CVG:Crytek's Ryse has gone through many changes during its long development - from first-person Kinect brawler to third-person squad combat - but what hasn't changed is the focus on making the game as cinematic as possible.
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?
I'd say this part I'm excited about, but they really haven't shown much of the story whatsoever. Sure a few bits here and there but in general they need like a sizzle reel in the same vein of what Game of Thrones had. Some kind of trailer that makes you WANT to find out what happens.
It kind of seems like they don't know wtf they want it to be?
Kinect brawler? QTE fest? Third person squad combat? x amount of polygons oh no wait less polygons? Now it's ment to be a film?
I'm waiting for Xbox to turn around a say actually it's going to be a FPS
FPS = First person sword game..... and they'll call it revolutionary
"Interview: Crytek on Ryse's filmic ambition"
Main ambition should be 1080p like most HD films!
People should stop with all those numbers. If a game looks beautiful, it looks beautiful. I couldn't be arsed that games ran at 720p current-gen, since they look fine. 720p isn't going to miraculously look worse now that 1080p should be the standard.
And since the scaler for the Xbox One is better than the 360 I am not worried.
Crytek has said they really wanted to focus on a good story for this game before and there's many characters involved who we haven't even seen yet
I really do hope there's a sequel if the game turns out good
I have a strong feeling they'll be more iterations
