Ryse on Xbox One has the best real time graphics

Ryse

The Xbox One may have the least bit of push in the hardware department, but it’s also home to the single game in the last year with the best real time graphics. That’s according to SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques), the annual conference on graphic related malarkey.

Ryse, Son of Rome has bagged the award for the best real time graphics in any game over the last year.

“Ryse was released last November for Xbox One, and has impressed players and press around the world with its groundbreaking visuals,” says Crytek. “During the game’s development there was a special emphasis on realistic characters and immersive story-telling; all of which helped to catch the eye of SIGGRAPH’s judging panel and earn Ryse a top spot in their Computer Animation Festival awards.

Ryse: Son of Rome was released last year as a launch title for the Xbox One, and it’s true – it really is one of the most visually impressive games available on any platform right now. It’s just a pity that in true Crytek style, the game is all style and little substance.

The game was universally panned by critics, who awarded it top marks for graphics, but scored it low on fun.

Eurogamer – 5/10: There’s no brains, no muscle, no fibre beneath Ryse’s extravagantly engineered good looks – this game rings loud but hollow. Crytek likes to contrast Marius’ moral strength with the vanity and cruelty of Nero and his made-up sons, but Ryse feels like a product of their dying empire. It’s just empty decadence.

Joystiq – 2.5/5 : Ryse: Son of Rome falls into the trap of your typical launch game: it does well to show off the power of the system, but it’s slim on substance. Production value aside,Ryse is short, easy and lacks the punch of other action games. For all of it’s pomp and flash, Ryse: Son of Rome is a shallow bore.

Polygon – 6/10: It’s a gorgeous, dark and bloody tableau. But all that visual beauty and dramatic gravitas goes to waste with an aimless plot and a monotonous combat system. Ryse has all the guts of next-gen — often quite literally — but none of the glory.

The award does how highlight that for all its failings, it is capable of pushing out eye-ball melting graphics. Just not in 1080p and 60fps, which is the standard measure for fun, right? It also shows that no matter how pretty a game is, it doesn’t mean it’s any good to play.

    I agree. The artist who worked on this are amazing and probably one of the first implementations of PBR really made their work shine. I guess with all Crytek games; they are better to be seen as tech demos.

      Exactly! Ryse’s facial animation is stunning though, but it still boils down to Crytek merely pumping out tech demos – in other words, pretty but shallow.

      The setting is a win for me. I always wanted a game about Ancient Rome. I might pick this one up when microsoft drops the price of the boner by another R2500. The sweet spot for me (for a boner) is under R3000. At this rate, I might be able to get a boner in 2015 or 2016.

    I saw the thread on Neogaf last night. I honestly think that Crytek deserves the award though, but will there be any one to collect the reward?

    (I still think that Killzone SF and Infamous blow it out of the water in terms of technical mastery (from stable framerates to pretty graphics to even resolution), but that doesn’t take away the sheer prettiness of Ryse).

    Reviewers say one thing and gamers are saying another thing about the game. Sometimes you have to look the other way and trust the reviews of users or you’ll be only be stuck playing AAA games.

      For me the awakening came with Dragon’s Dogma! Reviews mean shit! Don’t let others tell you what you should like or not. If you like Ryse and enjoyed it, it really shouldn’t matter what other people say. To this day I enjoyed knack. I even enjoyed Spec ops: The Line before it became hipster cool.

          Those were the days. I also remember getting a game mag (EGM or PSM) from the local paperweight and devouring it while I play the demo disks. The media side of gaming has really gone to the dogs…. :/ Now it’s… who can get the most clicks from flamebait and who can score the most “for pay” reviews…

      True that, the game is very pretty and beautiful, I still play it! ????. Although they could’ve done so much more with it sadly, they were obviously rushed! This should also have been delayed rather! ????

        I think the primary focus on making it a kinect game really hurt it, but then also Crytek’s always been limited on the story side. If they had nailed story, Ryse could have been a must-have franchise.

        As I already said, the setting itself makes me excited.

    Reviewers say one thing and gamers are saying another thing about the game. Sometimes you have to look the other way and trust the reviews of users or you’ll be only be stuck playing AAA games.

      For me the awakening came with Dragon’s Dogma! Reviews mean shit! Don’t let others tell you what you should like or not. If you like Ryse and enjoyed it, it really shouldn’t matter what other people say. To this day I enjoyed knack. I even enjoyed Spec ops: The Line before it became hipster cool.

        Remember the good ol’ days when a score of 70% meant you should actually play the game? Media is far too hyped these days with sponsorships influencing the whole build-up to the final product. Dare I say I enjoyed DmC and Crysis 1, 2 and 3.

          Those were the days. I also remember getting a game mag (EGM or PSM) from the local paperweight and devouring it while I play the demo disks.

    from the video’s and gameplay I’ve seen it does look enjoyable to me, what I think is people expected too much, it’s always like that. Build a lot of hype and when the game releases they feel a disappointment because they let their fantasy blind them for too long. people seem to forget that Crytek is a studio that is not well not for developing good story lines.

    Critics are retards. If they expect “substance” in a hack-n-slash, they should slash their wrists until enough “substance” comes out and they shut up.

    Yea I agree graphics was nice gameplay was gory with those combos. But the story was dry. Although we knew what was Goin on. Revenge for father’s death.

    Except that it was technically inferior to Infamous Second Son in practically every way. I suppose aesthetics are personal opinion, but if you’re not going to base the award on technical feats, then it’s little more than an opinion on art.

    This is just another reason I dont trust reviews. At first I was put off by reviews and passed but I picked it up for 25$ and beat it 4 times. Just makes me wonder what other great experiences ive missed out on as I tend to let reviews sway me.
