Ryse Developer Flythrough: The Haunted Swamps

Crytek shows you the spooky forest home of the barbarians.

4Sh0w4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

Ryse looking amazing as usual, X1 has a great launch lineup. Nov 22nd is going to be a awesome day.

aCasualGamer4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

True, Ryse looks amazing. One of the few nextgen titles that actually looks nextgen along with NBA2k14.

But i'm a bit worried about the gameplay. It looks too much like quick time events after quick time events with the character animations not blending in too well in crowded fights.

But the visuals are top notch, absolutely aweinspiring.

You gotta admit though, some part of me agrees with Fiestabrians comment. The fire does look ugly, completely takes you away from the immersion to see PS2/Xbox level of fire, doesn't look as nextgen as the entire game does.

JokesOnYou4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

nah the whole game looks amazing, nothing was "ugly" about the fire and it sure as hell didn't pull me out of the experience and the gameplay will be fine, a lot of previews really like the game and a few don't, not unlike most hack n slash type of games. More importantly the gameplay vids SHOW OFF FUN COMBAT but once again if anybody like Fiestabrian is looking to nitpick and fabricate something like "The fire looks terrible" out of a whole trailer that shows off what is really a visual stunning next gen game, I'm sure also people like him who want to hate the gameplay, I'm sure they will.

True_Samurai4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

I thought it looked nice... Just noticed this guy is really nitpicking about fire lmfao

christocolus4571d ago

really?..is that all you saw in the video?the fire? .....smh

Funantic14571d ago

That's all he could find. If it were on the PS4 he'd act like it was the burning bush Moses spoke to.

Saviour4571d ago

lol so u was just watching damn fire in all of this amazing trailer?

InTheLab4571d ago

Amazing might be stretching it.....did look good though.

Bigpappy4571d ago

Stop being so jealous, you got Battle field at 900p, KZ and Nack at 1080p.

I will bring you better footage of the dark Forest fire, when I am the first to ever return and I have ran fresh out of barbarians to slaughter.

Trekster_Gamer4571d ago

Fiesta.. Looking through troll colored glasses...

Don't care if I was a barbarian or not, I'd be worried about that burning man falling in the wrong direction: meaning on me.

There's fifteen ancient Rome games?

LG_Fox_Brazil1122d ago

Shadow of Rome was so freaking good

Sashamaz1121d ago

I'm still waiting for the sequel.

HyperMoused1121d ago

Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.

Ryse: Son of Rome Deserves a Second Shot

Ryse: Son of Rome was an Xbox One launch title that has been left to collect dust, but Crytek should set aside Crysis and give Ryse another shot.

It was a great game, it had issues but it can only go up from here.

crazyCoconuts1376d ago

It was just ok. Looked really good for an Xbox game though

Snookies121376d ago

"for an Xbox game"

Way to subtly throw shade there. It looked amazing compared to any game at the time it was released.

Never played it myself though, wasn't really interested in it personally. Plus it came at a time when I didn't own an Xbox console. But it was at least different than the usual copy/paste games we get. So I hope it gets another chance sometime soon.

Crows901376d ago

It was a crytek game though

1nsomniac1376d ago (Edited 1376d ago )

It was a stunning game on all basis. One of the standout games for Xbox as a whole. I ended up buying on pc as well… and yes nothing looked better than it in PC at the time either. Nothing just ok about it, definitely needs a sequel.

fr0sty1376d ago

@snookies12, don't pretend like the Xbox One didn't struggle with being gimpled by its tiny pool of ESRAM as a frame buffer. It was significantly weaker than the PS4.

crazyCoconuts1376d ago

Metacritic 60, user score 6.4. I'm not alone in putting it into the "ok" category...

VenomCarnage891376d ago

@snookies
Haven't played it but at least you know enough to defend Xbox over it. The game did look good, for an Xbox game. That's not some "subtle shade," it's full on reality.
I remember it being nearly the only graphically decent game on the Xbone for like the first two years after launch, and graphics were that games strength

I really enjoyed it. Bought it at launch even.

ManMarmalade1376d ago (Edited 1376d ago )

The qte's were disappointing though. God of war was doing it back in the ps2 days. As gorgeous as the game was, the gameplay needed to be updated.

annoyedgamer1377d ago

I really liked the original Ryse but Crytek doesn't have the funds. The mismanaged their properties and let EA raid them with Crysis for the duration of their relationship. Right now they are working on Crysis 4, I doubt they can spare resources to work on a Ryse sequel.

gamer78041376d ago

It would have to be funded by MS, I really liked Ryse sure it got repetitive but the setting visuals and story were good

moriarty18891376d ago

MS should have funded a sequel to Ryse and Sunset OD. Two good franchises they definitely needed last gen.

annoyedgamer1376d ago

MS is too busy trying to become the next EA, Ryse wont be on their list of titles to finance unless it gets a hipster makeover with lootboxes.

darthv721376d ago (Edited 1376d ago )

I recently bought it for the steamdeck and have to say... 60fps is a game changer. I really wished MS had gotten a one x patch or series boost mode option but sadly, nope. Other games that definitely deserve a second chance (esp on steamdeck/pc) are quantum break and sunset overdrive. Both deserved 60fps support on one x / series but you have to go to PC for that.

Rumor has it Crytek had plans for a Ryse 2 but due to the low turnout for XB (at the time) it was shelved. They really should give this another shot. i dont care if its multiplat on PS and XB and PC and Switch... just so long as part 2 gets made.

babadivad1376d ago

The game is automatically boosted on Series X

darthv721376d ago

sorry... but it's not. It still runs at the same fps the XBO did.

lelo2play1376d ago

Game was good enough, not great.
Graphically it was top notch. Still holds well till this day.

Crows901376d ago

It only needed more enemy variety and few more movesets or weapons to use. That would have made the experience tons better.

MadLad1376d ago

It was a good game.
Only time I saw quick time events actually make me feel engaged.
