graphics reminded me sometimes of this particular level in KZ2 (train ride):


With all the heavy post processing in action - it is this particular visual style that I like so much. GG said in one presentation that they aimed for a more 'analogue' look of their game. This is similar to what RAD achieves in The Order imo.

Oh, just to mention this for those who are on the fence: you should also realise that the amount of content is really not that much and not very good for the price. Be aware of this. 40Euros would be the right price in my book.

In other words it's probably not a good idea to drop $460+tax for a PS4 and this game? I don't have a PS4 (or XBO) but this game had me thinking about getting one.
 
Do those cinemascope tvs have a lower physical resolution? (would make sense for watching the majority of movies in a pixel perfect manner) Or do they have wider pixels?
 
8/10 for me, there is a pacing issue for sure but the story, production values and characters all are worth the investment in time and money. I hope they stick with the IP and work on the core issues bc they have more right than wrong with this one. I've been taking my time with it, playing in short burst since I got it at release and enjoying it.

All the ones I've seen so far are 2536 x 1080p or more.

Projectors are always 16:9 1080p, but they fit on a 2.35 screen by zooming back and forth to change the aspect ratio so there's no resolution/scaling compromise. The screen masking takes care of the rest.

Well, you are asking the wrong person. I did buy a X1 just to play Ryse. I would also buy the PS4 in a heartbeat to play The Order...if you know what to expect and still are interested...I'll say: go for it :mrgreen:

Not that it would make a big difference but it's actually $430+tax at Amazon.com with The Order bundle.
 
Interesting interview with Pessino:

I don't speak italian so the translation will have to do for me, it's nice to see they are humble about the flaws of the game. Eurogamer said they gave it an 8 but after talking about it they think it deserve a 9. Pessino said he agrees with the criticism, there's a lot he would have wanted to improve, and said the game doesn't deserve a 9, that 8 was fair.

Looks good for the sequel... hopefully they'll complexify the gameplay significantly.

That is not the most correct translation:

Eurogamer says that the flaws they found in their analysis make the game point to an 8. Then they propose a little game: Eurogamer gives it an 8, but Pessino would convince them it's a 9.

Pessino claims that the 8 is, in it´s opinion, the most correct judgment.

From my understanding, that doesn't mean Pessino values the game as an 8. He is just saying that the flaws are fairly pointed and that, in the proposed game, he cannot defend a 9.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Their review is here:

http://translate.google.ca/translat...www.eurogamer.it/games/order-1886&prev=search

I'm quite in agreement with their criticism, it's what I hope will be improved.
I hope they'll ignore all the reviews saying it sucks because the reviewers basically hate this kind of game.

Back in the 4:3 days early widescreen TVs would autozoom if a 16:9 image was present. I am sure that is what would happen with BluRay movies or the order on these TVs.
 
Great short piece on review scores versus sales.

There's no accounting for taste
The truth is there is no logic at play here. One of the things you need to accept when you write professionally about entertainment products is that you can never tell what is going to be a hit, and that quality is not always an accurate indicator of success. The inverses is also true, lack of quality does not automatically equate to failure.
[..]
I've always maintained that in the majority of cases, gamers already know what games they want to buy long before they actually come out and use reviews to affirm those decisions. Unless those reviews are universally contemptuously damning, the public will ignore it. It hearkens back to that lament of my motoring journalist colleague. It really doesn't matter what the reviews say, people will buy what they want to buy. Right now, it would seem that people want to buy The Order: 1886.

Who am I to say they are wrong to want that?

I like the enemy AI during shooting and friendly AI. And the sound design of battle. It help even when you can't see your enemy. Particular in a very long battle
