Ugh.... It looks like The Order will squeeze in with Killzone and Infamous as very pretty games with shallow-as-fuck gameplay. Sony's first party needs to get it together.

Enemy stands still waiting to be shot.

*dies*

Next enemy runs to same exact spot and then waits to be shot.

Good lord...
 
I love third person shooters, but they do need to be dynamic. Uncharted's combat sandboxes for example, think the ship graveyard, are very open and contain lots of verticality. Add decent AI and you have great cat and mouse type combat encounters.

That's what this game needs as well. More open, dynamic scenario's. That or RE4 quality design. I still have faith in RAD, but they do need to show something more substantial at E3.

I have seen the above repeating so many times like with Uncharted 4 (meh) and Halo 5 (yay) or DriveClub (boring) Forza horizon 2 (I can't wait!)

God dam missed the live stream

Anyway using a little common sense and trying to ignore the poor quality of the youtube footage I think its looking very good

  • great smoke, particles and debris in explosions
  • great looking lighting
  • cool coat physiques


I would be lying though if I said my jaw was dropped.

  • gears of uncharted steampunk edtion (which aint a bad thing, I was and still am hoping it can be more )
  • from what we have seen it looks like a good shooter with some fancy graphical elements
  • the game looks kind of sparse
  • This sonys flagship title with AAA visuals and they choose to show it only on twitch???? why?
 
Visuals are really impressive, digging the world.

The gameplay though... well... hope there is more to it.

there will be more to it now that I remember. RAD hasn't done a good job showing it.

The game has:
detective elements
third person shooting
maybe dead space like combat with monsters
exploration (going by the art)

should be pretty diverse
 
I don't get why people are being so hard on this game for the TPS/cover aspect of it. FPS games haven't changed much in 20 years and I don't hear many complaints over how they're just about shooting reloading and throwing grenades. The gameplay certainly doesn't look revolutionary, but it doesn't look bad by any means.
 
Now that I think about it, I want brutal AI. I want creatures that come at you from all angles and use the shadows to ambush you. I want scripted scenes to be minimal. The best FPS experiences for me are with modes like Terrorist Hunt in Rainbow Six, where the AI is all over the map in limited numbers and you really don't know when and how they will come at you. This makes for endless replayability.

You're not going to see "brutal A.I." in a demo, everyone always points out pretty much all demos are played on easy to show off.

I want the game to be good , something new does not mean that all sudden it going to be good .
This whole idea that a game has try something new is nonsense , I expect a TPS that going to have a twist on certain gameplay elements nothing more .

I agree with you when it comes to the 2nd or 3rd iteration in a franchise. I just had high hopes for this game/franchise to be something other than a great looking cover shooter. Especially at the start of a new gen, following a console generation that went on for far to long. Everything they've shown so far looks like more of the same in a new setting. But hey, that was 3 minutes and there might be zeppelin chases and carriage riding for all I know.

Unless you cite specific examples of the same people doing what you're saying, these complaints are tiresome.

I don't mind that this is a Gears clone, but my main disappointment is lack of multiplayer, co-op or deathmatch. The only way I would care about a shooter without multiplayer is if it was a RPG like Mass Effect or Fallout or if it had a really good story like The Last of Us.

I don't understand why people think new consoles mean games are suddenly going to transcend their respective genres overnight.

A tps game that shockingly looks like it might play like one. It's like every new game has to suddenly reinvent the wheel.

A tease they said. I'm teased. Looking forward to more at E3. Job done.

I think Sony on purpose showing last year footage (Doing infamous KZ upgrade hype). I'm curious how will it be at the moment.

Why do you keep saying that it's last year's footage? The level itself is probably the same as the GI shots sure, but there could easily have been enhancements during that time.

I think you should stop only reading posts by the known Xbox fanboys.

Usual suspects as always.
 
The slight lag is due on my part and not from the game itself, i was trying to get a smoother framerate for the gif.

We've seen a couple minutes of solid gun play at most (probably closer to a minute). I'm not quite sure how people are drawing a "Gears clone" conclusion outside of the aesthetics.

I'm not saying it isn't or cannot be, just that I feel we've barely seen anything on the gun play of the game.
