When it's not helping gamesradar relive many of its greatest games via Rare Replay, legendary British studio Rare is busy crafting its latest caper - Sea of Thieves, a cartoony MMO with a pirate twist. Revealed at E3 2015, the new game is looking to break tradition - rather than crafting an original tale, Rare wants to give players the tools and resources to build their own stories.
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.
The game looks interesting and i have faith that Rare can do something amazing again.
But i kind of wished it was a single player pirate game with a story that they made.
I will be definitely keep my eyes on this one even though i am not a big fan of MMO genre in general.
So glad MS are getting Rare to make great games again instead of kinect games. One of the best teams in the industry imo
It's about time Rare
I don't think a lot of ppl realize this is an MMO.
I'm super excited about this game, I would love to learn more, but so far everything I've heard sounds right up my alley.
It's almost like turning Curse of Monkey Island into an MMO.
