IG has some very good devs. Checking where the original devs on Double Helix should also be a priority.

I think you are right overall.

Btw, I still think WB is still on the table. Jeff mentioned as much. He is on so many shows, nowadays, I can’t keep track of where he said that.

I for one would be happy with MS getting Crytek

A new Ryse2 with more RPG elements, new locations, crafting etc, could be Amazing.

For God’s sake let it not be Crytek. That would be such a waste. Awful acquisition.

Crytek and Ryse…

Idk how I feel about this.

Also a mad dash to get things done for the weekend as in business only right? The gameplay stuff should be locked for a while no? No Hellblade 2 and such.

Greenberg made a point of emphasis to say there would be no business talk last year to settle expectations, I think by Friday they would say something like that if no acquisitions were to be announced.

Crytek? Booooooo.

I mean things can change sure but going off of their track record. Meh.

Give me WB, Sega, IOI, or KojimaPro.

I feel like crytek has a lot more pedigree that compulsion did when it was bought and we are all super excited to see what compulsion does next. Give crytek the benefit of the doubt

In terms of plausible, buying IO Interactive now and securing 007 is the dream. With Perfect Dark they’d have another monopoly, spy games.

IOI makes so much sense. Humble hardworking team.

Mate

It started life as a first person, Kinect based 360 game

Then was completely rebooted and had to be out for launch of the Xbox One and forced to include Smart Glass, Kinect functionality and microtransactions. All while having BOTH a Single Player and Multiplayer component.

It’s incredible it turned out how it did

We deserve a proper sequel and so does the IP

The first trailer for it was 2011.

So they had 2 years or less to virtually start again.

This really puts things into perspective, I will say if there is a proper sequel, I wonder what the combat would look like then.

4126

I’ve been praying for a Ryse sequel for so many years.

If they pull this off I’m going to lose my mind!

(I love Ancient Roman history and stuff, so please don’t hate me hahaha)

When they were looking for someone on that position before May 2020 then it turned out to be Second Extinction which is a console timed exclusive to Xbox.

Idk if we should talk about Ryse here but the reason I am indifferent to it is because it never really grabbed me, I finished it but it just wasnt memorable to me.

Ryse is that one game i always said had the most potential. The story was actually great and the combat was fun and satisfying even if it did get repetitive. I also played the heck out of the multiplayer. It’s just a shame the microtransactions bogged it down.
