Dallas: The time has finally come, the next-gen video game systems are about to launch. For the past few years, Microsoft has been working tirelessly on creating the best entertainment experience that a video game console can offer. When the Xbox 360 was launched in 2005, Hulu didn’t exist, broadband internet wasn’t the norm and only a small number of people had an HDTV. When the Xbox One launches in November, Microsoft will give us a video games console that not only plays some amazing looking games, but it will also act as a all-in-one hub for living room entertainment.
Before the Xbox One launches, I will go into more detail on the new Kinect 2.0 and other exciting features that will come with the Xbox One, but for now, I would like to focus on an upcoming Xbox One game that is being developed by Crytek and published by Microsoft.
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 pinnacle of next gen Graphics.
I don't really get it. It doesn't matter which system you like, respect the amount of work that goes into creating a entertaining experience. These guys are trying their best to make a unique experience and people dislike it because of the console it is on. Man get over yourself. If its not for you don't play it.
To the main article: ''Can't wait for this game!!!''
This game just looks fantastic, definitely on my to buy list.
I'm about sick of seeing this game. You can tell it has roots from the X360 development with some of the textures. Overall not seen too many impressive next gen games, but I still want KI and Forza on the XB1. PS4 probably will pick Madden 25 in November, and maybe Watch Dogs depending the comparison between the PC and PS4 version.
