That's for resolution. Dawg you gotta blink real slow.
About Ryse: if true, that's a shame. The game *looks* great.

Funny that the chapter during the stream was 40+ minutes, and he was playing on easy/normal difficulty too.

yikes, this and Dead Rising...
just read this, can't say I thought much of them before but now, thats just amazing. Basically lets fund a website, and let them smash every other consoles games.

How much was skippable cutscenes?
Things that have nothing to do with this news: Polygon and other games.
It's almost as though a lot of the conversation in this thread is motivated by some other, different events recently. And since we have live-streams having shown play-times far different from this, first-hand accounts of longer playtimes by people who finished the game, and even the original source doesn't claim to have finished the game, I think this thread isn't necessarily a font of reliable information and discourse.
Could the game be short? Sure. We'll know soon enough. The source here sure as heck doesn't know yet.

During a moment when the game transitions to a new chapter...hardly representative of how the game performs on average...
I'm still convinced that when the dust settles, DR3 will be the highest rated launch exclusive of the two platforms, with a Metacritic somewhere in the low 80s.
One thing I've learned this year is that rewiewers cant tell you for how long they've been playing a game, unless the game tells you.

Well, you tell them do do unbiased Sony reviews and see if they can do so for once, lol. Once they start doing fair reviews the comments would stop instantly.
It will be Forza
Yeah, that's the joke I was aiming for, but it wasn't too clear I think
It was pretty clear for me, I got it almost instantly.

For all we know each chapter is longer than the one before.

Your average movie runs for like $10 a pop nowadays, so $60 for three hours of cinematic content + dat crytek button prompt tax seems about right.

Well I went through and estimated that the chapter takes around 32 minutes to complete without any cutscenes or pausing. There are 8 chapters in total so if they were all 32 minutes each you've got yourself a 4 hour campaign on normal without any cutscenes.

I don't think Ryse will review worse then KZ
Not because the game might be amazing but I just have a hunch that it will get mid 8s to low 9s by the press

Yikes, I figured it would be really short, since they kept avoiding that, but that's too short. And those tweets? He cleared Legendary in under 7 hours? Not a good look. Expecting 5 hours average, then.
I don't think a reviewer would ever gauge the playtime without cutscenes.

LOL @ the Polygon axe to grind in this thread. Amazing.
Actually i was told in person by one of the dev in Cologne last summer that the lenght of the single player is "around the lenght of CoD", so you pretty much nailed it.

Ryse of the Cutscene
why didn't you add horizons - October 2012? it basically split 4 and 5. so its 4 games in 5 years

Well it's not just Polygon. But i agree with gaf, polygon seems to have an obvious bias towards Microsoft and we shouldn't base our decisions around their reviews be it ps4 or xbox one launch games just to keep everything even.
Yeah once I go through my launch games I can see my PS3 being hooked back up for quite a while.

I think people are just really sick of Arthur Gies. I'm sure some are upset at the scores too.

If you had to push a game out for launch you probably wouldn't cut from the opening chapter.

Game length doesn't matter. Polygon will give it a 10 and claim it's the most historically accurate Rome simulation the world has ever seen.
Could be it, but has that been verified?

Still short, but maybe the other chapters are longer than the first.

Why, because Knack wasn't up to what you expected? ...and just because Killzone looks amazing, that doesn't make it an amazing game!! Those reviews are across the board, not just Polygon!! Dry your tears and move on.... You still have Infamous.
