The Order is going to be a linear, story-based "filmic" game inspired

So, exactly what kind of game is The Order: 1886?

Ru Weerasuriya: The Order is a third person action adventure with shooting mechanics. Its very much story-based its a linear story-based game. Were trying to tell a story. Its what we call a filmic experience.

Great, the one PS exclusive I was looking forward to is going to be trash like uncharted.

Why so many developer tries to do movies instead of games? 

Not a game for me, need to see more first.

Im fine with that... not all games can be open world. I was getting affraid next gen would be open world one after the other.

*hype cancelled*

still like the visuals, though.

Every game MUST be open world chapnzaba

Well duh, it's Santa Monica Studio and Ready at Dawn after all. :P

I think people do get hype way too fast before seeing gameplay.

Every game MUST be open world chapnzaba

I would go with 60% open world, 25% linear and 15% hybrid (some parts linear, others open)

If it ends up being great, what's the problem? Most of the console games are linear experiences with filmic qualities.

I don't see the problem. The GOW games from Santa Monica and Ready At Dawn were the same. And I thought they were excellent games.

Don't know about you guys, but I usually don't play video games for cinematic experiences. That's what films are for.drinkerofjuice

EXACTLY.

games for fun gameplay. good story is a plus, though, but not required.

When discussing your game, you should just avoid the word "linear" entirely.  It carries a negative connotation but many of the best/funnest games ever made are generally linear.  Halo:CE, Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2 - altering the structure/flow does not automatically a great game make. 

meh

Well UC1 and UC3 aren't very good in my book, and I have no issue with the game being linear either. I'm more annoyed about the stuff in the other part of my thread title.

you are right, but my personal opinion is that games like Half-Life would be even better if they were open world.

i'm all over this thread...

Yeah this was said near E3. It's old news. It's why I had no hype for this game at all. I hate games like these. Linearity isn't inherantly a bad thing, but when you throw in words like story driven and filmic, it usually means gameplay and level design are an afterthought to the developers.

from my experience with these types of games, whole chapters are sacrificed in the service of story. Take Uncharted 2 for example. Who could say that the museum heist, foreign village, ice cave, or any climbing portion in the game is good gameplay? Those parts are just there to serve the story and the game itself suffers greatly for it. I feel like this shouldn't happen in a game. It feels like really bad game design.

I think the only game that I hated because of linearity is DmC:dmc... well and the shitty combat... and the shitty story... well pretty much it was all trashy lol

But yeah, FFXIII is also really bad in terms of linearity (basically one huge line towards the end) and gameplay was dumb. There's nothing that indicates that The Order will be as bad though. The trailer gave me Gears of Wars vibe more than Uncharted too, so I dunno... wait for gameplay footage I guess.

trash like uncharted.GD1551

doesnt sound bad to me....

[QUOTE="GD1551"] trash like uncharted.Quaker-w00ts

Every console game is trash honestly.

[spoiler] I'm not being serious [/spoiler]

If it can be at least as open as The Last of Us then it should be fine.

A third person shooter....nteresting! It could be this gen's Gears and Uncharted. I hope it has coop modes and campaign.

good another AAA exclusive made by sony

[QUOTE="Pikminmaniac"]

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] I think level design in particular is much harder for these cinematic games. The devs want to handcraft unique levels throughout the entire game, which requires more thought than the "step into a room, kill all bad guys" kind of levels in a more "pure" game. I agree the core gameplay is usually not as good though. Sushiglutton

Yeah I understand that. I just feel like gameplay should be in the forfront because that's the aspect of gaming that makes this medium unique. That's just where I'm coming from.

Deosn't automatically make it a bad game, if the story is strong and the visuals as nice as the cinematics they've shown....uch who am I kidding :roll:
