Go to 9:35 and 23:05

Looks gorgeous.

 

[RedRum]

Oh wow. You had my curiosity, SoT. Now you've got my attention.

 

[Zeta Oni]

20:25 to 20:50 would make an excellent gif.

This game looks sublime.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Good lord that banter is like getting hit in the ears with an ice pick.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

yes yes yes

 

[FATALITY]

the game looks cool. but those actors are horrible.

 

[Sou Da]

Huh. So their merpeople are cursed to slowly mutate into full fish people, cool.

 

[SlimySnake]

Wow. the overreactions in that vid are insane. The guy had to put his controller down because he couldn't believe he was playing a rare game? This is so lame.

Game looks decent graphically.

 

[FelipeMGM]

The enviromental shots are amazing

The footage with people screaming over gameplay is trash though

 

[TimmiT]

Is all footage of Sea of Thieves going to be accompanied by people trying to be obnoxious let's players?

 

[H3xum]

Looks very carefree. I love the vibe.

 

[Finaj]

the game looks cool. but those actors are horrible.

Those aren't actors....

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Wow this is going to be a looker on PC.

 

[Masterspeed]

the game looks cool. but those actors are horrible.

They're not actors, they're just fans of the game who got first plays. You should watch streamers on Youtube, now that's annoying and horrible.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

"I can see my foot!!!" Well I'm sold.

 

[blue_phazon]

the game looks cool. but those actors are horrible.

They weren't actors.

And you have to keep in mind that these are Rare superfans who won a contest to visit the studio so you can imagine how hyped they'd be.

Go to 9:35 and 23:05

Looks gorgeous.

Holy mother of God, the world design, the foliage, the lighting, the art style looks incredibly impressive! Rare is back, baby!

 

[JaggedSac]

Where da gifs?

 

[Sydle]

The water is just crazy impressive and the day-to-night cycle is fantastic.

I love how this is coming together. I wish there were some kind of solo campaign too, but I'll get over it.

 

[etta]

Feast yer eyes on the incredible art:

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

The skull cloud is one of my favorite clips in there. Especially with the beautiful sun reflecting off of it!

 

[Rflagg]

Game looks amazing, and like it could be good fun too.

 

[krang]

I'm in. Good work, Rare.

 

[flkraven]

Where da gifs?

plllleeease. I'm at work and can't view videos.

 

[SneakersSO]

I'm sorry, nothing about this looks all that intriguing to me. Happy for the people this is resonating with though, but this just looks like a full pass from me.

 

[SOR5]

thanks for footage OP (gifs dont really do it justice though)

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Feast yer eyes on the incredible art:

oh lord

 

[Falchion]

This actually looks really cool, hope it's fun!

 

[Movalpolos]

Really excited about this game.
I imagine I'll be yelling the whole time in my mic like in that E3 gameplay.

 

[BaronMonstro]

This is steadily becoming one of my most anticipated games, every new bit of footage looks amazing.

Definitely helps I've always loved the pirate fantasy and consider it a disappointment we don't have more games that take advantage of it.

 

[PanicFreak]

Looks gorgeous.

 

[FATALITY]

Those aren't actors....

They're not actors, they're just fans of the game who got first plays. You should watch streamers on Youtube, now that's annoying and horrible.

oh okay :O

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Man, this game is starting to look like it could be something very special. I can't wait.

 

[Sou Da]

Got a merpeople gif?

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

 

[drotahorror]

Looks good, can't tell if it's fun though.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Looks great, but hearing those fools just making noises for some "commentary" has me like:

Would love to play this with my Pops. Last time I visited him and brought my PS4 with AssCreed: Black Flag he was addicted.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

I'm going to visit that tiny island, drink some grog and play a few sea shanties.

 

[Citadel]

For some reason, I've always had a disliking for the whole "pirate" aesthetic; never understood the appeal. But damn, this game looks phenomenal. Can't wait to try it out

 

[dh4niel]

Sure it all looks very nice but where's the actual game?

 

[SpiceMelange]

This game looks Rare as fuck. They're back.

Sure it all looks very nice but where's the actual game?

The game is you're a pirate and you do pirate activities.

 

[blue_phazon]

Sure it all looks very nice but where's the actual game?

Oh god this is gonna be like No Mans Sky for the Xbox lmao

 

[element]

They weren't actors.

And you have to keep in mind that these are Rare superfans who won a contest to visit the studio so you can imagine how hyped they'd be.

Yeah, not actors. Probably super fans and YT/Twitch people. Exactly what I would expect from people who developed an "online personality".

 

[EmiPrime]

Sure it all looks very nice but where's the actual game?

It does look a bit like an aimless sandbox. By now I would have hoped to see some quests and details on progression.

 

[Business]

Good lord that banter is like getting hit in the ears with an ice pick.

Seriously, made me quit watching.

 

[SOR5]

Yeah, not actors. Probably super fans and YT/Twitch people. Exactly what I would expect from people who developed an "online personality".

They really were just regular people, some from this website

 

[Mashing]

YEah, this game might sell me on an Xbox One if it turns out to be good.

 

[Loxley]

It looks beautiful, but like with E3, I would love to see some direct-feed gameplay of this without people screaming over it.

 

[Metalingus5150]

Will there be melee combat?

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

I love the art style and the sea looks amazing. And during the ingame parts the only thing I could think about was how amazing this could be as an action adventure or RPG in third and/or first person with lots of islands to sail to and NPCs to talk to. As lovely as it all looks and the atmosphere is spot on too, I still don't have a clear idea what I can expect from the gameplay. Nor do they really show it. It would not surprise me if this is still early days for the game. As fun as going to the bar having a drink with your pirate buddies sound, and dive down to find treasure and stuff and of course the naval combat, there has to be more to it I'm sure. We'll just have to wait and see. But this one has great potential.
