My laptop can run this game. Don't even need to use my desktop.

drpepperdude2253d ago

My computer seems to fall in-between the 720p@30 and the 1080p@30 option. I will probably never play it on PC but it's interesting that the option is there if I ever wanted to.

Doubt this game will require 1080ti to run 4k 60 in Ultra, but we will see.

timotim2253d ago

Love the fact that I will be able to play this on the go on my Surface Pro! Doing a quick quest at the coffee shop or customizing my character a bit on the train...thats awesome.

ULTp0ltergeist2253d ago

I'm just wondering how the water effects are powered. I doubt very much it's hardware powered, those effects especially the atmosphere's lighting looks too demanding.

timotim2253d ago

Idk. And I'm sure the water won't as good on my Surface Pro haha, but I have my X and a LG 4K OLED for when I want to show off a little. My Surface is just for those times when I'm on the move.

Sea of Thieves servers seeing longer wait times as PS5 closed beta gets underway

It looks like PS5 players can't wait to don tricornes and raise anchor; Sea of Thieves is currently experiencing "longer wait times that normal", according to developer Rare, thanks to a "high volume" of new players joining the game as part of today's freshly launched PS5 Closed Beta.

Obscure_Observer3d ago

The irony.

I remember the time when some PS fans used to sh!t on this game, by calling it an ugly game with cartoony graphics, awful and boring.

Fast forward six years and RARE is now facing server issues due the high influx of PS5 gamers trying to set sail prior release.

Those are true gamers that will enjoy great adventures with friends or solo.

Never trust jealous fanboys who hates on games for no reason other than not been available on their platform of choice. From any side!

Einhander19723d ago

I'm not sure what you're cheering for, that just means more xbox exclusives will be coming to PlayStation in the future, After all, it was only a few weeks ago you xbox guys were in tears and boycotting Microsoft for putting their games on PlayStation.

While I wish Sony had blocked them and forced Microsoft to fund these studios on their own, it'll be funny to see xbox games selling better on PlayStation.

"I'm not sure what you're cheering for, that just means more xbox exclusives will be coming to PlayStation in the future, After all, it was only a few weeks ago you xbox guys were in tears and boycotting Microsoft for putting their games on PlayStation."

And it worked like a charm!

You were so confident celebrating Indiana Jones, Hellblade II and Starfield (to name a few) on PS5.

You were so anxious about Xbox to leaving the console market to become a full third party publisher to Playstation.

How things work out for you? Not so great, I guess?

None of the big AAA Xbox first party games is coming to Playstation, but smaller and Live Service games.

Like Phil Said: Nothing has changed. Ori (smaller game) got released on the Switch. Minecraft (Live Service) has been on all platforms since forever.

"While I wish Sony had blocked them and forced Microsoft to fund these studios on their own, it'll be funny to see xbox games selling better on PlayStation."

For real? This is supposed to be viewed as some sort of Sony victory? I mean, Sony is investing BIG money, time and resources trying to create some successful LS games for years! In the process, people were laid off, studios closed and games canceled, for what?

Sony paid Square for FOAMSTARS, got it released day one on PS Plus and that game allegedly flopped. Just like another Playstation exclusive live service game, Babylon´s fall, before it. For what?

To see Microsoft releasing yet another (seemly) successful new LS game on their platform, "stealing" playstation gamers (you need a Microsoft account to play that game) while getting a 70% cut from every copy sold of a full priced 6 years old game?

If that´s is something for you to celebrate, I think its safe to say that both parties will be happy.

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

Sea of Thieves was indeed shit when it released to be fair. It was very boring

JackBNimble2d ago

But it also was no secret that MS would be constantly updating it just like many other dev's/publishers do.
You can't complain now about the content can you?

Kornholic3d ago

So basically you are saying not to trust you. Gotcha.

Sonic18812d ago (Edited 2d ago )

When I played it many years ago, the kraken didn't even have a body. It just had tentacles. Hopefully they fix that. You can actually swim at the bottom and see that 🤔

Zeref2d ago

There is no body. Idk why people keep making that a big deal. It's obviously a technical limitation.

Tedakin2d ago

You can see its full body now during one of the Jack Sparrow tall tales and also when you dive under the water to fast travel. Sometimes it will swim by.

IRetrouk2d ago

You've been doing that for years though🤣

Zeref2d ago

Nothing they say on this website tracks in reality.

I'm glad the game is doing well on Playstation. It just means Rare gets a bigger budget for Everwild. Which will be exclusive.

KyRo2d ago

The reality is Xbox only fanboys can't comment on anything without mentioning PS. You're always so butt hurt about everything. Just play games no matter the console 🙃

ocelot072d ago

Can't believe I'm even taking the time to even reply to you.

When SOT released. It was barren it was boring. It has some neat ideas and the water was great. You know what else game was like this? No man's sky.

When SOT released. Not only did I dump on it. I took a massive diarrhea dump on it.

But like no man's sky. As years went on it got better and better and better. It got so good I bought it (not rent) on steam and it turned out to be a fun game years later.

So obscure what you are saying. Once you think a game is garbage. You are not allowed to change opinions? Not allowed to praise the devs for continuing working on the game for making it better. If that's the case you are a idiot.

I like what rare have done so much. I put my hand in my pocket and bought (not rent) SOT again on ps5. Just like I did with No man's sky's. Just like what I did with fallout 76. At release all 3 of them games where awful. Years of updates have made all 3 fun to play.

Now I could just flip what you said. Remember when Xbox fans dumped on No Man's sky? But loved it once it had updates and released on Xbox years later. But I'm not that type of small minded person. I'm glad developers continue on working on games way after release. I'm happy people can change there minds on a game once they see the improvements. But according to you. If you hated the game 6 years ago. You shouldn't be praising rare for a good job at making the game fun and enjoyable.

ravens522d ago

So confused when y'all say this lol. WHO do you think is buying this? Do you know how many people have PS5s? If you really think SONY FANBOYS are the ones buying this you are very delusional indeed. PS5 is a popular console, it's not just for the hardcore gamers.

BISHOP-BRASIL2d ago

Also it's not like MS is transparent with sales numbers like ever... Do we even know how many people actually still play this game to point at the issue being too many new PS5 players not just the puny servers left on a game that failed hard on release now being overloaded by a free trial on a re-release? I know the game got back on track and apparently went on to be quite good now (for those into this kind of game at least), but do we have actual player numbers or PS5 sales to draw these conclusions or it's just yet more engagement metrics bullshit like how many times someone walked the plank or some shit.

anast2d ago

How is this irony? A metric ton of people play Fortnite and CoD, some of the two sh#$% games on the planet. A cellphone monopoly game is pulling in billions and it's another sh#$ game. People will play these kinds of titles, but he won't invest in an entire system just for Sea of Thieves, which is why MS had to hand it over.

JackBNimble2d ago

Ps5 owner here , never trashed this game and I was thinking about a second console until Phil decided to put xbox games on ps5.
I also plan on getting sea of thieves, thank Phil for sinking your platform.

-Foxtrot2d ago

PlayStation, Xbox, whatever at launch it was shit

Hell even now I feel nothing for it despite the updates.

It's a far cry to what Rare used to do and it shouldn't take years for any game to get going or "get good".

There you happy.

Obscure_Observer1d 13h ago

"There you happy."

You hate most LS games, been those co-op or MP. And you have this weird fixation and obsession with the past.

So yeah, I´m happy for you to stay true with your character.

LOL! Sea Of Thieves on PS5 is still an unbelievable joke.

Zeref2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

And yet people love it. So??😐

Elda2d ago

You & your fanboys love it.

GamerRN2d ago

Just wait... If Next Gen Xbox is a PC hybrid, you'll be seeing PlayStation PC titles on Xbox... Gonna be interesting!

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Im not buying a MS game unless its Halo 1,2,3 and or Reach and the first three gears. Those are the only decent games and its says alot that they from the 360 generation.

Zeref2d ago

Sea of Thieves is also a decent game according to the sales it's been getting 🙂

Hofstaderman2d ago

If theres a demo I will check it out, otherwise GaaS is not really my cup of tea. My son is bugging me for a Skulls and Bones so he may be into this.

Michiel19892d ago

nah it just says that if it wasnt on ps at launch, you disregard it automatically because sony pony. Arc the Lad, Lost Odyssee, Blue Dragon, Splinter Cell, Psychonauts, Ori just to name a few. You are also wrong about the 360 era, Halo 1 and 2 released on the OG xbox. You know so little about it, yet talk shit with full confidence like the average twitter user. It's obnoxious.

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I was referring to Reach and Gears specifically. Also I actually had three 360 consoles. The RPGs sold me. Angry much? Not my fault MS screwed up two generations in a row and now their games are coming to Sony consoles. Be thankful, at least Sony owners will actually buy them

Michiel19892d ago (Edited 2d ago )

sure they fucked up 2 generations for the most part, doesn't mean that either their previous games are now garbage or that the games that are still great are suddenly bad.

It is sad we had to buy that many 360's, thankfully I only had to get 2

REDDURT2d ago

That is just a stupid comment.

TwoPicklesGood2d ago

The game is awesome.

All the stupid arguing back and forth between console warriors is ridiculous. Enjoy the games and have fun in the community. Stop acting like grade schoolers.

P_Bomb2d ago

Never been a SoT guy. Found it kinda boring and aimless. The preorders have been good enough to keep this porting experiment going tho. Curious what’s next.

It´s definitely going to be another Xbox banger on Playstation.

P_Bomb11d ago

250 trophies? That’s gotta be a launch record for PS.

Kaii11d ago

Two hundred and fifty trophies 🧐 lil bit too high perhaps >.>
