A third person shooter is not exactly what I would call 'A Huge Commercial Risk'.
I think a game like Quantum Break is taking a much bigger risk as it will be the first game to incorperate an actual TV show with the game, and according to remedy, different choices you make in the game actually affect how the TV show episodes play out.To me, that is much more risky than something like The Order 1886 as it has never been done before.
The Order looks like a mix between Bioshock (with the wierd alterd history stuff), and Gears of War (with the 3rd person mechanics). Hope it turns out great, but all in all, I think that dudes shooting other dudes with lightning guns is a fairly safe route.
