i might try it...maybe

TheWackyMan3543d ago

LEGALLY buy it. You know you want to.

Stallion3543d ago

Don't pay for it. It's shit.

TheWackyMan3543d ago

Just like I said, LEGALLY *WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE* buy it.

YellowTempes3542d ago

Or you can try Skyrim who can look the same but has way more content

Wizard_King3542d ago

I can't see man PC gamers giving much of a shit about this.

Just one less exclusive for the xbone and just one more C grade 5 buck sale item for Steam this summer.

XB1_PS43542d ago

I hope every single person who torrents this game gets a bios virus that ruins your computer. This company is in bad enough shape as it is. You're the reason.

Slevon3543d ago

Are they going to release new DLC soon after?

Volkama3543d ago

Dlc is included. I find the claim that it is an "early build" a bit odd when the game is due out this fall. I am not totally familiar with American seasons, but isn't fall only a very small number of months away?

SilentNegotiator3543d ago

Well, Fall technically starts in a month and a half. They're probably forcing the game out as fast as possible to help alleviate their financial woes, so it's probably only an "early build" because the "early" work will only last a few weeks.

Alexious3543d ago

I don't think so, unless Ryse is a smashing success on PC, which seems far fetched at this point.

NatureOfLogic_3543d ago

I might try it out. If not I'll wait for the definitive console version on PS4 at 1080p and stable fps.

ScottyHoss3542d ago

@Alexious by smashing you mean button smashing right? That's all the game really was when I tried it

Magicite3543d ago

But people said Crytek is dead.

Nekroo913543d ago

Because it is, when it has to close studios,when it doesent pay salaries for months and sells IPS (homefront) it means that the company is pretty much dead at this moment

Master-H3543d ago

It is, this is just them scrambling for that burial/coffin funeral money..

DevilOgreFish3543d ago

xbox version still looks pretty good even in the comparison. I may just hold off with what i got already, till the steam version is dirt cheap.

VealParmHero3543d ago

ha. pretty much. i liked this game. i would think they could have maybe pushed for 1080p if it came out later, judging by the slight jump in available power, but i dont think it would have made much of a diff.

looks pretty sweet on pc. crytek deff just back-handed the xb1 and consoles in general..."with out compromising quality". lol, its true though.

at any rate, i am excited to see what it looks like in action. i dont have a gaming rig, but may actually look into one at some point in the not to distant future. depends where my wallet is at. As it is, i already own all current gen consoles and with all the games coming, idk about dropping a grand or so on a pc.

That's...not great news for the Xbox One. Not exactly showing off the hardware

TheUltimateGamer3543d ago

This was a launch title for the Xbox One. A re-release of a year old title looking better is hardly surprising, regardless of what system it was on.

I'm more curious as to why they're bothering.. Ryse wasn't a terrible game but it certainly isn't worth a year of wait for a slight graphical boost.

iNFAMOUZ13543d ago (Edited 3543d ago )

its for people who haven't played it and dont have an xbox one. Plus the graphical boost helps make this already beautiful game 100 percent crisp

iamnsuperman3543d ago (Edited 3543d ago )

Well Cyrtek is in a Crysis :p

It isn't about boosting graphical fidelity but it is more to do with making more money back off their investment.

MightyNoX3543d ago

@superman: you're gonna get every mileage you can out of the Crysis pun, aren't you.

Seriously though, I like this development. I want see if Crytek managed to eek out a profit or not.

VealParmHero3543d ago

my thinking is this project is likely relatively low cost and they can at least bank on some decent sales. not a terrible way to gain a bit of cash

LavaLampGoo3542d ago

That too, but I mean the Xbone is really struggling at the minute, and saying "just wait long enough and you'll get better looking versions of our 'exclusives' on PC" isn't a great selling point...

nicksetzer13543d ago (Edited 3543d ago )

Ummm, a launch title for XB1 vs a PC port a year later. What do you expect? They have readily available GPU's that are almost 6x more powerful. It has nothing to do with xb1 being weak it has everything to do with much better hardware being available on PC.

The real surprise is just how minimal the differences are with that in mind.

imt5583543d ago

Only jump from 900p to 4k is huuuuge difference.

Sy_Wolf3542d ago

It's cute you think there's only a 6x jump in performance between the GPU in the Xbone and a 780ti.

gamer11383543d ago

Apart from the res bump and 4k textures, looks the same as xbox one. What kind of beast will you need to run it like that though?

thehobbyist3543d ago

4k Textures + "Looks the same as xbox One" = WTF

tee_bag2423542d ago

Only 4k textures and 60fps.. Umm what more of a night and day difference could one hope for?

ProjectVulcan3542d ago (Edited 3542d ago )

A beast? No no no.

A midrange PC will easily beat Xbox One on this game. Indeed, it does comfortably on most games.

The game only ran 1600 x 900 with a fairly variable often sub 30FPS framerate on the console with a pretty slow GPU.

Considering even an R9 270 is twice as fast as Xbox One you'll probably get at least 1920 x 1080 with much better framerates and AA.

Anything faster like an R9 280X or GTX760 you'll be cruising this.

boskoz3543d ago

As main PC user, zero interest in this quick time events festival of a game...

Imp0ssibl33543d ago

Completely agree, I will not buy this game (unless its 75% off in a steam sale in a year or so, but the game looks gorgeous on PC.

Moncole3543d ago

The game will be used as a benchmark. Same thing happened with the first Crysis.

scark923542d ago

or every Crytek game ever xD

Magnagamer2223543d ago

There's no question that it will look better for PC. Not a major difference just the images look sharper.

There's fifteen ancient Rome games?

LG_Fox_Brazil363d ago

Shadow of Rome was so freaking good

Sashamaz363d 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.

Ryse: Son of Rome Deserves a Second Shot

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.

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

CrimsonWing69617d ago

I really enjoyed it. Bought it at launch even.

ManMarmalade617d ago (Edited 617d ago )

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.

Crows90618d ago

It only needed more enemy variety and few more movesets or weapons to use. That would have made the experience tons better.

MadLad618d ago

It was a good game.
Only time I saw quick time events actually make me feel engaged.

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.

Julion0715623d ago (Edited 623d ago )

Hate Xbox but comments in every Xbox article 😂 without making sense smh

anast623d ago

Bring the evidence and then your emoji might make sense.
