Ryse: Son of Rome

[Flawless]

Exclusive for Xbox One from Crytek.

Looks nice visually, it's Crytek after all, but the QTEs are disappointing. Animations need quite a bit of work too.


Polygon - Ryse: Son of Rome's seven-year road to E3

Since 2006, when Yerli thought up the idea that would become Ryse, the game has changed art styles, settings and development teams. It's gone over budget and shifted from first-person to third-person, from Xbox 360 to Xbox One and from gamepad controls to motion controls and back again.

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

this game looks really good, though as the ign analyst said the button timing combat is not a sexy feature.

Game of QTE: Rome.

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

With the QTE and that quote there Flawless, definitely not a system seller game.

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

Only Rome game worth looking at E3


I hope the barbarians in Ryse are just place holders since all of them were bald warriors......I picture them more like the pic...

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

I like the look of it being a huge history fan, especially Roman. However since I don't see myself getting an Xbox this generation I'll have to find a friend and give it a try.
Like Goffs said, Rome 2 Total war is the real Roman prize of E3

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

Easily the best looking game at E3, one of the team members said the QTE's won't be as often in the real game and they only did it at E3 to show off some cool looking finishing moves. This game will definitely be a launch title for me!

Once they made it non-Kinect that got me on board. I'll have this at launch.

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

This game may very well be the game that makes me get a XBOne. Wow. Game is my cup of tea.

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

This looks awesome. I wish that there were more games that were during the Roman Empire. Too bad I am going with the PS4, it really sucks this is only on XBox One.

[WTF]

Re: Ryse: Son of Rome

Exactly, I have the PS4 preordered, came across the title, watched the video, prayed it was multi platform. Saw Microsoft Studios... cried a little

This is RIGHT up my alley.

Some news and new pics of Ryse from Comic Con.

During a panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego, Microsoft Studios and Crytek revealed brand-new story and character details for their upcoming Xbox One exclusive launch title, “Ryse: Son of Rome.” Cinematics Director Peter Gornstein and Producers Michael Read and Justin Robey discussed the creation of “Ryse: Son of Rome’s” storyline and characters, demoed its Xbox SmartGlass application, and shared a behind-the-scenes look at the game’s cinematic performance capture technology.

“Ryse: Son of Rome” follows Marius Titus, a young Roman soldier who must avenge the murder of his family at the hands of barbarian bandits. As he rises through the ranks of the Roman army, Marius’ quest for vengeance will take him to the barbarian-infested shores of Britannia, and eventually straight into the heart of Rome.

Microsoft also announced a new Digital, Interactive Graphic Novel inspired by “Ryse: Son of Rome” – “Ryse: Sword of Damocles” – which is available now online at Xbox.com/Ryse/comic.

Reading and interacting with the Graphic Novel unlocks collectibles that can be redeemed in “Ryse: Son of Rome” post-launch for in-game bonuses that provide an early edge in the game’s multiplayer.

More details about Marius as well as the new characters Crytek revealed at the Comic-Con panel are below:

Marius. The hero of “Ryse: Son of Rome,” Marius is a young soldier with a strong sense of duty who is completely dedicated to Rome and her ideals. Initially eager to fight against Rome’s enemies and expand the Empire, he soon realizes that Rome is vulnerable to an even more insidious threat than the barbarians he faces on the battlefield. Ever loyal to Rome, he resolves to rid the Empire of her true enemies.

Vitallion. A wise and charismatic general who has served Rome for decades, Vitallion has fought in many campaigns and serves as a mentor to Marius. As events transpire he begins to wonder if duty has its limits, and whether self-restraint is always the correct course of action.

Nero. Nero, Emperor of Rome, struggles to maintain his grip on power. He promotes his two sons Commodus and Basillius to powerful positions, letting them take control of the rebellious province of Britannia. Nero feels threaten by all potential rivals and exacts ruthless retribution against anyone who crosses him.

Commodus and Basillius. As governor of Britannia, Nero’s eldest son, Commodus, sees himself as a god, and the people of Britannia as his subjects. His reign is characterized by brutal repression. Nero’s youngest son, Basillius, enjoys anything carnal or cruel. At the Colosseum he delights in watching gladiators kill each other, and lords over the terrified slaves he keeps in his harem in the bowels of the structure.

Boudica. The daughter of King Oswald, the ruler of the Britons. Strong and resilient, Boudica hates Rome, and with good reason: under Roman rule, her people are made to suffer horribly. When her father faces horrific retribution from a perceived insult, it galvanizes Boudica and she rallies her people to rise against their oppressors. Boudica is a principled woman and has the will to go to the ends of the world to save her people.

Oswald. Benevolent king of the Britons. He leads a rebellion against the tyrannical rule of Rome, but when the Romans brutally repress the rebels, Oswald submits to Roman dominance in hopes this will spare his people. His naivety leaves him vulnerable to the Romans.

Glott. Enigmatic leader of the Northern barbarians, rumored to be more beast than man. Very little is known about him except that he is fiercely independent and will make war on both the Romans and Oswald’s tribe.

The Spirit Gods. Immortal spirit, one who watches over humanity, guides Marius. She appears in mortal form, but radiates an otherworldly aura. Another (known in mortal form as Aquilo) seeks the destruction of Rome and allies himself with her enemies.
