Footage of The Order 1886 wasn't ready for VGX
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
Watch Dogs is completely different as it was suppose to come out last month originally hence we saw all the gameplay. I'm going to assume we'll see Order gameplay around GDC 2014 due to the fact we have games like Infamous and Driveclub coming out.
I'm thinking we might see a teaser from Santa Monica at VGX hence why we saw a teaser for Uncharted already. Don't tease both at the same event to spread out the PR news releases. Thus you see a steady flow of PS4 news.
My overreaction stems from the fact that Sony's 2014 lineup seem glaringly thin, especially for a company that has publicly stated they have a lot of games in development. If a gameplay trailer is not ready today with The Order's potential release scheduled for sometime in 2014, that is a worrisome sign that it may slip into 2015. If that's the case what will be released in late 2014? Uncharted? An unannounced game? We just don't know because Sony has been tight lipped on their future offerings. Maybe VGX will shed some light on that but time is running out and the later Sony waits the more evident that the back-end of 2014 will be devoid of tentpole exclusive for the PS4.

Killzone and Infamous have not received a number because they are reboots with new characters etc. Are you saying that it is "more reasonable" that the new Uncharted game has not received a number because it's also some kind of reboot without Nathan Drake?
I hope. But if there will a big reveal tomorrow, wouldn't Geoff have teased us to death?

Major release, and the only thing the public has seen is the E3 trailer. It's allegedly supposed to come out less than a year from now.
VGA is a big thing, I doubt RAD would be allowed to not show a single thing if it was a minor issue they could easily somehow bypass in time.
From the way this is being handled, signs suggest they're facing at least some form of delay, which will most likely be short term. I see this releasing Spring 2015.
Not saying the game is broken, sometimes artists deserve a little more time, and I have no doubt it will turn out great. But this really doesn't look like it's coming out 2014.

I love how GAF jumps to conclusions. If it's launched in 2014 it'll be rushed!!
Pure speculation, with no evidence to back it up beyond the fact you haven't seen it running. 13 months is a long time..

That's a theory you have come up with yourself. I don't recall any of the devs saying so at all. Reasonable thing is to think that's a new approach sony is taking. It could be right or wrong when it comes to UC but for now it looks likely. I can see a good marketing angle from such a move too.
And again, you are extremely reaching if you think lack of a number or subtitle is indication of anything substantial regarding the state of the project. Hell it would make sense to even consider the possibility that the subtitle may have a hint that may give away something important regarding the game itself, so ND wants to keep it under wraps till the full reveal.

They're not reboots. They're, perhaps a slight change of direction but they're still in the same line of continuity, in the same narrative universe (at least I think ISS is) and the gameplay hasn't really changed much more than you'd expect in a regular sequel (Well, we can't be sure about that for InFamous but it looks that way).

Who said anything about it releasing in 6 or 7 months? It's due in fall.
Is this a truthfact or your speculation?

For the love of god, please think before you post.
Absolutely nothing from SSM either so far. I think Sony might be in the process of shutting them down. So much for Barlog coming back(((
Sony closing Sony Santa Monica? are you serious?
Back on topic the order news are disappointing, the game looks really interesting and I'd love to see some gameplay. I guess there will be an Uncharted 4 trailer in the VGX.
The game was announced in June, and Sony usually give a game 12 months of coverage and then release the game. For example Infamous SS, announced in February, coming out in March 2014. All 3 Uncharteds followed the same trend. I merely assumed The Order would be the same.

So basically you believe it won't be called "Uncharted 4"? Ok, we will see.
I said "could". Of course it is just speculation, but the previous teasers were different and I haven't seen any teases from Geoff regarding the game, which I think would have been there if there was a big reveal of a Naughty Dog game tomorrow.
I can't really think of anything that needs to be a "secret" until the reveal. The previous subtitles were pretty generic ("Among Thieves", "Drake's Deception").
They are not full reboots, but they have new player characters and a new setting (different time/city/locations).

Ahahahahha
SSM has had a new IP in the works for a few years now and they do a ton of work to assist other studios. They aren't going anywhere.

You are out of your fucking mind. SSM consistently makes games that are extremely well received commercially and critically. They also are absolutely essential to so many of Sony's smaller games as an assisting dev team. The only studio that's less likely to close is Naughty Dog.Absolutely nothing from SSM either so far.

Edit: Unless, you know, you're joking...
Maybe they'll just be relegated to helping small indies making games then. Which doesn't really matter anyway because indie games don't count
((C'mon guys, I'm joking

I bet it will be at VGX just trying to throw us off the chase.

No, because I played Desmond Miles like in the first game. I did not say that this is the only/perfect definition for a reboot™, but those titles where significantly different from the previous titles (which had more in common).
Has Keighley done that before (lie about an announcement to make it more of a surprise)?
Nothing. Sony will have 0 more games come out after MLB 2014.
If the PS4 was a machine purpose-built to run this and nothing else, I'd still have bought it.
Hopefully The Order is suitably far along and they just can't be bothered wasting development time on creating gameplay footage (I know this is not a great undertaking, haha).
It would be awesome to buy a game somewhat blindly like in the old days. A certain sense of awe is lost when we've already seen large chunks of a game in video form.

We'll just have to agree to disagree, I guess. For me it's only a reboot if the game is set in a new narrative universe/timeline or if the gameplay is abruptly and deliberately changed to something very different. And, of course, whether the developers themselves actually consider the game to be a reboot has to do with it, too.
Since E3
Or it's a sign that they would rather work on the game than they would fuck around cutting a trailer just so Doritos Pope can have a big event. There's at least 100 games in development that will not have a trailer at VGX -- is that a sign that they are all going to be delayed?
Unless the trailer was actually a contractual obligation or a development milestone, I don't see how this is really indicative of a delay or a troubled development process.

Well my hype lvl just hit rock bottom, im really not expecting much this year.
Yep, pretty funny.
You won't see The Order until next Fall at the earliest. It will be the Gears of War clone to go up against Halo. I'm beginning to believe you won't see Halo next Fall either, until MS can put out a game at 1080p after all the crap they have taken... Let's face it, Forza is 1080p and 60 fps, but is FAR from a graphical showcase.
Halo has to be flawlesss, or the One is sunk.

What the....?!?! One screen shot and you've come to that conclusion.
I wish people would stop spreading nonsense like that around after seeing one screen shot.
Sorry, dude. Posted without looking at the username. If I realized it was you. I would have gotten it. Some of these theads lately have gone so off the rails that I don't know who is serious any more.Maybe they'll just be relegated to helping small indies making games then.

It's not like they have to show it at VGX or bust.
They will release infos and a new trailer when they are ready, even later this month if they were preparing for VGX but had last minute delays. If they were not planning to show something this year at all, it's an other matter.
Still quality is the most important thing, a disappointing rushed trailer which is not representative of the final game can make more damage than good.
Also the game is scheduled for a fall 2014 release....almost a year away.
