Ready at Dawn (TO1886) going for multiplat development

With the Austin office working on publishing, will Ready At Dawn self-publish its own titles, publisher other studios' games, or both?

Sams: It is our aspiration to own and publish our own titles and we have begun the process of exploring how we will achieve that goal. At the same time, we recognize the need to explore all options in front of us so that we make the right decision for our company, employees, and players. For the time being, we intend to focus on publishing our own games. To think about publishing other studio's games would be getting ahead of ourselves at this point.

Does Mr. Sams' appointment or the creation of a publishing arm change the studio's close relationship with Sony? Do you have plans for more games on non-Sony platforms [Ready At Dawn did the Wii port of Okami – ed.]?

Sams: We have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Sony. They are a great company with whom we have shared many successes over the years. As a result, it is hard to imagine not seeing our future games on one or more of the Sony platforms. At the same time, we have worked very hard to make sure that our engine and technology suite is multiplatform. What we did on the PS4 for The Order: 1886, we can also do today on Xbox One, PC, and on an additional unannounced platform.

So it seems RaD will be making multiplatform titles in teh future, though potential PS exclusives might arise.

Just please, make some games, not movies.

edit: Just to point out, The Order 1886 isn't necessarily dead, though it's extremely unlikely to have a sequel, prequel, etc.

Sony still owns the IP and can contract any developer to make a game with the property. It's simply very unlikely. For example, they own Demon's Souls but never had anyone make a sequel.

So, The Probably Last Order: 1886

Irrelevant developer is irrelevant and besides no one cares about their games

Lol... These guys suck at making games.

They will have the same fate as crytek.

Good riddance, I say.

Shit studio must have seen what DX12 can do. Jumps ship.

"and on an additional unannounced platform."

Nintendo NX?

the paralels are quite fitting

I quite enjoyed their work before they did The Order, so I'm not writing them off just like that. I'll wait and see what they'll be doing.

Oh noes!

Be afraid lems and hermits. Be very afraid.

Also the underlined is the NX? I do hope so.

@bobrossperm: i'll use a mod to autoplay the game while i watch with some popcorn

Apparently, they're making games for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and 'an additional unannounced platform.'

??????

It would be fitting alright. Too bad beyond that they also make a terrible movie.

Yeah, the funny thing is that the psp gow games are actually not that bad. If they use THAT talent and make a fun. AA/AAA style multiplatform hakc and slash action game, i'll be happy.

If their next game is as bad as the order, it won't matter how many platforms it's on, it still wont sell.

I'd rather it be Nintendo's console than some Amazon or Google effort.

They are a very talented studio comprised of people from Blizzard and Naughty Dog but their vision for The Order was completely fucked up. Hopefully they end up being successful with their next game because they seem like good guys.

Thankfully Sony cancelled the sequel to The Order and put the IP in the garbage. We'll never see another game in that franchise again.

Wow, Ready at Dawn is such a shitty Dev, Sony doesn't even want them to make exclusives for them anymore. lol. Too bad Sucker Punch isn't multiplat. I'd like to see Infamous on XB1, but SO will have to fill that superpower action hero game void until I buy a PS4 next year.

Thats a new direction for them.

Just earlier this year as late as February, right before The Order's launch (and honestly, the rumors were floating since its reveal at E32013), they were talking like they were in advanced stages of acquisition talks with Sony.

God damn, that Order flop really blindsided them. Meh, at least they still made the best God of War games in the franchise.

R.I.P 1886

Welcome to the big PC family.

Well said brother.

I wonder how many copies did 1886 manage to sell in the end ? Not too many considering how huge was the anti order campaign. Only the lazy didn't throw a kick at that game. Gamespot, Honest Trailer, Angry Joe and many others just destroyed that game. It was so funny to observe cows' meltdown.

@deadline-zero0: The best thing they can do is to just do DLC to tied up loss ends and Sony can't afford to waste money on another Order and DLC is best to finish up this shitty game. There vision was just stupid for a movie and even Angry Joe understand we want new games but nothing like Order.

Wait, didn't they say it was only possible on the 900pStation?

I've nothing to be afraid , shitty developers has no place between PC gamers

No thank you.

I guess I was one of the few who enjoyed their game

Hopefully they start making good games then.

More games for everyone to enjoy and by golly that's great!

disORDER Flopped on the precious PS4, I guess they need more profits.

Hope they make a game now.

Have you played the PSP GoW games? Or Daxter? They dont svck at making games they just svcked at making The Order

Hopefully they'll have better luck. The Order seemed like it was originally meant for PS Vita and Sony made them take it to the PS4(plus having help from sony Santa Monica, maybe to help with transition to PS4). Guess we will find out what RAD can do without Sony in the way...

All these people slagging em off and no Cows to defend them...

Well, you have to go pretty low to do it after TO1886.

It's like herms or lems defending Crytek after Crysis 3 and Ryse

I still have faith in the developer. Being The order was their first console game, I think they can take it and expand. Most devs have a game(s) that dont score well critically yet still go on.

They didn't have to make a great game for the term "exclusive" to sell it like hot cakes, but they couldn't even get that right. Once they go multiplatform, with a title like TO1886 under its belt, they're gonna have an even harder time making a name for themselves. They should just stick with The Order. They already have the assets for the IP already made, making sequels should be easier. Making new IPs will take more time.

Very glad Sony did not acquire this dev studio.

Wow can't believe the hate on here for them... they made a game that was average (some people actually liked it). It happens. Now people want them to go away... Damn gamers can be unforgiving.

Anyway, I see potential in them. I bet their next game will be a lot better. Hopefully on Xbone too.

Wonder if they were planning on doing it if the order sold well

They better keep their fake games away from NX. When that jewel launches I'm expecting games and not movies. Let Sony and PS4 keep them.

TO 1886 was bad as a movie too.

That's all good and all, but will we be able to see the graphics properly in future titles? or will they just be a blur as well? Will they have that sweet 30 fps cinematic judder as well?

guess the order didn't sell enough for sony to pick them up
