Ryse Son Of Rome. Best graphics of all next gen titles from a technical standpoint says IGN.

Hmm, I remember when one of the best looking games last gen, God of War III, got so much criticism for only looking so good because it was linear and had a fixed camera. I wonder what happened to all that? This has the same exact characteristics, except still not as complex and nowhere near as entertaining. Sure, chopping guys up is cool, but it get's boring if that's all you do for the duration of the story, especially when there's allegedly little variation in the enemies you kill and the tools you use to do so.

But, I guess if some guy on IGN says that this is best looking next gen launch title, we can just take it as fact.

 

The gameplay of God of War wasn't exactly great, it’s just a button masher with an occasional puzzle. It’s the story that made GoW a success. Just look at the sales of GoW: Ascension if you don't believe me. Garbage story and modest sales.

Based on what we've seen, I don't believe Ryse has a fixed camera like God of War.

It’s too early to say which has a better fighting system. We’ve only played GoW of and it’s a button masher.

 

Actually, I think it's more a case of franchise fatigue. After God of War 3 we had the 2 HD remakes, the Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta for PSP plus the HD remakes on PS3. Ascension is essentially just another spin off title that didn't really add anything new to the formula (OK there was multiplayer, but I didn't really feel it added anything new).

There are only so many epic battles a player and go through before they stop being epic.
