Oh look a new screen! Seriously wtf is up with T10 and having Forza on lockdown? It's been forever since we got anything significant out of them. Are they just teasing or are they that far behind and crunching so much that they can't even spare a minute to snap a couple of screens?

Both games look fantastic but I guess if we're talking about best overall, nothing touches Ryse, imo. It's just on a different level. And not just in graphics, but animations and full body motion capture, voice acting, etc. At times it really does look like a movie.

And other times like CG.

So does 2k14 at times when in motion, especially The Beard:

But at other times it looks more videogamey...

Moreso in stills comparisons:

Ryse still maintains that look:

NBA2k14 has crowds and nice sweat in its favor as far as technical achievement, but Ryse has a larger amount of highly detailed characters on screen and draw distance without LOD and lighting.

Another thing is we know Ryse doesn't use LOD and uses the same models in gameplay too. We've yet to see NBA2k14 gameplay.

Perhaps something closer to this.

Either way, if you're a graphics enthusiast, can't go wrong with either one based on what we've seen so far. But I think Ryse easily takes the crown.

Or Windows 8 emulators or other apps. I wonder if some of the FTP Windows games could run too like.... Pangya on Xbox One would be pretty bad ass. I still play that game. Sounds a bit too good to be true.

MS giving console gamers freedom and relinquishing controller a no brainer? Think of the children!

Hmmm... any app?

Windows 8

Consider the game officially changed. With all

your favorite Windows 8 apps able to be run on

and synced to your Xbox One, now your phone,

desktop, tablet and TV can all give you a unified

web and entertainment experience.

So any emulator, games like Halo Spartan Assault, indie games....Sonic Fan Game Remixes too? All of that? Hard to believe.

Why lazy? What accents should they have if it's an English language game? Italian? Sardinian? Romanian? Spanish? Neither are true Latin and there's not too many of those to choose from making it big in English language theaters.

Besides, I highly doubt they're going for any accent at all. They're just making an English language game with English actors. It's only a "British accent" in the USA. In the rest of the world, what the English speak, is considered the real deal, and proper English. Not to mention, Crytek is based out of Germany and English theater actors are great, and come at reasonable prices and real close. Better than English with a German accent I say.

Just like I love to point out the your bombardment of stealthy troll posts on the Ryse and Xbox board and just like it bothers me when you attempt make extraordinary claims just because it looks great. Based on hot air. New videos and pics belong and add something to the forum and community. Not sure what your posts like above have ever really added. Sour grapes?

A production model? LOL. Give it up dude.

We have seen stuff not screened. And we actually have seen a clear improvement in the "screened" stuff from E3 when they switched to their new shader model and lighting engine and dropped their LOD character models. Just out of curiousity, do you do this with EVERY game and EVERY developer? Because you can apply this logic to every single game out there.

And for the record, they didn't just say in-engine, but in-game as well. We all know what that means. No ambiguity.

That's pretty freaking damning for a company like Crytek to say and not mean it. It's not the type of statement like other devs make where they leave themselves a little wait out, or use vagueness or things that can be interpreted multiple ways.

Finally, it's Crytek, not just any dev! They make game engines and are one of the 2 biggest engine developers in the video game industry and have more than once displayed their technical superiority. How often have they mislead gamers or developers because maybe there's something I don't know about? I think if you start suspecting devs of being dishonest, especially an engine maker like Crytek, then you should have something to base your suspicions on. To my knowledge, their games are almost entirely in-engine and real time because that's their sales pitch. We've already seen Crysis 3 and Cryengine 3. And correct me if I'm wrong, but prior to this, hasn't Crysis 3 been generally regarded as the measuring stick for the best looking game out there? What's there to doubt? This is the next gen version of CryEngine. Ryse is that sales pitch. And they're not pitching it just to gamers, but developers as well.

And in fact, they have clearly specified there is NO difference in models between cutscenes and gameplay.

So if Crytek went there, and it's not true, it's a big indictment on the company as a whole and their business. Not just to gamers, but other interested developers as well who are licensing or want to license their engine. But again, what has Crytek done to be doubted and for them not to be taken for their word? Have they misrepresented in-engine and in-game stuff with CG or enhanced visuals and tried to wiggle their way out of words such as the Twit above? I honestly don't know, so if you have something for your suspicions, do tell. Wouldn't want to get my hopes up for nothing either.

We've seen this since the initial E3 trailer.

The game goes from cutscenes, to gameplay, to cutscene, to gameplay multiple times. There is NO difference. Same fidelity. Just as they say. Just different camera angles.

Last but not least, those gifs I posted in response to Extomars, are actually gameplay. Which is why I picked them. Not cutscenes, but gameplay, and they're from the trailer.

This is an actual gameplay execution. Not a cutscene.

First of all we've actually seen people playing Ryse, and that isn't any different than ANY OTHER video game pre-launch, is it?

Second of all, I'm not in them. Usually I start them. That's what gamers do. They post in threads or post threads about shit they like and share them with others. The difference is I don't spend my time going into threads of games or consoles I don't care about, I have no interest in, I don't like, there's little chance in hell of ever actually liking or wanting or anyone actually changing my mind on them, and constantly let everyone know how much I think they suck every time there is an update.

I'll let you figure the difference out. The only vested interest I have is in the game being good, because I plan on getting it, and sharing my excitement with those gamers who also have the same interest. And yes if it sells great, then awesome, because it means more games or more sequels.

Something tells me, a few of you, don't share that sentiment. And your agendas are far different.

Besides, what exactly is there to defend in here? The game clearly looks amazing, and it's been clearly established over and over that it's real time and in-engine unless you believe the developers are straight faced lying, and even then we've seen gameplay videos. Calling out people clearly downplaying shit isn't defending. That's just calling out someone on being trollish.
