Former Xbox One-exclusive Ryse: Son of Rome is coming to PC, and it will probably look pretty good, what with it being developed by Crytek and everything. But how beastly of a PC will we need in order to a) run it in the first place, and b) make it look halfway decent? These are questions that have answers waiting on the game's newly minted Steam page. Other answers include the release date, which is set for October the 10th.

You'll remember that Crytek is self-publishing the digital version of Ryse, while Deep Silver is handling the boxed release. According to the Steam page, Ryse will launch on October 10th, for £34.99 in the UK, and $39.99 in the US. That's...that's some annoying exchange-rating. PC buyers will get all the bonus content from the Xbox One version, plus 4K resolution support.

Here are those system requirements, taken, again, from the Steam page:

Minimum:

  • OS: Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (64bit)
  • Processor: Intel Dual-Core 2.8 GHz/ AMD Dual-Core 3.2 GHz or better
  • Memory: 4 GB RAM
  • Graphics: DirectX 11 graphics card with 1 GB video RAM
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Hard Drive: 26 GB available space
  • Sound Card: DirectX compatible Sound Card with latest drivers

Has anyone here played Ryse on PC? I started playing last evening and it is surprisingly good. Looks stunning, brilliant voice acting and absolutely amazing environment design. THough the gameplay seems like something that'd get repetitive soon, initial impression was really good.
 
Yeah, tried it, gameplay is just a QTE fest. Looks shiny though. Thankfully it's not too long.
 
yes. I agree. The QTEs and he entire layout shows it's a lazy console port. But for someone who finds greek mythology fascinating this is worth a runthrough.
 
You should try the Age of Mythology HD edition and Titan Quest if you haven't already if you are into Greek stuff.
 
I recently completed this game and I feel it could have done much better, if the scope of the game was increased in terms of locations and a free flowing combat. Visually, it was absolutely fantastic. Personally, if Shadow of Rome was ever re-made on PC, I would want it to be on this engine. Voice acting was very strong in this game. But the repetition in the combat and the corridor based movement was a major downer. The story had a good backdrop and could have been explored in a better way, but sadly everything pretty much felt rushed. So I suppose 'Shadow of Rome' still holds the crown for being the best action game based around the Roman Empire.
