I hope they're saving the destruction and hybrids for the stage demo at E3.

Where have they talked about the destructibility by the way? I'd like to read about it.
I'm pretty sure we're gonna be left speechless after E3 demo, in a good way, of course. It seems that RAD finally decided to present this game in a way they should have done since the beginning.

I would like to see if this actually affects gameplay.

Correct me if i'm wrong Amir0x, but the destruction aspect was always minimal iirc:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=657629&highlight=the+order+1886
Either way we haven't seen much of it.
Perhaps, but while I wasn't expecting what you said here, I was expecting it to play a gameplay role, since it apparently was supposed to. I mean I'm watching the videos and seeing stuff blow up and hit the walls and nothing is being permanently damaged except the typical fences and stuff.
In fact, in that webm gif in this topic, it showcases our main behind cover shooting a flare that sticks to the wall. If you look to the left of the flare, there's that open destroyed building again - the same exact one from the image RAD was using to showcase an example of being able to destroy things in the game.
What this video demonstrates is that the hole is already predetermined, it's already there when the player gets there now. Does this mean destruction is out? I don't know, in the interview they said "and several surprising features that people might not expect from an action game", so that may be one of them. But I'm starting to get very skeptical.
I doubt it, I think this WAS the unveiling for this time of the year. They even let the journalists play the same demo that will be at E3.
Wishmaster92 said:
This quote right here Wishmaster92 is precisely why people are wondering what's going on. If this "dynamic destruction" lie at the heart of The Order's gameplay, where is it?
I really doubt it's in currently, it might have even been one of the reasons for the delay.
Yes, one journalist mentioned how he liked to use that.
In one of these new videos Ru says more will be shown at E3. This is a taste.

I hope it's not just MGS2-level of "destructablity"
Oh good. It's do or die time, really. They need to showcase what this game is really all about if there is anything more to all this. There's little time for excuses about they can always show it later; they're drowning in indifference right now.

E3 is where RaD will need to bring an Uncharted 2 type stage demo. I would open with this.

After reading the Eurogamer preview I'm really happy they delayed this. Just as I feared watching the gameplay videos, the Eurogamer preview suggests the gunplay doesn't feel great, and he describes it as "lightweight" with enemies not reacting to every shot. This is something that will make or break this game. The shooting has to feel good and impactful.
I really hope they get that straightened out by their ship date. I want these amazing weapons to feel as awesome as they look in action.

This last batch of information ..... just has me like what the holy eff..... I mean seriously I cannot name another game that looks this good on any console and in my OPINION it looks fun as hell. The segment where he goes and burns down the groups of enemies while hiding behind the pillar and the bullet time gif have got me over here .... like .....doubleyou tea eff ....also that ... MUSIC the atmosphere it provides....... Cannot wait to see what they do at E3 but I expect this to cause a lot of problems. It seems Sony's exclusives are about to raise the bar substantially. Infamous was amazing and this looks much better.... the rumor is that Uncharted 4 looks better than this!!!! Holy hell.
Side note this has made me want the next Mass Effect game to be NEXT/CURRENT gen only.

"My modern CGI benchmark" that needs to be achieved realtime on consoles is this:

We're still not there yet. But thankfully, Order shows us that we are not that far away.
I think AC:Unity will take it one step closer to achieving that AC:B CGI, since it's being developed solely for PS4/Xbox One.

Like I asked before, what else could u tell us about the game? Any hints or clues??Yes, that works. You can also use enemies that are lit on fire
Edit: why is no one asking this man any questions?? Or am I wrong for assuming he is working on the game?

He says, ignoring the slew of positive impressions across the internet.
Why does everyone focus on that one preview? Oh wait, because concern trolling and incessant doomcasting is waaay more fun than expressing any sort of optimism.
When the first trailer of watch dog was shown I was really excited getting into gaming again. But the downgrade was a let down.
With the Order 1886, I hope all we have seen is in-game. I love the athmosphere, the characters, the desgin, the weapons, the time etc. Is just amazing, might even buy a ps4 just to play this game.
I know there is no online, but this would the Timesplitters-kinda-game we have been waiting for (for those who really want an alternative shooter next to bf and cod.)

Speechless! oO
Damn! I remember when I was playing the first and second playstation, wondering if I could see the day where titles would look like those awesome, creazy CGI sequences punctuating the games. The opening of Soul Blade, the cutscenes of FFVIII...
The day has finally come!

Do you work at RAD? Please see if you can release a hq b-roll video with all the footage shown so far.

It's almost too much for my eyeballs to process!
Can someone crop half of this and end it when she leaves frame?
It'll be an incredible bad post gif.

He implied quite heavily (at least that's the way I saw it) in one of today's interviews that E3 will showcase the half-breeds. Seeing the members of the Order engage in warfare with a very different type of enemy could be an effective means of demonstrating the diversity in combat.

Thankfully I think hit reactions are one of the areas where they can pretty quickly make improvements. While I don't think it looks as bad as some say, it definitely is an area that could use some work.

Here's the better quality of that Blacksight slow motion moment:
That gunplay looks pretty damn good to me and reminds me of RDR somewhat (which is always a good thing in my book)
Really need to fix the tearing though,

So this GIF makes me very happy, but what exactly is going on here with the pistol shots? Is this a mark-and-execute mechanic?
Sorry if this has been covered already - this thread is pretty big.

There has to be a sex scene or atleast make out session QTE. Cmon RAD. Earn my respect again.
Black Sight. It can be triggered if you drink enough Black Water.So this GIF makes me very happy, but what exactly is going on here with the pistol shots? Is this a mark-and-execute mechanic?

Seems like it uses auto aim and you squeeze on the trigger till one guy falls, then flip with the right stick to repeat. Doesn't seem particularly engaging from a gameplay perspective, but it sure does look cool.

Whoa son, you've been playing too many Quantic Dream games.

It looks like aiming is automatic, we can only pick the target.
NullPointer

Yeah, I should've been clearer - was wondering whether the player is aiming at all since there is no reticle. It looks like an automatic kill system.
Yeah, that'd look nice but it'd be less impressive. Maybe its an automatic room clearing move?
The graphics look fantastic. But I'm still eagerly waiting to see other parts of the game other than the same White Chapel area. Show us something other than shooting at E3.
I'm waiting to see if they were able to pull this off, with bustling NPC's.
And allow us to explore this, and hopefully interact with the NPC's as well. Give this game another layer other than just a shooter.
I also hope for a bit of Resident Evil style puzzle solving. I'm getting kind of a whole Eternal Darkness vibe from the whole thing with the storyline. This could be the ultimate game if they do this right.
If this game was running at a locked framerate and without screen tearing I'd be more inclined to believe scenes such as those would be possible in the game. I think people expecting more than shootbang scenarios are setting themselves up for disappointment.

Have to agree that I liked the old colour palette better than the new one. Still is gorgeous of course.
ricen-beans,
I won't be able to say much without getting in trouble, I wish I could say more but I can't/won't be able to.
E3 is coming very soon

I believe this game will be amazing. I wont say doomed just based on a quote from the Game Director. I just hope they have a good E3 showing cause so far it hasn't been that amazing.

Sensitive much? This was one of my most anticipated games of the year. As I said in my post, the shooting looked janky. I guess I've played enough games to know it when I see it.
Then a preview comes along and says the shooting feels janky.
Where is the source for this quote? And yea, Shinobi has already indirectly implied we'd see areas that resemble the earlier concept art.
