FORMAT: PS4 RELEASE: TBC 2015 RATING: CTC In addition to the RAD 4.0 engine, Ready at Dawn has created a new physics engine. Called ABEL, this allows for more realistic depictions of real-life materials and object compositions. What does this mean? Metal will behave like metal, balls will bounce realistically and items that are made up of many parts will also behave that way, particularly when destroyed. Wooden doors for instance, will begin as a singular solid object but shatter into chunks and splinters when shot or exploded. It’s all very impressive stuff! While many developers are shoehorning in multiplayer when it isn’t particularly needed (new Tomb Raider, I’m looking at you), Ready at Dawn are keeping The Order a solely single-player affair. While it’s possible they might create a multiplayer mode before the game’s release, their primary objective is giving The Order the best possible story it can have before any additional modes. PS4 owners, add this game to your list of games to keep an eye on. Written by Nick Getley www.stickytriggerentertainment.com
