Ryse is the perfect marriage of Kinect and Crytek says Microsoft

Phil Spencer impressed by Crytek's first stab at a Kinect title

Crytek's new Kinect-controlled Imperial Roman first-person brawler seems to be a big hit with the boys at Microsoft.

Corporate VP at Microsoft, Phil Spencer, reckons that Ryse is a perfect example of a developer making the most of the Kinect platform.

Spencer told OXM: "They [Crytek] came up with this idea around Ryse, and now they've really fallen in love with Kinect, and it's a perfect marriage for us."

Microsoft revealed Ryse with a short gameplay trailer during their press conference at this year's E3.
