You would think they would have put some of the "linearness" rumors of the game to rest. They should have showed a more epic piece from the campaign being played like they do with a GOW reveal.

So how was it to play?
I really don't like those choppy animations and clipping. Looks like it needs a good few months of polish yet
IGN has a hands on, the really liked it.
After a hands-on with the latest build on the eve of Gamescom, however, I have good news: there's no need to worry about Ryse: Son of Rome. The combat has plenty of depth, and the AI is aggressive enough that you'll be challenged plenty. Oh, and QTEs are merely optional finishing moves, with the giant button prompt over a foe's head replaced by a subtle colored outline around the not-long-for-this-world bad guy that corresponds to the button you're supposed to press in order to nail the best execution.
I see the usuals in here doing what they do. I cant believe the visual polish on this game. Best next gen visuals bar none. Really hoping for an immersive story and it will be a great showpiece for the system.
I don't really see anything special here. Visuals are not bad, not spectacular. Animations are subpar and standard, nothing evolved there. Gameplay looks average.
I look forward to some high quality gameplay running on an actual Xbox someday. I'll better judge things then.

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (5 Days ago)
