Ryse gets comic that is about as interactive as the game

It's not even a spoiler; the comic's website lists that as the description. Ryse: Son of Rome for when you just want to mash buttons and still win when you mash the wrong buttons, Ryse: Sword of Damocles for when you want to read a comic but don't know if you can make it through all 33 pages (a chunk of which are Xbox One and Forza ads), so we might as well summarize the first issue in one sentence just in case the reader gets bored halfway through or can't finish it for some reason.

Is this really promising for the game? I have no idea what direction Crytek are going but "Ryse: Son of Rome for when you just want to mash buttons and still win when you mash the wrong buttons" is an odd development aim. I have heard developers sacrificing gameplay for looks but this takes it a whole new level. I am hoping this game is better than this

edit: got it to work. What is with the One advert. If you are reading it surely you know about the One.

You don't need to practice. Practically, you're just a Roman badass that kill everything on your way.. with QTE.

If it's turn out the be a cinematic game, I just hope the story will good, but it's Crytek anyway, I'll keep my expectation low on that :/

It was a 360 game...for Kinect...

And now Microsoft is having Crytek shovel it onto the Xbox One while also changing the control scheme to something more traditional. You can tell by the game design that it was meant to be a camera game. Hold up your shields. Throw your infinite pilum. Slash your sword to engage QTEs. Etcetera.

Everything about it screams "Kinect game"

People are going to be really disappointed when the game hyped up as a traditional game turns out to have all of the limitations of a camera game.

JustPlay44681d ago

They should have kept it a Kinect game
it might have been fun and not make it what it is now.

A game you can not (just push a button) lose but you must master
well that kinda what they said

I found the comic interesting. Felt short, but I can see myself reading the next ones when they come out. I didn't buy it, so I have no complaints.

BattleTorn4684d ago

I can't view the Comic, off of the Xbox site

I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

DF
" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "

isarai452d ago

I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek

PrinceOfAnger450d ago

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex

JEECE449d ago

Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.

Crysis developer Crytek is the next studio hit by layoffs, as it announces it's set to lose an estimated 15 percent of its 400 employees.

RaidenBlack458d ago

Why'd the day start with such sad gaming news?
Absolutely disheartening.

Jingsing458d ago

Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)

Kassanova07458d ago

I'm always rooting for Crytek.

P_Bomb457d ago

I’m rooting for Crysis. Hope they work it out.
