E3 2013: Ryse is Not Impressive, Thief is Meh

Andrew sees Ryse and Thief at E3 and is impressed by neither.

FrigidDARKNESS3963d ago

Dont know what you ptalking about. Ryse is one of the best looking games at e3 majority ofgaming journalists says, however i do agree wiyh you on thief its look like a current gen game.

Kinger89383963d ago

Looks arent everything mate, i think from what they have shown, gameplay seems shallow

But ur right the graphics were great and all

Divine3963d ago

im a fan of Quality = sony . and i have to admit that ryse did look very good its one of my favorite games on the xbox one, I'm not buying that system though. .

medman3963d ago

Ryse looks great, but I'm not a fan of that hack and slash style of gameplay. The Order 1886 looks much more interesting to me with it's supernatural aspect.

nirwanda3963d ago

Ryse looked like alot of QTE's and thief looked like it played much better.
I think splinter cell looked a little better than thief though.

Redempteur3963d ago

I saw 2 vids of Ryse and i saw more QTes/min than in asura wrath ....

No thanks

Blastoise3963d ago

Yeah it was shiny but it looked boring as hell

DirtyMagician3963d ago

Ryse looked awesome, but gameplay looked really slow and clunky. The QTE seemed to slow the gameplay down way too much.

BlaqMagiq243963d ago

Well of course Ryse looks great. It's made by a company that only cares about graphics and not gameplay hence why it's not impressive.

dantesparda3963d ago

The graphics were good and the gsame looked good, but what concerns me is the framerate, it looked choppy at times

Thief looks like dishonered and not next-gen at all. I saw the demo and if people are interested that's fine, but It was glitchy and had many bugs.

TechnicianTed3963d ago (Edited 3963d ago )

'It was glitchy and had many bugs.'

It's still in production, it hasn't been finished yet.

'Thief looks like dishonered'

You've never played a Thief game then I take it?

Cam9773963d ago

Ryse looks like a very boring 'corridor' game. You'll play it through once then never touch it again. Why? Well, look at the demo! It plays itself, every kill prompts a quicktime event, where's the fun in that!?

Hufandpuf3963d ago

The developer said that they increased the damage for demo purposes so that it wouldn't take as many hits to prompt the execution kills so that it wouldn't take as long to show the game.

Also the game is going for a more realistic feel, so the enemies do not require 30 hit combos to kill them.

JunkieJedi3963d ago

A realistic feel? That would be pretty much a one hit kill then??

Feels a bit contradictory that they've artificially for E3 made it easier to kill people but want a more realistic feel for the finished product. Hitting someone twice with a sword would do a number on them...any more than that...NOT realistic.

hellvaguy3963d ago

" Hitting someone twice with a sword would do a number on them...any more than that...NOT realistic."

So I'mg guessing you've never once played an FPS game where you unload 1-2 clips before the kill or where it takes 2-3 body shots from a .50 cal sniper rifle.

It's tweaked this way to make it more fun. Has been done like this for um decades now?

Thief - Taken From Us Too Soon

The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.

Notellin265d ago

This would be such a great franchise to reboot. A darker game than Dishonored, but focused around stealth and large scale heists from an oppressive monarchy.

That's probably my dream game. I love immersive sims and stealth!

Noskypeno264d ago

People say they hate forced stealth sections in games. But a game focused on stealth with good mechanics and level design feels refreshing from the guns blazing games which I also enjoy. I really enjoyed playing Splinter cell, a game that not many try to mimic today. Not too many games let you shoot lights out, or throw cans or bottles to distract guards. Sure there are games with stealth options like the new Wolfenstein but it doesn't feel necessary to play it that way. Hitman might be the only game that has that feeling, except for that Korean game that may or may not ever come out.

isarai264d ago

You should try the Sniper Elite games, so good, especially with coop

Notellin264d ago

Same here. I'm glad there are some other people who enjoy these types of games!

@isarai I tried Sniper Elite 5 and ended up really enjoying that one. Went back and played 4 as well!.

ModsDoBetter265d ago (Edited 265d ago )

The last one was a trainwreck and has been in the bargain bin since just after launch. If they bring it back, they need a massive change in direction.

Inverno264d ago

only direction they should take is putting it in reverse and going back to what the originals did. I couldn't finish this game, and I made a choice to never play it again. I watched a video about the og Thief and Deus Ex games and the current AAA standard will forever hold back these games. These 2 games alone had already solved so many problems with modern gaming that I don't think they'll get a chance at something great unless they're made by a dev that actually give a damn.

monkey602264d ago

Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game

SimpleSlave264d ago

Ups and Down? More like Up, UP, Pot Hole, Free Fall into the Abyss...

Rutaprkl264d ago

Thief Deadly Shadows remaster would be awesome.

Shadow of Rome was so freaking good

Sashamaz362d ago

I'm still waiting for the sequel.

HyperMoused362d 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.
