There was definitely a slave with a gamertag over top of it

"Hey let's meet up on the dock!"
"Can you come cut off my chains?"

MCD · Jun 15, 2015

Happy for Rare but still feel disappointed.

Can't say more than that.

Kingpin Rogers · Jun 15, 2015

Buying an xb1 if this is a pirate adventure/sim/mmo.

Ever since sid miers pirates I've needed a pirate sim game.

DeathoftheEndless · Jun 15, 2015

Not what I expected but it could be cool. Interested to see gameplay.

You can't? There must be a reason for that emotion.

Crayolan · Jun 15, 2015

For people asking "how is this not rare", the character it design says it all. Rare characters are always designed to look goofy or over the top.

Compare these Rare pirates:

With this Rareware pirate:

mazpratim · Jun 15, 2015

MMO?

Wow, it's fucking nothing

Storm Kyleis · Jun 15, 2015

Meh. Glad it's a new IP, but I found it quite disappointing.

QueenOfThorns · Jun 15, 2015

I'm not very excited if it's a MMO that requires lots of people to play at once. If it's a cool single player game that has online co-op that's fine, but...ehhh.

Still open minded about it though. I want to see gameplay, and maybe confirmation that it doesn't have to be online or anything.

Nozem · Jun 15, 2015

That water looked insane.

BaronMonstro · Jun 15, 2015

Damn that looked good. Loved the pirate stuff in AC4 so I'm really hyped for this, I always wanted more pirate themed games as a kid.

Leflus · Jun 15, 2015

I love the graphics and the concept, but I'm a bit disappointed that it's an MMO-like game.

I was hoping for a new single-player adventure. Will still try it, though. It looked like fun.

Phamit · Jun 15, 2015

Some will never be pleased, some people only want the same shit Rare produced 10-20 years ago

wishdom · Jun 15, 2015

So I guess Rare will continue developing the game after release too, like every MMO out there.
Not a bad thing if the game turns out great.

Chobel · Jun 15, 2015

MMO only? Can it be played solo?

And this was like Lionhead game tbh, didn't get any Rare vibe from it.

OrbitalBeard · Jun 15, 2015

I'm not an MMO guy but damnit, I'm probably going to have to check this out. I'm happy to see Rare try something new that isn't Kinect Sports-related. I personally have no need for them to revisit their older IPs (though I wouldn't be sad if a new Battletoads is being worked on!).

pantsmith · Jun 15, 2015

Would be neat if it was like No Mans Sky, but with pirates.

MMO's are online-only. Think FF14, World Of Warcraft, etc..

Murder. She Wrote · Jun 15, 2015

I don't get the disappointment, this game looks fantastic.

Gartooth · Jun 15, 2015

Wow fuck this, all this teasing for an online MMO.

The Rare Collection sounds nice but isn't worth a console purchase since I still have copies of most of those games. Guess it is time to give more money to Playtonic.

Empty · Jun 15, 2015

cool. i like rare when they're in a weird inventive surprising mood like viva pinata, nuts & bolts, not so much when they're in mediocre miyamoto cover mood. i think people who want the old style will be well catered for on kickstarter anyway.

iMax · Jun 15, 2015

I'm so fucking done with pirates.

This is probably why this game didn't grab me. I like the colorful visuals but the it factor is missing. It's not the same without the Rare charm.

Mr Git · Jun 15, 2015

Looks charming and wonderful. Very pleased Rare is doing something that isn't shovelware.

Dabanton · Jun 15, 2015

I'm currently playing through AC:Black Flag so a more fun MP experience of that kind of game is quite exciting.

Are ship battles against other players?

MarkusRJR · Jun 15, 2015

Looking at the trailer again it doesn't even look like a rare game. Looks super generic.

Even more disappointed this is all they have to show.

Rembrandt · Jun 15, 2015

This game looked insane to me.

silver.tongue · Jun 15, 2015

So, why does MS insists on keeping Conker hidden?

The franchise has so much potential.

Disappointment is based on what this isnt not with what it is.

Illucio · Jun 15, 2015

I wonder if this game will star Captain Blackeye.... If he's in the game as the main villain/character/ect. Then I will say for sure this game will be officially awesome.

Leafhopper · Jun 15, 2015

I get the disappointed comments but, the fact that people are still just throwing "MMO" under the bus is a little sad.

spliced · Jun 15, 2015

Sadly I saw nothing that stood out as interesting in that video.

Uhyve · Jun 15, 2015

Looks so good... but I just can't see myself arranging to play with 5 or 6 people every time I want to play. Hell, I only know 1 other person who owns an Xbox One, I'd have to rely on randoms, at that point NPCs seem preferable.

Ensirius · Jun 15, 2015

I do not want to play a pirate, I want to BE a pirate.
In all seriousness, this looked really good.

MaxwellParrish · Jun 15, 2015

I really like the art style of this game ! I think it seems pretty impressive technologically too considering this is going to be a MMORG

arimanius · Jun 15, 2015

Looks really interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on this and hopefully it turns out good.

CalamityPixel · Jun 15, 2015

The true essence of Rare is taking a genre (whether it be motion sports, 3D platforming, FPS, Fighting Games etc) and turning it into something special and unique.

MMO is a new step for Rare's already massive stable.

This is Rare.

Well I imagine a lot of people were looking forward to a new single player adventure and MMO guarantees they won't be getting that.

MastaKilla · Jun 15, 2015

I wish Tales of Monkey Island looked like this!

Vigilant Walrus · Jun 15, 2015

It goes without saying that I hope this game turns out great!

Fezan · Jun 15, 2015

wow that looked fantastic not only conceptually but also graphically

Huge letdown that it's an MMO.

Yep.

From interested to zero

gogojira · Jun 15, 2015

So fucking good, game of the conference for me. Can't wait to sail the seas with friends.

Lazaro · Jun 15, 2015

Looks like "Early Access" type game for now.

I believe this was the game RARE was working on using UE4.

Nipo · Jun 15, 2015

This isn't going to be F2P right?

Gen X · Jun 15, 2015

The art style reminded me of Monkey Island/TF2, which isn't a bad thing.

Anth0ny · Jun 15, 2015

No interest in a MMO.

Hopefully there's an offline single player mode of some sort.

DrD · Jun 15, 2015

I was expecting a new IP, but I was also expecting it to be a 3D platformer so this surprised me. I love pirates but a MMO... it's not for me.

Rare still has another unannounced game running on Unity, don't they?

RK128 · Jun 15, 2015

Project Dream lives! That could be why the Rare founder was hinting at leaking the prototypes for Dream; hyping up this new Rare tittle.

I know many wanted a new Banjo or Battletoads....but this is the smarter direction for Rare I think

. Many people who were originally at Rare are gone and while a good deal of the Banjo team is present still, they shouldn't try to surpass the tittles they worked on in the past.

This is a new Rare, similar to how Retro was 'new' when DKCR was announced; new people under the same name. Like what Retro did, I hope Rare does here, making an new IP or doing something they have never done before and nailing that, showing the world "Hey! We are still Rare. Just a little bit different then before

".

I wonder if Grant is going to make the soundtrack, as if this mirrors Project Dream in any fashion, I would love to hear his Dream OST come back in full force

. Today is a great day to be a fan of Rare and I have hope they also announce more games in the future (maybe that rumored Battletoads game is an Gamescom announcement).

Mobius 1 · Jun 15, 2015

Rare can't win, the poor bastards. Looks absolutely beautiful and charming, but in a MMO carcass.

Jawbreaker · Jun 15, 2015

I was excited for a new Rare IP, but this... this is not what I had in mind at all. Can't say I'm looking forward to it, unfortunately.
