Crytek's Ryse: Son of Rome is an Xbox One launch game
Powered by the latest version of CryEngine, the debut Xbox One trailer of Ryse impressed audiences at Microsoft's E3 press conference--even if the gameplay seemed a bit too reliant on QTEs.
As previously announced, Crytek's long-in-development action game, Ryse: Son of Rome, is exclusive to Xbox One. Powered by the latest version of their CryEngine, the debut Xbox One trailer impressed audiences at Microsoft's E3 press conference--even if the gameplay seemed a bit too reliant on QTEs.
The game stars Marius Titus, a soldier in the Roman army who "must embark on a brutal journey to defend the Empire's honor and seek revenge for the murder of his family." God of War much? Although the game was originally meant to be a Kinect title, the demo shows mostly controller-based gameplay that will somehow work "in conjunction with Kinect."
Here's the E3 trailer:

This is a plain, straight up lazy attempt to money grab the launch hype with a tech demo. Oh Crytek, what have you become.

Wow, that looks so bad!!! Not the graphics (which look good though not particularly interesting), but the gameplay... these guys need to play some Chivalry or something.
Probably the worst thing about it is the disconnect between the 'plot' and the 'gameplay' (each of which seems weak by itself). E.g., they need to fire some huge rock at a tower, and they don't because... there are some creatures there. He kills them, then says fire, and it takes 1 second to fire the thing. Why doesn't he just yell "fire!" at the beginning?
I'm surprised they showed any gameplay... it looks boring to play, plus there are so many obvious bugs (weird animations, lip syncing way off sometimes, skybox looks incomplete in the second part, etc.).
Dear Crytek, amazing tech does not mean great graphics (I can tell they're tessellated and all, but tessellating purely grey environments is boring). And tons of explosions don't make gameplay exciting.
Hope this isn't a trend... I guess we'll all have to wait for Dishonored 2 to come out to show people how next gen games should be done (hopefully!)-

I mean, has anyone ever heard another person say "I like QTE's".
