The game is antiquated as is. Who is going to want to play some old relic like Ryse when there's great software coming out later this year and in 2015 on PS4? Just watch somebody else play it online. It's a very dull game during much of its ride.

Irony? 

Sometimes strange things happen, you could be closer from truth than we imagine even while joking.

Unless Phill Spencer lied (or don't know much about the deals, both I find hard) he said TR were limited time and they didn't own the IP (and named DR3 as being the same case, not sure if he named Ryse) so what the dev/pub do after the deal time is their problem... so maybe the PC clause is shorter than PS4 or Phill haven't told the whole truth (console exclusive, but then the dev could say it) or it's like 3-5 exclusive on consoles, so they don't own, but removed from the platform basically.

That doesn't really explain anything about the lack of PS4 version of this perfect 60 game.

Does anyone even want Ryse though?

What ever happened with Crytek financial troubles? Just wondering. As a PlayStation owner, I have zero interest in Ryse. Never looked fun to me.

I am fairly indifferent about Rye at the moment -- maybe at the beginning of the year I would have wanted to play it simply because of the nice visuals and paucity of games on the ps4. However, right now I have no intention of wanting to play it. Even if it did release on ps4 I doubt the sales would justify the cost of developing the game.

I think they realise ryse would struggle to sell on the PS4 given it's history an general critique , not gonna be a huge seller on the PC either but they hope to tap in on 4k and graphics and sell the the engine.

PS4 owners are generally not interested in Ryse and they probably know it.
