These two would presumably be their full project set given they're not that large.

I dont think the VR OC game part is new info, but the new IP thing sure is

rdytoroll · May 13, 2016

I'm excited for it. I really liked The Order 1886, where they have shown that they can make cinematic games with an interesting setting. It just was lacking a bit in the gameplay department

kenta · May 13, 2016

Sorry, what does OC mean in this context?

DriftingSpirit · May 13, 2016

I'm interested in their action title.

The Order was bogged down by old fashioned game design but there was something there underneath all of the clutter. They just have to zone in on it and cut at the unnecessary stuff.

That's quite an understatement.

Well there goes 1887. Here's hoping they their next new IP is better.

It's a VR game based on the popular 2000s teenage drama.

California, here we coooooome...

I didn't know that's how we were contracting Oculus now; odd.

Glad to see they survived after The Order. I enjoyed the game well enough but people have certainly made up their mind about its quality and how it sold

RADatdawn doesn't own The Order ip though, a sequel could happen without them I imagine lol.

metalslimer · May 13, 2016

Well the order was gorgeous but dear Lord I think people were kind to say the gameplay was mediocre. Outside of the games like heavy rain it was one of the most restrictive games Ive played. Even when you were playing is the most standard shooting experience I've had in a while. I'm sure they can make an awesome looking vr game

FelipeMGM · May 13, 2016

Also, this prob means The Order is dead, though it may live by under Santa Monica Studios wing.

Corpsepyre · May 13, 2016

Hmm, interesting. Didn't think they'd work on AAA stuff after The Order. Man, if only that game was a commercial and critical hit. Maybe Sony would have wanted to buy them? The Order could have been the next Uncharted-like experience if only they didn't make such eye-rolling design decisions.

I do think that if that game had delivered, Sony would at least make a multiple game deal with them again. Maybe even buy the studio.

Their track record prior to The Order was great

Not sure why they'd revive an IP which was received so poorly commercially and critically and when the studio who really had the passion for it are not involved. You might as well ask for Primal 2.

I wouldn't call the game design old fashioned, it's more outdated than anything, we're in the age of Uncharted 4 gameplay on PS4 and RAD is stuck on killswitch and obsessing over qte fests. The game is pretty but the game design sucked shit with no imagination whatsoever.

probably not the OC game, so either the new IP or that 3rd "something" Shinobi mentioned.

Don't know why Sony would let another developer do it. The gameplay was really lacking but the presentation was insanely good and I don't think anyone else except maybe Naughty Dog or Santa Monica could come close to it.

shinobi602 said:

Oh shit. I imagine it'll be revealed at Sony's press conference as even though they're going 3rd party Sony still treated them well with The Order: 1886.

Uncharted 4 does so many of the same things The Order was excoriated over, it's not even funny. Forced walking, object examination, even the boss fight duels... Only a lot of people had decided to look down their noses at The Order before it ever came out.

It does a lot of the same things in the same way Uwe Boll does a lot of the same things as Stephen Spielberg

Uncharted 4 has platforming, dynamic stealth and vertical gameplay integrated into combat, the order didn't. Uncharted 4 has great controls, the order had shit controls, you can't even roll at will in the order, those two games are basically night and day in quality.

The order got most of the flak after it came out, because it was so goddam fucking disappointing.

If you think most of the flak came after release you must not have read a single preview thread here because they were full of people condemning the game and lambasting the devs over statements regarding the cinematic aesthetic the game employs. You must not have played the game, either because the suggestion that it controls poorly is laughable.

It doesn't control great outside of combat. The shooting mechanics are fine, good even, but everything surrounding that, not so much or are we forgetting the awkward QuickTime events or the cut and paste boss battles.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bait post, right? I mean seriously?

I really enjoyed playing The Order, but it isn't even in the same galaxy in game terms compared with UC4 on every level except presentation.

Yes, UC4 does some of the same things, but it does them sooooo much better.

ArkhamFantasy · May 14, 2016

A little bummed that the order is dead but a new IP is always welcome.

I've not claimed they are of equivalent quality. Uncharted is obviously a grander, more dynamic game. But little compares well to Naughty Dog's peak achievement. I just find it ironic that elements used to build a case against Ready at Dawn are apparently totally fine in Uncharted. It's almost as if the case against The Order was built on top a pile prejudicial crap.

Gameplay is kind of a nasty thing to dog in the context of a video game. A bad story is forgivable. Bad gameplay is not.

Or as if execution is important.

Dude, I enjoyed the order for what it was... But dude.... Let's call a spade a spade and agree despite its visual design, there was a lot, A LOT that needed a do over in the gameplay department

The Order: 1888 huh? So you're saying there's a chance.

1886 was squarely a 6 out of 10 game for me, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't invested enough in that world to want a sequel. I'd love a follow-up that was genuinely good.

Their engine has a lot of potential. I'm happy they're utilizing it for many new things. They need better game designers though.
