Ready at Dawn Using The Order: 1886 Engine for New Oculus Rift Title

VRFocus - Earlier in 2015 it was announced that Ready at Dawn, the studio behind this year’s PlayStation 4 exclusive, The Order: 1886, was working on a new project for the Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD). The news was announced during Oculus VR’s own pre-E3 press conference back in June, though the developer wasn’t yet ready to reveal its project. Said title still hasn’t been properly announced, but VRFocus has learned that it will be using Ready At Dawn’s own engine.

EXTREMELY interesting....

WeAreLegion3560d ago

Sweet. I really enjoyed The Order. I hope they port to PSVR. I'm getting an Oculus, too, but still. The more the merrier. The same with Insomniac's VR game. Why just Oculus?

jukins3560d ago

Games have to be 1080p/60fps for psvr at least.

WeAreLegion3560d ago

I feel like there was more to your comment...

TFJWM3560d ago

Actually all ps vr games will run at 120fps, never saw anything about them having to be 1080p thou...

nagalaga313560d ago

@TFJWM Games will run at 1080p at 120fps on an OLED display.

jukins3559d ago (Edited 3559d ago )

Games have to be 1080p/60fps then the psvr will double that. That's the basic requirement for psvr 1080p/60fps nit to mentice it has to specifically programmed for psvr. Just dont want people expecting Porta of games that don't meet the standards.

I'm imagining myself plugging in and sitting down for No Man's Sky and Dreams and never getting back up....

someOnecalled3560d ago

If its just ORift, you know everyone on here is gonna say ready at dawn suck, and the order wasn't all that like they always do. Typically PS fanboy shit. Hopefully this time they can make a decent game and not some slideshow benchmark.

ninsigma3560d ago

Very interesting! It would be awesome to have a VR game with that engine backing it! Whatever you say about the order, it's engine was awesome and made the game look incredible. I'd love to enjoy something like I did the order on a VR headset.

mep693560d ago

From what i've play so far of The Order i've enjoyed, i don't know why everyone was moaning about it. I welcome anything from this company :)

Double_O_Revan3560d ago

I just played and beat it the other day. I groaned at the first half of the game, but from chapter 9 & on I enjoyed it. It's just a shame it was so short.

medman3560d ago

I really liked The Order too...I would say the thing it was missing the most was more lore and backstory, especially for Igraine and Galahad. There is much more story to be told there, and it was a disappointment we didn't learn more about their history, connection, and how they came to be the Knights they are. The world of that game is so interesting, but they didn't give us enough of the story elements...still good fun though.

Sparta073560d ago

I wish them luck. I loved the order, don't care what anybody says.

S2Killinit3560d ago

Yup The Order was victim to a smear campaign that started a whole year prior to its release.

On poinnt: why arent they working on a PSVR version? Or is that going to be announced at one of the 2 remaining conferences? (:

The Order: 1886 Sequel Would Have Featured Larger-Scale Battles & Multiplayer

A sequel to Sony and Ready At Dawn's action-adventure game, The Order: 1886, would have featured larger-scale battles as well as multiplayer.

I missed it when games use to have a multiplayer to them.
Hope Sony revives the game at one point

KyRo26d ago

Killzone, Resistance, Uncharted, TLOU, Motorstorm. Great times. Its a shame how far they've fallen this generation

Muigi26d ago

Oh they still do…its just the whole game now 😂.

-Foxtrot26d ago

Why add multiplayer when the single player (despite enjoying it for what it was) had flaws?

You'd work out the issues with how you craft the single player then once you’ve perfected it do multiplayer after.

"Two sequels were planned for the franchise, The Order 1891 and The Order 1899. While the third game was never in development, Weerasuriya says he had planned where the story of the franchise was planned to go, if he had been able to develop the full trilogy."
...
Alas, we'll also might never get the PC version of 1886, which is currently residing in some dev's hard drive, nearly ready for a release if required.

Charal26d ago

It’s a shame we didn’t gave its chance to this franchise.
Game world was very interesting, and gameplay could have evolved to a major hit with sequels.
Not even speaking about graphics that were way ahead of their time.

Reaper22_26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

If "we" is sony, i agree. I liked the game but it was metacritic that contributed to it's death. It's a shame.

AshleeEmerson26d ago

No, we are "us," the gamers who rated it so low on Metacritic, hurting... Killing its sales. I agree it is a shame. I loved this game.

Charal26d ago

No it is not, it is us has a community which crucified this game, which is happening much too often.

CrimsonWing6926d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I think MP being co-op would’ve been awesome. Essentially, I always viewed this as Sony’s take on the Gears series.

However, it really failed to measure up to what I expected. I definitely saw the potential but there were some things that really bogged it down for me like the forced slow walking segments (which I know was to hide loading), the repetitive warehouse werewolf fights, not enough variety in enemies, oddly we fought more humans than Darkstalkers, and the stealth sections were infuriating.

One thing there’s no denying though, this damn game was a looker. Such a shame at the wasted potential.

The Order: 1886, a Ten Year Reunion

WTMG's Leo Faria: "After finally playing the now decade-old The Order: 1886, what do I think about it? Is it really worthy of all the hate it has received over the past decade? Or is it some kind of hidden gem? I honestly think it falls somewhere in the middle. I loved the setting, the story is initially fine, the combat isn’t half-bad, and the potential for some awesome world building was there. It was all bogged down by too much ambition against a tight deadline, as well as poor marketing. As a result, it’s short, full of plotholes, infested with QTEs, and not exactly memorable as a whole. As a game you can grab for less than ten bucks today, I absolutely think it’s worth checking out. It’s one hell of a wasted potential, but for such a discount, I had some fun with it, and I’m sure you will too."

Great setting, great graphics, even decent gun play, but what a trash of a game. The fuck were these people thinking? We could've had something like an Alan Wake 2 meets Mass Effect 2 style game. With investigations, creepy locations to uncover and explore, people to talk to and even recruit, clues to uncover and connect, monsters to slay, side quests to get lost in, and a more expansive lore to go with it.

Instead we got a shitty AAAAAAAAA Third Person Pew Pew snoozfest. Awesome.

_SilverHawk_123d ago

The order 1886 was one of the best games I played on ps4. Within a top 5 best ps4 games I'd put the last of us 2, the order 1886, days gone, horizon zero dawn and God of war.

SimpleSlave122d ago

"The order 1886 was one of the best games I played on ps4. Within a top 5 best ps4 games..."

Jesus H. Christ, bud. You just sound like a Sony apologist. What the fuck? Anyways. Good luck with that or whatever.

coolbeans123d ago

God. The "what could've been" you're describing would've been way better than just being the most empty cinematic shooter slop of that generation.

SimpleSlave122d ago

Right? I mean, I can understand people enjoying this thing ironically. Knowing that it sucks but still enjoying it for what it is. I get that. That's fine. We all have our guilty pleasure no doubt. But to come here and actually pretend that this is a top 5 PS4 game? Wow!

To pretend that this barely there game is anything more than an "empty cinematic shooter slop of that generation," as you said, is beyond ridiculous. But I guess Self-Awareness is some expensive ass DLC still.

Espangerish122d ago

I really enjoyed this game and also think it was one of the best PS4 games. It’s weird to me that this makes you so angry. I’m not a Sony fan at all by the way, very much pc player.

SimpleSlave122d ago

"and also think it was one of the best PS4 games"
"I’m not a Sony fan at all by the way, very much pc player."

Yeah, OK. You want to lie to yourself? You do you, bud. But like I said to the other Sony apologist, "good luck with that or whatever."

-Foxtrot122d ago

Jesus, it had some flaws but you're acting like it was unplayable.

It built a foundation, a rocky one but a sequel is where they could have refined things.

Personally my only issue is I feel like the "Gears of War" like over the shoulder gameplay, especially getting into cover and the like didn't really fit the game as much. In Gears you understand that kind of gameplay because they are wearing super heavy amour and guns but in the Order these guys are super human, they should feel more of a breeze to control, easily jumping over things and being allowed to climb whatever similar to Uncharted.

Im back again to simp for The Order, if ya like games well grounded in their reality with consistency in everything it does then I recommend it if ya haven't played it. Play it thru emulation or on your PS it don't matter just play it.

1nsomniac123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

A great game run down by the media for it's price vs length - Which was understandable, but it shouldn't of been the be all and end all.

At the right price this was a great game & deserved a sequel!

thorstein123d ago

Exactly. What a weird metric that suddenly was important and then, within a few months, no longer mattered.

andy85123d ago

I enjoyed this. I think the complaints were the length if I remember. Nothing wrong with a short good game, at least to physical copy owners 😅

Rebel_Scum123d ago

Put the thing on PS plus already!
