IGN: Ryse's multiplayer looks nothing like the released footage, doesn't feel nextgen

IGN video said:
The problem.. is that game is really boring and doesn't have anything interesting to say. It's just kindof button-mashy press x to chop dudes up until you can execute them. And thats it.

And it didn't particularly feel good. The combat felt really sluggish. The camera was atrocious.
Ouch.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
I feel Dead Rising 3 looks quite workable visually, especially given what it's doing.

Only game I really want on XBone.

I don't get it...sooo, it's not the same game or what? How can it not look the same, do they have some separate code of the game running and saving some horrible code for shows lol?
Perhaps the b-roll footage might be from a PC dev version whereas the demo is on Xbox One? That's be my main guess.

Probably in-engine cinematic stuff versus real gameplay?
 
I can vaguely remember one of the insider types on here saying that after initial reveals at E3, Xbone games would look worse the closer to launch we got. Seems there might have been something in that judging by the state some of the launch titles appear to be in right now.

Well... the ones have actually been shown on the hardware/devkits so far at least. Out of curiousity, has there been any word yet on how stuff that's been shown heavily elsewhere (BF4, Watchdogs, AC4, etc) is shaping up on Xbone right now?

They went on to say that the gameplay feels like a one button masher, has no identity, doesn't have anything to say, and that the camera is terrible.

Damn. I hope that Crytek turns it around, but then again it's been years since Crytek made a game with actual great gameplay.

The E3 demo which is what was impressive was confirmed to be on the One by Crytek and Digital Foundry. Seems they just brought a really buggy build to pax for some reason, perhaps they got unlucky or maybe the multiplayer is currently in shambles. Who knows!

wow pretty harsh critic.
It´s not the graphic which gets the hardest critic, it´s the gameplay.

Not really a game to looking for. "pretty boring" "doesnt feel good" "camera is atrocious" "very sluggish" ....


Would be funny if IGN gives the game sth. above 8.5 at the end :loool
 
The gifs posted today make that mode looks awful. So much show that it shouldn't have been shown in that state, if it's a selling point for them in November or whenever.

This was my impression of the footage they showed at GamesCom. The footage at E3 looked a lot better, but it felt like it was very much on-rails. I don't know why people are expecting a lot from a game that was designed originally with the Kinect being required. It takes a lot of time a patience to design good combat systems. These sequences seem like something cooked up in a very short period of time.

Does the game really just spam the "a" prompt at you, forever? Seems pretty redundant and silly.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(

Bad build perhaps?... happens all the time.
 
Yeah I still dont get this game at all.

Out of all the next gen stuff this game really sticks to me with its blandness.

If you told me Crytek are making a next gen action game set during the fall of the Roman empire I would be super excited. But looking at it? It just doesn't do anything for me. Combat looks dull and simplistic, Art isnt very colourful or unique and graphically it isnt blowing my socks off. Is there a story? I dont know.
 
Oh man, those Ryse GIFs are hilarious.

And Dead Rising 3 does indeed seem pretty awesome. I wasn't feeling the initial reveal for it, but it's been looking a whole lot better since then.

GROUNDBREAKING NEXT-GEN GAMEPLAY

Is this really supposed to be their showpiece AAA launch title? Damn, this shit looks terrible. I mean, damn - I know this is Crytek's first shot at an action game and all but good grief that looks like shit.

It's almost as if at the very last minute someone said "hey guys, maybe we should add combat in this game".

Yeah that kinect to controller change really shows
