I'd like to begin with a minor clarification: obviously nobody has played the final project yet so I can only analyze the information we have thus far and raise discussion points about that. I am in no way trying to pass judgment on a product that is not in my hands, but I think Ryse is a great place to start looking at action trends moving forward."

But Crytek just couldn't leave it there, bless 'em.

There won't be any button prompts during executions, producer reveals.
Ryse: Son of Rome's E3 show didn't do a terribly good job of conveying the game's subtleties, Crytek producer Michael Read has admitted. The build shown at the expo was very much work in progress, he told Siliconera in an interview - you can expect more elaborate, tactical brawling with less signposting once Ryse hits shelves.
