Ryse: Son of Rome [XO]

The forehead looks pretty bad in that shot top screenshot with a clear line of where the dots end.

 

He's got facial hair in the top pic, good detail if in game model.

 

That's not what we call facial hair (which would be beard, mustache etc), it's "peach fuzz". Although there could be some more of it...

Damn impressive if they have it working in the game in real time.

 

They had something kinda like it in Crysis 3 on Psycho, but in much lower quality.

That's just good old stubble Peach fuzz is much more dense and softer, and it's also there on women.

So gooooood, impressive for launch title!!

 

Really impressive.

 

If this is indeed real time...then imo best looking existing game out there.

 

I watched and really enjoyed the video, very nice, very interesting.

 

Dang that looks insane. I wonder why they don't show any snow scenes?

Puts all PC games to shame...and at 900p to boot.

Can't wait to see the next vidoc not to mention the next XBO game to use this level of source art in conjunction with CryEngine.

Anyway I know not everyone likes MS for various reasons but damn you gotta admit when they put the right people behind a project the results are insane.

Wow, the skin (liver spots and all)... And the very diffuse shadow play on the old guys face.

And that chain on the necklace is definitely 3D there. (taking a potshot at the huge is it 2D or is it 3D necklace discussion earlier ).

I can't wait to see how UE4 is going to look (with Black Tusk and Fable) if Crytek can do this already with Ryse.

 

What do you guys think about about the video from today,bad framerate or just slow gameplay? Some screen tearing still there too.

I love the movies, but the reality of the MP...

 

You can't judge a game from a low quality video.

Better:







Source: 800MB+ video (1080p)

 

I actually hate the concept of this. The combat this is based on was real, people being killed and tortured for entertainment. Even though this is fictional representation, I can't disassociate from what really happened. Every cut and slice and kill and burn is matched with a real cut, slice, kill and burn that really happened - it's almost like a window on the events of 2000 years ago. Which was such a sick abomination, I don't really want to watch it.

This crosses the threshold for me. It's not like a war game with shooting being a mechanic and screams being a funny recording by a voice actor, and a clear moral (if questionable) basis in the combat. Nor like Assassin's Creed where a casual murder of a soldier is an extreme slapstick. This is in the realm of torture simulators, reenacting the worst of human behaviour for kicks.

The combat for the story I can understand and have no problem with, but the MP gladiator combat is in bad taste IMO.

 

I agree with you. My point is that Ryse is not that impressive in terms of gameplay graphics
