Well it would be good business sense to cancel Ryse 2. If you pour millions of dollars into a project and it reviews and sells like shit. You don't pour millions more into sequel regardless of how good it looked on a console. At this point, it's really just a shiny turd that lost you money.



Crytek.......meh..

I don't see what the article or your comment has to do about Cryteks money and this game. The game was a Microsoft published game. Crytek just owns the IP. Microsoft backed everything and that is why I don't believe this. A 2nd RYSE game would be funded by Microsoft unless Crytek didn't have a multiple game deal with Microsoft.



The pattern continues.

Crytek has always seem poorly run to me. Beautiful games but lacking in inspiration, and they expanded very quickly.

As I said in the other thread, I'd love to see Nintendo buy from them C-UK to make a shooter franchise and C-Austin and merge it with Retro to make adventure games. Give Crytek the money it needs to keep doing things. Hunt would make a fine fall Wii U release and the former Free Radical could eventually give it the Goldeneye 64 successor it needs.

A free-to-play business model seems like a poor decision though, and reeks of a desperate company.



The Vigil-guys just can't catch a break
