Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Digital Foundry Next-Gen Now: Ryse: Son of Rome (Drops Below 20fps)

Tagged games:

"Short, immensely repetitive, and only really playable in short bursts without boredom setting in"

Yikes. What an embarrassment.



Around the Network

Title changed for accuracy... some part holds avg. 20fps with drops to 16-18 fps.



Richard Leadbetter already warned us in a tweet that Ryse wasn't better looking that Killzone guys.

After watching the DF video, no one can sanely say Ryse is better technically than Killzone, it is not even anymore a contest, let me summarize to you:

- Most of the cinematics are not real time but movies. All the great cinematics which were supposed to equal KZ were in fact... pre-rendered movies.
- Framerates hovers at 28fps most of the time. Not even locked at 30fps by the way (saw 32fps) and go as low as 16fps. Often hovers at 26fps.
- 99% of play time is juddered as much as 1% time in COD Ghosts on PS4. If Polygon were scoring COD lower because of judder... they would have scored Ryse -198/10 and not 6/10
- 900p25fps Ryse VS 1080p50fps Killzone, KZ display 3 times the pixels of Ryse with big open worlds, and first view taxing perspective for 3D engine vs god of war 3D engine. Yes, 3 times you can re-count.

What a double disappointment (technical & scores) for the X1 most beautiful and hyped game! Seriousley Forza 5 at 1080p60fps is almost more technically impressive!

BTW the Eurogamer DF article has been shut down!! EDIT: article still there, probably my Internet connection

My god, it is like a roman tragedy in live!!



And suddenly, all those XO fanboys are quiet.

So they used FMV sequences for cut scenes after all.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

You can watch the video... the parts without framerate analysts are FMV.

I wish Selnor wasn't banned, it's no fun without him.

In before xb1 fanboy claims you cant notice bad frame rates on most TVs



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Sub 20 at times? What kind of joke is this. Let's hope this is just bad optimization on Cryteks part...
