Did he just stab him in the ass?
Jesus Christ...that's fucking awesome!
Lower back, probably a kidney shot. Fucking ouch.
Nope, you can see his loin cloth move up around the groin area when he gets stabbed. Definitely a butt stab.
BUTT STAB INTO THE PENIS AND OUT
Jesus...
I don't understand the difference between arkham's combat and ryse's combat. They look very similar (press "Q" over and over to melee and "H" to do a takedown), yet everyone seems to like arkham's and despise ryse's.
YupMan, this game is beautiful.

I think it's more or less to do with the fact that there are certain aspects to Ryse's combat that you can't fail whereas the timing in Arkham's combat does matter. However, I noticed the similarity between the two combat systems (appearance wise) and that's the part of the combat that I like so that isn't a reason I think the combat might be iffy at all. It's just the no fail state executions that I personally have a problem with right now (although I know you have to block and whatnot).
I would try to think of the executions more akin to Batman takedowns. The moment you hit the buttons to do that you will take out an enemy with a more elaborate animation while being invulnerable, it's mechanically pretty similar though Ryse is going more over the top with them.
The biggest issue I can see with Ryse is repetition. Batman has predator encounters as the main break up on top of side content, but so far it doesn't seem like there's much here beyond fighting(or the formation stuff which is still offensive based pace wise). I can imagine even if it ends up fun that can really wear someone down over the game, but it depends how levels mix it up I suppose.
Say what you will about the gameplay, but this game truly is a visual marvel. It will be worth it just to walk around and gawk.
With visuals like these, what is there to be worried about? Even if this was the ceiling for next gen, or for the Xbox One, I would be more than OK with it. Incredible.
The game looks great, but that Rome flythrough is almost certainly rendered at a higher resolution than the actual game. Compare 1:17 and after with the high-bitrate video of gameplay we've seen in that same setting.Great googly moogly!
WOW....

I went from not really wanting this game, to really wanting this game. This is the stuff they should have showed earlier (if possible).

Now, about that ugly-ass HUD...
beautiful
Thanks for posting that. I did not know the game had hidden collectibles and areas to explore off the beaten path which is a great thing. Game looks freaking amazing and the lighting is just unreal.
This should also put an end to the cut scenes being not in-game to a rest. The scene when he gets to the beach and all the ship crashing and then it transitions to gameplay was seamless and looked great.

I really don't understand the hate that this game gets. That stream looked flat out fantastic.
