I disagree, they haven't surveyed the tower...

It's not that much of a victory, Naughty Dog will show them who's boss in a year. I also thought the whole arguement about Halo was that since it was open, it couldn't compete with more linear games graphically? Here we have the more open Killzone vs the strictly linear Ryse and it is a very close fight, but Killzone runs at 30+fps (reportedly) at 1080p and Ryse runs at 30-fps at 900p.

It is definitely not a great victory

Its an awesome victory. If you get the chance, no matte what goggles anyone wears I'd love to film peoples faces when they are shown Edge Of the World for the first time on a big HD TV. Even PC folks are impressed. The lighting in this level is rediculous. And the clarity of the textures are stupidly real. But its when fighting starts it just looks surreal. Almost film like. And the boss battle in this level, well . Sod just at least owe to yourself to experience The King and Edge Of The World 2 levels one after the other.

As for Halo. Halo 4 by DF said it was right up the top fighting for supremecy when it released graphically. And that was after UC3 game out. So no 343i did a btter job last gen at making a much more open world game look and fight with linear games. With Ryse theirs a much more definitive Ryse Towers over "ALL"

I don't see how its "an awesome victory" Ryse is competing with Shadow Fall and despite you insisting it is the best looking game, views are divided. Most other games look worse on Xbox One, how is that a victory?

The article also says the game isn't fun...

Are you argueing that linear games don't make it more easy to impress than more open games?
