I think it's more of an action-adventure game than a generic shooter. I don't think I would be alone in saying that the shooting is actually the weakest aspect of those games. There are entire chapters in Uncharted games where you have no weapon or engage in no combat. I think the

So many threads. Anyway looks like Ryse of War: 1886 with Silent Hill fog and Doom 3 darkness
The preview seems rushed for Titanfall, The Order:1886 looks like a delay in the making, and I'm still wondering how they're using the wider resolution and black bars to add to the game. Because right now it looks like the game would lose just about nothing if it was full-screen instead.
QTEs, black bars, no multiplayer, and seems like a rushed project leads me to believe this game is worthy of a rental instead of $60, but time will tell. It does have fantastic character models though.

Looks like Gears + way more cutscenes and QTEs.
How do you know how many cutscenes and QTEs are in this game?

I just don't get people these days. Here's this absolutely beautiful game that apparently gets ripped on because it shares a thread with some of the greatest games of recent years. It's like when people dismiss TF as COD with mechs... as if that is something inherently bad.
I think it makes more sense here than in most other games, since they are so blatantly going for the "cinematic" bit. No better way to get to that than through some automation. And honestly, until we get full body VR there is no other way around that. Hopefully it still feels involved.

Amazing. A new graphical bar has been set.

This footage isn't real. It can't be. Maybe on PS5. Or, it's running on a 3,000 dollar PC in the background.
Impossible.

It's hilarious how the prompts like exactly like in Heavy Rain and the dots like in Beyond. But I like this type of interface, so I don't really care that they somewhat lifted it. Game looks stunning otherwise.

What broll. All I see is edited broll with commentary. Is there an unedited version somewhere in HQ?

QTE are kind shit, but this is very last of us in its approach to them
I thought we all loved last of us? you know.. cause it did everything just right.
I assume it will not be like shenmue or god of war and do them all the time, but be like last of us and do them now and again and just right.

This looks like the best next gen title announced so far. The graphics, the gameplay, just everything seems amazing. I can't wait to play this game. Pre-ordering this title was absolutely the right call. This is definitely the definitive Playstation 4 experience right here.
What? It looks good if we can judge by the quality of the video but we shouldn't overdo it right now.
The _gameplay_!? Is there another trailer hidden somewhere I don't know about?

Game looks amazing. The graphics are spectacular, even better than Killzone, and the atmosphere is spot on. Since the game is a third-person shooter, I wasn't expecting much change from a traditional TPS. Which by all means no problem for me, since the only TPS I played was the uncharted series, Gears series, Last of us, and a few others. So the game play is welcomed to me, and right now is pretty much a day one purchase. Can't wait to see more.
I would be disappointed if the clothes of the character start to react to bullets before the enemies do..

People are overhyping another game, big surprise.
If all you care about are graphics then I don't know what to say. The setting is interesting, but gameplay looks very stale and YET ANOTHER COVER BASED SHOOTER. I thought we had enough of these. At least if there's a Van Helsing-like plot with monsters it *might* be interesting, but so far I'm not impressed about the gameplay, as little as we've seen so far.

At work but seeing a lot of mixed reactions from gaf. Usual gaf extreme hyperbole or was the trailer underwhelming?

And you know it is a cover based shooter from a single shooting sequence?
This hand to hand combat section was longer. So with how your mind works, this could actually be a me lee combat crashing through roof simulation. Makes just as much sense.
You know, I feel sorry for RaD. This footage right here shouldn't have been released in the first place. Same thing with Infamous footage last week, what the hell is Sony doing?
It's basically 2 minutes of Galahad blasting through a small corridor, shooting dudes and taking covers plus a QTE sequence. That's not how you show off a game. I can record 2 minutes of Joel shooting dudes in a corridor and it would just be as bad without knowing much about what the game actually is.
Let the GIFs begin!
This gif cannot be quoted enough. I literally cannot stop watching it. (ctrl+mouse wheel doeas the magic)
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Linear third person story driven horror/action shooter with fucking mindblowing graphics and godly atmosphere. Day fucking 1.

I absolutely agree, but some of us (well, me) are pleased enough to see the visual fidelity. Something is better than nothing for me. Now that I am confident they can deliver the visuals they were hyping, I can wait until E3.

I think he is talking about Uncharted, The last of us, Beyond. You are treated as a spectator rather than player

It's like people don't learn or simply don't read about development. For example, Naughty Dog with Last of Us only started achieving the end product in the last 7 months or so.
I believe what RAD is trying to do with this game, is a game that blends many elements like cover, destruction, action, horror, story, etc and it's trying to carefully make the transition between these elements very seamless.
Probably not the kind of game that puts all of its efforts around a unique gameplay mechanic, and therefore it's understandable that at this point in time, they haven't yet glued it all together with the kind of polish they seek. They are more comfortable covering basics right now.
Either way you can't buy the game now, and it makes no sense to right off at this point when all you see are basics.

It's even sillier for people to say they're pre-ordering based on what they've seen in that clip. The over-the-top enthusiasm is more ridiculous than the cynicism. If the game has some kind of brand new play mechanic that will blow our minds, why not show THAT off instead of the tedious Gears of War cover combat?
The game seems to have nice atmosphere and we know absolutely nothing else about it. So where's the justification for all the "OH MY GOD MY HYPE BONER IS HUGE!!!!!" comments?

That also would just be hyperbolic as shit.
Though i also hope there won't be too many cutscenes. I want to play.

Maybe RAD was wanting to showcase the fact that the CG E3 trailer was actually not CG at all, and that is what the game actually looks like as you play? Then they wanted to showcase a TEASE of how the game will play. They of course are not going to showcase everything. Here they decided to showcase the smooth transitions between cutscenes and gameplay. Then showcase the insane physics / animations throughout an entire short action sequence and also showcase a bit of how the melee combat system might work, with you having the ability to utilize the environment during an otherwise standard cutscene-esque QTE combat sequence. Every other game it is the same each time, it looks like here depending on the environment you will have MANY ways to branch out the QTE sequence and change the overall outcome of the combat sequence.
This is a TEASER. They show you just a glimpse of the shooting. Did we see the special abilities of the weapons? Nope. Did we see things like grenades? Nope. Did we see that awesome tesla inspired gun from the E3 trailer? Nope. All we saw was a standard weapon being fired ... just a tease. Did we see the openness of the London environment? Nope. Did we see details about the " monsters " in the game? Nope.
This was just a taste, to wet some mouths. E3 will be the huge gameplay splash reveal with live demo's and whatnot.
What we do know now though is E3 was not CG. The cloth physics, environmental physics, etc. are the real deal. And that alone to me blows my mind.
Not yours, but you are not everyone. I'm certainly blown away. Seeing the reactions from the first pages, I see many other people blown away. I'm just not so freakin closed minded to think what we saw was everything the game had to offer.
I agree SO MUCH, except that actual gameplay wasn't even CLOSE to 2 minutes; it was like 10-20 seconds. This was not a good way to show the game off, and I do feel bad for RAD, because I give them the benefit of the doubt here with their pedigree.
But it didn't wet mouths. It made a lot of people more disappointed. They should have just released a trailer (not the trailer they ended up releasing since that was more like the Uncharted PS4 teaser), and skipped the gameplay until they're ready to blow minds with a great reveal.

I love how the game looks. Gorgeous, moody. Love the widescreen, and the grain, and the whole cinematic effect they got going on, with the 30 FPS and whatnot.
