Was always planning on renting Ryse. I'm sure I'll still enjoy it, even if it is ~6 hours long.

Half of chapters in Ryse beaten in 90 minutes ?

I guess Knack and Ryse share something in common after all : they are both launch day radioactive titles.

We are no longer trusting developers on the length of the games they built and tested themselves?
I mean seriously? If they wanted to lie they could have thrown out a much bigger number and what would be the point of lying when reviews will be out in days?
Why would they say 6.5-8.5 when they could just say 9?
They bloat playtime on games all the time.

This whole thing screams that the game was played on the easiest difficulty... i can play any action game from the last 5 years and beat it in under 4 hours when I set it to the easiest difficulty.
Even CoD takes me at least 6 hours on normal difficulty first time through the campaign. I don't even have plans on picking Ryse up but I don't believe the game will be 3 hours long at all when played on a normal difficulty, let alone on a first play through.

Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if it leaks out afterwards that tons of content was cut to fit the timetable which is a shame. No excuse for the game being that short, I hope it's not true.

Dear lord. And I thought DR2 had framerate issues...

He probably said too much. Remember that Microsoft controls the flow of Xbox One information.
I can approximate I bet: they'll talk in vague terms about it, come the last few months leading up to launch they'll say that due to complications it'll roll out in early 2014, and only at GameStop and Walmart.
By the time you can trade it in the GameStop employees would turn you away because they're struggling to sell the NEW copies at $20 at this point, and Walmart will use kiosks that are nearly impossible to find and would only give you a buck if you did find one.

I have a bigger problem with the disappointing linear game design. If those 50 Mbps vids are what's in store, then this game will be a huge flop.
While I cannot speak for Crytek, It's been my experience that they often take the average for focus test playthroughs when available.
I also believe that's a fairly reasonable thing to do in most cases as you get those who want to balls through it to prove something and others who are looking around like they lost their keys... behaviors which are common in the wild. -Adam
Portal wasn't a full price game.

The time for the campaign is nothing to really brag about but at least part of the value is made up by the coop/arena stuff. So I'm not sure you can judge just based on length that it isn't worth 60 bucks. We'll have to wait and see for when people get their hands on it.

Comparing sex to Ryse.....that must of been some bad sex.
Wait, so it's not a squad game?
This moment is just a part of the level's dressing and is not expanded upon? I honestly thought they were hiding all this cool squad stuff until near the game came out.
Cool?
Nothing worse than having to command around a bunch of dopes, no thank you.
AI teammates/squad members are almost always stupid as shit.
What I'm hoping for is some incentives to explore the beautiful surroundings and that they're not only basically corridors. Not really optimistic about that though.
The 'extremely linear levels to the extreme' quote from the translation doesn't bode well ha.
Never expected it to be too long like 10 hours max. Guess we will know better in about a week.
3 hours sounds too short to be true. im expecting about 7-8 maybe? I generally like to take my time with games anyway, and between looking for collectibles and admiring them next gen graphics, I think I'll be fine with the games length.
also,from what ive seen of the combat I think it looks good - never played them Batman games so I cant make that comparison.

Well shit, I guess great squad shooters and RTSs should pack it in just because the AI can be a little fiddly sometimes. Full Spectrum Warrior, SWAT 4, Brothers in Arms, Republic Commando, and Rainbow Six bye bye.

How did he get an arrow in the back of his head? Boomerang arrows?
in response to your question about the game having some squad mechanics, I can confirm from the single player livestream a few days ago that there is indeed some light troop management (marius is a centurion, after all).
it appears to work like this: at certain points during the game you are given the choice of where to position, say, some archers - at the frontlines or toward your back. based on where they are, they offer support of varying usefulness - frontline archers can suppress other enemy archers but are open to ground attack. archers position way in the back can fire volleys at any badies youre fighting on the ground but leave you to deal with enemy arrows.
its not quite any of the game you listed there, but its something.

Have you seen the video? They were talking about how awesome the shield was. Archer from a good 30-40 feet away fires an arrow at Marius, he 'blocks' and the arrow flies back at the archer and it kills him.

No. Saved the gif and viewed it in animation wizard.
One arrow comes off the dudes shield and hits a guy behind him and for some reason the dude in front turns his head to the right a cops another arrow in the back of the head.

I don't have a problem with this. I was never expecting the game to be particularly long in the first place. As long as I enjoy what's there. And for the record, I'm not referring to the 90 minute stuff in the OP. I'm talking about the design director stating the game to be 6.5-8.5 hours in length.

It isn't wind. It's one of the game's combat mechanics. If you time it correctly with a shield deflect, you can send the arrow right back at the target that fired it.

Which is absolutely ridiculous.
However, the wind comment is from the gif that was posted a few posts back.
One of my friends played Ryse at a conference a couple of weeks ago and wasn't overly impressed. She did say that part of it was because she sucked at it though, so who knows... What's funny is that it was one of the games to sell me on a launch day Xbox One, but now I'm getting cold feet.
What's wrong with it? Time your block right and you get an advantage. It's a similar mechanic to quite a lot of games.

It just seems odd to me from a realistic point of view. I'm sure its fun from a gameplay standpoint.
Lol! Incredible physics.
Hmm, now I'm not sure if I should get Ryse with all these impressions...
The worst part is, that I were never a Forza player and Dead Rising 3's framerate drops bellow 30fps, while I weren't much for the clunky controls of DR2 which they seemingly have fixed though.
There's a lot of solid launch games for Xbox One but not a single have I just gotta have. I really hope Ryse does good in the end, as I want it for being a new IP but the gameplay has to be great.

Just rub the button.
The developer is called an exaggerator because these things are exaggerated.
