Enricko at Sirus Gaming: I know that there are a lot of people that are hyped for this game, but is it really going to be that good? Xbox One owners are pining for this game to salvage the system’s reputation and there’s a possibility it could do just that.
However, I don’t think that it’s going to be enough.
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.
A good idea that is going to be dead in the water frankly.
ah... MS didn't make PUBG. Generic hate piece.
Time will tell, but I've slowly been swayed to thinking the game will be much more successful than I first thought.
It's got the perfect formula for a persistent online title. It is highly accessible and family friendly. Thanks to Game Pass, the cost of entry plummeted to a budget-friendly level. It's in that Minecraft-Fortnite territory, and like those titles, it is a perfect fit for the Youtube, Twitch, and of course, Mixer crowds.
They might have a hit. It will not sway those outspoken people who may believe all games need to fit into the mature, cinematic SP genre. That's clearly not the audience. The millions buying, playing, and viewing other games in the same category is the target here. On paper, they've served up a winning formula.
Ironically, the first thing you hear from detractors like this author is: "I watched people play, and I think it's going to fail."
Kids watch Minecraft streams by the bucketloads with far less going on. If we gauge SoT's success by its streaming pressence thus far, it might be pretty big.
Oh Sirusgaming you cannot be serious :D
I hope not! Seems very promising imo! :)
