The graphics are jaw dropping and this is coming from someone who has Crysis 3 for PC. The animations and character models might be the best I've seen in a game so far.

Crytek's technical skill is second to none. Let's hope the gameplay lives up to the visuals. If so then I'm picking this game up with Forza this Christmas.

That looks better than anything else I've watched for the game so far. Seeing as watch dogs has been delayed, I may switch it to Ryse to compliment Forza 5 and Fifa 14.

I am not sure if you are watching the same videos.  The 2 videos actually compliment each other as one gives you and understanding or clue to a piece of the story which could unfold, while the 2nd video gives a insight in Marius motovation and maybe even betrayal.

I am more interested in Ryse now then I was before.

Ok i see that but just the second video has nothing about super natural stuff in it. I had no clue they were going after the God Of War in Roman times till now. 

This game has gotten so much flack since its debut. I really hope the gameplay is at least acceptable because it looks amazing.

This is fast becoming everyones number 1 game for launch. Even over Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3. Some fans got to play this recently, expected it to be rubbish because of the internet fanboys whinning about QTE's and lacklustre combat ( supposedly ) and they came out thinking it was the number 1 launch title to get. Said it was simply stunning.

This game is gonna be awesome.

Heres the lucky little fans who tried The One early. And their comments. GO CRYTEK!

Dat 11.500 meals!

I wish they add RPG elements though.

I believe Crytek wants to keep the story closed off as much as possible.  Since the game is billed as a character/story driven game, I believe they do not want to reveal to much and let gamers discover their plot points themselves.  As to the supernatural stuff, in the MP, they showed you could call on a Gods power so there was some clue there.
