I played through Beyond: Two Souls, and black bars were the least of that game's problems; I barely noticed them at all. I trust in Ready At Dawn and believe their decision to include them will enhance the gaming experience.
Black bar controversy out of the way, dang we're being drip-fed info about this game. It looks so promising going by screenshots, and the character models are exquisite, but if we're going to have to wait till E3 before we get to see some definitive gameplay footage then there's going to be a lot of thirsty gaffers come summertime.
I feel your pain.

What is the premise? Steampunky England?
There's a lot of hype for a game we know almost nothing about.

I dunno, it's just a cool ass setting, it's such a shame I will be blasting through tight little areas with little opportunity to explore. I can understand Uncharted being linear - because it's not about world building, or deep fiction. It's about characters, cool locations and exciting events.
Whereas this (at the moment) is just asking for me to invest all my excitement into the world, when it's mostly going to be a facade I'm running through shooting.
It's not EVERYTHING.
Just as I said above, deep lore or fiction seems so lost in a linear game to me. And that's the only thing they're selling so far.

I like the art direction, but I think the characters don't look different enough from each other in that first screenshot posted here.

A visceral third-person cover based shooter created by devs who have admitted they are going out of their way to make it look just like a film, complete with that utterly ridiculous aspect ratio.
Just about everything I know about this game so far rustles my jimmies.

'they' as in the marketing team? I'm starting to hate that team. we're supposed to get DriveClub race video last year too. supposedly the video is already sent to the marketing team and we still haven't seen it till now.
ZOMG! Co-fucking-signed! Make this happen, RAD!

Maybe this game is about a secret war between those who can grow magnificent moustaches, and those who can't. The hairless massive rise up against our immaculately-groomed brethren and it sparks a new Cold upper lip War. Those that can't sport splendid soupcatchers then become mutated from dark experiments to try and artificially augment themselves with the ultimate accessory of ladykiling manliness, but the experiments fail and they become hairy abominations instead. The moustached master race must then dispatch them by any means necessary using an array of spectacular weaponry that fuels itself on energy harnessed from their masculinity.

Cant say I agree.
I still think the men look too similar. Would it have killed them to make one a different ethnicity, or at least changed the hair color or something?
I don't see how deep lore and fiction is lost in linear games. If you ask me open world games tend to under-develop their lore since the player can depart from it so freely, and so much of the depth needs to be hunted out in obscure locations.
Meanwhile linear games can really build on their narrative with traditional story telling mechanics. I mean, saying linear games can't explore their lore and fiction is like saying that movies and TV shows can't either, since they're even more linear media. The point here is to tell a story that the player gets to play an active role in.
It's two different kinds of fiction really. Non-linear games are shooting for world oriented lore where the world itself is the most interesting element. Linear games tend to be character driven with the world providing a backdrop for said character. RAD is clearly focused on a character driven epic with how much time they've put into their main foursome, I see nothing wrong with that.
Also, the best non-linear game still struggles mightily to develop strong characters over the course of a game while more linear experiences can develop a more engrossing world simply through multiple stories set within the same world. RAD has talked about The Order potentially becoming a multimedia property. I think a TV show/movie/etc. would do plenty to flesh out the lore of the game.
Perhaps you're looking at the color scheme of their standard issue uniforms?
Skin complexion aside, none of them look even remotely alike.

You are over reacting it by claiming it to be half, it's barely even a quarter of the screen.
And no you couldn't be more wrong when you say "obviously less FOV". The obvious thing here is that the FOV in this game is wider than any 16:9 game you've seen on console and I can't see how didn't notice that.
Look at how much area is visible even after zooming in your weapon.

Stop gaming on an LCD and you won't even notice the black bars.

The men look extremely similar to each other in that pic. You just made my point for me.
Ironic considering it's the most technically advanced game we've heard of so far.
No, they don't look similar at all.
In Victorian London?

Similar facial hair, similar size, similar skin color, similar postures, similar facial expressions etc...
I think they could use more stuff to differentiate them from each other. Maybe in the final product with voice overs and animations I won't feel this way, but right now, the character designs look uninspired. I love the art direction for the game, though, and it's my most anticipated title for PS4 currently.

Here's a guide to get folks prepared for The Order
So many 20th century fashions keep cycling in and out of fashion, I wonder when there will finally be a comeback for the glorious facial hair artwork of the 19th century. When will Flapwings fly again?

What does the display tech have to do with the black bars? I'm not seeing the connection...

I'm interested where there are going with the filmic approach.
