Don't matter what developer made Spiderman with that budget Sony was providing that shyt was going to be a crazy AAA regardless.

So a long successful series that came well before this trizznah decides to borrow from a game that was ultimately a failure?:francis:

God of War Dev “Loves Some of the Stuff” in Ryse: Son of Rome – Crytek
Producer Michael Read talks about comparisons to Sony’s hack and slash epic.

Crytek producer Michael Read stated that:
“The guys on the development team are big fans of God of War.
I’ve talked to a lot of the God of War guys too and they love some of the stuff we’ve created. We definitely love some of the stuff they’ve created.

Their combat system is much different, it’s a faster pace than what we have, with a lot of combos and wacky stuff going on.
We’re a more slowed-down melee combat system. But there’s a lot of praise going back and forth and we’re very aware of each other’s games.”

Yeah, sounds like they (Santa Monica) were very aware of what Not to do with their game. Inspiration.:myman:

Ryse and Sunset was dope

wild thing is the devs that made Sunset are now owned by Sony and went onto make Spiderman PS4

I was looking forward to that Dragon game that got canceled, its crazy that they canceled that but decided to release crackdown 3 instead

:snoop:

Speaking of Crackdown, me and a bud tried playing Crackdown 2 some time ago as it was free. We soon found out why it was free.

shyt was straight basura. Not even playing with cheats was fun, we deleted it off our hard drives.

Crackdown 3 was another disappointment. Remember when they hyped up complete destructible environments in multiplayer? They made everything out of glass and said there’s your destructible environment :russ:

Going to have to buy Ryse one day :ehh:

fun pick up especially if you can get it under $10

it helped a lot that I was watching spartacus and rome at the time so that helped me get into the character/story

never got into sunset overdrive...might give it another shot

GOW plays nothing like Ryse and takes more from Naughty Dog games over Ryse.

Ryse’s combat was ok but was a massive quick time fest. Kratos has more depth and character growth too. The story was okay but short.

Lets not even get into the enemy variety, size of the world, combat mechanics, etc.

Where exactly are you seeing the influence outside of being graphical showcases for each console?
