I'm probably the only one getting an xbone one day just to play Ryse. Make fun of it all you want. it's still the current gen game I want to play the most.

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.


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.


Regardless if MS published the game or not. Neither of us know the break down into how much MS funded into this game. Rumors and insiders are claiming that Crytek is not paying staff or having financial trouble and Ryse is linked to this somehow according to them. It's a forum of comments and opinions so I really don't care if don't like mine or not..



Good, this industry will not tolerate suck.



This is what you get when you only care about graphics!!!



One thing i'd like to point out is that THIS is game's journalism. This is what games journalism should be: folks getting on the ground and finding out about important stuff that's going on. Sure it has a vulture-like feel of watching a company die for our amusement, but the article reads like an article you'd get at most media outlets.

Proves all is not lost for the medium.

What are the IPs that would be valuable for other studios or Sony/Microsoft?

Crysis IP is owned by EA.
Far Cry is owned by Ubisoft.
Ryse is partially owned by MS (?)

They own:
Timesplitter (Last game was 2005)
Haze
Homefront (was purchased for $500k last year)
Arena of Fate (free-to-play MOBA IP)
Warface (free-to-play FPS)
Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age (upcoming free-to-play FPS)



This is what happens when you open a game studio and forget to hire some game designers.

So.. we need something else for "can it run Crysis"?
I hoped they'll last long enough to have a smartphone that can run Crysis..

Crytek owms Crysis, EA just published the retail console versions. Other than that people will pay dearly to get Crytek's IP and CryEngine. All of them except maybe Haze have potential. 

 

 



Yesterday they denied these rumors but if they aren't paying salaries then they must be doing pretty badly.
