Looks amazing graphically, and amazingly boring at the same time, combat and animation look really basic.

 

[Blimblim]

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

Agreed, this one is longer and everything, it's just so strange to do this though.

 

[DrM]

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

Yeah, he can throw spear at supersonic speed. Graphics look amazing, but animations are a bit janky and gameplay seems a bit boring.

 

[nib95]

Graphics are STUNNING! Gameplay....not so much. But it has potential. Currently it just seems over repetitive and over simplistic. And what's with the enemies just popping out of the ground? Bit random. Still, the graphics engine is top notch and animation wise, though still not perfect, it's come a long way. Did notice a few frame rate hitches (when the scale opens up a bit, which doesn't happen often), but otherwise it's looking pretty solid.

 

[iamvin22]

Looks good but those animations are pretty stiff.

 

[metareferential]

This one is longer and better looking.

And my God it looks good.

Bring on the gifs guys.

Not sure if this warrants a new thread or not...but it doesn't sound very good according to Game Informer.

The part at the end with the multiplayer is new.

Game does look spectacular, especially that part with the rain. I'm still iffy on those multi-button executions though.

 

[Appleman]

Crytek are fucking wizards, I still think Killzone gets the edge but this is damn close to taking that crown

 

[Dukey]

Mmmm those big titties with pasties on. So gooooooood....wait, what's happening to me.

There's no doubt in my mind who wins the early graphics war. Good job, Crytek. I hope a lot more devs license this engine.

Best looking game on XB1 but my god that gameplay looks awful.

 

[Derrick01]

I kind of get the Batman combat comparisons people were making months ago now but at the same time it looks way worse than those games. Extremely janky and not smooth at all and it seems like everything special is controlled by a flashing colored-QTE of sorts. I doubt pulling everything off while keeping a high combo going will require anywhere near the skill and timing it does in Batman.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Graphically looks amazing, gameplay still looks like shit.

Sounds like every other Crytek game.

 

[Tom Penny]

GOTY.

 

[Windom Earle]

Gameplay still looks pretty bad and as a PC gamer the visuals don't do much for me either.

Ouch.

Crytek indeed. Perty visuals but gameplay? Not quiet there. Your move media molecule

 

[DukeBobby]

Graphically spectacular, but the combat and animations leave a lot to be desired. It just doesn't look like fun at all.

 

[deejay8595]

LOL @ 35 sec mark!!!

 

[alterno69]

Also, the camera is way too close to the characters most of the time.

That's okay. I don't want or need it to reinvent the wheel. I just want a fun hack n' slash game set in a beautifully realized ancient Roman setting. I think it will more than suffice with those sort of expectations.

 

[Netherscourge]

Looks WAY better than that awful Twitch stream they showed last week.

 

[rmanthorp]

Looks shit.

Ryse in a nutshell. Hopefully we're proven wrong in the end

 

[Subterranean]

Looks good. Hopefully the story and world hold up.

 

[Loudninja]

It looks damn good,combat does not seem to have much impact though it looks weird.

 

[Nibel]

Glorious

 

[Sathsquatch]

Kevin Van Ord at Gamespot seemed to like it, even though he hated it the last time he played it.

[shinobi602]

Merged threads together, GT's is better

 

[Dukey]

Suffers from the EA sports crowd syndrome. At one point the very same fat guy with ponytail is next to a doppelganger of himself fighting Marius.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Fuck yeah this looks great! Day one.

 

[Zyae]

Looks amazing, going to be a fun launch title!

 

[Ricky_R]

Looks great visually, specially the night segments with the fog and stuff. Gameplay and animations look weird though.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Looks stunning. I'm renting this from GameFly first, but if it ends up being fun I'll buy it.

 

[def sim]

The combat looks like Batman with far less weapons and gadgets. Looking at the vidoc, it doesn't seem awful, just simplistic.

 

[GYNGA]

Looks good, but those animations... YUCK!

 

[FoeHammer]

Looks amazing. This along with Forza and DR3 might make this one of the better launches in recent memory (for me at least).

 

[KKRT00]

Terrible compression, i cant even imagine how bad it will look on gametrailers preview.

Some lighting scenes looks exceptional, some geometry in distance isnt amazing though. It has full feature set of cryengine, but dont know why they do not use wind more. Those bushes and trees were to static for this game.

AA was very good in this footage.

 

[RayMaker]

I would never of thought a 1.2tflop machine could produce such visuals, especially at launch.

I expect a high score from IGN.

and a lot of people are expecting there to be a big visual gulf in PS4 exclusives.

but after seeing RYSE I think X1 exclusives will look just as impressive despite being technically inferior.

 

[Tratorn]

Graphically it looks good, but the combat looks more than boring imo. :/
It's sad, because I really like the setting and if I would have liked the gameplay, this could have been the reason to buy a XB1 for me besides Forza.

 

[derFeef]

Gametrailers has more footage, very impressed by visuals.

 

[bbtankc]

Technical showcase for sure. Gameplay looks a bit too simplistic though.

 

[Confidence Man]

Just makes me want a roman-themed RPG.

This has got to be a short game, I can't imagine that gameplay sustaining more than a 4 or 5 hour campaign.

 

[VFX_Veteran]

Looking good! I'm glad X1 has their launch title they can be proud of.

 

[RoboPlato]

Graphically it's incredible but the somewhat janky animations kind of ruin it. Stuff like that is more important now that fidelity has hit this level.

 

[GeoramA]

n/m

At least I see a new weapon

 

[Revolutionary]

Looks a lot better than I recall. Dat CryEngine.

Not particularly impressed with the combat, however.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Love the angry facial expressions when you're doing a finishing move. Visually looks great, gameplay looks decent.

 

[VaizardNL]

Looks really great. Animations itself are very good, but it's just the timing that everyone finds quirky I guess. I think the designers/artists have just made a decision between 'realistic but slow' vs 'less realistic but more fun/faster'. I really am not bothered by this.

In my opinion it looks really fun to play.
