Actors from The Order: 1886 discuss starring in an interactive Hollywood blockbuster

PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order: 1886 is the latest marquee video game with a story that could have come from your local cineplex.

Ready at Dawn’s third-person shooter presents itself as a movie — down to its letter-boxed presentation. Yet capturing its realistic character performances required an unconventional approach. To find out more about this process, I spoke with veteran actors Steve West and Alice Coulthard, along with creative director Ru Weerasuriya, who worked on The Order. They all gave me great insight on what it’s like to star in a game — that feels very much like a film.
