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

If it's well told, the game doesn't consiste of corridor shooting then i am fine with it. Not every game needs a sandbox open world The_Last_Ride

Suuuuuuuure you were.

Why wouldn't I be? The only console I'm getting is the PS4.

I believe you. I do.

I really really really really really really don't...

...I mean do!

Apparently I have to be impressed with all of sony's offerings to buy a PS4 right? The fanboy logic is amazing.

Wow great news. Linear games are usually better.

Now I'm not sure what to think about this game.

"We're trying to give people that similar sense of entertainment. Entertainment comes in big Hollywood blockbusters and small indie movies - it's that. Games don't do that enough. "

This kind of shit drives me nuts. If I wanted to watch a goddamn movie, That's what I'll do, I play games for a different type of experience.

Agreed, to a degree. Some of the screenshots had me thinking it looked open ended. Granted, I want more on PS4 than just that, but it being "Linear" is a little dissapointing.

It's not about one event following another. It's really about how the craft of making a movie is different from the craft of making a game. We are different as industries, but we have so much commonality. One gap we haven't bridged yet is that we create engines, cameras and lighting. All those things are done for the purpose of a game, in a very game centric way. We decided, okay, let's make the gameplay, but let's take the techniques we've seen in movies.

"Like lenses. How do lenses work? We felt we could build gameplay and at the same time build lenses that were real. In the engine, the lenses we shoot with I actually emulated from real lenses I've used to shoot photography. The guy who directs the game with me has done the same. He does cinematography. I do photography in my free time.

"Graphically it's not a question of making things look better because it's a new generation. It's not in how many polygons or how much better the fidelity is. It's those little techniques like chromatic aberration, like lens distortion.

"How do we build lighting and atmosphere around lighting? On movie sets lights are not just lights. They have a light, but they create with smoke or whatever an atmosphere to give this glow to the light that is kinda fake, but in movies you excuse it because you expect it and it's really cool. You're like, wow, that shot has so much depth. It's got atmosphere. It's got thickness. It's got grittiness. That was the stuff we wanted to bring to games.

"That's filmic."

 

TL;DR Version: He was talking about the presentation and atmosphere of the game.

Hype is building, hopefully it has the same level of atmosphere like Bioshock.

Ahh but enough gripe, I hope he can pull it off, but I'm very skeptical.

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.

Fair enough. I'm waiting for gameplay and a few more details, so I'm on the sidelines regardless. However, what the designer said vs. what people in this thread are saying are completely different things. Yeah, he would like to make a linear, story-based game; yet, the filmic part is dealing with factors such as presentation and atmosphere (lenses, shots, etc.).

We have plenty of open world games next gen it wouldn't hurt to hav a few linear ones. People complain about everything.

Blazed

Linear isn't a problem if the gameplay and level design are strong. The aspect that is worrisome is the developer's focus on story. That usually means the gameplay will suffer.

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

EXACTLY.

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

this.

Im not a fan of games that want to be movies

What a surprise :roll:

Oh dear.

Not for my taste. Is PlayStation really going in that route?

if its as great as uncharted and the last of us then it was be game of the year

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

Icarian

I'm absolutely fine with that, TLOU blew me away.

I just need to see gameplay before even thinking about getting hyped.

Who cares if it's linear and cinematic? Those types of games tell the best stories, and are often the most immersive. I'm sorry, but all games SHOULDN'T get Skyrim. Just like all games SHOULDN'T be linear. Don't hate on 1886 just because it's linear, please...it really shows how ignorant you are.
