Gotta say I've been highly impressed with what I've seen from this. I cannot wait to get it.

So are the Lycans not really evil or what? Or are they trying to take over the world?

Why are they at war with human rebels? Are the rebels pissed off about being preyed on by the Lycans?

Yea it seems like the Lycans are the dominant predators of the time, the Order is there to prevent them and other creatures from taking over

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I really hope the gameplay holds up to the look and potential story. No point in a game that is pretty or smart if it sucks to play.

I'm going to buy this game.. I'm just really hoping it doesn't play like Gears..

well they told the people that run twitch the the Lycans are just one of the half breed race's but they are concentrating on them for now story wise as they are the main problem. we will see other sub species that have split of humanity .

It has a cover system, that's prob as far as the similarities will go.

Gears had one of the best cover/shooting mechanics of last gen though, so playing like Gears would only be a positive

 

[zenith16]

there won't be chain saw gun fights. But this thing will have what was done in games before like max pain which was taken from movies like the matrix. which is one of the byproduct of a liquid they drink called balk water. it has more the one byproduct they they use it for.

Seven months is gonna be a long wait for this

Indeed it will.

If this game played as well as Gears of War, I'd be quite happy.

I can vouch that this game plays EXTREMELY well. I was lucky enough to attend E3 this year and got to play the London demo. This game is incredibly bad ass and highly immersive! The controls kind of disappear in your hands and you just feel like you're on a crazy thrill ride.

The visuals are nothing short of gorgeous. There were points where I honestly thought it was just a cinematic but it would always turn out that I was supposed to be playing. I think the only downside is, to an extent, the arsenal isn't your typical run of the mill type weapons. The thermite gun, if you try to use it like a machine gun, is a cover based weapon. People were complaining about it being inaccurate but that's not the purpose that it serves.

When people realized that, they were having a blast. The demo unfortunately didn't show anything new but it served it's purpose. You practically are watering at the mouth for more once The Order ripples onto the screen signifying the demo was complete.

Also, the folks at Ready At Dawn are such a great group of people. They're really passionate about this product and want it to be the best it possibly can be. They're not cutting corners with this and listening to some of the stories, it was awesome to hear the games development.

I think this game is going to deliver something truly memorable. They're keeping it close to the chest because they're all about player experience. I commend that approach because all too often publishers like to share the holy **** moments to get hype generated around their product.

I think they're being strategic with this game and saving the best for when we have our hands on the controller. All in all, I say keep your eyes on this title.

Why did that read like propaganda?

 

[HeyZeus]

I'll be getting this for sure.

Wonder how much they're paying him...

 

[Resistance61513]

Why did that read like propaganda?

I blame being around marketing people too long. You kind of pick up on buzz words and things like that. I assure you though, I have no affiliation with Ready At Dawn. haha Other than joining their ranks of fandom after meeting all of them.

I merely saw you guys were wondering how the game played and I thought I would chime in with my two cents. I'm genuinely excited for this game because to me it looks and feels different. I'm a big sucker for alternate history games after my run with Resistance. Since Insomniac is discontinuing that franchise, this looks to be my go-to to fill that void.

That seems like a suspiciously specific denial.

The visuals were not gorgeous because they had a 70 inch tv less than 6 inches from your face. All I saw when I played it at E3 was pixels.

Looks good, but I just don't know if it is all going to come together. Specifically, the gameplay. Like seeing some new weapons, and I love the shot of the airship.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

IDK, I think it looks f'ing incredible. Super jazzed for it.

I haven't seen one indication that the gameplay is of a RE4 level. What the director said about the gameplay taking a back seat to visuals and story didn't help.

I think gameplay wise, it'll be a generic third person shooter, but the visuals and hopefully story will set it above the rest.

Visuals and story are nice, but this is a game. For me, the gameplay is what sets the best from the rest. There is a reason RE4 still sells well a decade later.

Yea and I think for the most part thats always true. But sometimes story can truly pick up less than stellar gameplay. If the story and lore for the Order is put together well, repetitive or standard gameplay won't be as much of a hinderance. Now, if we get mundane gameplay, with a forgettable or ridiculous story, then we could be in trouble.
