Gamer Professionals Writes:
"Some of my fondest video game memories are playing Rareware games. I spent a lot of time playing Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct on the first consoles I ever owned, the Super Nintendo and Game Boy systems. Once I moved onto Nintendo 64, I dove head first into gaming and never looked back. I spent many hours of my childhood playing Rare titles like Jet Force Gemini, Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day."
Opinion: Why Helldivers 2 and Sea of Thieves, despite their obvious differences, are very much the same for PlayStation and Xbox
Sea of Thieves stared off life as an Xbox exclusive, growing over time into a genuine hit with a large, committed community. Now, in an effort to increase its audience still futher, it's become a key part of Microsoft's multi-platform push.
So, no one wants to talk about how the PS5 outperforms the xbox version in multiple ways, huh?
Draw distance better / shadows better
Also he calls most ps5 “oddity’s” and uses the term “not sure why this is happening” a lot
Ps5 is just more powerful, those 2teraflop difference and Xbox fanatics saying world most powerful console, is worth zip- zero
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.
This and Recore are my most anticipated games this year.
Open world, pirates, online, caves, krakens.
Sea of thieves (if done right) could be one of the greatest games ever.
There are those of us that have been waiting for a proper Fantasy Pirate game.
And I think Sea of Thieves is that!(Unless you want Dark Fantasy).
The real question now is will people who only have 1-2 or no friends to play with will have options and a good time?
That's what could make or break this experience, and I'm really hoping people don't get to miss out on the plunder.
Can't wait to see more.
