Console fanboys.. no offense i call them platform racist. They keep moan about if consoles game come to PC there's no point in buying a consoles. But in all PC game sections they keep ask games to come to consoles  . Microsoft & Sony had spoilt these people that games entitled to them only.

have you played it on consoles? if you asked me if they have changed the QTE to combo then problem would solved. but not sure about the story though if it really suxs.

Crytek has clarified the required specifications that were posted last week for its upcoming PC version of Ryse: Son of Rome, and added some examples of tech that you can use to eke the best performance out of the game.

The original specs, posted on the game's Steam store page, were apparently for 4K gameplay. Now we've got revised versions for us peasants without top quality gear.

"Since there was some initial confusion about the System Requirements (as we originally posted the specs needed for 4k as recommended on the Store page)," explains Crytek, "we wanted to give you a bit more insight into the system requirements to run the game and some examples of fitting CPUs and GPUs in the three categories."

Yeah, so you still need a pretty hardcore setup, which won't surprise anyone who's played a Crytek game on PC before. The PC version of Ryse is coming on October 10. Without further ado, here's the newly listed specs:

CPU: Dual core with HyperThreading technology or quad core CPU
Examples: Intel Core i3 2.8 GHz (3220T) or AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 GHz (945)

Crytek clarifies specifications for Ryse: Son of Rome on PC

Haih, my not-really-that-old 680 is old liau.

Crytek's gory hack-and-slash game, Ryse: Son of Rome, is on its way to PC platforms next month without the microtransaction structure embedded in its previously released Xbox One edition, Videogamer reports.

The version of Ryse that launched alongside the Xbox One console last year allowed players to boost their character stats using in-game currency, earned either through gameplay or purchased with real-world money. Several Xbox One-exclusive launch games premiered with embedded microtransactions last year, including the Xbox 360-ported Crimson Dragon, racing sim Forza Motorsport 5, and resurrected fighting game franchise Killer Instinct.

Crytek notes that the upcoming PC port also bundles all four DLC packs originally released as add-on content for the Xbox One edition, adding a Survival mode, new multiplayer maps, and other bonus perks. The package additionally includes a selection of expanded graphics options, along with support for 4K resolution.

The PC version of Ryse launches with Steamworks support on October 10.

Can anyone review this game to me? Thanks. Interested.

Already pre-ordered. No need review XD

Need some dough though.

Bought Total War : Shogun 2 , Outlast and etc.

Going to choose between AC : Unity and this or buy both. 

I missed the Shogun deal. Well gonna wait winter sales. Anyhow i still have too many backlogs that i cannot finish  . AC:Unity i will probably wait. Tired of Ubi milking the franchise. Also AC Rogue has been spotted in Uplay Rewards. Hint: PC version.

Shogun is an excellent game. I enjoyed it more than Total War 2 Rome which almost half put me to sleep.

Is Shogun War 2 Collection is the version that has all DLCs? Man it seems this dev is spamming DLC fest.

Ryse: Son of Rome is coming to PC early next month, as Crytek revealed it didn't exactly perform all that well as an Xbox One exclusive. The studio now explains what they've done to 'embrace' the PC version.

They talk about the game's new 4K resolution support, but also the nitty gritty details of how we can customise our graphics for Ryse. Can it pull the dagger out our backs?

They tease of "eye-popping visual updates" for PC and a "wealth of customization" to give us fine control over how it looks and runs, which is due out October 10th.

"Among the headline-grabbing reasons to try Ryse on PC is the fact the game offers 4K resolution support. The next leap forward in display technology, 4K takes visuals to spectacular new levels of detail and offers players a whole new window on the worlds they interact with," blogged Crytek. "In Ryse, the results of 4K support can be seen in the jaw-dropping textures, shading and more – bringing ancient Rome to life like you've never seen it before."

4K is nice and all but only if we can tweak the finer things that'll be filling all that pixel space. How are PC users going to be able to affect performance related matters? Thankfully the studio breaks it down:

Window Resolution: Fairly straightforward – select at what resolution you want to run Ryse on your PC. We support resolutions up to 4k (or Ultra HD, as some call it) at 3840 × 2160.

Supersampling: Often abbreviated as SSAA, Super-Sampling is an anti-aliasing technique that helps to give the game a smoother (or un-jagged) look. Options are: Off, 1.5x1.5 or 2x2.

Graphics Quality: Some gamers just want to dive right into the action, so we have included some quality pre-sets for the game’s graphics: Low, Normal and High.

Texture Resolution: This setting is automatically detected by the game for good performance. Our release notes will explain how enthusiasts can manually change this.

Fullscreen: Prefer to play fullscreen, or in window mode? We've got you covered either way.

VSYNC: Occasionally, your GPU’s output and that of your monitor can be out of sync, leading to some screen tearing. You can prevent these glitches by enabling VSYNC (or vertical sync).

Lock FPS: Ryse has an unlocked framerate by default, with your hardware power being the only limiting factor. If you prefer a more even experience, you can enable the optional frame lock at 30fps.

Native Upscaling: This option allows you to run the game at a lower resolution than your screen is putting it out at, with the game being upscaled to the actual native screen resolution. The UI is always rendered at native resolution.

Rendering Resolution: This option only comes into play when you have enabled Native Upscaling. It allows you to select what resolution the game is rendered at.

We're also given a second menu to further adjust our configurations under 'Advanced Graphics'. These hold the usual suspects with options like lower, normal or high. There's Shading Quality, Object Detail, Shadows Quality, Particle Quality, Animation Quality, Motion Blur, Temporal Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering.

The PC version also comes with all four DLC packs. "All in all, these packs add more than a dozen new maps to the Multiplayer Mode, as well as the all-new Survival Mode and five new skins that you can deck your gladiator out with." Crytek has also thrown the microtransactions from Xbox One to the lions.

"Of course, with Ryse being a Steamworks game on the PC, we also wanted to take full advantage of Valve’s platform, and are supporting Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Leaderboards and the Cloud so you can take your save games with you. There is also full support for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One Controllers for Windows, for those of you that enjoy their PC gaming in Steam Big Picture Mode."

Has Crytek paid enough penance with PC's Ryse: Son of Rome? We'll know soon enough on October 10th. Check out the full PC feature blog for more details on the official Crytek website.

Is there anyone waiting for this game?
