"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
Sony's PS4 reveal was good but forgettable and did not have much impact on the gaming industry...Sony will try to steal some of MS thunder by revealing GT 6 for the PS3 and Vita but dont think anyone outside the PS fanbase will care.
I am not sure if it is the 1 million rumor articles that have been posted on N4G about the 720 or the fact that we know nothing official about the nextbox, but the hype level for the next gen XBOX is over 9000!
On May 21 you can either gloat with happiness and excitement or you can moan and jump out of a window with hatred.
ps4 had some considerable thunder considering its reveal was 3 months ago. it's natural for hype to die but I think the reveal made a lasting impression. now it's time fir MS to shine and get there thunder rolling
Can thunder be stolen this long after the event? I've always thought of stealing someone's thunder as an almost simultaneous event, or at least very soon after, that detracts from whatever they did or said.
*shrug*
yawn
gaming media if you can call them that always says crap to get hits.
PS4 has thunder that amounts to anything? people know very little about Sony's PS4 offerings and nothing about the Xbox and MSFT's plans for it.
This is the calm before the storm and the storm gets here in 7 days and won't move on until after next gen consoles launch. PS4 reveal was nothing more than people smelling the rain in the air wondering if it's going to rain.
Any hype PS4 had has more to do with the notion of superior consoles bringing next gen than what Sony actually showed or boasted about. Current gen hardware had the media craving something new hense the little hype PS4 got until the media focused on the 720 soon after the PS4 reveal(almost the entire time inbetween)
In 7 days things will get real...
Until people actually see two finished consoles with finished features, system software, hardware capability, services and price and release date hype in any given time before what I said above doesn't amount to horse dung...
Some console companies have been known to consistently exaggerate console capability and offerings so real world hype "thunder" is T.B.D.
EDIT
Disagree?
More stories over an unannounced console from the media than a announced one, even getting more attention on a pro Sony site than PS4. N4G's community seeking out xbox news they can use for damage control and blocks and censors the good articles. People wan't to see what the consoles can offer in detail and can careless about issues or topics exaggerated by folks on forums with agendas
