Beyond just the obvious caveats about needing to significantly improve much of the actual game part of the game, I have to say for me where the story left off doesn't inspire much confidence.

I posted a lot about this in the OT, but I was so thoroughly

Spoiler

turned off of Grayson by the end, they massacred Izzy's character to create drama, and as for the two best characters, one of them is dead and the other would likely be sidelined for most of the game because of where it left off.

The Order did many things right, and the most difficult ones. It also has built a great world ready to introduce sequels. Its flaws for me were minor, and I would like to see a sequel where they would very likely adress them.

Things I'd like to address: To reduce a bit the proportion of time spent on cinematics, to make it a bit more replayable, maybe a bit less linear with a wider corridor, to make it maybe 25%-50% longer, to introduce a co-op mode and to improve the a bit the combination of IA, covers, level design and weapon variety to polish the gameplay experience and variety. And well, maybe to improve the final boss battles.

 

[half a moon]

Yes please

 

[btags]

Why shouldn't it?

Every game should be able to have a squeal to redeem itself or build upon itself

Obviously a typo, but this made me laugh really hard for some reason.

 

[daveo42]

They should just release the 2nd half of the game.

 

[Fury451]

Yes. So much underutilized potential in the world they built.

 

[Kosma]

Yes

So much potential, now just to flesh it out.

 

[kmag]

Replaying uncharted 2 right now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that type of design. They just need deeper mechanics to the combat. The orginal idea that weapons would manipulate the world for example

Uncharted 2 mixed it up with somewhat interesting traversal, and a bit of a sense of verticality. But even then we're talking a 6 year old game, you'd hope that the formula would be improved and expanded six years down the line, the Order if anything is a regression to the early 6th gen 3rd person cover shooters.

The Order generally had you plod along a very pretty corridor for a bit until you either hit a chest high wall signalling your entrance to a kill rectangle or triggered a cutscene after which you found yourself behind a chest high wall getting ready to clear the kill box. Can that be entertaining, yes but you'd expect something a lot more than a 2006 style game with fantastic graphics.

 

[phanphare]

the opportunity cost of making another Order game alone is enough to say "no"

do something different

 

[thelastword]

Yes, they should, the game deserves it. With some improvements to gameplay and encounters, this game should easily transition to a top tier TPS in every aspect.

 

[Kinyou]

Would love to see one. The game has some very obvious flaws, but at the same time I feel like the thing it was trying was interesting. The setting itself definitely has a lot of potential. Though I do have to say the parts that impressed me the most about the game (presentation and especially the animations) isn't bound to the IP itself. So whatever multiplatform IP they're working on right now might offer the same strengths.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

I'd play that. I liked The Order's graphics, location and setting. Too bad they couldn't pull out story from it. Maybe the second game fixes that.

 

[Ushay]

I've not played it .. but yes. It looks like a very, very cool premise and setting. Hate to see lore and potential franchises like that go to waste.

 

[Draft]

of course. How else will we know what happens with the werewolves and vampires and mustaches and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[BONDO]

Hell yea

 

[psynergylover]

Yes, and it will!

 

[Novocaine]

Absolutely. Please don't let that beautiful engine go to waste.

 

[watchdog]

Absolutely. I thought it was a solid game and RAD came up with an amazing universe. I would love to see what else they could pull off with their engine.

Spoiler

I'd love to see an Eastern European setting where you're clearing out towns and castles filled with vampires.

 

[Stanng243]

Yes.

 

[Grisby]

Yep. I didn't think the first game was that great, but it had some okay shooting mechanics. If they could rework the level design, pacing, and other common complaints (x to roll) the it could be great.

 

[son of a Sven]

I still gotta finish it. I played about 3 hours and quit.

If you actually *played* for 3 hours, then you should be finished, right?

 

[Amory]

just got this from gamefly. started it yesterday and I'm really enjoying it so far. it's beautiful and the shooting is fun, if a little easy.

i think a sequel would be great if they'd flesh out the whole experience, add multiplayer, generally make the whole experience less linear

 

[Ivan]

I want a sequel, but as a gameplay focused game, please...

 

[Akibared]

The world they created is really awesome so I hope they make another.

 

[silver moose]

Personally, yes I would love a sequel. I thoroughly enjoyed the The Order 1886.

Reaslisticaly, yeah very unlikely, which makes me sad.

 

[StaffyManasse]

I'd like a sequel, but they really need to think again about how to implement stealth gameplay lol.

And of course cutting down on pre-canned animations and quick time events in favour of player decicion making and actions.

 

[Happy-Bunny]

Yes but focus more on gameplay!

 

[Fried Food]

Nope. It doesn't deserve a sequel. Charging 60 bucks for what was the first one? the sequel would inf effect cost me 120 bucks since the first might as well have not existed.

 

[Paganmoon]

This post contains about 2000% hyperbole.

 

[KOHIPEET]

From the same writer/director? No. From someone else, perhaps. The concept has potential, but it needs much much better writing.

 

[DOWN]

It at least earned a DLC Epilogue. The game is gorgeous and shines in production design, even if some people didn't care for it being a hybrid Gears/Beyond thing

 

[Endo Punk]

I dont like the story or characters. Even if they were able to make it more gameplay orientated I am tired of TPS games with only UC4 holding interest. RAD are no ND and even if they were able to make a game as fun as how UC4 looks or TLOU, the characters and story are already defined and its pretty damn terrible.

 

[Ledhead]

There was a lot there that dragged the end product down. That said, there was a lot there that made the first game enjoyable, and is worth expanding upon. SOLID core gunplay, but could certainly be expanded upon to make the gameplay less repetitive. The game also had great voice acting, interesting characters, and amazing graphics.

While the story was a little muddled at time, the core arc had me interested, and I would really like to know what happens next. I'm not holding out hope, but I would love for a sequel to be made.

 

[PROJECTZERO]

No. Was a very dissapointing game for myself. Looked great but thats about it.

 

[Neuromancer]

I would like one, but didn't Supermassive Games say they were going multiplatform? It seems very unlikely to me that there will be another.

 

[Ricky_R]

I would like one, but didn't Supermassive Games say they were going multiplatform? It seems very unlikely to me that there will be another.

 

[SkoomaSuckinSwit]

Prob won't happen, but it should.
I'm actually playing The Order for the first time right now, and it's fantastic.
Amazing looking, cinematic, interesting story, good gunplay.
Granted, I only paid $15 for it, so playing something this good for so little feels like theft.

 

[DevilFox]

Yes

Totally.

Totally yes. I'd never say no to a second chance, more so if the IP is new and shows a lot of potential like this one.
Unfortunately, we know it's not going to happen. Color me shocked (but very happy) if Sony, or anyone else, knocks at RaD's doors again.

 

[Zack Zavage]

Considering how the game ended... Absolutely yes!

 

[Hektor]

It at least earned a DLC Epilogue. The game is gorgeous and shines in production design, even if some people didn't care for it being a hybrid Gears/Beyond thing

Probably because it isnt such a hybrid. Unless you consider every game with cutscenes to be one.

 

[arevin01]

If you want Sony to lose money then sure.

 

[Bartholomuse]

There's loads of room for improvement, so yes it should get a second chance.

 

[IronicSonic]

The Order 1886 needs to be remembered like a cult yet divisive title rather than a boring series

 

[spookyfish]

Yes. Too short, and I really enjoyed the game.

I'd be interested to see what the developers could do with the universe.

 

[Oemenia]

There's money to be salavaged, I can see them going the route Remedy went with Alan Wake and do smaller related projects.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Uncharted 1 is way, way better than The Order and UC1 isn't even that good. It was a critical failure and a commercial failure. No reason to continue it.

 

[SkoomaSuckinSwit]

Uncharted 1 is way, way better than The Order and UC1 isn't even that good. It was a critical failure and a commercial failure. No reason to continue it.

Eh, opinions. Uncharted1 bored me when I played it, I stopped playing 1/3 way through it.
The Order interested me more, kept me engaged for the whole 9 or so hours it took me to complete.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

It won't get one because Sony ended their contract with RaD who have started on other projects since Sony owns the IP.

I'd be up for a sequel but it's not happening.

I'm in blind for a sequel made by a team withing Naughty Dogs or Bend.

 

[ironcreed]

I want to see it. The gameplay that it has feels great, the production value is through the roof and there is much potential to build on. It's a game I plan to go back and play again.

 

[family_guy]

Give it to Naughty Dog.
