No, you press Square, Triangle, or O. You get so many options.

 

OT: I'm very curious to see this game. Looks like a lot of effort is going into it.

Ha ha! Yes, X, Y A, B so much different!

Usually, I get concerned when a game talks a long time and more people get involved. But as Bioshock Infinite has shown, it could be for good reasons.

I think this game will either hit big or flop terrible because of gameplay.  Doesn't seem to be any room for a middle ground.  Looking forward to some hands on gameplay.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I personally think it looks cool but trust me, this game won't hit big. Its a guaranteed flop. A few hundred thousand copies lifetime. You read it here first.

No man.... not one bit.

Can you explain, how do you think it resembles Darksiders?

Well having the experience of the guys that worked on Darksiders is definitely a plus. Should help improve the gameplay no end, especially as Crytek have never made a game like this before.

No? The game I remembered when whatched the combat system of Ryse was Darksiders... there are a lot in common... the way the qte's works after hitting several times the enemies... I think it is a pretty good combat system... not a downplay.

No. In Darksiders you use combos, distance attacks, jumps, hit multiple enemies at once.



What else do you think looks similar between Darksiders and Ryse? (btw, the Vigil guys have had no imput in the gameplay we're seeing right now in Ryse videos, since they came into development just a few months ago)

Even Skyrim in third person looks more like Ryse combat.

Just the combat system... Ryse looks way more like Darksiders than Skyrim... I even said the combat system resembles Darksiders in May.

"use combos, distance attacks, jumps, hit multiple enemies at once." - that's what I saw in Ryse except the jump... the action is a little more slow but the combat system seems similar like you can choose to finish the enemies with fast qtes or just hitting them... maybe a evolution from what we saw in Darksiders.

So this news today looks to me no surprise at all.

I'll take that bet. I say it does over 1 mill lifetime easily

since you must have already finished the game, please avoid spoilers.

Spoiler alert!

You kill people by pressing X.

It's identical to God of War! Great comparison!
