The Order 1886 has been described as the best looking console game of all time but developer Ready at Dawn says players can expect significant improvements to how games look and play as the current generation progresses.
"I know that there's games coming out that are going to be so much better than the ones that we make even, visually," Ready at Dawn boss Ru Weerasuriya told VideoGamer.com. "This generation is going to be pretty sweet. I'm excited purely because of this and what I'm thinking is going to be next – what I know we're going to do next."
"I'm just excited because things are going to start looking better and better, and they're going to play better and we're going to be able to do every single type of game in this kind of visual fidelity."
Weerasuriya also admitted that some people believed The Order's graphics meant shallow, QTE-heavy gameplay but he insisted this was not the case. Ready at Dawn "didn't make this game as a QTE game".
"As a matter of fact, [QTEs are] sparse. I think people actually automatically assumed it was that kind of game maybe because of the way it looks. Games don't have to look bad to actually play well," he added. "For us, the visuals don't change whether you're playing full-blown gun combat to little QTE moments that are here and there."
The Order 1886 releases on Friday exclusively on PS4 and Weerisuriya recently defended the game's shortness.
