That isn’t to say the PC launch has been flawless however. That’s one serious case of jaundice, or it’s time to shield bash him Ryse has performed smoothly for me with no noticeable stutters or even crashes.
Using a GTX 780 Ti with 3GB VRAM I’ve experienced no trouble with everything set to maximum at 2560x1440, all with the exception of having super-sampling kept in check. It’s quite clear they’ve beefed up Ryse with graphical options letting us tweak the usual suspects from textures and shadows to fancier optionals like motion blur and super-sampling. Times changed and now the once lauded studio has returned with promises of Ryse that’s gushing with both blood, but also PC exclusive treats. Ryse is no newcomer then but a re-release for PC gamers who were disappointed in Crytek’s decision to favour the new Xbox console, and not even whispering conspiratorially that it would end up on desktops someday.
Crytek’s Ryse: Son of Rome is now marching its legions through the Steam pipeworks to our PCs after its hedonistic debauchery on the Xbox One as a launch title.
