Crytek on the challenge of creating Xbox One’s launchday showpiece, Ryse: Son Of Rome

By giving Xbox One its mandatory early visual powerhouse – despite all the doomsaying about the hardware’s horsepower – Ryse was arguably the console’s most important launch title. It disrupted the narrative, leaving many players clueless as to what the platform can really achieve. It’s certainly hard to imagine more on day one in terms of presentation and ensemble performance capture. As technical art director Christopher Evans and cinematic director Peter Gornstein explain, achieving such results involved risks, experimentation and lots of research.

Pretty good interview. Those weren't exactly softball questions.

DanielGearSolid3744d ago

So what are they working on next?

truefan13744d ago (Edited 3744d ago )

Crytek set the standard graphically for next gen. Ryse was a great starting point, the ip has so much potential. I hope they continue to work with the XB1 in the future.

Cerbus3744d ago (Edited 3744d ago )

No it does not set the standard for next gen. It doesn't out put at 1080p so give it a rest, it's a last gen game.

4logpc3744d ago

If you really think Ryse is capable on last Gen because it doesnt run in 1080, you should grow up.

Maybe you should give it a rest. He thinks its the best so to HIM its the best.

Ryse is a great game that went through a lot of changes over the course of its development. And it still turned out well.

dansdooz3744d ago

was a great showpiece and i really enjoyed it. gameplay needs mixing up a bit, really hope for a sequel with monsters n shizzz.

Eldyraen3744d ago

I can live without monsters as it was refreshing to fight in a pseudo-realistic setting (gods could had been dropped easily enough and it would been just fine using Democules as a metaphor and not divinely created).

Rome had a huge swath of influence/territory where we could see plenty of human inspired legends of mythical creatures on top of different cultures and their weaponry/tactics.

DaleCooper3744d ago

Just finished the game a couple days ago. Great story and lots of fun. An unexpected surprise, especially after all the bad press.

christocolus3744d ago

yeah . i am hoping they start work on a sequel soon.

Crytek Gives Brief Update on New Crysis Game; Studio Has a "Great Team" Working on It

Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.

DefenderOfDoom2163d ago

Actually would love a new Crysis campaign.

P_Bomb163d ago

Ditto. Ran through them again last year. I’ll grab the new one.

Crazyglues162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

Yeah they really messed up by not adding the Multi-player to the Crysis Triogly because while the campaign was fun I really loved the Multi-player and couldn't wait to see what it was going to be like on current gen.

They could have dropped new maps and DLC and fans would have bought it up... -But they dropped the ball and did just the Campaign's with no new content or story, which was just crazy.

Anyway still hoping Crysis 4 is the whole Chicken Sandwhich with all the toppings.... Can't wait.

PrinceOfAnger162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

Yeah It will probably be 5 years development

SimpleSlave162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?

purple101162d ago

Series S owners: "but can it run crysis doh?"

LG_Fox_Brazil388d ago

Shadow of Rome was so freaking good

Sashamaz388d ago

I'm still waiting for the sequel.

HyperMoused388d ago

Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.
