1 Hour of Ryse single player campaign...SPOILERS

Ryse looks so fricken awesome.

I think combat look ok tbh. It's def good enough to hold up a cinematic action game. The javelin trhowing sections are very poorly designed. Javelins lying around in droves, really stiff gameplay, lots of annoying clutter on screen. The way collectibles are handled is also subpar. Game seems very one dimensional and repetetive. Still I might pick it up for $10 on a steam sale and give it a playthrough because of the setting + eye candy.

Why would Ryse be on Steam?

this game plays like crap. sry to say this it is the same as killzone a graphical showcase but poor game. i predict a 5 or at best a 6 for this. even killzones gameplay looks better

afraid to watch knowing I'd be witnessing one-third of the whole game.

IDK.... I obviously might be biased, but it sort of reminds me of current gen console ports.

I'm not sure how they're going to make the campaign interesting, but I'm not particularly interested in the setting to begin with...

And, I'm not sure I appreciate the amount of cutscenes.... It's not MGS.

Thrid party dev like Crytek will release on PC in a year or two just like Mass Effect, Alan Wake etc.

tlou had a good ammount of length, I think the average was around 12 hours.

More like MS's launch Knack... repetitive and dull

honest question guys, I wanna watch this, im very interested, should I ruin it, or wait for nov 22nd? I have a feeling that this game is gonna be awesome, but have 4 out of 10 scores. the graphics are dumb enough to just have me guak at it in sheer amazement I wont care how clunky the sword play is.

if you bought the game already you should just wait. If you're not sure if you should return it or not..... well... you have to consider what other game can you get with the money to play that may interest you. If there is i would go for that other game, Ryse is just an introduction game to the next gen, not anything better than what you can currently get current gen.

@Joedgabe: yeah but its a graphical showcase. the animations facial stuff. I think im gonna watch and then ill decide.

Fanboyism aside I'd recommend watching it yourself and drawing your own conclusion. There's really no spoilers just think of it as an extended demo.

Quite a few of us found the gameplay to be highly repetitive, it's like the batman games for the most part with slowmo execution sequences. countering with your shield seems to be a big part of the game just like how countering attacks was 80% of the gameplay in the arkham games.

It does look good, very pretty game.

Graphically it's the best-looking launch title between PS4 and XB1.

But the gameplay looks horribly repetitive, with very stiff animations and clunky combat.

it looks repetitive, its still a good game, I wanna see how that looks on my hdtv. Don't think ill buy at launch, thinking dr3, killer instinct, and Forza, all must buys. If it scores higher than 70 meta id be surprise. I hope im wrong.

the levels of ryse are what makes its case. I watched the whole video, the end showing the next level shows off very nicely. graphically this is the best of the new gen, sorry killzone, this is better.

I don't really get what people see in this game, it just doesn't look interesting.

There are 3 gignatic reasons why Ryse can never be on Killzone's level graphically

1. Ryse is extremely linear and scripted.

Killzone is much much much much open,

And to boot,

Killzone STILL LOOKS BETTER

WHILE pushing much more gemotry at a much higher density of detail,

WHILE pushing more high poly character models

And while pushing more effects and tech

2. RYSE HAS SHITTY SHITTY animations

Killzone is a FPS and still has better animations

3. Killzone is at 1080p vs 900p on Ryse

Which means Killzone is rendering about 30% more pixels of detail on screen which is a huge difference

When you look at whats on your screen as a whole, there is NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, Killzone DESTROYS Ryse in graphics (and for sure in gameplay too)

All things considered, Ryse looks LAST GENERATION in comparison to Killzone

Ryse only has good character models and good looking pre-rendered cut scenes

Killzone ShadowFall is FAR AND AWAY THE BEST LOOOKING launch game of ANY console, and its NOT EVEN close

In fact Killzone vs Ryse PROVES the PS4 is 50% more powerful then the xbone

Killzone is 1080p while being bigger, more open, and STILL looking better

Xbone exclusive games are going to have to be scripted and linear to the extreme just to "keep half pace" with PS4 exclusive games that are bigger, more open, and still look better!

Even multi plats on xbone have to be 720p vs 1080p on PS4 and that IS HUGE

Ryse isnt even a game, its a QTE button masher, so IF you actually want to PLAY great looking games that are more open and still look better, then buy a PS4 for the PS4 exclusives and for the superior multi plats.

There is NO LOGICAL reason as a gamer to buy an xbone

crappy games, best on conosles

@halosball: No bias at all in your last post. Then again this is system wars where all rational thoughts go out the window lol

Oh like that, yeah I did read your sentence wrong then. Sorry, I thought this game had open world aspects I didn't know about :p

I can, a lot in fact.

The fighting style is clunky and robotic because thats the roman legionaries fighting style. It was not about 1 on 1 combat it was about cutting through vast numbers of poorly armoured enemies with great use of the shield and stabbing with a short sword. Those expecting the fighting styles seen in Assassins creed and the hand to hand from the batman games WILL be sorely disappointed. Game looks great. Looks fun. Looks exactly how it should look.

How do you want me to prove my statement ? I can't list all the games this gen that are longer than 6 hours, because there are A LOT, hundreds of them. I'll give some examples. 6-8 hours is what I find acceptable for an FPS, but there are FPS this gen that were longer. Bioshock 1&2, Crysis 1&2 and Shadow Warrior to give a few examples.

A lot of RTS last way longer than 6 hours too. Starcraft IIs campaign is easily longer than 15 hours, I wouldn't know how you can complete it in 6. Company of Heroes 2s campaign is longer than 15 hours as well.

And no, I don't spent hours on taking in views in game. I did in some breathtaking games like Crysis or Battlefield 4. Games where you just have to stop at times and take in the scope and visuals.

Call of Duties are short games, except for 1&2, but when the focus of the series became MP they shortened the campaign. Halo 1 was a very lenghty game, Halo 2 was very short and very disappointing. Again, this is because the focus was on the MP, not the SP. Call of duty Black Ops Declassified was 1 hour, ONE FREAKING HOUR.

TPS are usually longer too. Max Payne 3 was longer than 15 hours.

I think 10 hours or longer are the norm for most games. Except for FPS, in that case 6 hours has become acceptable.

I think it looks good. The only thing that bothers me is the spear throwing when up close to enemy. I think it would of been better to impale him.

Looks good for a XB1 game.

...and that's probably like 1/4 of the game. :P

its looks..... kinda really good?

am I allowed to say that?

Like i said in my previous reply: Crysis 1&2, Bioshock 1&2, Max Payne 3, Shadow Warrior, ... I'll add Metro 2033 and Last Light :)

All linear games that exceed 6 hours. I'm playing Zombiu and NSMB. U right now, I'm pretty sure those games are longer than 6 hours as well.

No dynamic damage on enemies, silky water on the beach and character models, and no footprints in the saturated sand. Boy it's very much so reminiscent of an early-gen game. I'm thinking it'll be lucky to hit 7...
