Crytek Studios new release for the Xbox One launch line up Ryse:Son of Rome had everyone talking at E3 with some brutal combat action and gory graphics.
Bringing Ancient Roman warfare to the new generation – in style.
Ryse was defiantly the best looking game for the Xbox One but the fast combat heavy gameplay impressed with anyone who got to play the game.
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 e3 demo was early pre alpha that had limited AI on NPC. The playable demo at Gamescom will be beta level with improve graphics and fighting skills.
The button prompts weren't a problem when I saw the game at E3 and they still aren't in my opinion.
I'm getting this game on day one for the graphics, the potential of the storyline, and the gameplay
Day One Purchase for me. I like the Roman era and this could be a potential future franchise.
Dev already said there are no qte in final build that was for e3 only.lets stop talking about qte thank you.
Ryse is day 1. It's one of the best looking launch games and it's set in Rome and violent. It's a win for xbox-one owners.
I hope it does well enough for a sequel.
