What does Silicon Knights have to do with Crytek and Ryse?

The curse of Lair caused the closure of Zipper Interactive.

Seems like MS wasted millions of dollars funding a game that failed and don't even get a franchise out of it.

If it was profitable, I don't think its considered a waste.

Sounds like it did pretty well if MS wanted to do more. Buying the IP seems like something MS could do at this rate as well.

Why in the world would anyone fight over Ryse? Such an awful game.


this statements only come from some reviewers and pepole who did not play it.

most people how actual palyed the game liked it. solid decent game.

 

 

after all this "news" now, its even more an accomplishment.



Metrium on 26 June 2014

To be honest, the fact that anyone would be willing to even consider the possibility of making a Ryse2 ibaffles me.

Its a curse of MS putting money into companies who arent even close to being the best to make trilogies for them. Silicon Knights failed and were so bad Epic told them to stop using their engine. Crytek has their own engine, but their games are underwhelming even though they are graphically beautiful. MS wanted a trilogy out of them for Ryse I am sure. MS needs to just make a team and have them make ryse. How hard is that? Its like they have very little faith in their first party to make new ips.

The first game was really good, but not great. I think MS sees the potential is has and the void it could fill in their lineup. Crytek would be stupid not to give it up.

They are probably going to give it up, but they might auction it off instead of just giving it to micro like say epic did with gears.



Thanks jlmurph!

Two companies fighting over something nobody wants
Amusing.

LOL 0.91M thus far on next gen development cost. Don't forget this game was announced for X360 Kinect at E3 2010 and was delayed for years until Crytek scrapped the Kinect style and used the assets for what you see today. There is no way in hell this is profitable. Just because MS wanted more of it doesn't mean it did well. They just want more first party IP's to compete with and they'll use cash like toilet paper to do so.
