I think the subtitle year implication is certainly that upcoming iterations could be handled like Assassin's Creed, they share a basic link, and a game design, but the location and time period could vary wildly, and obviously some of these people could be in those games, or they could have totally new casts. It's a good idea.

I'm talking about the entire design philosophy on show here: scripted out the ass. There's nothing interesting about this encounter, you appear incredibly restricted in what you can do and where you can go.

I truly believe this could be PS4's Uncharted. The first game that truly harnesses the system's raw power and truly showcases what this console is capable of. Though some might say that Infamous:SS and hell, even Killzone:Shadowfall already did that.

Graphically it looks incredible and a fantastic setting too!
Gameplay looks like generic corridor cover shooter 101, uninspiring to say the least.
I'm really not feeling this first round of Sony exclusives, they seem all style and no substance.

I'm hoping E3 reveal. Hopefully there are different types, but if its just one they should make sure they are a big deal to fight.
I think TLoU nailed the pacing of narrow,combat heavy sections which eventually led to a wide open area like a town where you had a lot of area to explore.
Definitely.

Can everybody just go back to playing on their Xbox ones and just stop being so incredibly pissy on 3 minutes of footage?

Honestly, do you really think that is what the whole game will be like?
I'm looking forward to this - massively, in fact - but I also think it would've been better if they'd shown something a bit more dynamic than this. I'm sure it will be quite, quite linear and that's fine by me, as long as those linear segments are exciting in themselves. I def enjoyed the new TR and that one is extremely linear as well, but with enough variety and variation to keep it interesting for me. Perhaps it helps that I haven't played any of those other classic TPS games listed in this thread, so I guess the whole thing is not as stale for me.
Well, if that was your intention to sigh at yourself, that's fine and I apologise. It did very much read in the assorted posts like you were sighing at them though.

There were similar moment in TLOU and Uncharted. In fact there are similar moments in hundreds of games. It's just finding something to complain about and you know it.

I'm really liking the look of this. Am I worried about gameplay? No. The location/design looks interesting and I am very excited about this. So far for me it's a day one purchase.
There seems to be a lot of hate towards this game that I don't really understand. The last time footage was shown all everyone was saying was "omg quick time events, quick time, all there is gonna be is cut scene followed by quick time"
Now they show some different mechanics of the game now everyone is saying "omg tps, gameplay looks shit/bland/boring"
I don't quite know what the guys developing it have to show to please people. Some of the story? Then we would probably get "omg they have ruined it with too many trailers!"
It's a way away yet, looks graphically awesome, we know it's story based with no mp so maybe we should all just enjoy what we have seen and be patient rather than just hating on something we have only seen a couple of glimpses of

Ok. FINALLY watched it. To my surprise it actually looks really good (graphically). Like, stunning. Better than anything out. I'm a sucker for games with this kind of Victorian setting, though. Reminded me of Dishonored. Steampunk maybe? Not sure if it is.
Only thing that I wasn't too keen on was the aiming. Looked a little TLoU/Uncharted-ish (and I hated gunplay in those). It's hard to say whether it'll be completely derivative with that short of a preview, lol. Calm down GAF! Hopefully what they show at E3 quells concerns.

You sigh at my post and I ask you why. You tell me it's because you already posted that in your post ... and I'm supposed to understand that's meant to be funny?
I don't think it's a matter people getting the wrong end of the stick, I think it's a matter of you being so obscure we have no option.
They should have never taken the cocaine out.
Really?
I thought the TLoU reveal was the best of any game I can think of.

No, he's right. It was just a corridor shooter and an Uncharted re-skin.
Lots and lots of looks too linear and scripted complaints, plus a few looks like Uncharted but slower one's too.
Indeed it was, but the GAF reception... It was not a pretty read.
And zombies ZZZzzzZZZ
No, I said because YOU had already posted it. I was sighing at the fact that someone had already posted what I was going to say.
I can't believe this is an issue. lol

Aren't the characters in The Order not immortal? They could easily write a scenario where Jeanne is still alive. She came back to life with some kind of elixir(similar to Black Water) or is saved by the knights while she's being trialed/put on the stake. The major antagonist being Pierre Cauchon (who arranged the execution of Jeanne) being an agent of the demons in disguise. Would make for some interesting fiction, but unlikely.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. 'I'm sick of zombie games'. It's so frigin' transparent what is at the heart of a lot of these silly complaints.
This game is going to throw a curve ball at some point and I can't wait to see the reaction.

Even Sony? They all do it, to think MS is the only one is naive.

But I will say, that being tired of zombies games is entirely understandable. If anything the fact TLoU had to rely on it annoyed me. The game would have been equally as effective as an 'I am Alive' style post apocalypse.

It's not a zombie game. I get tired of explaining why it isn't in the same way ND did.

Yeah, a Coke that can immediately repair life threatening injuries and grant a tremendously expanded lifespan?
I'd give up Pepsi forever for that!
Okay, I think people are misremembering this a little.
I've just read the first few pages from that thread, and it's almost completely positive.
Oddly, I guessed the release date in that thread. Hell yeah.
I looked through it earlier. Lots of linear and scripted complaints. Perhaps not on the first page though. I think these things take time to catch on with certain folk lol.

The problem with this scenario is just what I said in my original reply: the very nature of her death.
She was burned at the stake. There wouldn't have been very much of her left to restore.
I severely doubt the elixir could recreate a person from blackened ash, no matter how salubrious it was!
If they were going to include her, they would have to alter the circumstances of her death or (more likely) pretend it never happened. Now this is plausible in a world like this, since it is an alternate history. Just seems a little more difficult given how famous and legendary the death of Joan of Arc is.
Also, I don't think the characters in The Order are truly immortal per se. They clearly still age, just at a incredibly diminished rate. I don't know how effective the elixir is to keep a person like Joan of Arc alive into 1886. That would be like 450+ years after her death.
I don't mind what they're going for, I personally can't see how a third person shooter can be revolutionary, Gears certainly wasn't and this certainly isn't. Like Amirox mentioned, it's all about refinement. They're going for that filmic linear experience, it looks fantastic and the atmosphere and setting are intriguing, I'm really up for a third person shooter at them moment and The Order could scratch that itch. I doubt it's going to be just shooting considering the nature of the premise, confident they'll incorporate different gameplay elements, I have faith that RAD and Sony wouldn't want to just make a cover based shooter with no added refinements and gameplay experiences that set it apart in addition to its story.
Now the nature in which they're revealing it is self detrimental because it's never a good representation of the game when you choose to reveal it on a shitty Twitch stream, you're basically asking for, sometimes misguided, technical analysis. Some people just don't feel the gameplay however, and I think that's fine. In the same way I can say it looks great within that 3 minute reveal, others have just as much of a right to say it doesn't.

Better yet, how does he know exactly what tailor made weapons are supposed to sound like? These are not regular time period pistols, from whats been said, their guns a free more custom made for the Order and their missions.

So, I can't judge the sound of the game and obviously not the graphics either, then why do they even bother uploading it? Damn, can't wait to see what the game looks like, guess the only way I'll be able to tell is by buying it *sigh*
They sound however Ready at Dawn wants them to sound, it's not like someone's gonna say "Hey they are not supposed to sound like that, I got one here look!"

Not even close go back and look.
It's positive for the first couple pages then it really starts to devolve.

Arguably with Destiny the PS4 doesn't really need anything this fall.
E3 was very positively received but gameplay on some event was dubbed as slow uncharted and uncharted with zombies
Yeah, you are right.

Is it going to be the first TPS on PS4 by the time it's released?
Tomb Raider was I think.

That's actually a very good question, mate. There is nothing to be gleaned about graphics or sound from a YouTube video. But at least we can see some gameplay.

Yeah I remember the TLoU thread....scripted events, uncharted with zombies, another zombie game etc... and then it became GAF's GOTY ahead of GTA by a long shot. E3 demoes really help out a game though.
I was also underwhelmed. It looks like a reskinned Uncharted in the clip and I HATE those sections where games pin you down somehow and make you shoot at enemies. It's so tired and over-used. I really don't know why this video was even released. Couldn't they have done some big showpiece at E3 to blow everyone away? Not like this.

Definitely a popular genre last gen. I must admit I only bought Uncharted but couldn't stand shooting so many "real" people, so skipped other similar titles.
I'm not too impressed with shooting people in The Order either, I'd prefer to just attack the undead / werewolves.
