It’s a start: Crytek’s Ryse will be exclusive to Xbox One

Here’s the obligatory countdown site

Crytek’s long-talked-about but little-shown Ryse will be an Xbox One exclusive, according to the game’s official website. This hack-and-slash title, set in ancient Rome, has been billed as a major — “Gears of War / Halo” major — launch title for the system.

The site’s copy describes Ryse as having “controller-based gameplay enhanced by Kinect,” which is what I’m looking for so long as we’re stuck with the motion-sensing device going forward. We’ll see more at E3 in the coming weeks, naturally.
