So it was 30fps with the look of 60fps rather than the feel of 60fps?
To be fair, the aiming in particular felt incredibly fluid and responsive. No complaints about the controls.
Sony never acquired QD.
I don't really see how Sony ownership benefits either party. Right now RAD is working on their baby, a baby owned by SCE. So Ready at Dawn doesn't have much to gain by "getting married" (to borrow a Media Molecule expression) to Sony. And Sony doesn't need to spend the money to acquire a developer who they're going to work closely with anyway. My guess is RaD will stay independent but continue to work mostly with Sony, much like Quantic Dream.

Sony didin't acquire Quantic Dream yet but the company still has intimate contacts with them and it is dumb to not acquire them eventhough David Cage saluted the behaviour of Sony by providing tech and hardware to them and not intervening in their work and not forcing them to work on a tight schedule or trim their ideas. Sony did though acquire Media Molecule, Guerilla Games and Sucker Punch.

Kaboom!
That looked awesome. Narrative/script appears legit.

Sony might now own QD right now, but I'm almost sure they do want to be acquired, I'm almost sure that they wouldn't get the same budget and marketing if they went elsewhere.
EDIT: And who knows, if The Order is successful, I can see Sony getting RAD. Or if it goes badly, I can see RAD dying like Battle Royale's devs. Hope it's the former.

I only remember this: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/339405/quantic-dream-open-to-being-acquired-by-sony/
http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/09/quantic-dream-open-to-becoming-first-party-sony-studio/
I am almost sure the deal didn't happen yet.

Oh yeah, I remember that too. Probably after their PS4 game, they might do it. Who knows, Sony is sometimes cagey with their stuff. Quantic Dream does a very specific or special kind of games that satisfies a market that no other platform holder or big publisher tries to tap, Sony might want to secure them. Quantic Dream might also want to secure financing, specially since their games are totally niche. Even for GAF.

I see there what you did.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen quotes from QD people, or Cage himself, saying they'd love to be acquired. My feeling is that Sony isn't all that interested in acquiring anyone at the moment. Their last big acquisition was Sucker Punch, in what, 2011? It's telling that they didn't acquire thatgamecompany or any of the myriad small devs they've worked closely with of late. So I don't see them making any big purchases anytime soon.
Too talented for them to go the way of Superbot at worst they'd go back to making games for other people's IP's

Naturally. But then again, we don't know if thatgamecompany or the other devs wanted to be acquired. We could also factor in their finances, they might have wanted to use them on other things rather than get studios.
Yeah, I don't think it'll happen either, Superbot was just unlucky that their first game did not fare good.
Unless the game tanks spectacularly, they'll almost definitely be making at least one sequel to The Order to offset engine development costs. With the tech in place, another game should be faster to develop.

This game has some of the best real time graphics I've ever seen. I've yet to see better on any platform.

Holy shit, looks fantastic. The post processing is really a step above everything else we've seen.
Voice sync is off, but it might just be the video.

I'm watching the 'Storytelling in Videogaming" panel. What's up with Ru's fingers?

The full panel where the cutscene is from is pretty good

Seeing that screen in the article shows how much the game has improved visually in the past few months. Lighting looks much more natural now and the chromatic aberration has been toned down significantly.
I also noticed that the motion blur seems higher res now, which makes it look less smeary and more reminiscent of filmed motion.

Cut of Order 1886 flight deck footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAAioo8OabE
Quality is a bit crap. Seriously they should release extended footage from the demo. This game really needs to sell itself better...

Well it looks like he broke one finger. Other than, it's vitiligo, a surprisingly common condition that's basically partial, progressive albinism.

Thank God. I can't wait to play this game. I really dig the art style.

incredible, there's a shadow a little low res in that section...a flaw in the order graphic ? I can't believe! O_O
Judging from your avatar this makes sense.

I can't tell, but do the background clouds move? Or are they static?

they move and appear to be volumetric also you can see what I was talking about earlier in this thread when Galahads feet hit the zeppelin..... the deformation and some stuff that probably hasn't been seen as much.

I think the game will take some flack for not really pushing many boundaries, but what's there is executed superbly. Great aiming, great gunplay, great cover system, insane production values and aesthetics. Anyone who is a fan of single player cover shooters should love it.
For now, the unique things about its gameplay are that phosphorus gun, black water power, and branching melee fights. We heard about ability to control magnetic fields, but RAD did not showcase it yet to the public.
That's more than enough of new elements to make this game stand out from the others. The rest is on RAD. They have to make interesting campaign story, environments, combat pacing and reason for us to be invested in characters. IMO, they are on the good track so far.
That thing with the cloth in the Zeppelin - could that be an example of the soft body physics in operation?

Some of the one-off stuff should be cool. I was more just talking about the core gunplay with ballistic weapons. It's more than solid imo - very expertly executed. Not sure how common weapons like the Thermite Rifle will be.
