TO be fair, no one is signing a non-buying agreement.
I'm sure whenever they're ready to show something meaningful, if it looks good, people will be interested in it.

There's nothing imperious about calling out ignorance. But hey, just another to put on the ignore list.

Well that's great, have fun. I just don't care for the type of experience Ready At Dawn seem to be aiming for, and so I'm disappointed after the trailer that grabbed me with its art style.
Another reason trailers sans gameplay are not to be trusted.

Even though I loved the TLoU, I'm kind of getting bored of linear "filmic" games TLoU is great because the actual game mechanics are fun too. If the core mechanic of The Order is just combat arenas and cutscenes, I'm not getting too excited until they show it or they steal Uncharted 2's combat engine.
Sure, and there's nothing wrong with arguing that side either.
It's just we want to avoid using "Stupid fools, don't judge it yet, we haven't even seen gameplay!" as opposed to "Well they haven't said anything about the gameplay, and I feel they're only using filmic to refer to the visual style instead of the mechanics, so I wouldn't worry about it being a QTE fest yet."

It's a good job their trailer was beast mode visually because their descriptions of the game so far aren't going to light the world on fire. They need to get their gameplay to a place where they can talk about it instead of lenses and black bars. Then that gameplay needs to be interesting.
'They' is hard to say. Sony choose how to market the game and when to show what. I can't imagine anyone at RaD wanted to debut their game as a cutscene.
I don't even understand why this game was announced. Sony claim to have 20 first party PS4 exclusives in the first year, they've announced at least four of them, and they've already announced this, which presumably isn't one of them.
They must have lots more games much further along, if this game wasn't ready to show, they shouldn't have shown it at all.

i personally enjoy well done QTEs but im surprised people have issues with cutscenes.
Sounds to me the developer is trying to describe something similar to Last Of Us and instead is making his game sound like Dragon's Lair.
If timed right, I have zero issue with cutscenes. Imagine TLOU without cutscenes. damn.

How would you have preferred it ordered?

It's a 2014 game.
I'm thinking this was the only one that was clearly stunning, from a graphical standpoint (so much so that people thought it was CGi at first).
So they probably wanted to impress on that front.
And they don't have even a super short demo to show? Something like The Division or even shorter.

Good. Open world games tend to be quite boring.
I would rather have a highly polished linear shooter than a badly made open-world game.
Linear does not automatically mean bad.
Some of the best games ever are indeed linear games.

Really? They said it's in preproduction.
I'd suggest taking out storybased since (to me) it's implied that a 3rd person linear shooter is storybased. Something like The Order: 1886 3rd person linear action adventure shooter w/ film effects.

Because it shouldn't only be Assassins Creed that allows us to travel back in time to amazing real world histories.
There's so many cool places we could go in games, and yet we continually go to fictional places.
And what has the team size got to do with it?
It's been in development since 2010. It has an engine and assets both of which are used in the trailer. It's not in preproduction.

Great, another game which you can "experience" by watching the "movie" version on youtube.

Terrible trends in this industry being promoted as the new shit are even more embarrassing.
But their first answer does apply to the game as a whole.
"So, exactly what kind of game is The Order: 1886?
The Order is a third person action adventure with shooting mechanics. It’s very much story-based – it’s a linear story-based game. We’re trying to tell a story. It’s what we call a filmic experience."
The film effects discussion is later. They call it a "filmic experience" as an answer to "what kind of game is it?".

Should have been first post
I assumed, since you mentioned AC, you wanted an open world game on the same scale which I thought odd since RaD has a tenth of the people working on this than Ubi did on AC3. But you should have got this was a "fictional" setting from the reveal trailer.

That's one way to kill the hype I had for this game. Still, I'm curious because of Sony Santa Monica (not RaD lol)

Came to post this.
Preproduction means vertical slice development, they need those things to be in it.
That's fair enough, but I'm wondering if in that situation he was saying that the story has a definite beginning and end point, as well as it being a linear experience and not a GTA or Red Dead style experience. I guess one would have to get more clarification from them on what they mean by the phrase. I'm guessing that it's going to be story based and that there's going to be lots of mo-cap done like Naughty Dog has done.
Ready at Dawn seems like the little brother to Naughty Dog (not saying that in a bad way), and wouldn't be surprised to see them brought in to be first party after this game (providing it sells).
