During this year’s Gamescom, Crytek showcased the PC version of Ryse: Son of Rome running at 4K. German website PCGames.de has captured the first in-game footage from the PC version of the game, and you can view the video below. Do note that this is off-cam footage, meaning that the game looks even better than what’s being displayed below. Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

off-screen footage. damn.
Response from the community my arse. Its a cash grab, they are trying to make up for lost sales.
So? I hate Crytek right now but using the “it’s a cash grab” excuse is pathetic. Crytek is stupid and I’ll hate them forever because they abandoned the PC platform. With that said, if they make a decent PC game.. then I may find it in my heart to forgive them. Let’s wait and see how the PC version of Ryse: Son of Rome plays before calling the game shit. I know how it was received by reviewers but at this point, I only care about the technical aspect of the game.
What do you mean so? As I said in my original post, it has nothing to do with “response from the community”. They are saying that to win back PC gamers, …AKA lying.
And the cash grab excuse is not pathetic at all, its the obvious truth.
Also Crytek are near bankrupt and Microsoft are looking to push back into PC gaming.
Someone should have considered that petition was a joke.
Holy shit, it looks stunning on PC! Much better than the blurred, Vaseline covered shit on XB1.
It is on my buy list just as the two recently announced MGS games. Finally we get “exclusives” on PC. And I am down with that.
Confirmed Ryse vs Arkham Knight graphics has begun
*sigh*
Here I am hoping that that 4K gaming trend doesn’t get put to bad use.
PC always suffer for bad ports, bad optimizations and stuff, but now every turd will receive the “4K Seal” and then sh!t will get annoying very quickly. Just like the “this is next gen” bs.
“Look at how we didn’t arbitrarily lock the resolution”
Yeah, some real effort they’re putting into this, huh. I also like how the guy said it was Crytek’s or CryEngine’s first 4K game. Like you can’t play Crysis 3 at 2160p which is what “4K” should be called. After all we don’t go around saying our monitors are “full HD” either, we say 1080p because as a PC gamer you have to know some basics of screen resolutions, might aswell call the resolution by something that accurately describes it rather than a marketing buzzword.
The person advertising Crytek in the video had no idea what he was talking about, not a PC gamer, probably not interested in games past COD/Madden at all.
It’s the problem with the game industry nowadays, the people managing it seems clueless about what they are dealing with.
To be honest it actually seems they’re making an effort for the PC version, keyboard and mouse support shown. It does look stunning no doubt but the game itself looks sh*t.
Yeah, I must say I was surprised to see mouse and keyboard prompts there.
Oh just shut up!, and take my parents money.
Haha.. Soon I’ll pay my own money.. 😀
Wow, I think I have never seen combat as weightless and artificial as in this, uh, game.
Can’t expect much from a game that was purely designed for Kinect.
Really? Out of any complaint, that’s the one you came up with? The combat LOOKS weighty and badass. That’s one of the best things about the game in my opinion.
It’s the typical hack n slash games that have combat that feels weightless and artificial with no real impact or precision to the movements. Just a bunch of wild swings and the enemy character spraying a little blood or sweat and getting knocked back a little with some crappy animation.
It sucks. Deal with it.
3:30 “uhh, for a combat game, uhh, most people would know that there’s a huge difference in playing between 30 and 60 frames”
Oh really? That’s odd coming from Crytek. I distinctly remember a much different tune coming out of their corner not too long ago. Let’s take trip down memory lane and relive the past.
“Developers always have to choose whether they go for 60 or 30fps,
depending on the type of game and complexity of the project. With Ryse,
we wanted to go for a very emotional experience with complex and
dramatic lighting, high fidelity environments, and rich characters and
character animations. So 30fps was our choice, and we believe that most
developers will go for richer worlds at 30 frames per second rather than
60fps – which would call for compromises, as 60fps demands twice the
amount of compute rendering speed. 30fps is a standard that is above,
for example, what most cinemas use for showing films. Early demos with
higher frame-rate experiences have shown that gamers and viewers have a
mixed opinion about its perceived quality – for example, how 48fps
cinema experiences were received. So it’s both a production design
choice as well as user research.” – Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek, 2013
If 30fps are so great and what you chose for Ryse, why isn’t the PC version locked at 30fps? And why is your own employee betraying your words? Up yours, Cevat Yerli.
he should say , 30fps because xbox one is shit console? and stay in crytek? lol dude they were under contract , he had to shit talk a bit
I’m just tired of the BS. Am I supposed to like it when these people lie through their teeth?
“he had to shit talk a bit”
Stop looking at things from the industry standpoint. Are you a shareholder? No you’re not, so stop trying to see things from their perspective. They do not deserve your empathy nor sympathy. You are the consumer, don’t forget that. Why do you put yourself in their shoes? You should be arguing for the other side, stupid. You know, the side you stand on.
As consumers we should always call them on their BS and demand the truth from them. Don’t make excuses for them. Why would you? You have nothing to gain from that. You think you look cool when you talk like an insider? What the hell is up with regular people trying to see things from the business standpoint?
just saying it how it is, i have no fixed view , whats up with you expecting some PR talk to be legit? you can see from miles away , he basically screams “console wasn’t strong enough” , there is not such thing as honest PR , they serve to suck clueless people in
No, I do not expect PR talk to be legit but why do you expect consumers to just take it while laying down and not saying a word?
You think you just “say it as it is”? No, you are making excuses for them. Let me put it this way. You are right that it is his job to tell lies and to bullshit people but it is our role as consumers to not accept that and to call bullshit instead of making excuses for him as to why he is lying and why he should be lying etc.
Take the latest Tomb Raider controversy for example. Because of the public outcry and people calling bullshit, Phil had to do some damage control and admitted publicly that the “exclusivity” for xbone is just going to be temporarily. That only happened because consumers stood up for their own interests.
Now, if everybody was as understanding and accepting of dishonest PR, that truth would not have come out because there would have been no public pressure on Microsoft to explain themselves. Being aloof and too cool for school has never accomplished anything.
But the chicks dude, being aloof and too cool for school brings in the chicks. 😛
That’s just normal PR talk. Any consumer with half a brain knows to never take that stuff at face value.
I really don’t understand why some people get so bent out of shape about things like that.
We all know the real reason is that the Xbox One wasn’t powerful enough to render visuals like those at 60fps.
Looks amazing but video was full of PR bullsh*t .
I don’t see any QTE. PC gamers don’t need them. We need chained combos.
Graphics here are pretty amazing. The designers took a lot of liberties with the Roman armor, though. It seems about as historically accurate as the clothing in Assasin’s Creed. Not that I’m complaining! Looks cool.
“Taking liberties” is putting it lightly. Its basically fantasy or your typical hollywood costume design. I actually have a book on ancient Roman uniforms in my desk lol… I could nerd rage for hours on the subject.
This is where Crytek belonged……… belongED!
i hope those pre-rendered cut scenes give their place to real time cut scenes on PC
And hopefully the game won’t fill my up my HDD.
They say as much in the video. But really? You’re excited about watching cutscenes??
not i’m not but i hate pre rendered cut scenes and Ryse is all about pre rendered cut scenes. and by the way, there is no gameplay in this game, it’s about some QTEs and cut scenes.
ryse is 3hr long, 1h50m cut scenes. and most of them if not all, are pre rendered cut scenes
Holy Shit! This is awesome! It seems Our Systems are going to cry if we play this game at ultra settings like crysis 3 did…!
If only Crytek improved the design. Ryse was a terrible game.
Casual console port. Looks 1:1 to me.

I really hope they do find success, in order to prove a very deep point about turning your back on your original fanbase.
Also even though off topic anybody see CD Projeckt Seems to have hit a wire by offering something to Xbone editions that both PC and PS4 won’t get in order to sell more copies.?
If only Crytek put this hard work on something like The Last Of Us or
Something like God Of War… then we can talk, cause the gameplay and combat system of
Ryse sucks.?
Last of us was practically a graphic novel with some action glimpses, God of War is just about mashing buttons and bland puzzles. NOT, they need to do a better game than those.

>Uploaded in 1080p
Incredible visuals. I was playing Crysis 3 earlier today and it reminded me just how amazing that game looks. There’s still no other game I have played on PC or PS4 that looks as good as Crysis 3. But Ryse is using even newer graphical techniques like physically based rendering so I have little doubt that Ryse will be the best looking game on the PC and easily better than anything on the consoles.
I personally have enjoyed most of Crytek’s games, so I think I will get at least a decent amount of enjoyment out of this game.
Yeah you have really good eyes.
