In terms of visuals, "The Order 1886" is a title that exemplifies just how beautiful modern games can be, but the journey to the final product is hardly without hurdles. In an attempt to give some fans a look into how the title has achieved cinematic excellence in terms of sheer aesthetic appeal, the game's developers have released new behind-the-scenes footage and screenshots chronicling how it grew from start to finish.
Ready at Dawn released videos detailing how the Fire FX effects gradually transformed from the earlier points of development all the way up to how they eventually appeared in-game, according to Gear Nuke.
Also shown in the videos were brief glimpses into how the game looked all the way back in 2012.
The footage shows that even back in 2012, the game already boasted some pretty impressive graphics, according to Playstation Lifestyle.
The lighiting and texture shown in the videos and screenshots released of the game while it was in its development stage exhibits how the game's visuals were already being utilized to create the exact kind of environment needed for it.
In the videos, the game is also shown running at a frame rate above 30, but it appears as though the developers have chosen to lock the game in at 30 for the purposes of creating better visuals.
Visually, the game excels, but critics continue to harp on the less than stellar battle mechanics contained within, according to Express UK.
The game's AI in particular fails to mount any form of adversarial combat which could be considered challenging and the idea of having guns as advanced as they are within the game, located within the setting provided also takes a bit of a logical leap.
In the end, the game is beautiful as is evident even early on, and whether or not that means more to players is ultimately what will determine the success of "The Order 1886."
