The Order: 1886 developer Ready at Dawn has said that its goal for the upcoming action-adventure title was to ‘feel more real’ than any other video game it has created thus far.
Speaking to OPM UK, the studio’s Creative Director and CEO, Ru Weerasuriya, admitted that the California-based developer had underestimated during the game’s creation just how much work would be involved in achieving this.
“We wanted this game to feel more real than everything that had been done previously,” said Weerasuriya. “We had to build a different type of motion capture pipeline from the ground up. It was clear while the project was going on that we grossly underestimated the amount of work this would entail…”
He also revealed the secret behind The Order: 1886’s jaw-dropping visuals: “Magic beans,” he said with a grin.
Weerasuriya previously described PS4 as a ‘great platform‘ to work with. The Order: 1886 is due out exclusively on PlayStation 4 on February 20, 2015.
