E3 10: Crytek's 360-exclusive Codename: Kingdoms unveiled
Just like last year, Microsoft pulled the "everything you see after this point is exclusive to Xbox 360" card, except this time around, they did it very early on. One of the first things teased was a new partnership between Microsoft Game Studios and Crytek, the studio behind Crysis 2, for a game called Codename: Kingdoms. The short video showed warriors outfitted in gladiator-like armor walking slowly toward the camera; it looked a lot like the screenshot you see above. It's not clear what kind of game we're talking about -- perhaps a third-person action game? -- but we know it's not a Kinect game. Keep your eyes on Destructoid for more from the Microsoft press briefing and E3. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)For the record they said Fable 3 was an "exclusive" as well, but it is confirmed to have a PC version. This game could as well, and since it is Crytek I bet it does. Can't wait for what? All it showed was some live action dudes in armor walking and staring at the screen. Explain what makes that so cool? Also as a side note, Crysis, overrated, you needed an extreme rig to run it at its highest settings. Its obvious they have to switch to consoles to stay profitable. 3:56 AM on 06.11.2013 Ryse: Son of Rome looks to be sinkingMicrosoft likes Ryse: Son of Rome enough to put it in Monday's press conference.
