Gears 5 is less of a cover shooter than any CoD... call of duty might not have a cover system (although some of them actually do) but 90% of that game is walking around corners, shooting and then going back behind the corner to heal.
in the Gears 5 campaign I barely used the cover system outside of doing wall bouncing...
and in high level Gears Multiplayer you use the cover mechanic to either dodge or move faster through wall bouncing or to cut corners fast.
basically, the worse you are at gears, the longer and more often do you use the cover system, at least in the newer ones, and especially Gears 5. In a way it's like in Vanquish, which is also a shooter with a cover system, but only bad player will actually use the cover system to take cover, while good player use it to do tricks and move faster
in this video (which was the first video coming up when i typed in gears 5 montage into youtube) you can see how the cover system is used to dodge, move fast around corners and to rush people... and rarely to actually take cover. the slides you see him do there are animations that happen when you try to get behind cover, and you can cancel these min animation to use them as a dodge
this was a bug at first but the devs made it into a supported feature of Gears because it made the gameplay way faster and the skill ceiling way higher

They fell off, they need to be bought out. I believe it. They should have sold 5 years ago.

The problem is the obstacles that are there. compared to other shooter, which you use walls to hide, or obstacles like cars. they arent scattered all over the place. And if i want to do Leroy Jenkin, i would have to jumb over those first.

Yeah lets not start all the nonsense. Crytec are good devs, and Crysis 1-3 are good games and graphical powerhouses.
Crytec with Microsofts money behind them could produce some very interesting results.

well Prey has at least 1 issue, and that is that walking speed is tied to some degree to the framerate. so you have to lock the game to a framerate you can hold at all times, or else your walking motion will be jerky as hell.
at first I thought I had framerate issues when i started playing it, but my FPS counter showed way above 60fps in most scenes... then I locked the framerate to 60 through the .ini config and the jerking during motion was gone.
so there's that... also it has weird stutters in the inventory sometimes.

have you ever played a Call of Duty game? or the new Doom games? all of them have walls and knee high obstacles scattered around the maps... that's almost every shooter. because every shooter uses cover. Gears has a button to go into cover, but that's all that makes it different from CoD and other modern shooters.
and that cover button is nothing more than a crouch button really. all i can say is that I spend more time hiding in corners in CoD than in Gears, because in Gears i can outskill players, while in CoD, the time to kill is so low that basically the person who sees the other person first wins the gunfight, because there will be no gunfight since you're dead in less than half a second.
that's true both in campaign and multiplayer.
try playing a CoD campaign on the highest difficulty and tell me you're not spending at least 80% of your time hiding around a corner

What type of results are you asking? Ryse?
Money don't solve all the problems. If so, Rare would be by today one the best dev games company.
Would be more smart just take the Cryengine.

Or less. But I still don't see the point, unless they really want to own the Ryse IP, or maybe sponsor a new Crysis. Guess we'll see but this sounds fake. I suspect Crytek will be dissolved within a year.

I recently tried playing Ryse again (on PC this time) and holy shit that game is so fucking awful xD like... ridiculously terrible... THE WORST fighting system I've ever seen in any videogame period... I am cringing even calling it a fighting system... fucking hell... it's so bad... SO BAD... I can't emphasize enough HOW BAD IT IS. low budget cartoon license games have better fighting mechanics, I'm talking Avatar The Burning Earth, a game that was only ever played by people who wanted a fast 1000 gamerscore, even that has a better fighting system
and the game runs like ass as well on my system (tagging

for this too) I can't hold a steady 60fps on an overclocked 1070, neither at 1440p nor at 80% res scale... and the GPU utilization is 70%, CPU like 20%... that game runs like ass on PC... not optimized at all from my experience with it

Is kinda believable. Crytek announced Crysis Collection without any profit from previous games.

The tweet and random post seem fake. Crytek being acquired by MS *isn't* too farfetched, though.

Ryse sucks,, party due to its Konnect origins, but taken as a tech demo for XB1, it was amazing.
Not long ago there was a rumour about Ryse 2 being in devemopment, and according to this rumour Microsoft are impressed with this Crysis reboot.
Depending on how much they cost, it could be a very nifty bit of business.

I would lie if I told you this would be an exciting acquisition in my eyes. They never made anything I cared for.

I might reinstall Ryse to see how it runs on my 2070 Super but I don't recall having any issues with it on my 980ti a few years back.
What's your CPU? The GPU utilisation looks solid based on the following video:
You're bang on about the gameplay though, it's absolutely awful.
It's provocative

like I said the utilization on the CPU is between 20% and 30%, I might look into multithread utilization, but somethings wrong with that game. the GPU, at ultra settings and 1440p shows 80% utilization at most
if I go to 4K-ish resolutions I get 30fps and like 85% to 90% utilization
no kidding, the og Crysis runs better on this PC than Ryse...

"I have no idea if this random bullshit post I dug up from a corner of the internet famous for random bullshit posts and tales from my ass is true, but I'll screen cap it and promote it because reasons"
Calling it a low effort self-signal boost would be an insult to the effort put into low effort self-signal boosts.

People forget too... This game ran on CryEngine as well.
ok, but to be fair, the game was rushed as hell and they singlehandedly had to port the engine to the Wii U, as it was not officially supported by Crytek. So I wouldn't count that in or use it as evidence really

I guess you are right. I might have jumped on the gun very soon.

I like rumors like this beforehand. it gives it all a little more spice... you wait for the announcement, will it come? was it all bullshit?

You cant force devs to do what you want. Insomniac were lucky that sony had spiderman. and since sony doesnt do other consoles or pc, they are pretty much locked on PlayStation console. Its why ratchet looks better. Its only on ps5.
Rare is a talent studio. but the problem with them is that they are stubborn. they like to make their own games. make ground breaking games. This is a flaw in the gaming industry. you arent special. everyone has the same thought as you. But that thing is impossible to convince Rare.
You should use Coalition as example. Made Gears series phenomenal. Look at hive buster. That is what money does. Same as how insomniac with sony IP, and money Made great spiderman game (not as great as spiderman 2), and great dlc.

That's all fine and dandy but I don't think Crytek owns the Crysis IP, so even if Microsoft bought them they wouldn't be able to just make a new Crysis game unless they license it from EA.

Don't know how true it is but doesn't sound too far fetched and acquiring for the tech alone is a good buy.
Btw Ryse was a god damn beautiful game but rushed the rest.

Why would they want that engine when they already create or use better engines?
Yes, seems MS will buy Sega next Wednesday. Many gaffers are 100% sure.
