Footage of The Order 1886 wasn't ready for VGX

Oh this one is good.
But yeah, this blows massive balls. I feel like Sony has to unveil a new game at VGX now, or else their showing would be pitiful with just an Uncharted trailer that was already teased before. Ugh.
Not every developer is restricted by the Madden/COD cycle of forced yearly releases. Want something done right, it'll take time.Juliet's 8½ Spirits;92648176 said:
I think they just want their big gameplay moment to be incredible. If that means they have to skip VGX, then so be it.
That's 3 months away. I hate how new media from unreleased games is confined to these little industry events the mainstream doesn't even pay attention to. Can we just put the footage out there when it's ready even if it's just some random ass Wednesday or Thursday? Fuck...

And here Geoff thought they wouldn't have time to pencil in the Doritos and Dew chugging contest!

from the first trailer

Well, they've shown gameplay to several journalists so we know there is a playable, presentable game there. My guess is that they're simply being perfectionists who don't want to publically show gameplay until they get the details right and it really wows people. Remember Naughty Dog saying they regretted showing off Drake's Fortune so early because they felt it wasn't ready to be shown? I'm pretty sure that's the case here (only that RAD and Sony went through with not showing it this time).

I don't even care. Whoever doesn't have a massive backlog is doing things wrong. 
lol. More like: 'The game will be ready after dawn'

Personally I think it will be 2015
For real. My hype levels are in the gutter.

So then what did the press see when they previewed the gameplay demo?

The press has already seen it behind closed doors and said it looks incredible,that doesn't mean anything. They could be intense into development and not have time to really make a demo to show on the side. Believe it or not demos take quite a chunk of time to get right and implement.Juliet's 8½ Spirits;92649046 said:
They also might not feel comfortable showing it in public yet, similar to CDPR with The Witcher 3. That got a demo behind closed doors for journos and everyone was raving about it, but CDPR told me they still didn't feel comfortable showing it to everyone just yet as they wanted it to be perfect.

RaD must be seriously behind schedule if they can't provide an updated trailer. It's been 6 months since the E3 footage, which is plenty of time to do a new trailer.
It's probably best for Sony to push this title to 2015.

They released (gorgeous) pictures of the game months ago, but they aren't ready for a video?
Isn't this thing supposed to release in 2014? Oh well, Sony is probably giving them all the time they need since this could be a very big franchise.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Oh really? My bad, he tweeted this yesterday and Geoff replied saying they might have a slot available as footage wouldn't be ready (which was The Order)

I bet this game is super early. Anyway, Sony needs to get their act together...What have they got to show? Indies are nice and all, but I want to see some big guns. Their devs are probably behind from concentrating on ps3...
It might have just been characters walking around, showing of the environments, and how they aren't static.
But if you're showing footage at VGX you'll want to bring something ... good. Like a firefight. Or a tower falling over. Something more than "This is how cool out game looks".

Something that if shown to the public would result in some serious bad PR. From what I remember, what was shown was half and half actual textures and white boxes. Showing that in a public setting would confuse and result in a lot of bad PR.
Or preparing for another reveal 6 months after the last one was a waste of the teams time?Juliet's 8½ Spirits;92648176 said:
People want this stuff ASAP, they want the hype machine fed, then (rightfully) get upset when it's on time but a broken mess. In this current climate, any studio that errs on the side of doing it right at the expense of an established timeline has their priorities straight in my book.

Sony had a good run. with one game not being ready there better be a new game in its place that's not uncharted plz.

Or they're trying to stay on schedule and not divert resources for a demo build?

So what, the internet can shit on them for a rush job? Yeah real smart. When they're ready, they're ready.
Sony needs to show a hell of a lot of stuff in the coming months, Yoshida and co. state how many games are in development (and I believe them), but they need to start showing more stuff.
Already the Order 1886 has a whiff of, at worst, The Last Guardian, something we may never see, or best case scenario, a Gran Turismo, a game that's in development for years, and can't possibly meet expectations.
All very dissappointing from Ready at Dawn.

Shameful.
This pretty much means they won't make it to the rumoured deadline of fall, if they can't even get a good trailer to go.

I thought the previews talked about a gunfight? Maybe I made that up.
Lol, good show!
Anyway, this blows. I know the next time they show it it's going to look fucking sick! Oh well, back to playing the waiting game.

The Order 2015 it is.
