Ryse: Son of Rome [XO]

Yeah when I saw it at e3 it honestly looked kinda boring to me.
Doubt it. We have too many examples of cutscenes being real-time, to be this rumor even true.
It feels like it carries with it some of its former self when it was going to be a Kinect game
We have lots of cut scenes that have been put out for PR purposes. We won't see the final result until release.

Hm...a bit surprised atm?!? Crytek typically makes good gameplay games imo...but this sounds a bit...um, not so good.
Ryse is/was(?) the reason for me atm to buy a X1...

Wow it looks gorgeous especially the environments..can't wait to play it myself. Anyway I could see where some people may not like this type of game but considering this is a Roman style sword based game I'm not sure what people were expecting? You're not going to get Soul Calibur style fighting in a Roman style game...period. The fighting mechanics look very good considering the limited scope of the genre. I'm glad they decided to make this type of game instead of yet another FPS. Best graphics I've seen so far in a game and the sword fighting really puts all other Western style sword fighters to shame. The fighting should be a challenge on maximum difficulty.
Just goes to show how clueless some review sites are and that's exactly why I rarely base my purchasing decision on reviews.
BTW I think I've watched those videos about 10 times already...truly gorgeous.
Crytek is definitely a force to be reckoned with going forward. Very glad they decided this path instead of current gen assets uprezzed...

Great graphics. I especially love the character reflections in the wet pavement though. Amazingly well done.

Cutscenes are just on another level, watch the first one, ocean is outstanding. Check also one that starts at 46:00
Also they confirmed that everything is in-engine, nothing is pre-rendered.

The polygon review sort of compared it to a rhythm game. Ryse then becomes kind of an elaborate version of Patapon ...

The game looks great.
Saving one of the videos -the 601MB- for later viewing anytime. It says the download is going to take 2 minutes in my 6MB connection. Did my ISP increased my connection speed? Weird...
All is not lost with Ryse. Ign liked it... they actually played it more than ten freaking minutes...

Well that's certainly good news for the franchise, but personally I always knew it wouldn't be as bad as some made it out to be just from simple observation. I think for the type of game and genre that it is, Crytek has done an incredible job overall...so thumbs up to them and since I've already got mine preordered they've got my support...and not just hand waving..:smile:
You're aware the other negative previews came from people who spent like 2 hours playing it, right?
Theres nothing that says that. But what they did say was they wanted to stop after the first ten minutes. Imagine a reviewer wanting to stop playing the last of us during the first ten minutes then saying the game is trash...
