If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
Game reminds me of David Cage games.

Graphics = Hoho
Gameplay = Meh

Hmmm.

That looked absolutely bonkers, visually. However, the cuts to them fighting in the grass (not cutscenes) looked a bit worse.

Cant wait for release.
 
But our friends across the pond expect everyone from history to sound British.

I don't think it's that.

They could have given them Italian-ish accents but then the game would sound like this:

"Ayyyy! Barbarians! Whydoyougokillingmy-a-wifeand kidssss, ehhh?"

British accents are used to inject badassery to characters where neither the regional accent or a yanky drawl are appropriate.

I actually like the parry/attack/execute thing they have going on. If there's a good bit of "crowd control" in there (2-3 enemies at a time) I'm all over this. The amazing graphics are just icing on the cake.
 
I have to give it to Crytek, Ryse has been looking better with every showing, visuals, animation and gameplay. I'll likely pick it up much sooner than I initially planned.

If that is all gameplay or in engine footage, then it takes the crown for the best looking next gen launch title.

Is it certain none of it is CG?

Surprisingly good looking. Looks they might have changed the way slow-mo works? The background seems to slow down as well now, instead of continuing at full-speed as in previous builds. Might have to check on that though, only watched video once. edit: KKRT - you'd be the one to know the answer to this, probably.

I didn't know Romans had British accent? Well I was never could at history.

Sounds so stupid with that accent,
but it looks great.

That thing just seems to be climbing higher and higher in my book and I have always been somewhat interested but god damn it look phenomenal.

I also like how they sprinkled bits from Gladiator, Troy, and a couple other movie lines in the game. It sort of solidifies it in your head.
 
Looks great graphically. Still a bit sceptical about the animations and actual gameplay though. The trailer was mostly cut-scenes and executions.
