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.

To be fair you say it is the most technically impressive launch title, Digital foundry did not seem to agree with this statement, however they did say it was one of the most technically impressive.

Digital Foundry dont make a statement that one is better than the other unless its technically superior.

With Ryse you seem also to be leaving the bit out where they categorically state:

""That said, if you really want a taste of what we can expect from the next generation of consoles, Ryse towers over the rest."

Not on Xbox One. Its very clear Next Generation of Consoles.

Trust me Selnor I agree that Ryse looks awesome, and I understand that DF wrote ""That said, if you really want a taste of what we can expect from the next generation of consoles, Ryse towers over the rest.", but they also wrote "Ryse is a beautiful game and stands as one of the most technically impressive next-generation titles we've seen to date."

I'm pretty sure what Digital Foundry is saying in their verdict that Ryse isn't the most technically impressive game, although it looks the most pleasing graphically.

These Digital Foundry threads are always interesting because you get people arguing over interpretations of what's written like this is the bible. It's very similar to what has happened to John Lucas' post in his thread.

Anyway carry on, just something that popped into my head while reading the last few posts.


I do agree. Any DF articles do have wordings tha say one of the best etc etc.

But this is clearly very clear. Unless you dont understand the english language. This is not a dig. Its just that this is very very clear. DF didnt beat around the bush with this.

Unfortunately not. I wish we could stop the Neogaf threads and posters also.

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?

DF doesn't say that nor have they even did their DF analysis on Shadow fall. Every other game looks and runs worse on x1.... Some victiory. Again, a linear game, on rail with very little going on, no particle effects, very limited, if thats the only way the x1 can get impressive visuals, that says it all.

 

Funny, how you are downplaying DF article on Forza, btu twisting this one the oppsite to be some definitive vistory and twisting their words.....The irony in your psots is hilarious.

No, Ryse looks good because it uses techniques from the God of War series.

 


So if it looks good, who cares why it looks good?  The bottom line is it looks good. Isn't that all that matters as far as graphics are concerned?  I'm no graphic whore but I like what I see.

The person most responsible for Halo 4 looking so good has jumped ship...To Naughty Dog. Just thought you should know.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
