Those shots look really good.

 

[KainXVIII]

Blur ruined this screenshots.

 

[Arulan]

Motion blur, depth of field, chromatic aberration, film grain, lens distortion effects, and black bars. I wonder what the next atrocity for the sake of the cinematic they'll come up with next.

The Movie 1886

Goddamn... Is this allowed?

Shouldn't it be?

 

[Ghostage]

Damn, looks amazing.
Its insane how detailed everything looks.

 

[JaggedSac]

DoF the game

Good thing there are evenly spaced sandbags and boxes in that street for cover

I was about to make a DoF comment as well.

 

[Chance Hale]

I guess the Order is joining Ryse as the only 3D next gen game with good IQ, so wonderful to see. (Infamous is up there, but there's still tons of aliasing) Really, really hope TXAA(or whatever they're using that is very close) becomes more common in console games.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Can't wait to play it

Based on the screens in the OP? What?

The Order 1886 uses 4xMSAA for the aliasing.

Is it really that bad if we get one game with huge focus on cinematic looks and feel?

Usually in PC games things like film grain, chromatic aberration and DoF are the first things I disable (guess its just my old-school preference haha). They definitely can help with hiding imperfections and conveying certain effects/atmospheres though, so I can see why a developer may chose them.

It really doesn't bother me too much as I'm used to it by now... but I can't help but wonder... assuming its a solid 30fps with all these features on, what could it run at without them? Usually on PC they are fairly demanding in the FPS department.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Bit crap quality screens. You can see this scene in motion in this preview video. Looks incredible.

Anyway there has been many videos for this game released. Judging the game in a vacuum by these screens is pointless.

 

[Arulan]

Should it be allowed? Sure, if the visual designer wants to express himself, he can, but make sure you have graphics options to remove them.

It's hardly the first game to push those effects strongly unfortunately.

I thought this was NeoGAF and not /v/.

Drive by shitposting is not encouraged here. The screenshots look great imo, but of course this thread will be full of "concern".

 

[realcZk]

The Order 1886 uses 4xMSAA for the aliasing.

I'm pretty impressed with that, not many console games have AA in that quality do they? All in all, what RAD was able to do with the visuals is mouth watering for a PS4 game and these screenshots really don't seem to do it justice compared to some video leaks I've seen.

 

[Shabad]

I need a survival horror game that looks like this.

Spoiler

Wouldn't even mind the black bars. ;p

There are survival-horror sections in this game ;-)

 

[jediyoshi]

I'm sure they have an explanation but not putting the HUD elements on the black bars takes the fucking piss.

Yes, it's whatever the colloquialism is for what's after taking the fucking piss.

 

[bargeparty]

Another bright white HUD? I hope to god you can customize the transparency.

 

[Handy Fake]

Well this thread became a bit of a shitfest fast.

 

[Chance Hale]

The Order 1886 uses 4xMSAA for the aliasing.

Is it just MSAA? It has the slight blur characteristic of txaa and Crytek's SMAA AA solutions. MSAA on its own is usually pretty sharp.

 

[Milestoned]

looks so middling

it looks too clean.

Is it so much to ask for Sony to just eliminate the black bars?

Is this 2006? why is everything so brown.

This close to release and the best they can do is "screenshots"?!?

Yep, that's a classic The Order thread!

 

[SneakyStephan]

How do those boxes and sandbags make any sense at all.
For a 'cinematic' game their levels sure are videogamey (and not in a good way)

 

[Cornbread78]

Of course, par for the course; it's a Sony exclusive...


I'm really looking forward to this, a little over a week away now. I just have to talk the wife into letting me buy it for my birthday 3 weeks early, lol.

 

[Seanspeed]

it looks too clean. i kinda want it just to support RAD but not enough interest for me to buy at full price.

Too clean? Shit looks blurry as hell with all filtering and grain and CA and whatnot.

Still looks good, though. Definitely the most 'cinematic' game I've ever seen.

These are PNGs.

The internet has created so many experts...

I think you're seeing the motion blur.

The super strong film-grain prevents anything from looking TOO crisp anyways.

 

[Averon]

Well this thread became a bit of a shitfest fast.

So, a typical The Order thread, then.

 

[nib95]

Really like this shot.

 

[Captain Smoker]

Game looks really good, but these filters and the horrible black bars... it's too distracting, don't like it at all.

Edit: Colors are fine, it fits the game, but the noise filter is bad. But the noise isn't visible in motion, so that's fine. Black bars are still horrible, hated them in The Evil Within.

 

[jiiikoo]

Seems so. Concern is too damn high!

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I'm really looking forward to this, a littl eover a week away now. I just have to talk the wife into letting me buy it for my birthday 3 weeks early, lol.

Has nothing to do with it being a Sony exclusive, has to do with crappy level design in that shot and over used effects.

 

[midasmulligan]

Ah yes, a classic The Order thread. Great to see we're back to form after the positiveness of the other threads we have going on right now. /s

Lol, ain't that truth. The pendulum swings widely with this one. Given that I've tried to avoid as much about the game as possible, I am torn with this game. From my limited prospective, it could either be 1) a short, on rails, QTE mash fest with stunning visuals, or 2) the best looking, most atmospheric and impressive game released this gen...effing grab bag (still day one for me though).

 

[Bollocks]

holy shit that looks like a pixar movie
cg quality right there

 

[djplaeskool]

Stop for some concern, did you?

 

[Chance Hale]

Haters can get wrecked!

It's not always gray, but the color scheme obviously is based around a dreary atmosphere. No Bioshock Infinite color fantasias.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

The community did a better job than Sony to promote the game, those screens looks annoying at best.

I'm ready to play it on Day One..

I saw an ad during the Walking Dead Season Premiere

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

how come we are ok if a game decides to look like it was made of playdough or paper, but it's a no-no when a game decides to look blurry and grainy like a film? It looks great, a bit exaggerated, but beautiful nonetheless.

 

[RK9039]

It's Victorian London, of course it is fucking brown.

 

[jiiikoo]

Has nothing to do with it being a Sony exclusive, has to do with crappy level design in that shot and over used effects.

And you were able to deduce this from the 6 screenshots. Nicely done.

I don't think the color scheme is the problem. It's all the filters like blur, grain and chromatic aberration.

 

[Handy Fake]

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Game looks incredible in motion as is widely evident by now, but these screen are straight up bad. They make it look much more blurry and heavily filtered than it appears when actually seen in motion. Are they really official PR shots from Sony?

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

I don't get this post.

It's a steampunk fantasy in the Victorian Era of London.

Was it suppose to be blue?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I changed my post before your post. That shot is horrible, I'm sorry. You can even see it continues even farther down the road.

You can watch videos of the game to see the over used effects, you don't need new screenshots for that.

The purpose of a thread is to discuss a game, or news about a game, or the industry.

Not to post dumb gifs and get all excited together.
