Crytek: its getting increasingly hard to wow people with graphics
Crysis and Ryse: Son of Rome developer are amongst the better looking games in the industry thanks to the proprietary CryEngine. In an interview with DSO Gaming the developer says that it's not as easy to impress players with beautiful graphics as it used to be.
"As opposed to the times of the original Crysis, we as an industry have reached a quality level now where it is getting increasingly more difficult to really wow people," Crytek’s principal rendering engineer Nicolas Schulz told DSOGaming in an interview. "That said, there’s still enough areas to explore and we will definitely keep pushing the boundaries as much as possible."
Schulz also discussed the limitations of high-end PC graphics processing units (GPUs) and the current generation of consoles. On PC, he said, the current generation of high-end GPUs is still far from being able to reach 60 frames-per-second at 4K resolution, which is four times the amount of pixels that need to be shaded compared to 1080p.
"This is very quickly saturating the available bandwidth," Schulz said. "The consoles are clearly behind high-spec GPUs in terms of raw horsepower, however on the positive side, they share the same modern architecture which enables a wealth of interesting optimization techniques."
Ryse: Son of Rome comes out for PC on October 10. Crytek recently announced that it has stripped the Xbox One's microtransactions out of the PC version of the game. If you want to know if you can run Ryse: Son of Rome, check out the PC system requirements.

Well I for one cant wait to play Ryse. I love games with melee combat. I loved the first 300 movie and Ryse reminds me a little of it. I love a good storyline and good combat first and then graphics. I do not think Ryse will disappoint in either of those areas. Graphically the game looks stunning and I cant find any flaws when I watch videos. Shadows are usually jagged or flicker in games but they look perfect in Ryse. Textures are great. They've done an amazing job on the faces, the armor, pretty much everything. Of course in person it will be different but I think a lot of pessimists will eat their negative words once they get the game in their hands. I am a optimistic person and I'd like to think with the story, graphics, voice acting, combat, audio, that its going to be a masterpiece and be the best game of its type.
As for it being harder to wow people. Of course it is, it doesn't take a genius to know that. Back when Cryengine came out, we hadn't seen anything like it before. Now we have tons of good looking games and overtime like with anything else, we get desensitized.

This. Besides shiny graphics, there's hardly anything to find with Crytek. Which isn't enough, because shiny graphics are easy to be done these days.

Honestly I think Crytek should spend less time trying to "wow" people with "graphics" and spend more time making games that do not suck.
Crysis 3 is the first video game I snapped the disc of then threw in the bin.
It can look pretty as f 3 c k but if it's a s h ! t game it's a f 3 c k i n s h 1 t game.
