CVG: Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli has claimed that Xbox 360 exclusive Codename: Kingdoms will push the console "to its limits" and offer gamers "a genuinely new" interactive entertainment experience.
MovieStinger: "Microsoft started their media briefing off strong today showcasing titles like Modern Warfare 3 and Gears of War 3, there was even a new look at last year’s Codename: Kingdoms, now renamed Ryse, which will run on the powerful Crytek engine (Crysis) and use Kinect’s motion technology. Unfortunately, like the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Microsoft’s briefing quickly started to fall apart towards the end. That is, until they debuted Halo 4..."
TechNoid writes: "Microsoft accidentally leaked their E3 line-up, which features the mysterious Ryse. But wait, wasn't Ryse registered by Crytek?"
I think it's already over stayed it's welcome. It can disappear again and never surface again for all I care.
It looked good, but it was too short, and didn't it look like another rail game? I was hoping that it would use kinect to a minimum.
Waste of an 'excusivity contract' with a big name dev if you ask me. Expected so much more from this.
GameDynamo - "The Electronic Entertainment Expo is a show on par with some of the most sought after trade shows in America, showing us all how far video games have come in the last decade. One of the heavy hitters in the show is, of course, Microsoft. It might seem as if there isn't a whole lot in store from the software giant other than Kinect games, but we've been surprised before, so we might be surprised again. So far, there are a few confirmed and rumored titles we've gathered from various sources that Microsoft followers should keep on the radar."
I'm hoping for new exclusives and IPs, but I fear most of their offerings will be Kinect shovelware. ¬_¬
I don't know where to begin. Every next big release 'pushes the system to it's limits'. I guess in this time I will believe it. crytech is a violently awesome engine, and if they use it to it's it's max capacity, the 360 will have to pull everything it has inside to run it. I would even say the game needs an install.
Edit: I didn't say anything about the console, other than the 360 will have to step up it's game with Crysis's friggin engine. You bring the PS3 into this because you are a troll. All AAA have articles that push game consoles to their limits. Gear 2, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, all claimed this. Now look at 2011 we are getting their 3rd installments and they look twice as good as thier predecessor. You are being a jerk and are reported for your unneccessary comment.
Does anyone know what genre this game is?
I would love it if it were a mixture of Master of Magic and Elder Scrolls.
If anyone can push hardware limits its Crytek, does this mean its going to be an amazing game, who knows?
All I know is, im interested!!
<3 Crytek.. This could be GOTY 2011
yeah... sure it will...
