Gamescom: Don't Worry About Ryse: Son of Rome | IGN

IGN:

After a hands-on with the latest build on the eve of Gamescom, however, I have good news: there's no need to worry about Ryse: Son of Rome. The combat has plenty of depth, and the AI is aggressive enough that you'll be challenged plenty. Oh, and QTEs are merely optional finishing moves, with the giant button prompt over a foe's head replaced by a subtle colored outline around the not-long-for-this-world bad guy that corresponds to the button you're supposed to press in order to nail the best execution.

How could anyone doubt the power of this machine or game? These screenshots are stunning.

Yep, looks great. Definitely in my top 3 most anticipated games along with Division and Watch Dogs

[JokesOnYou]

yeah, we all know why some folks were "worried" about Ryse unfortunately for them Crytek has put an end to their hopes. Check the multiplayer vid if you dare. http://www.vg247.com/2013/0...

I don't think many are doubting how good it looks we are more worried about the quick time event gameplay and the fact crytek haven't been able to do a memorable single player story this current gen

So while crytek will make the game look stunning I am more worried about the actual content, graphics can only take you so far. Look at farcry 2-3 both are great looking but story and gameplay is pretty generic and dull

He is hoping crytek changes all that with this game

[theWB27]

They shouldn't be worried about the QTE since it's been debunked since the game debuted by journalists and the devs. Debunked even more today...

I kind of enjoyed Crysis...never played Farcry, nor any videos of it. Strange once I admit that.

I'm hoping they deliver too..

If you're SO worried about RYSE QTE's you probably think Heavy Rain is a shitty game then..?

To be fair Heavy Rain is a game focused on story and choosing different paths to tell that story much like The Walking Dead. Ryse is an action game focused on fighting (from what we have seen) so the criticism at the time was warranted.

Anyway the game definitely looks amazing graphically and hopefully the gameplay matches it too. Could be a great new IP.

CRYSIS 1 has a great story, all of it was epic. "on pc" but ill agree crysis 2 was horrific, and crysis 3 was ok.

[MajorLazer]

Far Cry 2-3 had amazing gameplay. My personal GOTY for 2012 was Far Cry 3 amd deservedly so because it was the most fun I had in a videogame that whole year

[starchild]

Far Cry 3 is a fantastic game, I don't know what you are talking about. And if you meant Crysis 2 and Crysis 3, well those games are still decently good. Not amazing, but I enjoyed them.

[snipab8t]

Far Cry 2 and 3 were made by Ubisoft dude. Only Farcry 1 and Predator were made by Crytek.

[B-radical]

Agreed x1 gpu isn't as much as a slouch as people think

[drsfinest72]

Good freaking news !!

[lastofgen]

this game looks incredible.
now, I really want to see this colosseum mode.

[Zichu]

Even though I'm not that interested in Kinect games, this does look like an interesting game with amazing visuals.

I will probably pick this game up, no good being close minded about a game when I haven't even tried it.

[GodGinrai]

Its kinect free btw.

[slimpickens]

Heck yeah,that's what I'm talking about! Game looks phenomenal and will be in my console as soon as I can get one.

[urwifeminder]

Very nice indeed glad to hear more about this game.

[2cents]

Im getting more and more excited about this game.

I think this will be my first digital download to give me that new console feeling.

Ryse has moved to DAY ONE for me.

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next"... lol

my inner child is about to have a game-gasm.

[CC-Tron]

Let the crow eating commence.

[etownone]

Can't wait for this game.

This is my number one exclusive from Xbox One on launch I'm looking forward to.

The others, Battlefield and Watchdogs

[TheKingWilliamV]

Ryse up in here is going HAM DAYUM DAYUM DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OmniSlashPT]

Looks gorgeous, but judging from the last gameplay trailer, it looks awful, full with QTEs, slow mos and chaotic gameplay (in a bad way). It's basically a CGI movie in which you just press a button, and not even a good one (like HR for example).

[Loki86]

No words to describe how wrong you are, the system needs to be learned and adapted to, since they don't tell you what prompts. Plus you have to pick which type of energy you are using based on what is going on, sounds so much better, but you trolls can never be satisfied.
