Police Public Broadcast | The Order 1886

I'm still wondering if the It Lycan enemies we've seen are the only "half breed" monsters in the game? Have they stated if there are other monster types in this?
 
When did he say that?
Around the 1:21 mark Ru slips up and says "This particular species of half breed."

What are your guesses?

Blackwater seems to be half breed blood but not that of the lycans, drinking it heals wounds, grants superhuman speed and slows the aging process but drinking too much has a deadly side effect. Sounds a lot like another mythological creature. Thinking since this all began with the original knights of the round, both the crusades and Vlad would tie into the storyline.

So pretty much vampires?

Would be slightly disappointing tbh, depends how they handle it.

The fact that they call them 'half-breeds' instead of 'werewolves' is all you need to understand that werewolves are not the only creatures they'll fight. I'm almost certain there will be vampires too ... and I reckon at least one member of the Order has a secret we are not yet aware of.
 
Are you really trying to spin this into "Sony marketing is so bad guyz!!!! Lololol." Come on this is an undeniably awesome teaser. Definitely piqued my curiosity.

It is an awesome teaser, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Sony has been pretty incompetent this generation at marketing anything that isn't the PS4
or Destiny.

If I recall correctly, Sony has always made many commercials for every game before it comes out. They even spent huge cash advertising God of War Ascension during the Super Bowl.

I expect Sony to make a live-action commercial with the game just like how they did with Second Son :)

While I disagree (see No Man's Sky) it really has absolutely zero bearing on this teaser and the aforementioned awesomeness.

I'm talking more about the way this game has been shown at events and expos. Anyway I remember Shinobi said a marketing campaign would start soon. About time.
 
They probably won't spoil it before release, but I'm guessing vampires.


agreed. They will more than likely be Daywalker vampires battling Lycans. I recall reading somewhere The Order has been battling the Lycans for centuries. This sounds like something straight out of the lore of the film "Underworld". My guess that the "blackwater" is the game's version of True Blood (synthetic human blood).
 
i assumed it was realtime inengine. Simply because for some reason that does not look live action to me (atleast the beginning something def looks off). Assumed it was cgi and since rad hasnt done cgi assumed inengine.

One it says a lot about the graphics the order is pulling off that we even had this discussion.

Two still not convinced its live action somehow the opening portion before the blood stained pillar just seems off to me from a real life perspective. Cant quite pint point it tho. (would be epic lol if it was confirmed live action tho ... fucking cgi messing with my brain and making me doubt reality :P). think its the lighting on the woodwork and particularly the dials on the radio or whatever..
 
Sony marketing is laughably bad sometimes. Does an email hurt them.. to let them know they're doing a commercial for them...

Sony's internal comms seem to be pretty bad if the marketing team didn't bother telling the dev team what they were doing, or show them.

Still, I work in an office with about 45 people, and we have an internal comms problem between departments & teams...
 
Pretty nice teaser. Kind of different. Doesn't seem to have the same effects visually. Looked pretty real to me.

On the topic of halfbreeds since people seem to talk about it, It's kind of been heavily emphasized of the technological advancements made in the game.I'm kind of wondering if there's probably going to be something similar for biological/genetic advancements made as well which could hint at different form of half breeds not known to the Order.

Vampire or at least some tie to the origins is also what I'd guess for the Order. Blackwater,extended life etc The pledge trailer seems to give me vibes with its "blood that binds us is our covenant" stuff.
 

That's probably the nicest rendition of the Hugo Borchardt Pistol(precursor to the Luger) I've ever seen in a video game.
I find it interesting they took the larger toggles from the later Luger pistol, and some of the breech area is more like a Luger as well. I saw an M712 Schnellfuhrer(Select fire C96 with a twenty round magazine, they are actually pretty cool little guns, very rare and they produced them for only a short time in Germany during the early 1930s) in one of those leaked gameplay videos.

I think this game visually looks absolutely fantastic but I'll probably wait to see more of the game before investing in a PS4... if I ever have money to invest in one.
