The gameplay of Ryse may not have impressed, but boy is it pretty. Crytek's new action game shows off how wonderous CryEngine games will look on next-gen. Three new videos from Microsoft show off the various environments you'll hack, slash, and QTE your way through.

Obviously, being the Son of Rome, you'll see your hometown. However, the game will also take you through the ruins of York and the "haunted swamps," home of the Minotaur King.

      I'm still curious about this game. It does seem to have improved a lot and I wonder if it didn't get panned so hard at E3, if people would be more excited about it now.

        Was it playable as a demo? Why did it get panned so hard?

      Does it bother anyone else that the wind is apparently blowing the rain in the opposite direction of the banner in the york video? (~40secs)

      Just got this from Every2minutes, shows only 80 left in stock now. Hoping to get enough caps for Forza 5 before it's out of stock, showing 138 in stock tonight.

        Games yes, but demos no. Don't think they've mentioned what games will or won't have demos.
