New Ryse: Son of Rome combat vidoc and singleplayer footage

So far, I have come across 3 positive Ryse previews (IGN, Gamespot, and Venture beat). I have seen one very negative preview (game informer). Why am I not surprised that the one negative preview has its own thread that is almost twice as long as this one, while the three positive previews are basically ignored?

Not surprised at all. Someone should make a thread for those reviews just for the hell of it. Can't wait to get home from work so i can check out these vids

I agree with him. Killzone pales compared to these visuals. Not even close. Killzone will probably kill it in the gameplay department though. This just looks repetitive and stale tbh.

I don't want to derail this thread, but I just don't see how, K:SF is doing everything Ryse does but at a higher resolution. They both look great but KZ edges it in the graphical department.

Yeah, those are 50mbps 30fps direct feed gameplay scenes from the trailers, but not interrupted by montage :)

Some framegrabs from one of the trailers:

Player detail. Combatant details. Environmental details. All better in Ryse. I'm not making this about resolution. That's just dumb to me. I'm talking about how the game actually looks. Mario Galaxy wasn't even in HD yet it looks superior than a great many games that are.

Looks good, but could have looked much better with improved animations...

You're entitled to...being wrong. ;) I'll leave it at that!
 
Seeing stuff like this and KZ...I think game's should have options to tone down the gore, especially as games become more and more realistic. The level of violance is getting too OT for me I think. I mean this game is about as gory as Fist of the North Star, but it is becoming fairly standard in games. More difficult to get away with when the visuals are this good. I mean real battles were intense and gory of course, but obviiously there was consequence to your actions that few if any games manage to capture. Not here anyway.

Don't see it. All that you listed look just as good in its own fashion in KZ. Ryse does have the jiggly flesh tech going on though.
 
Before i had a Lair vibe about this game.

Now, i have a heavenly Sword vibe. Stunning looking game, not that deep fighting mechanics in closed environments with quicktime events.

I loved HS....
 
I'm sorry, but this game looks fun as hell. Maybe it's my love for good old fashioned hack n' slash and ancient Rome coming out, but I can't expect it to be much more than that.

EDIT: Holy shit at that second video.

I agree with that. Those three videos looked great. Yes it's a simple game - but looks like a lot of fun and I expect to enjoy playing through the story. I'll avoid the easiest difficulty setting too.

Hopefully the game sells well, because I think the franchise has potential moving forward, assuming they make some much needed changes to animation and combat.
 
This game looks fucking incredible. Lighting and visuals look as if they made some pretty big fucking improvements. And it also looks pretty damn fun. Can't wait!

So here's a thought, if the XB1 can pull off these visuals at 900p. You would think that with the right amount development time and optimization, DICE would have no problem implementing BF4 at 1080p at 60fps.

I realize there is a lot more going in in BF4, especially in the multiplayer, but RYSE is visually stunning and incredible detailed, and looks much better than BF4.

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

Ryse looks OK, but GOW 3 still beats in almost every aspect, I think GOW 3 even looks better.

I'll wait for the reviews before picking this up because recent previews weren't too encouraging.

This is looking really good.

I'm definitely getting that Heavenly Sword vibe. Big, beautiful set pieces with combat being the main focus.

Have they mentioned anything about boss fights?

Transitions between animations are horrendous.

Haha.. Every game needs a little polish before launch.

At certain glances some of it looks damn near real. As far as the gameplay goes, I think that most are just sick of the good old hack n' slash formula. Which actually looks perfectly fine here. Fortunately for me, I still love the hell out of games like this.

Amen! I still fucking love games like this.

Well I would say it animates better for sure, and GoW 3 will always look incredible. But in terms of graphics, this is clearly above any current gen game. Maybe aspects of Beyond impress me more, but the visuals on display are very impressive to me.

Of course I expect whatever SSM is cooking up to be more impressive, but this looks damn good.

Game looks great. I would play it if I had an Xbone, even if it was for screenshot taking purposes only.

I would like to play this. Here's hoping it turns out to be a good game in the end with decent gameplay and story. This and Killzone 3 are the only new game launch titles that have really grabbed my attention when it comes to graphics.

Ryse looks to be the bare minimum of what I expect from next generation graphically.

Sorry, all other games.
