The character design for The Order: 1886 is so good.

You're telling me if they don't insert an african american, latino, indian, or asian in the squad the game becomes boring? Ok.
I am not sure if people are simply using sarcasm....or being serious.

This game is gonna be a visual master piece. It reminds me of what Gears of War did last generation; kinda brought the whole idea of what can actually be done and will only go up for there.
He has the look of a late 40/mid 50 but do not forget average lifetime that period was... 60? Maybe?
So he is probably in his late 30's/ early 40
Concerning minorities: they were low-class workers in that historical moment and had zero to few access to any culture
I'd rather find difficult to play a well-taught fluent-speaking element even if still possible to justify somehow
In an alternate history with crazy weapons and beasts and whatnot, I don't see why we shouldn't be given the options of playing minorities. But hey, any excuse to keep minorities away I guess.
Eh, I was going to write the same , so annoying -_- The web has already decided the fate of this game.
Anyway, I like them. RaD did a great job designing the entire lore actually, not only the characters. Pretty much like AC Unity, where I can feel the France in the late 18th century, I can feel this Neo-Victorian London in every screen of The Order. I just love these research for details.
The characters look like how I would imagine an ancient Order of knights, with their elegant clothes and ancient names that refer in some way to the legend of the Knights of the Round Table.
It's easy to see that Perceval is the most experienced while Lafayette should be the *think out of the box* guy, if you know what I mean. The opposite of Galahad that looks like Mr. Cool-whateverhappens. I can't wait to know them better, their characters and their stories.
Can't say anything about the girl though.

But gears didn't just bring visuals to the table. Everybody just seems to forget that.
Without any intention of getting further off-topic, the infected enemies in Last of US are functionally and thematically identical to zombies. Even down to the outbreak
starting from lab-tested monkeys
Indeed. That's why the Order 1886 is a TPS video game, not a movie.

here you go bro
it's not a white male so it's already better
Damn xb1 still has no screen cap? I couldn't tell you his skin color from that screen hah.
Lol at all the "it looks like AC", couldn't possibly be they're both set around the same time period?

Sweet baby Jesus, that looks amazing!

Clever use of words but as a romerian-zombie lover, they have nothing in common
Infected in TLoU are more like dinos in Dino Crisis than zombies in ResidentEvil
But yeah I'm kind of trolling

This made me laugh.
Game looks visually great of course, but the main character designs aren't that mindblowing, just nice.
What's wrong with people wanting more diversity in characters? It's well within the appropriate sort of criticism for the topic of the thread. It's three moustachioed white guys and a white lady. As I quoted above, being historically accurate is a poor excuse (and irrelevant) since you have bizarre alt. reality tech and werewolves.

I agree OP the characters look awesome and the entire visual style of the game is amazing. I have the collectors edition with the Galahad statue preordered
Yeah I wish it did, Or I at least hope they add in a photomode at some point in the game. Also didn't help that I added some filters to the pictures

I feel offended by your racist comment.
They say it's going to bomb and it will be an exciting grand scale bomb
If it's a well-built narrative as the backbone for solid shooting mechanics and DEM PRODUCTION VALUES, I'm totally in. I think the negativity comes partly from people who don't enjoy (or are at least tired of) the genre. I don't see the value in that sort of subjective, categorical criticism.

Agreed, game looks absolutely amazing in motion.

Yeah, there should be more silver and pulsating plasma ...
It was all the rage back then.

While the complaints about the game not having any diversity in terms of representation can be pretty easily defended on account of it being a period piece, the fact that it stars 4 brunettes all in similar dress is one that's harder to to defend, in my opinion. You can argue "realism" but this is a game about fighting werewolves, so~ I'm not sure why they couldn't have more variety in how they look, whether it's giving them more individuality in terms of how they dress or something simple as giving the oldest one gray hair. I mean, I imagine fighting werewolves is stressful, so that's as good an excuse. as any
I guess what I'm saying is it gets an A for overall art direction but these characters themselves don't do anything special for me.

They look very unique. I'm waiting for the right time to digitally pre-order this bad boy.
wait...did you actually play the game? insider scoop?

It is almost a parody of itself at this point. Lol7
When I saw the picture of the four guys I then noticed they were all white, I was thinking how long until someone bitches about white males.
For me it's that everything is rendered in real time with instant, seamless transitions from cutscenes to gameplay.
Isn't that just the base design from the demos but with Elvis hair? I made a girl with short hair and purple highlights she puts these Order designs to shame.here you go bro
it's not a white male so it's already better
she does not and the Order designs are great love the detail on the clothes

I hope Galahad and Isabel actually have some chemistry. RAD talking about those two like if they weren't hunting werewolves they'd be on a tropical island somewhere together (seriously).
Hey RAD. I expect Nate/Elena levels of chemistry there, aight? Don't make claims you can't back up, especially when it comes to narrative and characters.

Concept is interesting, but bloodborne looks so much better in terms of its world design (let alont the monster designs which are great too) that my interest dropped to near 0.
Hopefully final game comes together, so far previews werent attractive looking and gameplay seemed medicore with weapons not really that different from real world ones in execution.

Why members of the same order should dress differently? Are we really discussing on that? :|
Also, to be finicky, if you notice better there are differences sometimes. Maybe it depends on their rank because Lafayette, that seems the youngest, has a very simpler uniform in some screens.
here you go bro

what's so special about your SO character? nothing ecstatic out of it. it's all preference, but thanks for sharing it on a The Order thread.
also, this just revealed to me that the XBO has no screen capture ability. first the Year One poster and now this. kind of a disappointing XBO Saturday morning for me.

I like their uniforms. The guy with the mustache looks good but the others I feel like they have generic faces.

Weird, with your avatar and all...
There's no Zombies in The Last of Us, and this game is about Werewolves and stuff.

No thanks will take the order white male over thathere you go bro

I'm not upset, I'm bored of seeing white males as the stars in games over and over and over again.
What social class were the fictional monsters that populate the game?

For a game set at a time and location when seeing non-white face was like a shiny Pokemon.

You have tried so hard that I applaud your attitude!
That said, my character looks better than your
