Just like here, when there is good Ryse footage, it's crickets. When there is the slightest of bad footage that's when the trolls come out.

I understand that media and fans are quite happy with the singleplayer. Its the initial bugfest mp that looked bad. I agree, there was alot of glitches and camera issues in mp. Hopefully thats being finished. Cause the singleplayer looks really smooth now. And its good to know combat has good depth and isnt about button mashing and executions. 

Quick let me start a petition to get this game on ma ps4!!!

they should have looked at spartacus for inspiration for this though. that show was amazing and it really nailed the gladiator/roman atmosphere. they should have taken note about how to do both combat and presentation. in spartacus there were many styles of fighting. two sords, sword and shield, spear and small shield and so on, adding those options to the gameplay could have added some serious depth, dynamic combat and some more cinatmic moments in the game. but from what i seen it will all just have single combat system of shield+sword. 

I'll have to check the vid later but i had no doubts about this game. Crytek is a topnotch studio!

Well that would certainly explain the shitty MP issues. I hope Crytek helps them clean them up before launch.

So basically its inspired by the Assassins Creed kill chain-system. Now I see what they meant when they said it involved chain kills. I thought they were talking about combo-chains.

I was just playing AC3 and it reminded me of the combat in AC3 lol

Yeah, everyone is copying AC these days. Batman Arkham City based their combo chain system off of the fundamental person-to-person combat style of AC. Seems like Ryse is taking a crack at it as well, but adding little close up qte sequences.

Looks visually stunning. If the gameplay is even average this game is going to be a joy to play through.
