watching Keighlys stream. Water is amazing. Game looks super fun

 

[Herbspiceguy]

"Look, you can only try our game if you give us craaaazy reactions okay?"

Game looks allright. I prefer the gritty tone of Blackwake over this personally.

 

[Philippo]

I want to be a pirate with my friends so fucking bad!
Will definitely try if i'll have a decent PC by the time it comes.

 

[Cipher Peon]

Extremely uninterested in the pirates theme and the multiplayer, but after Rare Replay, Rare has so much goodwill with me that I'll try anything!

 

[Salty Hippo]

Commentary seemed very genuine to me. I mean, it's a bunch of Rare fans playing, how can it not be?

 

[RoyalFool]

Looks incredible, so glad to see Rare being allowed to flex it's creative muscle again.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

Commentary seemed very genuine to me. I mean, it's a bunch of Rare fans playing, how can it not be?

It was totally genuine. The game is a blast to play. There were so many memorable moments from those sessions that came about organically because of the sandbox their building.

 

[D1renegade]

I wonder if you can board enemy ships and hijack their vessel

 

[pitchfork]

Can't wait to get my own pirate crew up and running

Game looks like an absolute joy!

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

This game looks so rad

Nutted but she still suckin

Did you guys have any idea you'd be a part of the E3 video?

 

[jelly]

Ship stuff was cool but the rest looks so barren and clunky, movement is like Minecraft.

 

[Black Mantis]

I smiled all the way through this, looks great fun. Usually those floating heads come across as cheesy and forced, but they genuinely appeared to be having a blast. Kudos Rare.

 

[OverturePT]

Is there any stream going on showing more stuff or something?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

This was by far my favorite game at the show.
Just love the style they are going for. The idea of you having an actual crew that has to rigg up your boat to make it sea worthy is so rad.

Also that water was AMAZING

 

[Simo]

One of the guys in the trailer works with me on Rare fansite and podcast. (He's the one that is very excited about the captains quarters.)

Here is his full hands on with the game.

Oh man impressions sound great! So you can team up as a crew of 12? Sounds like it's still limited to a "4 man squad" though?

 

[The Albatross]

The fan reactions were super annoying to me in the video (I muted it), but I do believe they were genuine in the same way that Let's Play commentary is genuine in games like GTA Online. People play those games and film themselves for their reactions to moments in the game, it's not for me and I don't do that stuff, but some people really like it.

 

[Vico]

Loved the demo, but they really need to show that there is more to this game. For now it seems empty, both literally in the world and in the game mechanics.

 

[JaggedSac]

Game looks like great fun. Love the art style. Terrible gameplay reveal. No offense to the good fans that were in it, but I'm not a fan of listening to that sort of chatter.

 

[TheRealTalker]

game of the MS show for me

 

[Melon Husk]

I still don't know what you do in this game.

 

[brokenbeans]

This looks a lot of fun.

 

[MrPressStart]

I want this yesterday!!!

Any idea of a release date?

 

[watership]

I really want to play this game.

 

[blackflag]

Wow that looked fun. The only thing I've been impressed with so far today.

 

[psyfi]

This game looks so dope. Definitely my highlight of the conference, and I'm generally turned off by pirate themed things.

 

[Schryver]

Looks good. Hype

 

[Gurnlei]

Video has me hyped. Hope there's a lot more to the game than just ship battles, but it looks fun.

 

[Strootman]

Awesome game.

 

[Outrun]

For anyone curious here are my impressions:

The game is so much freaking fun and it really does look that good! Dem waves!

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'll try to answer at some point. Pretty busy at E3 right now

Can you mutiny?!

 

[Ape]

Sea of thieves - VR

Can you imagine

 

[Neiteio]

Wow, that looks great!

I wonder what the players do once their ship is sunk, though. Like how do they get a new one? Can they swim really fast and overtake another player's ship?

 

[Zakard]

This looks like alot of fun!

 

[KingHenrik30]

Nothing gets me more pumped for a game than watching corny people play it...

 

[Gnomist]

Is there a preview floating around out there that gives us some more info? Is this small scale co-op or is it like a pirate-themed DayZ where anything goes and all your stuff can get stolen by other bands of pirates?

 

[Stat!]

Looked awesome. Loved the presentation too. Just people playing together and having fun

 

[TheCanisDirus]

[Mixolydian]

Looks very fun. Looking forward to all the previews. Was really hoping for a demo though.

 

[Netherscourge]

Is this an open-world MMO?

Or sandboxed, single-session/mission game?

Looks very cool.

 

[Granjinha]

Yeah, the more i think about it the more i like it. All of it seemed VERY dinamic and natural, too.

All of it seems to be coming together really well. Seems like a nice comeback for Rare.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

What they showed during the conference looked really bad. But I'm not sure if that was due to the game or due to the shittiness of the exaggerated shouting of the "players" pretending to play the game rubbing off on my perception of the game.

Feeling forced to put in people very obviously pretending to enjoy a game is not a sign of confidence. Good gameplay speaks for itself

 

[Falchion]

You can drink grog!

 

[Shrike_Priest]

This looks fun as hell. Love the concept of being a pirate crew.

Is it a sandbox a la Division? Or is it more match-made?

 

[Alienous]

Looks like an afternoon worth of fun.

Those were all people that made videos for a contest to get a chance to play the game first, some of em are on GAF.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Looked really good. I'm only concerned on what will keep me hooked on the game after the initial wow factors. Also the way they demo'd it, it seems heavily dependent on having a group to play with that has mics.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

If that's the case, they were too heavily directed to come off as excited. Didn't feel realistic even if they genuinely enjoyed it. No one would be shouting that loudly in an actual session

 

[dLMN8R]

At least the commentary during this demo was bearable compared to the atrocious commentators from the Battlefield 1 gameplay yesterday....I literally didn't watch the BF1 demo because the commentators were so incredibly obnoxious. Had to turn it off after 30 seconds.

I assure you that we were not faking it. I understand how it may come across that way, but it wasn't. It was legitimate expressions from us having a blast with the game. It's seriously a lot of fun!

 

[Calaius]

I'm so hyped about this game. I hope there will be tons of content.
