GI.biz has a pretty long interview.

This part is interesting, what platform could they be talking about?

Ouya 2

 

[molnizzle]

I was under the impression that Ready at Dawn as a Sony-owned studio. Interesting.

 

[Elginer]

Fucking great. Make a very cool IP and end that mofo on a shitty cliffhanger. For fucks sake man.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I enjoyed The Order and recommend others try it before writing it off, but it had issues (big ones). Namely the werewolf encounters, not the elder ones. Not only is the encounter terrible, but you do it again once or twice and it plays out exactly the same. Something special was there in The Order, but it just didn't come together. Still enjoyable, but disappointing more from the standpoint that you can literally see when playing it what it could have been.

Wish them the best of luck, in their transmedia adventures. They have talent no doubt and look forward to what is next.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Hopefully they can afford full screen now.

Lol

 

[piccio_ssl]

Does this mean The Order can go multiplat to make extra sales?

sony's ip

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Naughty Dog! Naughty Dog! Naughty Dog!

Spoiler

Is developer begging allowed?

You should just consider for a moment whether you would want to spend 2-3 years of your life, minimum, working on an idea that wasn't yours to begin with (and has already been poorly received by consumers). ND is among the best in the industry. Why would they do this? Same applies when people say Santa Monica should pick up Heavenly Sword.

 

[wapplew]

This is good news for the industry. At least they are not going full mobile, right?
Sad that we might never get another order, I like that game a lot.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Hopefully they can afford full screen now.

Come on..

 

[Nightengale]

Does this mean The Order can go multiplat to make extra sales? Also, do you think Sony were pretty unbothered by this?

Order doesn't belong to RAD. It belongs to Sony.

It will NEVER be multiplat. Not until Sony goes bankrupt and/or sells the IP.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

well, if we get the order 2 it sure doesn't seem like RAD is going to be behind it. I guess the franchise just got Lair'd

 

[Alienous]

Fucking great. Make a very cool IP and end that mofo on a shitty cliffhanger. For fucks sake man.

Press R2 to end franchise.

 

[Stacey]

Yep, adding (TO 1886) to the title bought in the haters.

Good luck to RaD.

 

[I-hate-u]

Naughty Dog! Naughty Dog! Naughty Dog!

Spoiler

Is developer begging allowed?

Why would they do that?

 

[Iacobellis]

So Ready at Dawn is moving away from being an almost Sony-only studio now?

I wonder if the unannounced platform is NX.

 

[Signet Son]

Damn, I would have loved to see them improve on The Order. Oh well, incredible talent there at RaD...looking forward to what they bring next.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Out of Order: 2015

 

[Dictator93]

It was insta-fail QTE no retry

 

[mrqs]

Gameinformer did an interview with them about this

One interesting tidbit from Paul Sams:

EDIT: Here's another one, also from Sams:

Maybe it could be Amazon's console or something like that?

 

[Ricky_R]

Just bring Stig back and let him work on The Order 2.

Press R2 to end franchise.

hahah nice one.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

As meh as The Order was, I feel there was potential for them to make a good sequel. It's clear that they spent a huge investment on the tech. Now that it's there, they could have focused more on the creative/gameplay aspects of it. Too bad...

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Sony needs to change their anti-developer stance on IP ownership or this type of thing is going to keep happening.

VITA 2
BELIEVE

Interview is longer than the order


I still dont understand how that game even happened. Nothing about it seems to match the 2015 sensibilities about game design or what people are looking for

I've had more choice and big cool moments in the last few COD games

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The story of The Order 1886 is now made worse by there being no sequel.

 

[JimPanzer]

The director of The Order wants to be a film-maker. Lots of his interviews allude to that.

The Order is evidence enough of that. Very filmic.

I'm not surprised Sony cut them loose (if they have), The Order looks like a giant waste of time and money. You could liken it to Heavenly Sword in lots of ways.

Same could be said about Kojima and MGS. I don't think the whole cinematic approach is what killed the game.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

At least The Order did not sunk the whole studio. Praise Jesus.

 

[Alienous]

So Ready at Dawn is moving away from being an almost Sony-only studio now?

I wonder if the unannounced platform is NX.

If they roughly know the specifications of it it has got to be Amazon's console, which from their words would seem to be quite powerful.

transmedia IP

Don't do it. If The Order is any indication of what this will be, people won't like it.

Amazon Fire PC getting close.

 

[Jigorath]

Sony should just give them the IP and let them pursue a sequel if they want. Would be a nice gesture. I don't really care all that much about The Order anyways so whatever.

not even allowed for free on PS+ ..

 

[Mpl90]

That "unannonced platform" mention...it's either Amazon or Nintendo, I suppose. Or Ouya 2 as suggested by others here.

 

[Iacobellis]

If they roughly know the specifications of it it has got to be Amazon's console.

Wouldn't rough specifications of the NX soon be available to developers as well? The official announcement is supposed to be at next E3.

 

[Nightengale]

Don't do it. If The Order is any indication of what this will be, people won't like it.

Developers can always do better/learn from their mistakes.

 

[Duxxy3]

Is this the death of cinematic (HEAVILY cinematic) games?

 

[Withnail]

Ooof. Sounds like Sony cancelled the sequel.

I thought The Order was quite good, would be disappointing if we don't get to see more of that world.

 

[Turkoop]

That was a big mistake by Sony, they should better bought the studio..

 

[infinit777]

Does this mean The Order can go multiplat to make extra sales? Also, do you think Sony were pretty unbothered by this?

I hope, that is effectively the only game i want for ps4 at the moment. If they do that then i can hold off on getting one for another year!



Edit: nvm sony owns the IP...

 

[eFKac]

Unfortunate but I'm not surprised after critical and commercial reception of The Order that Sony wouldn't want to work with them anymore on big budget projects.

 

[Fisty]

Sounds like the "thats what happens when your CEO writes your games" finally got to Ru. Glad some of the pressure is off of him, criticisms of the writing were WAY overblown

 

[Hidden One]

That was a big mistake by Sony, they should better bought the studio..

Guarantee Microsoft comes in.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Guys this doesn't mean The Order 1887 isn't happening.

Sony owns the IP.

 

[Trago]

Unannounced platform huh?

I'm interested in those new IP's. Good luck to those guys.

 

[qa_engineer]

The order itself may be dead, but the engine and technology they've built will live on. Good for them

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Sony needs to change their anti-developer stance on IP ownership or this type of thing is going to keep happening.

LOL, why would they? Deal is deal if devs agree to do that.

 

[Salz01]

Shinobi kind of hinted its dead.
