I hope RAD gets their success. The order 1886 is my most anticipated game of this year. It would be great to see this turn into PS4 exclusive successful franchise.

Ready At Dawn: The Order ‘A Huge Commercial Risk’

The Order: 1886 is scheduled for release at some point in late 2014, despite very little information about the game being released up until now. We’re all hoping for some sort of E3 announcement, but the developers of the game are aware that the era and setting of the game could be polarizing. Ready At Dawn head, Ru Weerasuriya said in an interview:

We’re not talking about an obtuse indie oddity here – there are still men with guns, after all. But in contrast to its fellow next-gen peers The Order is still a huge commercial risk. What if people aren’t interested in neo-Victorian London? What if moustachioed knights carrying lightning guns doesn’t sell? There’s not much precedent within the industry to make your sales projections on.

Despite the worries, Ready At Dawn are still willing to take the risk. Weerasuriya said in PlayStation Magazine:

Early on we told ourselves that this is what we believe in, we have to do this right. I hope people attach to it.

Naughty Dog took a huge risk with The Last of Us, and it paid dividends for Sony and was a great experience for gamers. Let’s hope that The Order: 1886 can do the same!

Theres nothing risky about a shooter... aslong as you make a good game.

I think the Order looks different enough from the others to gain a space. It definitly looks like Sony's Gears of War... and to me it looks alot more interesting, if not only for not including all the american war clichés that Gears uses and i cant stand.

Not my kind of game though.

lol a dude bro shooter with typical cover shooter mechanic. SUCH RISK

Then I don't want to live on this planet anymore. :D

Because every shooter is a smash success right?

Not really interested in this honestly especially with no multiplayer

Fuze

Hope it works out for them.

The big thing they can make to innovate in this game is actually a good single player campaing with a good story!

The graphics will be amazing,the gameplay seems to be the typical "if it's not break,don't fixed!" third person shooter gameplay,so the story and character development is where the innovation could be.

Such unearned arrogance. If you don't think AAA new ips are risky, then I'd say you need to take a look at the dozens (over a 100 now?) studios that have closed since the start last generation.
