So Crytech's big 360 exclusive is an on-rail Kinect game?

Sunhammer5452d ago

You guys have to understand that Kinect can only handle a FPS if it's on rails. Something like, say, Crysis 2 or Killzone 3, would be too hardcore.

But nevertheless, I was actually looking forward to this. Crytek has finally disappointed me.

king dong5452d ago

indeed, what a disappointment.

juggulator5452d ago

Apparently this is the confirmed title of Codename:Kingdoms.

"Buh Buh codename kingdoms will show you all"

jahcure5452d ago

imma buy this game and headbutt everyone for the kill. I BET YOU that's a 200 point achievement right there. LOL

What you lookin at *headbutt*

MostJadedGamer5452d ago

So sad that something that looks so awesome, historic, gritty, and realistic ends with the revelation that it is a on-rail Kinect game.

Tachyon_Nova5452d ago

How do you know it is on rails from that trailer?

lelo2play5452d ago (Edited 5452d ago )

Most people were complaining that Kinect had no Hardcore titles... now one (or more) come along and they still complain... who the hell understands these guys.

Tachyon_Nova5452d ago

How do you know it is on rails?

MostJadedGamer5452d ago

I don't know. I was just going off what everybody else said. I guess I shouldn't believe everything I hear.

Well, we all thought this was a game for Core gamers, but it has just turned into another Casual on rails Kinect Title. :(

Im really bummed out about this, and dont even get me started on the On rails Fable game they just announced, or that broken down mess that is StarWars Kinect. That almost turned me into a Trekkie, and I hate Star Trek.

It's official, they truly are abandoning their Hardcore.

Rainstorm815452d ago

The star wars demo was truely painful to watch.....

Im such a huge star wars fan and i was hoping this game could convince me to get a Kinect for my 360 but it has done the complete opposite. MS has gone casual...

Its Sony's and Nintendo's show to lose.

There's fifteen ancient Rome games?

LG_Fox_Brazil1115d ago

Shadow of Rome was so freaking good

Sashamaz1114d ago

I'm still waiting for the sequel.

HyperMoused1114d 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.

crazyCoconuts1369d ago

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

Snookies121369d 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.

Crows901369d ago

It was a crytek game though

1nsomniac1369d ago (Edited 1369d 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.

fr0sty1369d 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.

crazyCoconuts1369d ago

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

VenomCarnage891369d 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.

ManMarmalade1369d ago (Edited 1369d 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.

annoyedgamer1369d 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.

gamer78041369d 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

moriarty18891369d ago

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

annoyedgamer1369d 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.

darthv721369d ago (Edited 1369d 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.

babadivad1369d ago

The game is automatically boosted on Series X

darthv721369d ago

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

lelo2play1369d ago

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

Crows901369d ago

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

MadLad1369d ago

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