Microsoft and Crytek released new details and screenshots about Ryse, their new game set in ancient Rome.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
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 was an Xbox One launch title that has been left to collect dust, but Crytek should set aside Crysis and give Ryse another shot.
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.
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.
Game was good enough, not great.
Graphically it was top notch. Still holds well till this day.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of August. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
This is not what I would call value for money spent. They give you quests in liveservice games to get you "re-engaged" with the monetization schemes or to get you hooked or so you at least spend some extra on skins and loot boxes. Then they dole out paltry points after you have already paid extra for whichever liveservice within a liveservice that you are already paying for. My worry is people can't actually be that stupid to fall for this, can they?
The trailer at E3 impressed me a lot, I've always liked the story about Rome. Definitely take it to the launch in the hope that it is a good title.
I don't understand the positivity towards this game. They showed off a QTE galore demo and the developers has described the game as "We have this concept we call mashing to mastery. The idea is that anyone can play it and they can mash the buttons and fight, but if you get the right timing you're able to actually master it" and it seems you don't need to get the buttons right from people playing the E3 demo
It is a good looking game but shouldn't we worry about the gameplay. I see people here hating QTEs and the description of "Mashing to mastery" doesn't exactly sound positive. What happened to games. It used to be gameplay over graphics but now this game highlights a common trend where it has gone the other way round
Lair all over again! A game that was made specifically for Kinect and at the last minute was changed. Mark my words this game will get panned universally for it's lousy gameplay. You can already tell!
was waiting for more info on Ryse. Don't know why people are complaining about button prompts, they're only for finishers.
Now I really hope they show off some of that coliseum multiplayer they were talking about, and some of the strategic things you can do with your squad.
The game just looks far to simplistic, the melee system does not seem fun at all.
I would have thought devs would have looked to games like chivalry for melee combat.
