the limited and repetitive gameplay make Ryse difficult to actually recommend as a prospective purchase.

You should have bolded this. It's right before what you did bold.

RYSE IS THE BEST LOOKING AND MOST TECHNICALY IMPRESSIVE CONSOLE LAUNCH TITLE ON ANY MACHINE.

Now lets get the graphics awards for consoles out of the way this year. Ryse will clean up.

Then next year I think it will be either Quantum Break or Halo 5. Both release next year. Man I don't know who will take it.

Best console graphics for 2014 could be either 343i or Remedy. Both have amazing talent. And both games will release late in the year.

Xbox One is on fire. Not only has it got the most impressive graphics so far in the face of adversity ( resolutiongate ) But after seeing the clips of Quantum Break gameplay ( looks like high quality CGI ) and knowing what 343i did with Halo 4, First party devs on Xbox One are making everyone look pretty stupid.

No, Ryse looks good because it is on rails linear, has little going on, and is 900 p and less then 30 FPS.

Next year Uncharted, Infamous, Witcher 3 are more likely to be graphics king.

Shadow fall with its huge draw distance and vbaslty more particle effects and higher res and framerate are more impressive then Ryse. Nowhere in this article does it say it is more impressive then shadow fall, in fact it highlights several; short comings.

Digital Foundry dont say something is the best unless its technically the best.

Having played both SF clarity on textures, models and animations is clearly behind Ryse. Uncharted last gen never had people saying yea but its linear.

Rye looks significantly better in many areas over SF. Lighting, textures, models, environments ( yes you have to see Edge Of the World or The King levels. Even Collosium. ) Its amazing from start to finish. Amazing.

I dont thin a PS4 game will win next year either. I believe that first party Microsoft games are using the different architecture properly. Also theres the rumour that first party devs have the more updated dev its and software befroe 3rd parties. Which would help to explain resolutiongate.

Im saying it here and now like I did with Ryse. Quantum Break or Halo 5 will win best graphics next year.

I think people are getting a bit over excited about the visuals of Ryse. Yes it looks great, but it's still a launch game. 5 Years from now people will be looking back thinking how anyone could have been so impressed by this. Just give it some time to see what Naughty Dog will do on the ps4. It's not exactly a secret that the ps4 has the upperhand when it comes to horsepower and they are one of those developers that are pretty good at squizing the performance out of it.

And yes it is a linear game with extemely tiny enviroments to manouver in. Off course Uncharted is linear as well, but that was impressive stuff last gen. For the next gen, people should expect more open levels and destrucibility. Besides, from what I seen of the Witcher3 it already takes a giant leap over this game tbh.

I'm saying it here and now that is a fuckton of bullshit and you're going to eat your words next year, or you would if you didn't conveniently turn a blind eye on everything playstation.

Xbox developers are going to use the different architecture properly...and Playstation developers are too stupid to utilize the Playstation hardware, which is stronger no matter how you spin it, to its fullest? It's mighty fucking arrogant to assume something like this based on 2 launch games.

Also I'm pretty sure I remember you arguing about Crysis 2 being more technically impressive than Killzone 3 because it had larger more open levels, well what happened to that argument?

Having all of the most stunning games along with game of the year/gen contenders come out constantly on the PS3 last gen has clearly deluded some folkes and made them desperate. The fact that Selnor even compared Ryse in the same breathe as Uncharted 2 and claimed he preferred Ryse is pretty messed up.

All of the most stunning games and GOTYs were constantly on PS3 last gen?

Yeah, maybe if last-gen started around holiday 2009 and we weren't including multiplatform titles that were inferior and in some cases damn near unplayable on PS3 lol. Apparently Sony fans have already started blocking out the "pre-PS3 Slim" years of last gen.
