UltraHD also can mean 8K, so they HAVE to say "4K UHD" - but neither of them are using the correct nK measurement, so they are NOT allowed to use 4K on it's own unless it complies with the nK measurement. "n" = The multiple and "K" = 1,024 horizontal pixels

So they blame piracy for leaving PC. And then crawl back to PC when they need money. That doesn't make much sense - I can see why they're in trouble. I smell a nice handshake between them and nVidia on this one "extra super tessellation those console boys can't brag about..BUUUUUT, it only works well (barely playable with many driver bugs for months) on our coincidentally - released the same week GTX 8xx series. You can also only hit 4K with our GTX 880 that we worked closely with crytek to ensure was optimized for the best experience evahhhh" nVidia the way it's mean't to be paid.

No chance a single 880 will handle 4K but that won't stop them trying to convince people it will. Nvidia's new slogan should be 'Yesterday's technology at tomorrow's prices'. Trying to market 4K as a 'feature' is just plain dishonest and a sad testament to the pathetic state of affairs where PC gaming is concerned.

Would you care to elaborate? The Xbone is an x86 64bit system with a GPU less than half as powerful as a GTX 770. If the GTX 880 is approximately 30% faster than a 780 as rumors claim, then it won't be unreasonable to assume a single 880 can play Ryse at 4k with high or maxed settings.

What´s the point??? this game is garbage?!

If it looks good I can see a lot of gamers buying it so they can post in their respective screenshot threads.

Is this one of those interactive eye candy movie jobs where the gameplay is sitting watching a long cutscene followed by a QTE followed by another long cutscene and another QTE all the way through?

Great news for me, I love the setting and it will probably look fantastic... Yet another reason to upgrade!(not for 4k though...lol).

No thank you Crytek. We know you dropped the ball after Crysis 1 - and that wasn't remarkable either.

This game is awesome, got a xbox one just to play it and it was worth it! I really don't get the hate on this game, or they just sucked at it and raged quit...

I'm with you on this one, signex - I too own this game and really enjoy it. Although I can understand the hate - people hate how linear it is, how short it is and because of how much of the game is cutscenes - this is all true, yet somehow I still find myself playing this game because of how cinematic it is and of course how brutal those executions are.. It's a lot of fun for sure, I would love to hear that they've at least doubled the campaign length for the PC release - this would be a worthwhile "feature" to brag about rather than a simple resolution support.

Same, I liked it. It's total 'Cinemaware' but I liked those games as well. MS wanted something that showcased the Xbox One and anyone who came over and saw that game running was floored and several of them bought the console based on seeing Ryse and Forza in action. I'm sure the same can be said for Killzone on the PS4 (which I am also enjoying despite the negative comments I've seen).

So one to avoid then, thanks for clearing that up!

So pretty much like Heavenly Sword then, which I loved, sometimes it's nice to unwind to something linear and not too complex IMO, just like I don't always want to be watching an intellectually stimulating film. Which reminds me, I still need to get around to playing Enslaved: PE.

You hypocritical PC gaming simpletons! After absolutely dogging the game AND Crytek while it was on the Xbox One. Saying it looked and played like crap, even going so far as to blame it for all of Crytek's financial woes! "Now" that this game is coming to PC (with NO changes in ANYTHING except resolution), these same people are slobbering all over it like a retarded St Bernard! This isn't the first time that this has happened and won't be the last, but it just goes to show how dominate the console is and how game starved PC gaming has become. It disgusting.:wanker:

what are you talking about ? ...

You don't know what I'm talking about? All of tannouncementthis company was getting here? Now?!! Everybody is hyped for a game they were hating on just last month.

You came to that conclusion after a thread full of people stated the game was crap? The only people that didn't mostly consist of people that own consoles and already bought it. PS: Checked your post history, you're a trolling idiot. I shouldn't have wasted my time responding. Kudos.

I game on a 50" Pioneer KURO 500M plasma monitor, it's 1080 and I don't see myself really caring about 4K. I might in 5 years, once this monitor dies, and TN panels that don't have awful colors & black levels. But until LCD monitors get the black levels of this 500M - I don't give a damn what the industry is trying to sell me. Because if I can't have BLACK-blacks & near perfect color, I give zero interests about 99% of all the monitors on the market. ZERO *interests!
