Agreed stunning game,never understood the negativity it got. A franchise has to start somewhere this was the beginning introducing the characters backstory etc. Desperately needs a sequel where the developers can really exploit this potentially amazing IP. Oh and for examples sake look at Uncharted a brilliant game but Uncharted 2 took it to a whole new level. Given the chance the Order 1886 could be the same I'm sure.

Sequel please.

The Order: 1886 is still one of my favorite games of this console generation. Not once did I feel I was watching cutscenes more than playing the game.

I’ll never forget my experience the first time through. Gameplay was solid & good. Story was interesting & well presented thanks to the great cast of characters.

I really hope Sony allows R@D to do a sequel. Much could be improved & it could become a very successful & respected iP for Sony & Ready at Dawn. Possibly on PS5.

the first 3 hours are great then after the whole Blimp sequence this game falls off a cliff :(

Sequal please! So much potential!

I was disappointed when the vampires they teased didn't become enemies in the first game. A The Order 1887 with vampires as the main enemy wold have been cool.

Sony needs to realise the potential is there. And they are as much guilty for the game not meeting expectations. Back in a day, they needed exclusive more than anything else, especially with Microsoft launching halo5, quantum break and securing tomb raider exclusive the same year. So they pushed the order 1886 out of the gate, knowing full well the game lacked longevity, variety and pace.
It was Ready at dawn first original game and I think they have done an amazing job technically. I m sure they have learned a lot from it just like naughty dog, insomniac, guerilla and others have learned from their first game.
Especially when you realize their gaming experience was on handheld prior to that.

That is why I believe they deserve another shot at it.
They have created such a unique and gripping alternate universe.

I would love a sequel to this game, there were so many questions left unanswered.

Love this game,.. just don't like to be interrupted every 40 or so seconds and not being able to run all the time,.. Otherwise the gun-play is amazing,.. don't even mind the length,.. just don't cock block my movement to pad the game for no reason at all,.. yes it should be 2 times longer,.. but that is not the biggest problem,.. just let me run,.. if gamer wants to break his immersion by doing dumb shit,.. let him,.. you don't have to choreograph every damn thing.

it's a missed masterpiece, a good game with a lot of potential...
the werewolfs boss fights are bad tho

I got it for like £15.

For the price I paid I felt I got value, but I wouldn't of been happy shelling out £50/£60 day one. There just wasn't enough game there, the lore, the characters and the story I enjoyed, what little gunplay there was, was fun.

But I would of taken a graphics hit had it meant a more fleshed out experience. Something like TLOU, linear but not as linear.

A longer games, with actual combat (no qte) and actual stealth sections where even if your spotted its not game over, and it would of been better received.

Again I enjoyed the game, but I fully understand others complaints and believe they're justified.

A sequel is needed if anything to make up for the botched attempt of the first game.

All the ideas were set up perfectly but executed poorly in every way.

The only thing they did get right we're the graphics. Which is strange that R@D haven't invested in a game with the same type of graphics since The Order.

Yeah, I think this game got treated unfairly. I'm guessing because it was an early PS4 showpiece and there was so much hype surrounding it.

I too played it long after release and found it an enjoyable experience within a beautifully rendered world. It could have done with less QTE's, a bit more enemy and weapon variety, more combat mechanics/situations and been longer with a bit more story continuation. However, what was there was good and I definitely finished the game wanting a sequel. I enjoyed the lore very much.

The game was good up until the copy and pasted boss fights..... I'd love to have a sequel to this and to Heavenly Sword aka God of War for the ladies.

There are those that will never appreciate what devs do. I’d guarantee those that said it only lasted a few hours ripped through the campaign like a speed run and paid no mind to the story. What is the point? That’s like only reading the first paragraph of each chapter and complaining the book never made sense. Sure the game was short, but truly not much more so than half the games on the market. The Order was fantastic and deserves a sequel.

I bought it a couple of years ago on PSN for $10, but never got around to playing it until a couple of months ago. I really enjoyed it myself and I thought the setting was amazing. The graphics were great too, especially for a game this old. You'd usually see signs of aging when going back to older games, but this game still looks as good as games released this year. I really wanted to see a sequel as well

Played it last year, game was boring but I can see what could have been done in a sequel to get it to that next level.

i really did enjoy this game. was hoping a part 2

And still has the best photo mode of any game. Camera isn't tied to the character, so you can take it around the entire level and see undetailed areas, and NPC's doing things not intended for you to see. You can change to different filters, adjust film grain, vignette, brightness, lense glare and leave those changes on throughout gameplay. This game is graphically amazing, plays solid, music is fantastic, so is the voice acting. Hate was not warranted at all, and it deserves a sequel along side Driveclub and Days Gone.

I thought it was really good. The gameplay plays exactly like Gears. It got 10's but this didn't. Only bad thing was repetetive enemies and boss fights.

I like Ready at dawn. But the steampunk-era hype-a-thon that this game clung to was really all the traction it ever picked up. The game did nothing new unless you're going for that "with a twist" bs. It was basically a stuffy and simplified version of Uncharted with God of War quick time segments that made me want to punch the TV because they always came up at the worst times. The nonsense that this game was pushing to ps4 to the limits was unrealized potential, ego-stroking and marketing flex (sorry, but ready at dawn was never a benchmark standard). The publications that were pushing this drivel back in the ps4's infancy should also kicked squa in da nutz. The story and characters were trope-a-saurus-rex. This game offered NOTHING original other than a mash-up of gameplay and probably a dozen or more anime, horror and scifi movies/shows or even games you have seen before. Justly shunned.

60 frames .... dude... wow. :/ almost worthy enough to make a post about.

I’d love a sequel

I liked the setting, the story was interesting enough to grip me until the end, I enjoyed Grayson as the main lead, the ending set up more “supernatural” stuff which I’d have liked to see more of.

The game had plenty of flaws but similar to Days Gone it was a solid game as the foundation of a new franchise

I just wish the movement wasn’t Gears of War like and more like Uncharted, these guys are enhanced thanks to the Black Water so they shouldn’t have felt so sluggish and heavy, they should have been faster, more nimble, be able to climb with ease and the like.

This game still looks better than most of the stuff today. Not pushing this franchise on, was a big mistake from Sony. The story, the Characters had so much more to give.

I loved it, very linear game but mindblowing graphics and solid action, and a very creative vision on pseudo steam punk victorian age, it never deserved the brutal criticism it recieved.

The games graphics were impressive, but that's due to a few design choices like making the game set in a letterbox aspect ratio. 30 fps helped too, but back in the gen console gamers didn't mind 30 fps unlike this gen. The black bars are not using any resources for rendering. The devs said it's for cinematic effects, but that's bs

I still think there’s a place for eye-candy games. Not every dev can hit Baldur level reviews, but if one’s strength lies in other areas, have at ‘er.

Have Santa Monica make a meaty sequel

Showed that the ps4 was underutilized but most devs, spiderman 2018, horizon zero dawn and forbidden west looks great on it, Sony's studios be the main ones pushing hardware power 🔥

As a guy who bought this game physically and full price in 2015 and double dip it digitally years later.
No regrets at all I love the lore and care they put into this game to hell with the game being a bit short and shallow it suceeded in what it set out to achieve which is a very cinematic story driven 3rd person shooter.
I just fired it up on PS5 again last month and it still holds up visually and gunplay are pretty smooth and sounds great despite stuck at locked 30 fps.
The usual mob are at it again accused the PS4's lack of exclusive games releases a year earlier then The Order 1886 fell victim to those hungry mob ready to put any new Sony exclusive under microscopic the next month of course was another story with the arrival of Bloodborne finally shuts them up and slayed them beasts and the rest was history.

I think the overall reception being mixed was very appropriate for this game.

Most people, I think, would agree that it was the best looking game of the last generation. The level of polish and detail was uncanny.

Calling the gameplay shallow? I don't really agree. It was mundane and common for the genre. Nothing really stands out, but "shallow" isn't what I would say.

Game was super linear. R@D was clearly aiming for an emphasis (perhaps overemphasis) on narrative and cinematics. In this regard, absolute success.

The length was also criticized. I actually think the length was perfect. I didn't want to play this game for an extended period of time, honestly. It would have worn out its welcome for me if it was even 3 hours longer.

Game commanded a full price of $60. Looking at the production values, I get it.

Individually, these factors make good sense. Together? I can totally see why people took issue. You can see why the game was $60 given the quality, but you can debate whether it's "worth it" because it was still full price, short, and the gameplay was nothing special.

Personally, I got the game on sale for $12, I think ages ago. I didn't feel the full price sting, so take that as you will. It wasn't a terrible game by any stretch of the imagination, but I would love to see how people reviewed this game based on the price they bought it at.

I replayed it this year and enjoyed it.

Killzone on the PS4 was the same. Stunning visuals, rubbish game. But with The Order, it played decent. Another typical Sony game (running about games).

Excellent game! level on the blimp was a graphical master piece. Weapon design and art direction was amazing. Would buy a sequel. It's always good when a game ends and you want more of it.

My memory of this game was that the gunplay was the best I've experienced. I've not seen a single person ever mention this so it's probably just me. I just remember feeling the weight of the weapons, the sound engineering was amazing, each gun felt unique and different. Maybe it was the cinematic nature of it, but I don't think I experienced cover shooting as good before or since.

I feel that a lot of people pine over older games with nostalgia glasses but in this case, I do feel like the game was underrated and unfairly reviewed and Sony were too quick to write off the IP

Wasn't really memorable. But the graphics sure were impressive

Recycled werewolf boss fights aside, this game was pretty fantastic. The visuals, along with other PS4 exclusives like U4 and TLOU2, could pass for current gen titles. I loved it, the game had a narrative set against it before launch by someone with an early copy who tried to convince people it was 3 hours long and that spread like wildfire (similar to the TLOU2 leaks that claimed Abby was trans). The game took me roughly 8 hours on my first playthrough, not the longest, but it was a tight 8 hours in a time when open worlds were dominating with endless busywork. I personally don't believe length should factor into the scoring of a game (look at games like Journey) but that seemed to be the case.

It's a shame R@D never got to finish their story, Zuckerberg bought them so we'll never know.

It was a game that really showed that graphics are not everything. While the game looked gorgeous, everything else was poor. The gameplay was shallow, the enemy AI horrible, the characters bland and cliche, the story was basic community college at best. Ready at Dawn couldn't even make a comeback after this game.

It was definitely a lesson to be learned for all developers and potential developers when making triple A games.

Amazing, graphics, amazing world, amazing story and amazing gameplay!

In my opinion, just let down by the shortness of the story, would love a second entry

I remember getting this for like $3. To me the length wasn’t that bad I’ve played plenty of games that were entirely too long.
If you can tell a engaging story it’s worth it to me.
The problem with this game was the repetitive gameplay, lackluster boss encounters, overuse of qte, and bullet sponge enemies.

Needs a sequel and it would be great to have a PC port as well.

Victims of fabricated disappoinment. The amount of low reviews this game got from all these huge sites completely ruined RAD. If you actually played the game, despite the length which was more like 10 hours on hard, you would see those reviews were way off. Games that came after that were complete trash have gotten better scores than this. Too many developers have gone under due to negative reviews which were undeserved. This game and Driveclub will always be my reasons to never click on a single one of these sites, those and Evolve getting nearly perfect scores.

This game was amazing. Screw all these people who jumped on the hate wagon

Truth of the matter is that the game is not really all that good.

But it's got top-tier visuals, even to this day.

The franchise is Extremely salvageable though.

One of the great examples of poor game design.

Big potential in the world they crafted. To put it to bed and not do anything with it is such a waste.

The game sucked ass, plain and simple. The story would be interesting if it wasn't so boring. It only got good right before the credits rolled.

Great game, not without its faults but great story

Always wanted to play this game. It got way too much hate for its duration. Hellblade was short too and it's getting a sequel and so should this (if it's as good as I hear it).

I don’t understand this at all! The order was an awesome game and I wish they made a sequel!

Oh, snap! I loved The Order: 1886 and would love for a sequel, prequel, or another game in that universe. I really thought it was amazing back in the day as far as storytelling and even some gameplay mechanics are concerned. Not to mention, it was a powerhouse title visually speaking for the time.

Please! This is great news; they at least plan to hold on to it for the future. This game/world had so much potential just needed a sequel to iron out the creases.

This series needs another chance especially with the power of the PS5.

Obviously there's many things that need to improve upon from the first, if a 2nd one is to be made,like more gameplay and way longer story. Overall the first game wasn't a bad game many things that Ready at Dawn did good like the atmosphere and cinematic of the game.

So if a 2nd is in the works just look what worked and didn't work in the first and improve upon, there's a chance it get be hit.

Oh Hellz Yeah!

Please make it happen Sony. The ending of the first game left it wide open for a sequel. Loved the story and graphics as it was one of the more unique games of last gen.

This game did so much right, but was way too short. The foundation is there for an excellent franchise.

Loved the game, I hope the sequel is true

Loved that game. A sequel would be most welcome.

bought

I remember loving the graphics and style of the game.

Oh yes please, i loved the first and want to continue Sir Galahads journey.

This sounds promising, loved the first game it had so much more to give. Lets hope a PS5 sequel is in the works.

I really want this game to continue. There is SO much potential of the settings, story, characters. Platinumed 1886 and I would love to continue truly. I hope something may be in the works. Let another studio take a crack at it since Ready was bought by Facebook...oh wait I mean Meta.

This was a let down of a game. Was an alleyway duck and cover shooter with pretty graphics.
Run through an alleyway, spend 10mins killing waves of bad guys behind crates and repeat till the end.

This game was awesome

Im hoping they release a new game in the series. The Order:1886 was a pretty solid game, my only issue was that it was to short.

A lot of the forks on here are complaining about the campaign being too short. I found it to be about the same length as Unchartered two, in my book the perfect game. The graphics in the Order were absolutely spectacular for the time. However the gameplay was let down badly by dated mechanics which converged on being broken.

Please bring this series back, Sony!

Not to pour water on this, but the TM filing means absolutely nothing. They forgot to renew their original registration so needed to file a new application, its nothing more than portfolio management.

I would love to see a sequel as I purchased it day one and felt pretty good about the purchase on the way to earning my platinum, but this story doesn't make that any more likely.
