While waiting for our own videos in a few hours, here is a gameplay video of The Order: 1886 that Sony just sent us. This one show a battle on a bridge!
That first lycan encounter left me speechless.
Granted, it's mostly 'Press X to win'-QTE's, but from a cinematic point of view this scene left nothing to be desired. Felt very satisfying to me just by watching.
@KORNdog - Agreed. The Order 1886's graphics is on the level of a CGI movie, while being in actual gameplay. What I've seen of Uncharted 4 thus far, can't compete with The Order visually....but Naughty Dog could always surprise us with a upgraded graphics build for Uncharted 4. We'll find out if this is the case....but I have a feeling, that will be in 2016. I see no indication Uncharted 4 will be released this year.

It looks impressive.
And it also simulates short-sightedness perfectly.
P.S. I am still waiting for a game that uses the "power of next gen" to improve on gameplay, not just visuals...
when has that ever really happened since we went 3D? i've accepted that new consoles = new graphics...nothing more. must be horrible being a critic and requiring gameplay innovation to get excited by a game. i just like games that do things well...originality died years ago.

Well, yeah it is horrible. That's why I do not own a new console yet.
I hate that devs don't even improve on destruction, AI or other things that might profit from more power.

Better hardware won't necessarily mean better AI. You have to know how to program for better AI first, and that isn't easy. I think the one thing I'd like to see over pretty much everything else at this point is better animation systems. Animation with AI built in, like the Euphoria engine. Last gen only had the power to utilize Euphoria at a fraction of it's capabilities. I'd like to see it in some upcoming games that take more advantage of that. In my opinion it is animation that is far behind everything else. Some games look almost real in a still frame. What lets you know it isn't at all real is when things start to move.
