The Order: 1886 Hands-on Preview [Capsule Computers]

Zac Elawar of Capsule Computers writes:

"The Order: 1886 has been receiving a lot of flak since, well, first gameplay footage was shown. While the fluidity of the blending between cinematic and gameplay was what impressed me early on, others seemed to hate the apparent focus Ready at Dawn has placed on the cinematic element. Unfortunately, those opinions have only been validated ever since Sony started putting The Order: 1886 in the hands of gamers and press alike at the various expos throughout 2014. Now it was my turn to see for myself."

How old is that demo?

[OsirisBlack]

its rumored to be the same one they showed game informer in november 2013 so old build is old. It is at least E3 old.

[Viryu]

I'm starting to think this is the only setting throughout the whole game, no other environments exist >.>

[gamerfan0909]

The game is 4 months from release and they're STILL showing the same demo over and over again at every event?

[Ultr]

I think thats cool I dont want to be spoiled too much but I still want to see what Im getting :)

[Dirtnapstor]

Agreed. I don't want much of anything disclosing the story. I want my 1st go at this game to be untainted by anything. My 3rd most anticipated for 2015.

[TheWackyMan]

It's a bad game.

[ScottyHoss]

Have you played it?

[TheWackyMan]

Yes, and it's bad.

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

Looking at your comment is bad. In fact, it make my eyes hurt.

People expect every PS exclusive to be 9 or 10's and if they're not "they suck". I wonder why that is ?

[starchild]

I don't. I've owned every single console Sony has made and I know that some PS exclusives are amazing, some are good, some are decent, some are mediocre, and some are poor, just like any other kind of game. I'm realistic about it.

[fanboysmackdown]

Was really looking forward to this title but it's getting bad vibes from lots and lots of sites. But I'll reserve judgement til release though and R.A.D. still has a few months to get it right.....or not.

[OB1Biker]

Its not the first time articles talk about a guy from the Order getting hit and dragged to safety.. wonder if really they know what they talking about if you watch the vid demo

[Dirtnapstor]

RAD is going to pull a rabbit out of a hat. I think the mixed experiences may be deliberate to maintain the driving interest. This game will be boss... 2nd to Metal Gear.

[TheLordOfStuff]

Personally (and I could definitely be wrong) I think they just want people to see the game when they play it, now that may just be an optimistic assumption by me, but I personally don't like it when I keep getting to parts in a new game that I have already seen in previews and such, they just don't feel exciting, I already know what's going to happen/what things will look like.

So fingers crossed that I'm right, because this game has so much potential.

'Lafayette gets hit and the remaining trio work to drag him to safety'
Enlightening XD

[ZacE]

Wasn't supposed to be enlightening bud, just painting a picture for the order of events.

Hey guys, as mentioned, others at the show did the experience the same control issues, so it could have just been buggy. But still, for an old demo that has been shown for months and months now, you'd think they would have polished it to a certain point where it's completely playable. Especially considering how small of a slice it actually is.
