The Order 1886 [FEB 20 PS4] (Metacritic: 65)

[Fatboi1]

I gotta agree, the old build looks better. The new build looks good, but you can tell they scaled back a bit. Less detail in the background, less ornate armor, etc.

There isn't less armor, they're wearing completely different outfits. There was nothing "scaled back"

He's wearing that outfit with the armor around the shoulders in this gif which is from the beginning of the game. These are all from retail build.

Heck, look at this gif and look at the part where the guy hits the wall, it's much more debris and shyt going on. Look at the smoke effects that show before the guy walks into the frame with the gun. In the new one ther's much more smoke and it lasts longer.

Edit: Yup someone else said the same thing.

The second one obviously looks technically better. It's clearly a more muted look to match the time of day and tone of the mission, which people may subjectively dislike, but technically there's a lot going on that's improved. The smoke from the blast hitting the enemy looks way better, less obviously single large particles. There's more physics objects breaking apart as the enemy hits the ground. There's a volumetric fog filling the scene. The lighting looks softer, which matches the way light would interact in the environment and atmosphere. Subsurface scattering on faces looks better. And you can see a lighting glitch on Galahad, where it pops and darkens him a second or so after a camera cut, which isn't present in the retail version.

All they did was colourgrade the scenes to fit whatever mood they expected. They're not going for some bright Sunset Overdrive themes now .

surprise surprise

Nah, only thing someone can "prefer" in the old build is the more colorful scene. Technically, the newer build is improved. Check my post above.
One looks "gamey" while the other looks more realistic and cinematic like.

Those impressions are from regular ass posters that's been on there for a while. Sony employees that post over there aren't the ones that posted these impressions and they don't usually post like that either. They can't start spouting their impressions all willy nilly like that.

Breh I got a bridge to sell you

Shilling runs rampant at Neogaf

Shilling runs rampant over there even though just today a mod closed several order threads and specifically said that they don't want any threads being all positive??
Dudes that be "shilling" be getting banned left and right over there and I've seen it first hand from both sides. A dev posting on there isn't the same as some blind shill posting glowing impressions for unreleased games. Hell, the impressions I posted had a few critiques in there that sparked a bunch of discussion and that's something a shill wouldn't really do.

Things like that are only done to give a false appearance of them not being biased towards a game.

Trust me dude, if this game was multiplatform, there wouldn't be nearly as much commotion.

And if you still don't believe me, just take a look at some folks avatars. 9 times out of 10, if they have an article of something related to a company (example: beanies for Sony, M/L hats for Nintendo), that person is little more than an unpaid shil.

That's all speculation. The thing is, several people got the game and they've dropped their impressions already. More or less, it's silly to think someone can't be a little biased towards something. The couple of guys that dropped their impressions on the game have regular non company related avatars and an avatar doesn't mean anything. I got a Halo wall paper on my desktop right now, does that mean I'm some Halo stan?? It could be that someone just likes that particular pic.

Alot of shyt runs rampant over there including the lynch mob for this game.

Everything is damage control to y'all nikkas. If someone says this game is 11 minutes long and has a youtube video to go with it, anyone that refutes that is doing damage control.

Stop with this hyperhole. Any legit minor issue or complaint someone brings up, here comes you with a titangraph explaining why it can't possibly be along with post from faceless fakkits off neogaf(why you and others continue to believe anything from that hack weirdo site is beyond me)
