Tokyo Game Show 2013 Day One Impressions - zoknowsgaming

Mark Coupe writes: The final Xbox One game I really wanted to try out was Ryse: Son of Rome, as I had seen some mixed opinions on it. I played a demo based around online co-op, and I have to say I really enjoyed it! The graphics looked really impressive, despite a few v-sync and frame skipping issues which will hopefully be gone in the final game. The gameplay is best described as a more brutal version of the fighting in the Batman Arkham City games, with more timing needed for blocking, and some additional tactical play with objectives set for you in the arena as you play through. If I do get an Xbox One, then Ryse is the first game I will buy for it.

This guy does not byte his tongue. He had a negative for just about every game DEMO. But was also gracious with the positives also.

byeGollum4283d ago

I'm glad he liked Ryse. . The more positive news about Ryse, the better. It seems like those who've played it are always impressed with the visuals. The gameplay seems to be solid also. . November can't come soon enough.

yeah they were such good and fun games but they never really reached the mainstream audience. Killer Instinct was widely known and respected.

Cacabunga55d ago

Killer instinct is great, especially on snes but it’s not the most underrated fighter.. for me it’s Power Stone. So much potential in this series

Jawsh66656d ago

Bloody Roar was a game that had a sick concept but wasn’t made the best. I’d say Killer Instinct was the opposite of that, it was well made but the roster of characters were so similar to every other fighting game in that era that it ended up feeling like more of the same. I could be wrong that’s just how I remember it at the time and I played a ton of KI on SNES because it was one of the first games I owned.

I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...

DivineHand12554d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS54d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj56d ago

You're kidding?
It enjoyed probably more success than it deserved.
Unlike Tobal 2

MeteorPanda55d ago

Tobal 2 was awesome. Sold really well cause art similarity to dragon ball

jjb198155d ago

I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.

Popsicle55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

I can tell you definitely got some SNES time in. The slight differences in the ports due to hardware constraints were interesting. For example, the arcade version was Ultraaaa Coooommboooooooo! versus Ultra….Ultra….Ultra on the SNES.

Though SNES overachieved as a port for as demanding as a game KI was.The arcade version was one of the first cabinets with a dedicated hard drive and the SNES version was 32 megabyte cartridge which was huge for that system at the time.

jjb198154d ago

Yeah, for sure. My local childhood arcade was always packed and it was hard to get a game in but once the SNES version came out, I was hooked. I can still feel the click of the power button.

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases

FPS_D3TH123d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt124d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21123d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime123d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils123d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
