Ancient Rome first-person hack ‘n’ slash Ryse is an Xbox One exclusive, Crytek has announced.
It will also be a launch title for Microsoft’s new system.
Announced during E3 2010, Ryse was described as "Microsoft's new Gears of War/Halo mega launch title".
According to the game’s official site, plays will "fight as a soldier”, “lead as a general”, and “rise as a legend".
It also states that the Ryse will feature "controller-based gameplay enhanced by Kinect".
The current model of triple-A game development is fundamentally broken, according to former Trion Worlds general manager and CCO Scott Hartsman.
Speaking with Massively, Hartsman made it clear that he was talking about the system rather than companies or individuals.
“I don't know of anyone who's hired with the intent of treating people disposably. No one ever wants that, even the companies frequently perceived as ‘evil’,” he said.
Remedy creative director Sam Lake has taken to YouTube to explain why his studio is developing a new IP rather than an Alan Wake sequel.
Yesterday at Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal, Remedy announced a new IP by the name of Quantum Break, but many were hoping for Alan Wake 2.
“After the first game, we worked hard to make the sequel happen,” said Lake.
Although Xbox Live is getting an overhaul, indie developers won’t be able to self-publish on the platform, Microsoft has confirmed.
With the launch of the Xbox One, the company is merging its Xbox Live Arcade, Xbox Indie Game, and Xbox Games on Demand channels into one consolidated marketplace.
However, unlike PlayStation and Nintendo – both of which allow self-publishing in their respective eShops – Microsoft is insisting that indie developers be represented by third-party publishers or Microsoft itself.
Microsoft has stated that comments made today by its own employees about the Xbox One's always-online and used games functions were just “potential scenarios” rather than facts.
Regarding used games, Microsoft had told Wired earlier today that if an Xbox One game disc was used with an Xbox Live account it wasn’t registered to, the player would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc.
Microsoft vice president Phil Harrison then told Eurogamer that a second hand market would exist.
At today's Xbox One reveal, Microsoft Game Studios announced Forza Motorsport 5 for that console.

Activision has released half a dozen screens of COD: Ghosts running on an Xbox One.
The big announcement today was that the game featured dogs as members of the player's squad.
The game – the tenth in the Call of Duty franchise – is in development at Infinity Ward, whose last COD title was 2011's Modern Warfare 3.
Screens of Xbox One's interface - the dashboard, as well as DVR and TV menus.
Microsoft has extended the Kinect's voice recognition capabilities, so all menus may be navigated using that peripheral.
The company also touted the Xbox One's ability to run several applications at once, so expect dashboard access in-game.
