That's why there's that thing called high bitrate direct feed that can be used to distribute media.

Any word on a high quality version of the vid? Even just a 1080p one on Youtube would be nice.
Ohh hands on impressions this time.
True, MSFT has changed some policies. Personally, I won't support MSFT more than I have to until they have a built-in audio adaper and rechargeable controller battery (like the DS4). Charging $50 for those items is robbery. They need to win gamers back, and that goes further then rectifying their mistakes. don't want to derail this thread tho...
A lot of the hate posts about this game are people with hidden agenda and people that will just complain about anything. So far, The Order appears to be a very solid title, that was my point.

so I guess the game could still be 2014 right? lol
did they ever announce a window for release

Yeah... Now I get what you're saying and he's definitely aiming and shooting around them, but it does seem like a recoil heavy gun.

I thought the opposite, looked like MGS style cutscene to gameplay smooth transition.

I will admit that sounded way better in my head.....what I was trying to say and probably should've said was that the game seems to lack a soul from all the media I've seen in it it has no personality. Generic isn't quite the word but....yeah it lacks personality.

That's a painting of a Victorian dock, as you can see, not much clear air.
Shhhhh, don't bring truth here.
Victorian London was all bells and whistles and pink and orange ribbons.

Really? They are not the most talented studio, but characterizing them as awful?
Wow, juniors are really trying to outdo themselves in this thread.

Whenever I watch these early gameplay videos I'm trying to get a sense of what I'll be doing - as the player - and the kind of choices I'll make, either from moment to moment or as part of a longer term strategy.
In this video, with me as the player, I watch a cut-scene which then puts me into a firefight on street level. Cover to the left with allied AI using it, cover to the right with allied AI, and cover forward in the street with another allied AI using it. I guess I'd use the big ole empty cover in the middle for this firefight then.
Now, I'm behind cover, what are my choices? There doesn't seem to be any real need to advance as the enemies are all at height, and no reason to look for alternative cover spots for angles or defensive moves since nothing the enemy is doing looks to affect me here. So my choices are really in which order to take the enemy positions down in.
Once that's done the game literally asks you to fire your special weapon attack into the building's second floor so you can see a canned explosion and advance the checkpoint forward.
Then policeman guy gets downed and you're asked to attend to him. You get to move up and hit triangle, at which point you're now stuck on rails while a line of enemies will walk on to a rooftop in the open and fire on you at point blank range with their pistols. The choice here is the same, to prioritize who to shoot, only now you've got no cover to work with.
Once you take down those enemies in whatever order since they're all the same, you get another cut-scene and the story moves forward.
So, as a showcase of visuals, this video is fine. As a showcase for gameplay, nothing that's come out for this game looks engaging in the slightest. No interesting choices to be made whatsoever.
If there's a fun game in there, I'd love to see it at some point.

Gameplay and graphics look really solid, as solid as a livestream feed capture on youtube can look. Here's hoping for some direct capture footage soon. Loving the whole cinematic feel of it too.

I need a gif of a white knight throwing his shield to the ground. Cause that's just what I did. I've defended this game on a, wait til we see more angle and they release this. Just disappointing.

I'm inclined to agree with you, at least about the not worth giving a number part. Hopefully because they are still optimizing it and not because it is 30 "at best".
Have we seen any beastly (non-human) enemies yet?
Also, if played on a 21:9 tv, will there still be black bars?
Super Stardust

Looks okay but those black bars...
why?
This worries me. Game Informer gave their hands off impression of this segment ages ago. And now we get hands on impressions of the same segment? Tuesday better have more going for it than that. Otherwise, it's yet another PR misstep IMO.
Well the game has atleast 50 shades of grey
But the gameplay didnt impressed me at all, so at the moment i wouldnt buy this on day one.
I fear i might get the same experience like with Second son which had nice graphics but the rest didnt really justify the full price purchase.

I'm a sucker for TPS so please let this be packed with content especially if it doesn't have multiplayer.
I bet if Sunset Overdrive would be released on the PS4 the studio would suddenly not be awful anymore ...
They're just testing their Twitch channel

This game looks far better than anything next gen, it's pretty simple. 3rd person action/adventures are also very popular, theme and story look interesting and it built some hype since it was the only game Sony showed at E3 that wasn't an indie game (or shown their PS4 reveal).

No I'm pretty sure they had neon energy drinks and zombies. Get it right.
What?

I had the same thought when I first watched the stream but I noticed that upon rewatching. That gun is very interesting but I think since people have no real introduction to it, they assume it operates just like any other gun with a secondary fire. Where in reality, the gun is useless without the deliberate use of both firing modes.

I'm jealous of the developers at Ready At Dawn. Getting to create graphics like that must have been a wonderful experience. This might make me go into overdrive to finish my portfolio sooner...
The only thing I don't like is the Call of Duty style health. I'm ok with the cover system but regenerating health again? If they were brazen, they would bring back the classic hit point system.
But I guess marketing would be against that.

Neither here nor there, but Max Payne 3 sucked dong, precisely because it didn't have tight controls or great level design.

Game looks fun, probably not GOTY material but I play games to have a good time and this could fit the bill. Graphics look bananas.
This is my big issue. They've talked so much about so many different features that would make for an incredible game but have only shown the most bland parts. It's really hard to believe and very strange. I'm massively excited for this game based on what they've described but they really need to show it.
dafuq is this shit
Nothing wrong with it. Just shows that how GAF thinks dialogue should be written and how the dialogue actually has to be written are two very different things. Bissell has spent a lot of time with soldiers, written about war torn countries, and he really wanted to inject that into the dialogue but it just didn't work because there are very specific lines that video game combat has to hit.
Overall I liked the (sadly too short) trailer, but two things bothered me:
1. The tearing. I hope you guys can fix it until the game ships.
2. The AI. They just don't do anything when they get shot. Hopefully this will also be better in the retail game.
But yeah, looking forward to E3 and more gameplay videos.
Very valid criticism.

Maybe, I think Xbox and PC fans really like to follow Sony Games because lacking on their side.

So many reasons that have been stated so many times.
These comments are getting a little... uh
Strange handling of this game so far but it's not like the real media push for this game has started. We know it's coming, we know it's a looker, but there is definitely something missing from what we've seen so far: and that's some kind of unique selling point. I hope to see it at E3. I'm not especially worried that we haven't seen it so far because we've genuinely seen about 3 minutes of gameplay and a bit of cutscene.
I hope they get it right, I really like the setting of this game.

If there's not very important character and plot progression through dialogue when some random NPCs are shooting at you, then what's the point of gaming? Obviously the few gaf members complaining about it have legit complaints.
Nope, whenever they make a R&C on PS4 they will still be awful.
I don't want to derail the thread with Insomniac talk.
geordiemp
Member
No, I really have always liked Insomniac. Its just that the console they are exclusive on is awful LOL.
Back to the topic, If this game is to be successful / critically acclaimed it needs the length and diversity and exploration of a Resident Evil 4.
As such, what we have seen should be a tiny tiny snippet.
If it is not, then it better have coop. If it has neither, then ....mmmm

They used to be better. Last couple of years, games aren't that great.
