Can PS4's Graphics Look This Good? Blur Studio Gives us a Glimpse of the Future With Angel Stone

"A glimpse of what games in the future might look like."

[DarkOcelet]

Why not? The Order 1886 looks phenomenal on the PS4. I cant imagine how gorgeous the sequel will look like.

[StillGray]

Assuming there is a sequel.

[DarkZane]

I don't see why not, it sold incredibly well.

[MasterCornholio]

It sold well enough. So there will be a sequel especially since the developers planned it as a trilogy.

[OUROSMAG]

There will be.

[Rimeskeem]

Every single arrow is pointing to yes

[pivotplease]

Army of Two and Kane and Lynch had sequels. I feel like The Order definitely deserves one as well. Payday was a horrible game and then they had Payday 2 and it turned out to be pretty amazing albeit repetitive.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I think there will be and I also think it will be much better than the original. With all of the criticisms of the original, I think Ready at Dawn had a better idea of what direction the franchise needs to go in.

[TheTwelve]

There BETTER be a sequel with that *spoiler spoiler spoiler*

[UKmilitia]

i hope there is because i really enjoyed the 1st one.

[Blaze929]

@DarkZane numbers came out?

[MrSec84]

The game sold 600K copies in the 1st 24 hours, I think it'll sell a load, more than enough to make it worth Sony and RAD investing in a sequel.

The game's clearly been made to have a sequel with the kind of story it's got.

[Man_Marmalade]

What does a sequel have to do with this?

[BG11579]

Why not? The game sold well. They have already a nice engine to use. It would be a waste of money not to do so.

[PrinterMan]

There has GOT to be a sequel! The first game kind of dictated that there would be so if sales are decent then there should be one. I hope so as I loved the first one.

[MysticStrummer]

Yeah there will be a sequel. I'm glad because I enjoyed the first one and I hope they don't bow to much to the people who want The Order to be just like other games we already have. I don't need or want Uncharted:1887 or Gears of the Order. It's ok to be different, game developers!

[JWiLL552]

Head of RaD posted this on February 22:

"One more day of rest, then back to the grind... can't wait to return to my dark cave and get to work on "the future.""

Sequel is already being worked on :D

[Godmars290]

Thing is that the game was limited. Was more of a movie than a game.

I'd rather see something with more re-playability, more game features, than something that looks and plays out prettily.

[DarkOcelet]

Make the replay value as awesome as RE4 or Dead Space 2 and Profit...

[pivotplease]

Like another 2 hours added to the campaign, more gameplay compared to QTE and cutscenes, and some sturdy competitive multiplayer or co-op. That would be the ideal sequel.

[IrisHeart]

Yeah I too wanted a pretty Gears clone...I'll get part 3 after suckers fund the first 2 incomplete games. Win-win for me.

[die_fiend]

The people who made the Order said that there are games being made now that look much better than the Order graphically, so yes!

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

MAKE THAT A GAME PLEASE!!!

That looks like DMC meets Bayonetta.

[jim_panse]

your game can look like a diamond but if the rest is a turd its still a turd. not to say that every nice looking game will be bad but developers are more interested in making good looking games instead of making good games now a days

[DarXyde]

If you're talking about The Order, you should know that Ready at Dawn are a passionate bunch.

I'm confident they'll take the criticisms into deep consideration.

[Timesplitter14]

The author just found some CGI video and said "This is probably what games will look like". It's not even something Blur Studios said. He just pulled that statement out of his ass.

Why do people write articles like these?

If you want a true glimpse of the future of videogames, download Unreal Engine 4 and open the content examples. It's pretty mind-blowing

[DarkOcelet]

I am so glad UE4 is free right now. I will definitely try create a game there. Maybe a simple platformer at first but maybe later if i get a good team, i might make the game of my dreams.

[Timesplitter14]

If you're just starting out, you may want to consider Unity 5 instead. It's much, MUCH easier to work with. The graphics capabilities aren't quite on par with UE4, but they're pretty close. Also there are no royalties

Just a suggestion

[ninsigma]

I agree on Unity. It is such an easy and powerful tool. Does all the hard stuff for you so all you need to do is focus on your assets and how they work within the world.

[DarkOcelet]

I will definitely give it a try :)

[Tsar4ever01]

I read the article, and then read some of the comments hear, and I'm like, I know people aren't STILL falling for CGI screen shots and assuming it's gameplay Crap! I mean just look it!? Are people here really that stupid!?

[Pozzle]

And Angel Stone is being released on smartphones, so it's VERY unlikely that the gameplay will look like this.

[Timesplitter14]

(accidental double post)

[corroios]

well the order works and its not broken. They didnt send out a game broken on Christmas just to get the money from us...

[krypt1983]

what game did u buy that was broke on xmas delusional fanboy, you was prolly one of the fanboys who bought the $150 collectors edition, man thats alot of money for a polished turd oh well at least you can eat it...

[ninsigma]

Halo MCC, Drive club and Assassins Creed Unity come to mind.

Edit:

And while I agree the collectors edition wasn't really worth the extra cost, people can spend their money however they want, no need to call them names for it.

[Vengeance1138]

I really don't see how people can bash the order for being "more like a movie than a game" when MGS4 gets universal praise and does the exact same thing, very little gameplay in that one.

[memots]

yeah, Mgs4 was awesome but its true the gameplay bit were not very long or involved.

Still one of my fav game of last gen.

[OdieEsty]

I'm assuming you didn't play MGS4 because even without cutscenes the game runs about 7 hours if you're simply trying to get through, but there's a lot of complexity in MGS4's gameplay. You can go for a no kill run, a no alert run, a straight shooter or a more subversive title as various weapons have different effects on enemies emotions. There's also a multitude of unlockable weapons and camos that reward the player for using different playstyles. The Order has nothing like that, and skipping cutscenes drastically drops the simplistic gameplay to 4-5 hours, if that.

[Ninja_G_Aidan]

Big Boss Emblem: Complete game in under five hours, no kills, no rations, no alerts, no continues.
Took me about half a year to get that haha. Sniper Wolf was the hardest part.

[SmielmaN]

I'm pretty sure you can't skip cutscenes in The Order. So there isn't a possibility of completing that game in the time you listed. It would appear you never played it but feel you can comment on its quality. Strange. The Order is not a flawless gem, but it's a great foundation for a series that has potential. The comparison is to cinematic presentation, not gameplay length. I don't see the insistence on ppl like you needed to trash on a game. It's a quality game worth the price of admission and a easy Platinum. Ugh, this is why I try to stay out of comments now, it's just non stop trolling.

On Topic:
If that's the future graphics of gaming then we gamers have a lot to look forward to. Prob a couple yrs away from that though, but I would bet we see similar with current gen, might have black bars at the top and bottom tho. ;). Am I right? Do I win?

[MRMagoo123]

I finished MGS4 is under 5 hours so I suspect you are just trolling.

[Blurmobjet]

If the future of console gaming graphics at to look that good, I will be one happy camper!

(Btw, everyone please shut up about The Order. This article is about the future of gaming graphics and not about what developers do with the context of their games.

Frankly, you guys are just beating a dead horse with this Order debate. Move on.)

[pivotplease]

I agree. The horse has been beaten to a pulp. Conversely we were hearing about how Ryse was the best looking game for months despite how mediocre it was and despite the fact that Shadowfall already delivered photo-realistic graphics from a first person perspective (actually harder to do because of the closeness of many of the textures).

I think Uncharted 4 will raise the bar though while giving us the gameplay to match.

[Mega24]

Doubt it, Cinematic yes, real time gameplay looking like that would be a technical achievement.

[andrewer]

PS4's GPU is kinda good, the problem is its CPU...

[blakstarz]

Well.....take a look at The Order, that is a testament right there that the PS4 is NO JOKE!

And its not even in half its life cycle yet....so can you imagine what we will see 2-3 years from now?!?

And people keep talking about how the PC can blow the consoles out of the water....well no shit Sherlock, its upgradeable.

But no can't front on the looks of some of these games coming out on both consoles....they look incredible, no matter how thick your glasses are!

[OhMyGandhi]

Yes, the video looked interesting. but...Seriously people, the gigantic monster from hell vs a badass-without-a-sense of-humor routine is getting old. Not to sound like the jaded gamer that I probably am, but I feel that as technology gets better, we should start exploring other avenues of creativity as it pertains to game design.

[dillhole]

Every cliché in one video. A checklist to manipulate every sense of the 14 year old boy's brain.

Cleavage: check
Big monster: check
Parkour flips and spins in slo mo: check
Futuristic but vintage looking weapons: check
Might have seemed cool in the 90s: check

Well animated though, I can't fault that.

[Sketchy_Galore]

Brilliant from a tech standpoint but when it comes to making the actual games I really hope we start seeing less games that look like they were directed by Paul WS Anderson and more that look like they were directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

[OhMyGandhi]

if we had a character with even half the complexity of a Daniel Plainview, we'd be on the right path.

[Sketchy_Galore]

Agreed but honestly I'd settle for a few game characters with half the complexity of Dirk Diggler right now.

[skratchy]

Of course, you played The Order, right? I think I ended up filming an hour or two of it because I was blown away half the freaking time. The blood was the only thong that remotely bothered me. Why are lighting effects still so awkward on blood?

[NewShadow101]

@skratchy

I agree about the blood lol but I think The Last of Us did the best job with blood so far. It doesn't sparkle in the light and it runs off of the characters face like its suppose to when you get hit with a bat lol

[Bytor]

They should make that into a Dragons Lair game have it play just like the arcade version with a cool different death scene that jumps out at you because there are no Prompts and your not sure when you will die.

[Flames76]

All that is from a cutscene and though that looks great its nowhere near Quantum Break's in-game graphic's.Nice to see both console's really taking advantage of the power they have

[mysteryraz11]

order already looks better then this and ffxv or infamous ss too, and pcs specs are worthless devs arent gonna make games for high end pcs in mind specifially, all pc gets is multiplats exclusive wise console games will always look superior

[theFAYEsorceress]

idk, but that character is very pretty lolz

[WizzroSupreme]

I sure hope so, because this looks awesome.

[BlindMango]

It would be the pinnacle of graphical possibilities

...Then Anita Sarkeesian would make a video about the strong female character not wearing the type of clothing she wants her to wear, which obviously equals sexism and then make thousands off of $$$ it. lol

[tubers]

Probably not in Full HD (1920x1080) nor with the same amount of AA.
Maybe in a QTE event like TO and future PS4 GoW.

[Sitdown]

"Blur Studio gives us a glimpse of what the end-of-generation graphics on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One might look like--especially once developers manage to optimize their games for the systems as well as they did with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 a generation ago."

Wonder why the title just went with ps4.

[level 360]

Mighty impressed!

This game I think will fill the void left by Bayonetta.

I like the back story about the angel stones: ( http://www.vrworld.com/2015... ).

[TheRedButterfly]

This is representative of PS4's gameplay abilities if TMCC's cinematics are representative of XO gameplay abilities. https://youtu.be/8F7OgOCzph...

News Flash: They aren't.

[d_g]

DAT Graphics

[lex-1020]

Let's not forget it is still early in these consoles' lifespan. We didn't start seeing quality graphics and games on the PS3 and Xbox 360 until many years into their life cycle. Don't judge this generation too fast as it's just begun.

[Relientk77]

Can that be a game on PS4, that trailer was awesome

[filchron]

those were some cheesy ass animations and movements but the (CGI) graphics looked pretty cool. but remember when videogames had a thing called color? Dreamcast remembers. sega remembers..

[mogwaii]

Simple answer: No they wont.

[saukelover12]

that's one bad bitch,she needs to be added to the face of playstation family right next to Nathan Drake <3,lets get this game in the works for PS4
