GameDynamo - "It seems that what designated AAA titles during this lengthy seventh generation of console games will extend to the next: spectacle. This is a predominant theme in one of the Xbox One's exclusive frontrunners, Ryse: Son of 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?
Ryse another must have Xbox One launch game.
this game impressed everyone at E3 and it wasn't even finished yet. Can't wait to see more at Gamescon.
MS firing double shotty's in the air and hitting the clouds! (POWAH!)
Good job guys!
Well, without getting into all the needless theatrics ... I'm still pretty excited for Ryse.
Then again, I'm excited for Knack too. Hate all you want. I know what I like, I have my own distinct tastes, etc.
"To that end, and continuing the theme of “spectacle,” each individual confrontation amounts to a bout of quick-time events."
"but there were instances when inputting the incorrect prompt still yielded the same devastating finishing move as a correct one."
The game is ridiculously gorgeous. But every hands on says the same thing. Hopefully a new demo at Gamescom will reveal more depth to the gameplay?
Graphically it looks nice from that crytek engine but as most people should know while crytek games look amazing they usually lack substance.
And from what I have seen and heard so far that pretty much proves it lacks substance as the gameplay isn't the greatest.
But things still have time to be ironed out.
reads like a preview of the old E3 demo.
