Forums - Microsoft - Ryse: Son of Rome wins SIGGRAPH Award for Best Real-Time Graphics

Vasto on 05 August 2014

 

Ryse: Son of Rome, Crytek’s exhilarating next-gen title, has earned itself a prestigious SIGGRAPH award for Best Real-Time Graphics.

Ryse was released last November for Xbox One, and has impressed players and press around the world with its groundbreaking visuals. During the game’s development there was a special emphasis on realistic characters and immersive story-telling; all of which helped to catch the eye of SIGGRAPH's judging panel and earn Ryse a top spot in their Computer Animation Festival awards.

SIGGRAPH is the leading annual festival on computer graphics and interactive techniques, and is running this year from 10 August, 2014 until 14 August, 2014 in the Vancouver Convention Center, Canada.

Crytek will be attending SIGGRAPH 2014 and sharing more on the techniques that brought Ryse to life through a series of presentations. These include:

In addition, from Monday, August 11 – Wednesday, August 13, Ryse will feature in the Electronic Theater – an eclectic showcase of the finest work in computer graphics from the past 12 months. For full details on Crytek's participation at SIGGRAPH, visit the official Crytek blog.

From what I played so far Ryse has the best graphics in terms of sheer fidelity in a linear space. Those set pieces were absolutely draw dropping. 

Only thing that needed tune up was the combat :(

Not really surprising, the game looks gorgeous.
I love it. Combats could be better but the story was fine so I enjoyed it a lot.

Hope the next one will be as good (and not cancelled) :)

I just hope that the sequel is still in the works because I really enjoyed Ryse.

Well deserved; it's still the best looking 8th gen exclusive.

Too bad that's all it has.

Wow, I thought infamous would get it. I haven't played either game though. I've only seen a little gameplay on twitch and youtube.

I am playing through Infamous right now and it looks very good but Ryse is still my #1. Killzone Shadowfall gets my #2 with Infamous coming in at #3.

Interesting. Good to know X1 still has the best looking game!
