Well Ryse used CryEngine so MS doesn't need to buy the IP in order to use the engine for future 1st party projects, but they seem to favor Unreal Engine 4 for their Games at the moment. Also remember that Ryse was a launch title and most likely rushed, I belive that if it were released today it could have run at Native 1080p and 30fps.

Good golly, you are right.  I had to load up the game, yes, it's just CryEngine.  I thought it was some special Ryse one, but nope, just the then current CryEngine.  It also says Microsoft Studios at the beginning - so they may have had more to do with the game than we know.  And I think you are right, today it would run a little better.  And I think probably even better again after DX 12/Windows 10 launches. 

We have yet to see what DirectX 12 will do for the console, but seems to really help older GPU cards (But still recent enough that they can upgrade their DirectX 11 to 12.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

For me it, "For Honor" but I think the game still needs a bunch of work. The fighters kept raising their swords above their head, and I wasn't sure they meant to do that. It reminds me a bit of Ryse.

It didn't look like it had any magic. Will be a very different game for that King Arthur style. I like magic, so we will have to see.

Even in Ryse you get to 'pray to the Gods' and get bonuses and stuff.

How was JP?

Better than I was expecting. Not as good as the first movie, but at least as good as the 2nd and much better than the 3rd. Hopefully they'll do another, maybe get one of the original main characters back.

You can not make a JP movie that will be better than the first one.  That moment when Doctor Grant sees the first dinosaur I was in shock and awe and I felt that whole the audience was amazed...It was like real.....         I enjoyed the last movie but it is very Cheesy. 



Battleborn for me.
