I am wondering that is going to the the "thing" or "shtick" about this game.
For example, Gears introduced the cover based shooting mechanic. RE4 introduced the over the shoulder 3rd person mechanic. I am wondering if this game will bring something new to the table or is it going to be one of those games that just refines the shit out of everything and introduces nothing new.

Maybe they're thinking a media blitz near Titanfall's launch will lower it's hype and raise the Orders'. Not likely what they're thinking, but it's fun to speculate.
They might have also delayed reveals to prevent the Watch Dogs effect. Blow your wad too soon and people lose interest over time.
Which falls in line with the Fall 2014 release date.40 minutes is not uncommon. For example last year the Beyond presentation behind closed doors was about this length. They just played an entire chapter. Since this happened in March while the game released in October I'm pretty sure The Order will hit between September-November 2014.
That is because watchdogs got delayed. 1 video at E3 put TLoU on the MAP and helped cement it as one of Sony's biggest new IPs. 1 good video right now could put the game on the map for a crowded holiday season. Waiting until the big guns steal the hype is not a good idea.
All according to Keikaku.

But Beyond had plenty of gameplay showcased at the likes of E3 and Gamescom.

Nobody cares about the opinion of a journalist, people want to see the game.
Not really Sony has really screwed up the Marketing on almost every exclusive in the PS3 days outside of uncharted and TLoU. Guess what they showed gamers lots of early footage of those games to build up hype extremely early. This being ultra secretive about the game does nothing for Sony. They just don't get it they should be building up the hype now getting it on peoples wish lists in a crowded holiday season. Not show it last second then wonder why it did not sell worth a shit.
yeah im sure the reviews/impressions would be negative if the devs would release the gameplay to the public instead of showing it to devs in a controlled environment...
Alright, so why is Sony so scared of showing the game? I have to say their handling of most PS4 stuff has been abysmal since the system launched. They're too comfortable with everything selling on pure internet hype.
Beyond is actually pretty similar to The Order in terms of Sony's marketing, so I think we can draw some comparisons. Beyond was announced at E3 2012 with a trailer. The press watched a behind closed doors presentation. No gameplay or demos for the public, only leaks. Then the game completely disappeared from the radar until March of the next year where a new trailer was released and the press was invited for a 40 minute gameplay presentation and 10 minutes hands on time. After the embargo lifted previews went up with b-roll footage of the game. Between April and June the gameplay videos got released to the public and the game was finally playable at E3 and then gamescom. Release in October.Which falls in line with the Fall 2014 release date.

Cut out the middle man and let us make our own choices, Sony. Delegating to the press just makes it look like you have something to hide.
It's good that Sony's marketing team has a hold on what is and isn't released to the public, but I think the hold they have on it is a bit too tight.
Edit: It seems like the marketing teams want these games to be damn near perfect when they are shown off to the public. I think this is what is causing the delays in getting new shots and info, but it's just speculation.
I'm a bit skeptical of this game, I hope it's a bit more than just a generic tps. We will see soon I guess.

The Order was revealed at E3 2013 with a trailer. Press saw a behind closed doors presentation. Nothing for the public. Game disappeared from the radar until February of the next year where the press was invited for a 40 minute gameplay presentation blablabla.
I think you see where this might be going. So a September release is looking likely here.
That's a real good question and I want to know the answer as well. All of their devs have gotten a muzzle placed on them and can only talk about the same things in interviews. They really need to let their teams talk.
I'm sure Evo, RAD, and probably even Sucker Punch want to show more than they've been able to. My best guess is the Sony wants to avoid situations like KZ and DC at E3 where they looked like crap compared to where they are now.

I don't mean 1 month in advanced. What I mean is Sony knows what it's internal time frame is, and they know optimal time frames to start getting the interest out there. If it's still over 8 months out, then I'm not surprised we are just now getting a sizable presentation.
Here is were media gets involved, they get their exclusive articles. Once that ball is rolling we will start hearing more leading up to release. All of this sort of goes without saying.

Can't wait to see all the disappointed reactions when it's shown to be just another shooter.
edit: For the press only? Hopefully someone leaks it. Why are these guys so scared of showing gameplay?

I understand what you are saying but Sony is treating the game like it is an established big time IP to be honest. The pushed should of started already to fight off all the other fall games to be honest. I just think it is very odd how they are handling the game is all. Something like this should of happened a while ago. So gamers could of gotten some videos of game play by now. I just worry by the time we get videos it will be lost in the noise of Titan fall, infamous and metal gear. Then after that is E3 and the big guns and the game gets lost. Lets be honest this happened to Sony a ton last generation great new IPs that did not sell nearly as well as they should have because of marketing screw ups.
Also after the BF4 fall out gamers don't exactly have high opinion of gaming press these days. I won't take any preview to serious just be pure PR just give me videos.
We the consumers give our money to these companies and the press always gets to see the games first. Just not fair man :/
Gears is the very definition of refining the mechanic. It was definitely not a game to introduce cover shooting, but it did it best at the time.I am wondering that is going to the the "thing" or "shtick" about this game.

I am wondering if this game will bring something new to the table or is it going to be one of those games that just refines the shit out of everything and introduces nothing new.

Why would you look forward to other people's disappointment?
Besides, we know it's a 'standard' cover-centric third person shooter. Anyone under a different impression is setting themselves up for disappointment.
"Translation: "Tomorrow I'll watch a 40 minutes long presentation of the gameplay of the order 1886, and i will interview the developers. Soon the embargo!"
Please someone leaks something for us!!!
