RYSE Son of Rome Coming to PC this Fall

[trek]

Saw this in the news yesterday. I was just a day away from buying an XBOX One at Target as they have the console  (sans kinect) on sale thru today for the regular price of $399.99 but with a Target $50 gift card included.

I know this game got  mixed reviews but I've lusted after this title since it came out. I've watched all the videos and really think the weapon combat and finishing moves look great even though like Assassin's Creed they use QTEs.

The even better news about the game coming to PC this fall is that it will include all the additional DLC that you had to purchase on the XBOX as well as additional content not included in the console game. This will be a nice complement to playing Rome 2 TW as I can now get down n' dirty as a fully fleshed character in the Roman era. XBOX PC controller support will be included.

This was the first game I bought on my new xbox one....has great graphics and loved the finishing moves you can do, but really got bogged down for me....seemed to get fairly repetitive for me and never finished it.  I guess will see how the PC version turns out, never downloaded any DLC so maybe that makes it better.

I was depressed that it was only out for consoles. Of course interested in getting Ryse. Will check out peeps' impressions upon release.

An action game set in ancient Rome.

This is surprising news. Hopefully it won't be a sloppy port.

[Gusington]

Fingers crossed.

Basically like a FPS action game, but back in roman times...you use the roman weapons to fight your way through missions versus guns and such.  It has some good things in it and really looked great, just wished there was more variety.  I am sure it will sell well on the PC since no other game really like it.

It's not first person, it's third person.  There is no shortage of third person hackers with RPG elements on the PC.

Sorry, you are correct...was just more meaning how the action plays out..but your right.

It has some RPG elements in it?

Sounds enticing, if so.  However, 1st/3rd-person console ports usually make me nauseous (literally) as a rule.  I wish there were some way to ascertain that for sure before I purchased.  I can often get a good idea if I see others complaining about it though.  :'(

In a number of these games I also get a little motion sickness, but at least on the xbox one and this game, I did not have that issue at all.
