Nice looking

Thanks a lot DD_Bwest , one of the best thread I saw since a long time.

This is my most anticipated  game for 2014(2015?). I'm so hyped, so excited, and I really can't wait for Feb 18 and 19.  This game will blow me away. 

4xMSAA is crazily taxing. I am really curious about how the game looks now. Though I can't say I like the setting much, sci-fi elements and those big strange guns are a big turn off.

4xMSAA is great.

Bad aa in games is really annoying.

Not sure what to think of the 2.39:1 aspect ratio (I think). Looks amazing though.

Give me that 4xMSAA goodness!!!

The reveal that The Order: 1886 will most probably be rendered in 1920×800 resolution at a 2.40:1 aspect ratio seem to have bunched quite a few sets of underwear, with people rioting because the game is unlikely to touch the “magical” 1080p, and because of the black bands that many see as a waste of screen estate.

First of all, let’s get a misconception out of the way. Many read “800p” and think that the resolution is lower than the “900p” that lately seems to be very popular between developers. That’s untrue, because 1920×800 renders 1,536,000 pixels. 900p is 1600×900 and renders 1.440,000 pixels.

That said, Ready at Dawn specified that the panoramic 2.40:1 aspect ratio comes due to the artistic vision for the game, and it isn’t a matter of performance. The reason why that aspect ratio is often used in films is because it offers more room for detail on the horizontal plane, that tends to be a lot more relevant than  the vertical plane for the sake of storytelling and spatial awareness.

But how would The Order: 1886 look if it was rendered in 16:9? We ran a comparison to give you a clearer idea of what that means, and let you take your pick. Finding a clear cut solution that works for everyone is impossible, as this kind of choice is strongly colored by personal taste, but seeing both options side by side may help you decide what your pick would be.

Let’s start with screenshots. Of course you can click on each in order to open a full resolution version:

(A bunch of pictures,  rather than posting them all i suggest just going to the link.)

We already knew that the press embargo for the assets, previews and interviews of The Order: 1886 will drop on Tuesday, and now we managed to confirm exactly when.

Like with inFamous: Second Son and MLB 14: The Show this week, the gag order will be lifted at 10 AM EST, opening the floodgates to new gameplay footage and quite a lot of new information, previews and interviews done at two behind closed doors events in London and Santa Monica.

Are you excited? If you are, don’t forget to check out our comparison between the Order’s 2.40:1 aspect ratio and the usual 16:9.

So that means Polygon breaks the embargo at 7:50pm Monday night? ;)
