As a feature film succeeded! As disappointing Shooter!

"The Order 1886" is likely in many PS4 owners this year are on the wish list at the top, it is most probably the first really big title with hit potential. In the run game and developers have now however been heavily criticized, mainly because of the supposedly low season and the excessively high content of QuickTime Events and Cutscenen. I have it yesterday through and my opinion on Ready at Dawn`s Steampunk Shooter Victorian London, you experience a nutshell the following Pro / Contra test.

\\\ /// PRO

GRAPHICS:
Optical offers "The Order" great cinema and it is without question, without batting ifs and buts and without batting currently prettiest game for the PS4! The whole game is visually as a single cut scene and that's just awesome! I spare myself therefore to go into detail at this point and to praise the famous light / shadow effects, the almost photorealistic character models or in the wonderful scenery.

SOUND:
In addition to the optical, acoustic component is also true across the board. The German voice acting is well done and the soundscape fits in perfectly to the scenario.

ATMOSPHERE:
The atmosphere of "The Order" is the third major plus point. The backdrop design, the Victorian steampunk style, the clothes of the characters, the weapons design, the interiors of the buildings, much rather sombre ... everything here is tuned to the last detail and to the point!

But "The Order" is so beautiful audiovisual and atmospherically well, it's still a video game, and also happens to be a shooter. Compared to games like "Heavy Rain" or "Beyond", where you can make decisions, etc., is "The Order 1886" at heart, a 3rd person shooter Overlap, and such a person I would like to also play mainly, and not only watch and Pressing Buttons me the manufacturer specifies. Therefore, in the following the most important times for me points which give rise to three stars.

\\\ /// NEUTRAL

STORY:
The story is written Filmreif and also staged, but I felt all during the game as never really around, let alone brought to an end perfectly. Here some goes to potential whistle.

\\\ /// CONTRA

Playing time:
For the first round, I just almost 8 hours are required (incl. View of the scenes, not only by Rushen but sometimes look much, cutscenes, QuickTime etc. with events included). And that is for a pure single-player shooter and FULL PRICE TITLE just too little, especially if you subtract all around it once and only pure play content calculated. Who does not look so much, which is certainly much faster through.

REPLAYABILITY:
There is not any! Wars once and.

SCOPE:
Even that does not exist, because apart from the campaign "The Order" has nothing to offer. No Multiplayer, no split screen, no Koop, NOTHING!

QUICK TIME EVENTS & CUTSCENEN:
As nice as the Cutscenen are also made and so much the QuickTime deposits were also integrated appropriately into the game, it is sometime too much! You walk a few meters ... CUTSCENE ... you move through a shooter section ... CUTSCENE ... then you walk back a few meters ... ... CUTSCENE QUICKTIME EVENT .... shooter Section ... Quicktime ... then again CUTSCENE..dann opens one door ne ... CUTSCENE ... then again laufen..CUTSCENE ... and to the bitter end. And that's even if it was well staged, sometime just yet annoying.

TAKE my hand:
Correct bugs me also that a game anytime, anywhere takes the hand. The paths are clearly defined, strictly linear and every action happens exactly as intended by the programmers. Playful freedom? Wrong! Always and everywhere popping on any key symbols, making me the game then signals (because one of its own accord does not come on it) that can run an action: if I may open a door, can stare at a piece of paper, will pick up something from a Vorspurung may or hop on a wall or whatever. Even if I want in a surreptitious use kill an opponent from behind. That's not just like that, no, only needs a button popping into the picture, then one may as a player fine to go ahead. One hat as players simply no playful freedom and everything is going exactly according to script! You want to sneak? Kannste, if you are in the appropriate section on the go. You want to keep the weapon at the ready? Kannste when you're out in the appropriate section. You want to shoot? Kannste if you're traveling in a shot-section.

KI:
Most similar to a grouse-competitive and is only a means to an end.

Gameworld:
The is basically dead. One can interargieren with nothing, everything serves only to look beautiful. Even the objects that you can pick up (here's a photo, because even a newspaper article) are usually completely irrelevant and serve only the presentation.

The fly in the graphics SOUP:
So fantastic "The Order" also looks, it still lacks the game to details. The developers have saved, for example, the mirror image, because the main protagonist has none. A puddle migrate and evaluate? Goes nich! Looking into a mirror-window? Goes nich! In one section I am to be asked before a window with a lamp in her hand. The lamp was reflected in said window the character but lacked! Disappointing!

BEAM:
I'm just going to not warm! Although it is not so much bother as it was in "The Evil Within" and also the bars to the gameplay and cinematic staging were matched when one notices. They interfere especially in tight spaces, always a bit with the gun at the ready. The reason for the bar should be clear: performance and ARTWORK! Through the bars less space must be calculated, and only then should the graphic garment & Co. have been accomplished by the hardware. The us the makers want to sell the whole as a stylistic device and not just say "Hey, in full-screen that would so not have been possible", is the logical process, because no manufacturer in the world will already reveal the possible limits of the PS4, much less when you hear the PS4 manufacturers respectively works for this exclusive

\\\ /// CONCLUSIONS

"The Order 1886" can above all: Show what the PS4 is able. And this is quite big! Visually provide developers a real pearl from, and the sound atmosphere including votes on the board. However, "The Order" is still a game, and as such, it is quite disappointing. For a shooter you just get far too little shooter commanded, for a pure single-player full-price game for you get a lot of little game / season / volume and the replay value that would have been at least a little by different endings, or other elements can spice up, is equal to 0! 60-70 for output? NEVER! Unless you want to see what your PS4's performance technically capable. But this really is the meaning and purpose of a video game in 2015? In my eyes, NO! Given away a lot of potential ... 3 stars from my side.
