Ryse Son of Rome: Another Gorgeous Looking Screen Released, Show Highly Detailed Character Model

Another gorgeous looking Ryse: Son of Rome screenshot in 1920X1080p has been released. By now it almost confirmed that Xbox One exclusive is one of the best looking next-generation game.

The development team at Crytek definitely deserve a pat on their back for this amazing work, now the only needs to be best for Ryse: Son of Rome is its gameplay, because success of a game doesn't entirely depend of visuals/graphics element alone.

aceitman3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

actual gameplay does not impress me like the cut scenes they showed off http://www.youtube.com/watc...

pedrof933834d ago

Yeah the actual gameplay seems ok with good lighting.

But nothing Woooow.

AngelicIceDiamond3834d ago

Hey Peddro what would you say if this was a PS4 exclusive?

Be honest no BS.

NewMonday3834d ago

all the screens are from cut-scenes actual real-time gameplay clips not impressive.

ShinMaster3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

Everyone seems to only care about this game's graphics. That's all they talk about. Polygon count downgrade, resolution, and whether the game looks better or worse now.

But no one seems to want to talk about the really bland gameplay and how the game is an upgraded version of Project Kingdoms on 360 for Kinect.

Fireseed3834d ago

Define "woooooow" gameplay. Or even give me an example of a game with "wooooow" gameplay.

GTgamer3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

@Angelic I'm a Sony Fan but will never downplay Shadow Complex,fable2, Gears2, Masseffect,L4D2 i love those games my best experience one the 360 you see if i see a problem with a game i voice it don't care who its from did it to uncharted 3 MP beta i was on twitter talking to the devs about problems i saw and i will voice the problem i see with ryse and that is gameplay as far as i see you only have one weapon set a sword/shield/spear and i don't see a upgrade system in sight for added depth maybe it dosen't need that but just hack and slash then hit finisher repedeately will just become repetitive if you cant switch things up that's my only problem with game other than that great graphics but graphics don't make a game (Crysis/Lair perfect example)

Too much awesome sauce for n4g?

-So fail it. Fixed.

-There are plenty more amazing gifs on several sites, heres a awesome one for those interested:

-Daayumm and they say games are not art, BS. Its a great time to be a gamer.

FlameHawk3834d ago

@Jokes, they failed it because it was just a gif of a video they showed like 2 days ago.

JokesOnYou3834d ago

Flamehawk well nothing unusual about 1st having a game trailer released then a news thread with pics/gifs from the same trailer lol, actually this pic us no different than the one of the previous gifs from the failed news....but its all good just wondering.

LonChaneyTV3834d ago

"Yeah the actual gameplay seems ok with good lighting.

But nothing Woooow."

That's the price of trying to be realistic to the time period. Everything in Ryse is just about by the book, from weapons to maneuvers and battle formations, and so forth.

The real life soldiers weren't trying to be hollywood or inspired by Japaneses sword art. if you look at roman weaponry they're very short and their tactics were straight to the point.

have a look for yourself on how they fought. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

ZodTheRipper3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

First it was gifs, now it's one screenshot from Ryse per article... slow news week or what is going on?

FamilyGuy3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

Wow, super bullshot, I could swear Crytek said they didn't have LoD in Ryse yet Marius is back there looking all low quality while the front man looks like a PC tech demo.

It's definitely impressive but it's a cut scene, show me a game play trailer with any character that looks like that on the X1.

So in review:
The picture is REALLY nice, looks HUMAN! Amazing
The picture is pure bullshot.

Marius looks like he's in a completely different game than this front and centered guy. Still not a fan of his face, he looks kin to a gargoyle. That other top soldier dude should've been Marius's character model.

LonChaneyTV3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

I find it interesting about disagrees in this thread. it's blatantly obvious.

Troll - In my honest opinion "insert troll explanation", no harm done blabla that is the truth.

the other day Quantum break went through this too.

Troll - Oh, that game is not even real, blabla bla. It was may by some anonymous dudes who made Alan wake lolz. "goes back and plays max payne 3 and GTA5 on their ps3s" "rockstar is awesome ftw!!!"

pffffff, hypocrisy!!

loulou3834d ago

lol Jokes. pathetic isn't it!! nice to see some proof from time-to-time of just how bias and bad certain mods are on here.

and who would have thought it. newmonday and pedro in an xbox one tread downplaying?? surely my eyes deceive me?

lol ryse just keeps getting better and better. the salt on the net at the moment is incredible. day one edition has been on pre-order since the begining

thekhurg3834d ago

The fact it's a 1080p image when the game itself is only 900p should speak volumes for how doctored Crytek is making this game appear in marketing.

NewMonday3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

@LonChaneyTV

if Crytech are trying to have realistic gameplay, they failed

if they are trying to be fun, they failed.

@JokesOnYou

another unplayable cut-scene

Freedomland3834d ago

Is gamepur.com an official X1 site?

This Pandora will open on Nov 22, don't worry.

BBBirdistheWord3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

@ jokes

Yeah disappointing that a mod has sought to fail this story after the N4G community approved it. These gifs provided a useful snapshot and additional distillation of the most recent trailer. The Gifs certainly provided further insight into this game and appeared to garner useful discussion and exposure to next gen gameplay.

Sometimes I think there are overzealous mods on this site that have an agenda, and that's ok because we are all human and we all make mistakes.

The problem is that these apparently overzealous mods are financially remunerated and on a news aggregator like n4g they may have inordinate powers of moderation that can affect real community perception and exposure to industry news.

Such power should not be taken lightly, especially if news stories that are already approved by the n4g community are failed as a result of one particular (possibly malicious) moderator's bias and personal whim.

I just hope the head honchos (such as CAT) on N4g are aware that some of the moderators seem to have a pro ps4 and anti-xboxone bias on here.

It may help for a number of us to PM Cat (the network administrator)and make her aware of this issue. I am sure she is very busy and not able to keep tabs on all of the mods, all of the time, which is understandable. She will likely appreciate any user grievances brought to her attention, especially with regard to potentially toxic remunerated staff.

Here are her contact details. Let's see if we can restore some balance to N4g, by letting her know. It seems a fair and reasonable thing to do, given these unbalanced circumstances!
http://n4g.com/user/home/ca...

Hopefully this makes N4g a better place for all of its users.

NewMonday3834d ago

@BBBirdistheWord

the only safe place from XB1 criticism are the official XBox forums, maybe you will feel more comfortable over there.

BBBirdistheWord3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

@ newmonday

Sorry fella.

You have missed the point.
I welcome discussion on n4g whether it be ps4 criticism or xbox criticism or Wii criticism or PC criticism.

What I can't stomach are double standards.
This is not a ps4 site. This is a news aggregation site for all platforms.

Please don't obfuscate the issue with a bogstandard strawman argument.

The issue I have identified is a real issue of bias and selective censorship. It has been identified by numerous other users on here and the failed article is a prime example.

Directing users to other forums (as you did) doesn't solve the issue. In fact it compounds the issue.

I am glad this has been brought to the fore. Hopefully the head honchos will now pay attention and clean this place up.

Newmonday, instead of pithy replies, why not try to help solve the identified issue?
You could even PM Cat and give your point of view... Unless you are part of the underlying problem?

Computersaysno3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

The shot has near perfect image quality.

That only means one thing, doctored shots. Sorry but it does. Allied to the fact the shot appears to be 1080p and not 900p. Remember the Driveclub and Forza 5 shots? You could see aliasing. You could spot slight defects. Thats normal. This isn't and those are both 1080p as well!

I am sure they'll claim the assets are in game and such but you don't get utterly 100 percent perfect image quality on 2560 x 1440p PC games with 8x MSAA.

Lets see the gameplay properly rather than one off shots quite clearly not gameplay.

NewMonday3834d ago

@BBBirdistheWord

this failed..

http://n4g.com/news/1376839...

maybe you should look at the submission rules

IcicleTrepan3834d ago

@ all the dumbasses

Yes, it IS 1080p. It's 900p internally and then upscaled to 1080p by the Xbox One. What it's not is 1080p native.

So now we can all STFU about it.

JokesOnYou3834d ago

BBBirdistheWord,loulou yeah so it was not just me who noticed. This is a great siye when utilized properly. I just like to see the standards applied fairly across the board.

Belking3834d ago

That's because it's exclusive. If this title was exclusive to the other console the comments would be different.

aceitman3834d ago

@IcicleTrepan before u call people dumbasses u should look in the mirror and also learn the difference (read) between full 1080p and up scaled 1080p this is a sample. http://wccftech.com/differe... it is native 900p and up scaled to 1080p. that is it u can say it 5 ways till sunday but u say its 1080p like it is when its not . upscaled is upscaled 900 p is 900p not 1080p. I don't care if u say its not 1080p native its 1080p upscaled we are talking raw numbers . so ryse is not 1080p period straight from the devs mouth http://www.vg247.com/2013/0...

UltimateMaster3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

This game was far more impressive at E3 with the 150k polygons than the current 85k polygons.

Who cares about CG video cut scene that aren't actual game play?

Here's how it was supposed to look:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Here's how it will look on Xbox One:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

If you can't see the significant drop, I sure can.
The videos look exactly alike, but it's a CG video and it's no longer game play.

It's like comparing old gen VS new gen except this is "supposed" to be new gen.
PS3: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Shake_Zula3833d ago (Edited 3833d ago )

Graphically it seems ok, and it seems to be more realistic gameplay than anything else (God of War is fun, but people can't move like that! lol). So as long as they keep up with dynamic gameplay rather than button mashing or combo hacks, and execute a gripping story, I'll be happy.
I mean, I'm getting a PS4 on launch complete with KZ, but I'm hoping that this game pans out be one of the greats as well.

Cut scenes always look better especially because those are the scenes where gamers stare at the character models the most game play and most certainly i the case of an action game is faced paced and gamers aren't going to stare at marius's face all day while barbarians are all over the place and he's running and stabbing.

trywizardo3834d ago

adorie3834d ago

IQ looks really good up close. This looks like a cutscene, but in-engine. dat lips.

AbortMission3834d ago

The game sucks. Period. It's not even the fact that it's an X1 game but because 1) it's a Crytek game and 2) it started development with the kinnect.

But of course, here come the delusional Xbox fanbabies claiming that the X1 has "better looking games" than the PS4 (even though the X1 has had way more compromises than the PS4 and the PS4 has more 1080p games Lol)

mhunterjr3834d ago

Please explain how the fact that it started as a kinect game has any affect on the end result. They scrapped the idea and moved on years ago. Why can't you?

IcicleTrepan3834d ago

So you've played it then? Of course not which means your opinion amounts to one man's whisper in a hurricane.

webeblazing3834d ago

im nobody in this article even said that. your trying to hard

kiz26943834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

I completely agree with ShinMaster, the graphics are good, but gameplay looks so dumb and boring, reminds of an old ps2 game i played called "Spartan" somehting something, it had pretty much everything this has, but not the graphics, oh and that game suck balls :P

found a video of the game i mentioned, it actually looks more fun than Ryse does by far, much more arcade hack and slash feel

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Deathdeliverer3834d ago

Can't help but agree. Hopefully there is a day 1 demo. Otherwise I might have to find someone to borrow it off of. Maybe the first game I rent in over 12 years. Looks like it will be fun until about 2 hrs in. Then you will hit that "Damn this is monotonous, but I will push through just to see the ending so I can trade it in" level. Dead Rising might not look nearly as good but I can imagine a ton more fun and lasting appeal with the items and gameplay. Dead Rising Day 1 for me.

Magicite3834d ago

Skin/face looks really great, but armor/helmet looks kinda weird, like its not from metal. Maybe its just me.

ambientFLIER3834d ago

I bet the HATERS will be out in full FORCE to Denounce The Glory that is Ryse Son of Rome!

RsoR is the Talk of the Console Gaming World right now. Hate it or Love it Consolers are ALL about Ryse.

I think the game looks good and I can't wait to play it.

I've been playing Chivalry Medievial Warfare on the PC and it's good to see the consoles get something similar to CMW in the form of Rsye.

Let the HATING Begin!!

I sure he was trying to lighten up the mood

ShinMaster3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

Apparently, people are only concerned with this game's looks. Always talking about whether the graphics technically got worse or not and the resolution and frame rate or polygon count was downgraded.

But no one seems to want to talk about the bland gameplay and how the game is an upgraded version of Project Kingdoms on 360 for Kinect.

MrSwankSinatra3833d ago

well lets be honest here crytek has never been known for making games with good gameplay, they've always been known for pushing the benchmark with graphics. crytek games are more used as a way for people to benchmark their gaming rigs than to be actually played.

IRetrouk3834d ago

To be honest i said from the start it looked repetitive, i mean it looks really good, there is no saying it dont but nothing about this game has got me wanting it, that dosnt make me a hater, now if you want to talk about the new forza and need for speed hit me up, forza 5 alone has me wanting the one.

ATi_Elite3834d ago

Sorry Bro I'm playing Project CARS and no other Racing game has my attention.

GT6 Forza5 Driveclub NFS all look the same to me (YES I know they are different) after playing ProjectCARS! Actually Forza 5 at times does look really Sweet. I don't know how it plays though.

Yes RsoR may be repetitive but what Beat'em up isn't Repetitive? LOL I want it because of the CLASSIC gameplay infused with some Great Graphics.

Other than that I find the arguments about Ryse to be Hilarious with people trying so HARD to make Ryse seem unworthy.

Crytek has done something really simple (Classic gameplay with Great graphics) and sometimes simple is good.

Good answer IRetrout, Ryse just isn't your type of game and I got NO PROBLEMS with that and Correct you are NOT a HATER in my book because I know I play stuff you may not like or even heard of LMAO.

So lets both kick back and enjoy our Games. PM me and let me Know about Forza 5 cause now I'm somewhat interested.

Happy Gaming!

*See people it's Not hard to have a Cool and Calm convo with people on this site who play different stuff than you!

IRetrouk3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

I can honestly say that i agree with you 100%, i dont game on pc so i cant comment on project cars other than the fact that it looks amazing and is kinda making me want to build a decent pc. Oh and when i say build i mean order lol

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

crazyCoconuts618d ago

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

Snookies12618d 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.

Crows90618d ago

It was a crytek game though

1nsomniac618d ago (Edited 618d 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.

fr0sty617d 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.

crazyCoconuts617d ago

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

VenomCarnage89617d 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

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.

annoyedgamer618d 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.

gamer7804618d 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

moriarty1889618d ago

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

annoyedgamer617d 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.

darthv72618d ago (Edited 618d 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.

babadivad617d ago

The game is automatically boosted on Series X

darthv72617d ago

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

lelo2play618d ago

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

anast624d ago (Edited 624d ago )

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?

littletad623d ago

Absolutely nothing in this comment makes sense. At all.

anast623d ago (Edited 623d ago )

How does it not make sense? O thy god of reason, shine some evidence upon us. Ryse of Rome, ESO,and AC: Origins are all live service games, between them you can get 275 points. Liveservice games are made to keep people spending. Therefore, Gamepass is a live service and the points are for playing live service games.

It is not my problem that this does not make sense to you, it is absolutely your problem. I mean it is all your problem.
