I was hoping for something more along the lines of Hunter the reckoning...
This sounds more like a Gears of War design.
Not sure how I feel about that... hype dwindling.

Most ridiculous thing I've read since the Xbox One used game policy on the Thursday before E3. Congrats!!

Stupid PR speak makes me concerned.
Not forcing itself to become open world, and advertising itself as action-adventure instead of a pure shooter make me more interested.

Pretty much this. In an interview during E3(think it was on the PS blog) they mentioned specifically that they were trying to do things you would normally only see in films, such as lenses and dirt. this isn't referring to the game is like a movie, that they want to use visual techniques you would only see in a movie.
Yup. Because they're usually imbalanced in one direction or t'other.
There's loads of open world on the next gen menu already at this point (which I'm looking forward to). I'm personally not gonna shit on this one just because it isn't. Might just bring balance to the force. Setting looks sweet.
A good IGN score don't come cheap.
Hear hear! I can only handle so many. Also, I love that they emphasized action adventure over the shooting mechanics.
So true. Ru is not even talking about the gameplay but rather the visual style they're aiming for. How the fuck people got "OMG Heavy Rain!?" from that, I don't really know.
Exactly what I thought.

dudebro my victorian dirigible is fucked up so i got to steam/punk you up 2: it's straight-up werewolf time.
Hey, I am actually enjoying Last of Us quite a bit, but it is repetitive as hell. Without the atmosphere and storytelling elements, it would be pretty damn mediocre.
From a pure gameplay standpoint, State of Decay is a FAR better recent "game" featuring zombies.
However, I enjoyed Heavy Rain too, so take it for what it's worth. Just depends on why you play games in the first place, I suppose. There's a place for interactive fiction, which it kind of sounds like The Order is closer to than a traditional game, and that's fine. But I'm not paying $60 for that kind of experience.

I vomited in my mouth a little at every sentence.
I liked their trailer as a piece of concept art, but if they're just going for another highly-directed linear one-and-done experience that restricts every player's experience to the same basic thing, then no thanks.

at least it's not an FPS. I'm struggling to get through dishonored and really wish they went tps with that one.
Indeed, cant wait for this game
Yup. Neogaf fails at reading comprehension as well as math.

Is he talking about?
Don't you like movies? Movies with shooting? Where you do the shooting and there are like lenses and shit, bro?
I would cream my pants for a new Nightmare Creatures.
Possibly with Rob Zombie at the soundtrack, again.

All of that sounds like really silly PR-speak that basically translates to "it's a shooter with lots of scripted sequences".
Meh.
Meh.

Yeah, they've already noted that the aspect ratio for the game is 2.40:1.

Isn't that how you could also describe Ryse?
Anyway, not sure how I feel about this. I thought the trailer looked decent enough, but to learn it's this is somewhat disappointing.

I feel a little bad for those guys actually, they have to pitch this game and they can't say, or show, anything at all.

Can I say that it is really cool to have a brown dude be the director of AAA game like this?

i have faith in the teams
That is exactly what their answer sounds like to me. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that's not what it will end up being but that is the message they're sending and it couldn't be more of a turn-off. This cinematic movement bullshit needs to stop, seriously.
I think the "filmic" example they gave are not so much a buzzword in this case.
It SEEMS like they're experimenting a bit, visually.

It's going to be a traditional action game with cutscenes and maybe some QTE's. Like games like TLOU and Uncharted and RE4 and Bayonetta.

lol no, SoD's community aspect is fun but the actual combat and shooting is ultra generic. TLOU kills it gameplay
Ouch!

Feel some are misinterpreting what they mean by filmic. They layer explain that they are trying to achieve new things with the in game camera that had not been dome before. Which to me is interesting as we all sort of take for granted the camera in games. So them trying new things with lenses and perspective should be interesting.
Of course I can understand where this sentiment is coming from when the only footage shown so far is a real time cutscene and now the word filmic is used. But alas I am optimistic and rather hang on the words "action/adventure with shooter elements"
edit: also I think linear has too much of a negative connotation. Most games are all linear. From Mario to Halo to Uncharted to Bayonetta etc all are linear games in that there is a point A of a level or story and a point B to arrive at regardless how you played the game to get there.

You guys are being too harsh. Basically he had to give a breakdown of the game without saying anything more than was in the trailer.. So basically "its an action adventure... with guns... oh and did you see the cool camera effects we used in the trailer. Thats all I can say"
That could mean anything depending on how vague he's being.
I appreciate the experiment, but I have more faith in someone like Kojima after that MGSV trailer rather than the developer that is "inspired" (imitating) by Naughty Dog and released a trailer that had no actual gameplay.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
I'm ok with this
Just be happy no one is working on a TVic experience.
