Kinect-focused functionality was left behind when Son Of Rome's concept fitted Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli's vision better.

The Kinect version of Ryse shown at E3 was just one of three working demos Crytek was working with VideoGamer.com has been told.

James Goddit, producer at Microsoft, explained that while Son Of Rome still features voice and gesture Kinect commands, the focus back to the controller took place due to it better suiting what the studio was aiming for.

Goddit also confirmed that Ryse will launch alongside the Xbox One, run at 30 frames per second and have a multiplayer component of some kind.

The graphics and setting were phenomenal. I can't understand why they made laughing stock of the game by making it a QTE-fest.

Also I'm confused by this sentence:

"The Kinect version of Ryse shown at E3"

I thought the version we saw at MS' conference was played with a regular controller.

I assumed they meant last E3. Or maybe the one before. I forget.

Hint to Crytek: Drop the QTEs like you dropped kinect, it looked insteresting.

the game looks phenomenal IMO but "the focus back to the controller took place due to it better suiting what the studio was aiming for." this basically says one "the game cant be played fully with kinect". not like that atleast.

was it all qtes!? I thought they were like finishing/special moves or something. It was my game of the show ;( ...WAS

the game looked impressive. Although I'll have to play it myself to judge the gameplay. Chopping up limbs looked satisfying too :D

Ryse looked great to bad MS showed off a lot of great games that I would love to buy/rent. But I won't support DRM.

I don't know but something must be seriously lacking about the combat system if every second move is a QTE.
