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.
"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.
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.
@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.
Metacritic 60, user score 6.4. I'm not alone in putting it into the "ok" category...
@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.
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.
It would have to be funded by MS, I really liked Ryse sure it got repetitive but the setting visuals and story were good
MS should have funded a sequel to Ryse and Sunset OD. Two good franchises they definitely needed last gen.
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.
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.
It only needed more enemy variety and few more movesets or weapons to use. That would have made the experience tons better.
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?
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.
Hate Xbox but comments in every Xbox article 😂 without making sense smh
looks cool and all but... here, let me explain: it looks like it can get repetive (hack slash block, block hack slash). id like to see if there are any double kill, triple kill moves (as well as just strikes) like, doing something we havent already seen in the begining of the ps3/360 gen. also maybe more enemies on screen, like, more than what we've already seen at the start of this gen. bc tbh, the graphics are Good but the gameplay doesnt seem smooth kinda clunky for what its suppose to be. i was really impressed from what i was seeing a few weeks ago, really thought it was gonna be dope, but now when i see it in motion... hey i hope it still turns out to be better/more tha what i see here.
Again, I think this game is going to be massively repetitive and grow old extremely quickly. Just the gameplay is so uniform and I'm just not seeing enough variety to convince me that people won't grow bored with this game REALLY REALLY quickly.
This will be one of my favorite launch games ever
And is it me or has the multiplayer graphics n gameplay been improved?
Reminds me of Spartacus and 300
This kid playing sucks at the game mechanics though no blocking followed by counters and no dodging or executions :/
I'm tired off ALL the bashing of Ryse Son of Rome!
when I sat down and really watched the RsoR gameplay it brought back great memories of Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, and Final Fight. CLASSIC side scrolling button mashing beat'em up games.
RsoR brings back that CLASSIC Gameplay but adds Next Gen graphics. sure they may be native 900p but hey All the nice physics, brilliant animations, and great post processing effects are there at a smooth frame rate.
(It's about the Games not Graphics RIGHT)
I had fun REPETITIVELY mashing the same 2 or 3 buttons OVER and OVER in Final Fight, Double Dragon, and Streets of Rage and you know what? After watching RsoR I really want to play it. QTE or button masher who cares it looks DARN GOOD to play JUST LIKE those CLASSICS I mentioned.
The kill animations are Excellent and there is enough environmental interaction to make the gameplay variable plus the enemy A.I. looks pretty good. Also the MP mode seems a lot of fun too.
My hats off to Crytek for bringing the Classic 2D side scrolling beat'em up to the Next Gen cause that's the vibe I get from Rsor and that's a GREAT VIBE.
boring or not ...this is the only next gen looking game around
deal withit
