[Kerub]

Mmm next-gen. I would love a full RPG with those visuals. Witcher 3 maybe?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

One of those combos looked like a KI combo. lol

 

[Fortinbras]

Graphics are amazing.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Looks amazing but it feels very constrictive and the animations are really stiff. The swords aren't leaving blood or gashes on the player models either.

 

[Dukey]

Easily the best looking next gen game I've seen so far. I'm not sold on the gameplay after his description though.

 

[Cragvis]

bree-order canceled.

 

[Doffen]

Nice!

[sunnz]

Visually it's stunning, especially the night forest, so good looking.

But I really dislike how fast the combat looks ( looks too unnatural) It's like he slides to the enemies with his attacks.

Too many slowdowns too ( thankfully they are optional, i think)

 

[Flarin]

Wow, talk about making a full recovery from E3. Game looks amazing.
Your move, Sony Santa Monica.

 

[ironcreed]

Gobsmacked at how gorgeous it is and it just looks fun as hell to boot. I am increasingly tempted to pay $100 more to get an Xbone first, mainly for this game. How things change.

 

[Pound_lb003]

Looks pretty in more areas than it doesn't... Does that make sense?

I think sunsets were used too much during the current gen, so when they do daytime/fog rain and stuff it looks better now.

 

[Ryan Gosling]

Wow! Best Looking Launch game IMO

 

[derFeef]

Oh wow, even the E3 demo stage is improved graphics wise. Impressive.

 

[LowerLevel]

Intrigued. Forza, DR3 and this game... Nice line up.

 

[ced]

With the exception of the still horrible animations it does looks great visually.

Personally think KZ looks much better.

 

[Truant]

Looks out of this world for a launch game.

Someone gif the part where the dude gets a sword up his ass.

 

[DrGonzo615]

Dats a puurdy game!

The animations look a little janky to me though. Still good to hear that its coming together.

 

[adelante]

LMAO Marius kickin that dude who was climbing up a wooden ladder @0.36

Game looks fuckin spectacular.

 

[LiLSnorpSnorp]

Not going to lie, this just may have become day one for me

 

[Sathsquatch]

Looks amazing but it feels very constrictive and the animations are really stiff. The swords aren't leaving blood or gashes on the player models either.

The stream they had last week showed enemies with gashes, but it was kind of hard to see sometimes.

 

[Derrick01]

Nice!

Thanks for this. It looks amazing but it's such a damn shame the gameplay looks so bad. It really seems like a wasted opportunity.

 

[Nibel]

 

[shandy706]

Still haven't decided if I'm getting it day-one. I'm going to go KI and Forza and grab this next month....if I can hold out.

Looks gorgeous.

 

[brandonh83]

Ryse: Son of a Bitch That Looks Good

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Looks superb visually, would really like a demo though

 

[ironcreed]

Yeah, and this is a launch title, folks. I'm not worried about visuals on the Xbox One. I'll be more than content.

 

[KTallguy]

Really nice looking game, it's come a long way.

Kinda wish that the combos weren't multiple button prompts. I prefer a system like NG2. Just have to play it first and see how it feels.

 

[lastflowers]

The game certainly has gone from 'meh, probably pick it up because I'll want games to play' to 'alright, yeah, lets do this' over the past couple of months.

 

[hawk2025]

Looks fantastic.

Gameplay and animation is just as pedestrian as before, so I've given up hope on hidden depth. I'll try to enjoy it for what it is.

 

[shinobi602]

Ryse blowout today, damn.

http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/h9xwen/ryse--son-of-rome-combat-overview

 

[Feindflug]

Lighting is really gorgeous and the frame-rate even with a lot of enemies on screen looks really smooth...the game may turn out to be mediocre but it sure looks absolutely amazing.

 

[Cragvis]

I dont like how they sped up the animations at some points, looks like they all have super powers. People couldnt swing their swords around that fast. but vigea gamez

 

[Pirzolaman]

Awesome looking game! Can't wait to buy the console when they decide to sell it without the camera for cheaper price.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

The stream they had last week showed enemies with gashes, but it was kind of hard to see sometimes.

Fair enough, definitely a game I'd like to try.

 

[Impeccable]

Executions still auto complete and combat sounds depressingly simple. But mother of God it's beautiful.

 

[Monty Mole]

Holy shit, that looks way better than it used to. Still think the animations look a bit wooden, but the environments are incredible.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Brutal.

 

[Blimblim]

So that IGN video on the other topic is just a part of that vidoc with a different voiceover? That's... odd.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Looks very impressive.
But I still can't imagine the combat to be fun for a longer period of time. It just doesn't look dynamic.

 

[Majanew]

LMAO Marius kickin that dude who was climbing up a wooden ladder @0.36

Game looks fuckin spectacular.

Yeah, I laughed out loud when I saw that.

Game looks amazing. You're going in my XB1 first, Marius.

 

[Barakov]

Looks great. A major step up from what was shown at E3. Crytek definitely showing their graphical prowess here. For some reason, I really like how janky the animations look. It fits with how brutal the game is.

 

[shinobi602]

This one seems to go more in depth into the different combat mechanics.

Better than IGN's in my opinion.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

It looks good, but it still looks like the single player is an elaborate horde mode. They showed several different sections there and they all played out very similarly. Would like know how these story events are connected, I know it is not open world, but is there some exploration or connective tissue between locations? Still looks like the game to get for the Xbone though.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

lots of the same footage from the IGN video just posted

 

[something fishy]

really looking forward to trying this. looks impressive.

 

[SoundofSilence]

Wow, talk about making a full recovery from E3. Game looks amazing.
Your move, Sony Santa Monica.

Things are going to get very interesting on 11-14.

 

[von zipp]

Looks really really good.
I hope the gameplay holds up.

Day one for me.
