Ready At Dawn: A PlayStation 2nd Party No More

There was a time when Ready at Dawn was one of Sony's most-trusted second party partners. Now, it's owned outright by Facebook, it's PlayStation dev days now behind it. But where did this studio come from, how they did fall from grace, and what's happened since? This week, Dustin delves deep into the makers of The Order: 1886.

Damn, Dustin! That was really fucking good! Can we expect more deep dives in this style?

I’ll definitely resubscribe if this video is fake and Chris isn’t actually a racist https://mobile.twitter.com/raygunooc/status/1269584892259520513

This was a great video. Dustin and Matty are great additions. I still think you should rebrand the channel as Sacred Symbols. Sacred Symbols: Side Quest. I think it would increase views. Just one bald mans thought though.

Great video! Can’t wait to see more of these, I loved this game for its shortcomings. Really would have loved to see a fully fleshed out sequel that explored the cool world idea some more. Maybe one day.

Great video! I love random deep dives like this.

Dude, he’s just playing around. Stop trying to get everything canceled and have a sense of humor. It wasn’t said in a derogatory manner. Hell, he has a black friend with him! It’s just having fun, chill out.

A really well measured and thoughtful piece.

By all means leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

It's too bad what happened to The Order: 1886. Once I beat that game there was literally no reason to ever play it again, and that's a shame because the premise was neat. I believe had they spent a little while working on the AI, even linear it could have been a good game, but you got is this game where you had different guns each mission, the AI was atrocious especially with the Lycans, and the story and world lore were the only interesting aspects. Wont say I was upset knowing Ready At Dawn is now a VR only studio.

I am in the minority here but I loved The Order 1886. It was very short but hey not everything needs to be AC Odyssey. The World and lore Ready At Dawn presented had an exciting future and I’m sad we never got to see more of it.
