Crytek Asks About Ryse: Son Of Rome, Gets Huge Response From Xbox Fans

Ryse: Son of Rome was one of the games that made me want an Xbox One at launch. But due to being an eight year old and the ludicrous price of the Xbox one in 2013, I got a PS4 a year later.

I didn't have an Xbox last gen but recently played through Ryse on Series X and thoroughly enjoyed it. With a deeper combat system, more varied enemies and perhaps a slightly longer campaign, I'd certainly return for more.

I love Ryse it was such a fun time and still looks amazing today. I’d love a new game with newer graphics.

The IP is owned by Microsoft isn’t it?

Really an underrated gem. I hope they do visit it again.

Ryse was an amazing game, first thing I played on my series x. They definitely need a second one.

Looked impressive but I never actually got round to playing it and still haven't despite owning Game Pass. It just hasn't 'appealed' more than other games I have access to - either on a Sub service (like Game Pass), in my Backlog or just around the corner that I don't want to 'start' something else - so I never got round to trying it.

Funny how a couple of 3rd Party developed 'exclusives' from the early days of XB1 seem to be hot topics today - Ryse & Quantum Break. Obviously Dead Rising 3 & Titanfall went on to release multi-platform sequels and now Sunset Overdrive devs are owned by Sony so these 'IP's' are not likely to be discussed in terms of 'returning' to Xbox.

Also shows how MS had basically relied on 3rd Party 'exclusives' to compete and really only had Forza, Halo and Gears from 1st party for the XB1 era - and relied on 3rd Parties to bring Forza Horizon and Crackdown 3 to Xbox. Adding Mojang didn't bring 'exclusives' and Rare were working on Sea of Thieves. However that changed when MS opted to merge this small separate 'Gaming' brand they owned into Microsoft and therefore needed to build up its own First Party Studios, its portfolio of IP's etc.

I'd like MS to own Crytek - Own Crysis, own Ryse and Hunt: Showdown, own the Cry-engine tech too....

This game was amazing looking at the time and still is, but my God was it BORING as heck, traded it in after a week and spent most of my early X1 years playing MCC and FH2 instead.

I would rebuy it if they gave it 60FPS and new textures etc etc. i played the heck out of Ryse and Titanfall on Xbox One. Neither went on to be a foothold in the market. But they were so fun to me and some of my favorite games on the console.

Last gen started so strong in showing the capabilities of that generations consoles with both Ryse and The Order. It’s a shame this gen hasn’t seen anything like that yet (outside of the matrix demo).
Having said that…both are mediocre games. Ryse looked ‘next gen’ for the time but gameplay was firmly stuck in the previous generation…maybe even that’s being kind. Boring QTE filled gameplay that saw you killing the same 3 or 4 NPCs throughout whilst you tried to awkwardly navigate ladders and issue commands whilst the framerate struggled on.
Remove the visuals and I don’t personally see the desire in it needing a sequel. 🤷🏻

Ryse would have to play better than it did it got very repetitive very quickly

looked good and setting and story were good

I think Ryse was was one of the most underrated games of last gen and it still looks good today. An upres and 60FPS boost for the Series consoles would be great.

I would be interested in a sequel.

Ryse 2 could be good if as this time it could be an action game from the start. The main character is human (not a god), but the crazy violent fighting of the original is closer to GoW than turning the Senua series into something like GoW 2018.

Was an amazing looking game at the time. But the game play was so linear and repetitive. When you did a killing spree there was about 4 kill animations that you just saw over and over again.

@BAMozzy It really saddens me that we’ll never see another dead rising. Capcom killed off the studio that was a joint partnerships with Microsoft. Killing that studio basically means no Microsoft money, no Dead Rising; so 5 was cancelled… A dead rising 5 could have been a Series X|S launch title.

I absolutely enjoyed Ryse. Though I never played it before on Xbox. I originally played it on my first “gaming” PC, and now I replay the game every time I get a new PC hardware.

I would love to see more Ryse. Quite enjoyed the game and its unique camera views/angles.

I liked this game, looked amazing for its time but the gameplay needs some overhaul. I'm in for a sequel or prequel ...

It certainly was a looker and the story had its moments, but boy is the gameplay am absolutely tedious, repetitive slog. It was the One's equivalent of The Order 1886.

@JetmanUK I agree one of the most underrated games of the generation. Critics slaughtered it at the time and the Xbox had its awful reputation after the reveal of the One, it stood no chance I feel.

I only played it after getting the X myself and went in knowing the reputation it had, I was surprised and blown away. It looks phenomenal, the combat is meaty and satisfying and the story was great imo. I understand the criticism of it being repetitive but for me it felt like the purest kind of gaming fun. Loved it.

Been reading a few articles on this and apparently this time round it will be on playstation as well. With the first game they went to Microsoft to publish the game due to their PC connections but Crytek fully own the IP and do not need to use Microsoft as a publisher if they make a sequel.

Loved this game, it was one of the reasons I bought an xbox one

Good looking but basic and repetitive combat. Same for Quantum Break.

It wasn't a bad game and was kind of fun, but it did kind of drag along at times.
