The Order: 1886 Devs Adore Sony's Approach with the PS4

The Order: 1886 was undoubtedly one of the most unique and intriguing games revealed during Sony’s E3 press conference this year. And if a recent Game Informer interview with its developer Ready at Dawn is anything to go by, the alternate history exclusive is shaping up to be a must own title.

[zeee]

Man alive Sony's changed their game! Sony got all arrogant launching PS3 and then MS with their initial gaming lineup, a full year lead and cheaper entry price humbled them. Call MS whatever you want but competition played a huge role in what Sony's offering today.

Look at Sony now. Not only have they wooed the consumers (including some die-hard MS fans) but the developers too.

It's one thing to replace a CEO and fire a few people but changing your attitude, admitting that they did make mistakes with PS3 (Pricing, extremely basic online service at launch etc) and then working on those issues to bounce back, it takes guts and a lot of hard work.

One should give credit where it is due. MS with their performance this past current gen and SONY with their approach with PS4 and also their amazing performance with the PS3.

Gaming media on the other hand, well, they are a huge disappointment so far.

Very Well said Zee. An intelligent post explaining the breakdown of last Gen.

[ohiostatesman]

But Sony's financials haven't changed much. They continue to post losses including in their games division. Last quarter they lost nearly 10 million from games and 200 total for the company. Last 5 years they lost 5 billions dollars on PS3. More than all of Xbox.

[tagan8tr]

I just need the figures from 2yrs of fixing RROD to complete that finacial statement.

[Prime157]

Eh, I remember reading the ps3 ended up breaking even finally...

[JamieL]

@ Prime, in that year they broke even, but the PS3 as a whole has cost Sony billions. They never even recouped the initial investment from how I understand it. Live subscription revenue alone made more than the RROD cost them. From a gamers perspective Sony killed it this gen, a slow start, but they did learn and made adjustments to come back. From a business perspective MS killed Sony bad this gen, yes the PS3 ended up selling more overall units, but I promise that wasn’t much comfort for the shareholders. Like I said from a gamers perspective who care’s, but a business that doesn’t make PROFIT, won’t stay in business long.

Dont worry, PlayStation Domination is about to begin!

[Magicite]

AMEN!

[SpiralTear]

Man, I really want to play The Order: 1886. It's the game that convinced me to pre-order a PS4.

[Regis]

Yes it's the game that made me switch consoles as well.

[medman]

Man, postmesmeric and regis..as someone who owns a 360 and ps3, I can tell you for sure once games from developers like Naughty Dog, Guerilla, Sony Santa Monica, Quantic Dream, Media Molecule, etc.etc.etc. get hold of you, you'll wonder where you've been and why you didn't arrive here sooner.

[SpiralTear]

Um...thanks, but I own both a 360 and PS3. I was always in the loop. It's the game that convinced me to pre-order a PS4 as opposed to waiting till next year, not "switch consoles" or "move to Sony over Microsoft."

[GW212]

Ditto, I cancelled my X1 and went PS4 because of, among other things, this title.

[fenome]

I can't wait till they reveal gameplay!!

[s1lentone]

I hope they will show us some game play on nov 14. Kinda hyped for that now. /agree me if you have your fingers crossed like me lol.

[fenome]

Double post, guess I got a little too exited :D

[chito1016d]

Too many great exclusives like the order kept me from sticking with xbox.

[Relientk77]

Too many great exclusives like The Order made me stay with PlayStation

:)

[garos82]

And most importantly imo new ips.

This it's just the start! easy development on a relatively powerful machine with quite an increase in ram it's like the stars have aligned and a new generation of awe I is upon us

I'm calling it now.next gen with Sony will provide an unparalleled amount of new titles and ips like never before

[HaveAsandwich]

im out like sea trout. coming from pc, and the 360. ps4 + pc, all the way.

[boeso]

Dat Cerny

[soljah]

boeso WELL SAID
i think people are still underestimating just how much this man has influenced not only the ps4 but playstation and sony in general. i have heard in interviews that he began working on the ps4 back in 2007 right after the launch of the ps3. a new era indeed. greatness awaits.

[MizTv]

Sony just brings the games first

[Studio-YaMi]

SHOW US SOME GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE PLEASE!

I want to sleep(happy!) knowing the I have seen the game in action!

I would be even happier if they gave us a video like that KZ:Shadow Fall uncompressed video which showed AMAZING graphics and SMOOTH Frame-rate! :D

Then I can bare the wait for this game ...

[strickers]

The behind the scenes video has some glimpses of game footage.

[PsylentKiller]

Sony seems to have the games that remain timeless. I can play the Uncharted series over and over again. The Last of Us has the same effect. Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain are excellent graphic novels with a fair amount of replay value. Journey? Played it three times in as many weeks. God of War? Lost count how many times I beat those games. Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, Oddworld, LittleBigPlanet, the list goes on.
Now The Order: 1866 looks to continue with the tradition. When I finally get my PS4, this will be the game I buy first.

[medman]

Man, you're gonna miss Infamous Second Son? Destiny hits early next spring too, as well as Watch_Dogs, Ground Zeroes, and The Witcher 3. True, many of those are available for current gen, but once you witness what they're like for PS4, you're not going to want to play them anywhere else.

[PsylentKiller]

I'll miss infamous but I didn't care for the first two. But second son does look amazing. I'm getting an XB1 first but I just found out that I have PS+ for about 2 more years so I'm thinking about picking the PS4 up after Christmas.

[KiLLUMiNATi_89]

We havnt seen any gameplay from this game and people are excited ? Another hype PS exclusive on the rise, unproven.....

[iiwii]

Just watch this video on the history of ReadyAtDawn and you will see why everyone is excited:

http://www.gameinformer.com...

[Narutone66]

Ready at Dawn have people who were with Blizzard when it was making still making fantastic games. That says a lot about the talents in the company.

[strickers]

See above. The first trailer is cinematic but using game engine and fx.

[medman]

Killilluminati, Ready at Dawn, combined with Sony Santa Monica equals a win every time. A real gamer would know this. Next.

[Hicken]

Check his track record. He doesn't care. That it's got anything to do with Sony is all the reason he needs to say what he does.

[iiwii]

The Order, and Destiny are the two most wanted games on PS4 for me. I'll be playing KZ while waiting, but man I wish this was a day 1 title.

[Tripl3seis]

The wait is killing me I need some gameplay now!!!!

[310dodo]

I wasnt to excited when I saw the 1886 debut trailer.
After reading Game Informer issue on 1886.

I want this game day 1!!!
I am loving all that I hear and read about it.
