Turns out they were making a PS5 port.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@Sink778What’s wrong with that?
@@AGreenPotato180absolutely nothing. It's GREAT for the game. Those Xbox and PS diehard fanboys don't want their "eXcLuSiVeS" going on any other platforms. 🤷
@@nicholas.alan85 I’m Xbox and I can’t wait for PlayStation players to play the game My biggest fear with the port is the servers are going to be extremely unstable, but I can’t wait to meet some new Swabby
@@Sink778 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Given only 2% of community members are currently talking about SOT 2 I heard they cancelled it and began developing SOT 3
LOL, the reference is crazy
Comment of the Day
Valve, take notes
@@_flip87 omg, that hurt and sometimes still hurts
Yep alongside gta VII, rare got the license
The one thing I miss from the game currently, is exploration. Discovering not just new islands and regions, but new discoverable caverns and chambers from doing new voyages, tall tales, factions, etc. This is what I would be most excited by for a sequel.
SoT 2 would low key be a mistake. Unless they can do what csgo did when they switched to cs2 and everyone kept everything SoT 2 would be dead off launch. It’s been a live service for to long to think people are just going to grind out another game. if they keep servers up for SoT no one will switch over to SoT 2 to start over and if they kill support for SoT most of the player base will be bitter and will just leave the “franchise”.
I think they will move over certain cosmetics perhaps, for example I have the obsidian 6 pack, a ferryman pack and some others I can't remember. Maybe you won't get those exact cosmetics, but you may get a substantial substitute.@@brennancondon3357
If there is a new game I hope they add more things for players to do with each other.. The biggest thing ive wanted is a update to taverns so we can play cards and bet currency on the games and it lets us have fun with new crews.
Agreed!
This will never happen, they went into this already. If they add any form of "betting" the age rating for the game would go up.
If you want an open world sandbox game with gambling then just play gta online
Or we could just have it in this game..?@@LemonDani
@@WesleyVossyup when they added the dice roll emote I was like wow you guys are testing some waters here...
If there is a sequal I want all cosmetics to be movable to the next game
And our pirates somehow.
This is a must. Many of us have so much time and money invested in this game. Especially through the Emporium.
cosmetics are the main part of the game. yeah, you fight and sink ships and explore and find treasure, but you do all of that to get gold, and then cosmetics. I heavily doubt that they won't let you load your SoT1 pirate to SoT2, lots of players would probably quit if they didnt
Have to. I want my pirate too.
What game ever has ever done this?
I'm really hoping they do a massive overhaul to the game, but if they do end up making a sequel, I hope they allow for character transfer, even if stuff like levels and currency are reset, having coms and cosmetics transfer would make a lot of people happy I feel, cause the grind for some of the unlocks isn't worth it again to many.
I would be so sad to lose my character, the roleplay aspect of SoT is underrated.
maybe the character, but they will never let u move your unlocks.....new game means..u start from zero..also with cosmetics because they want...and to some point need to sell those.
@@Shadowclaw25some people spent thoasends of dollars on rare DLCs/cosmetics just deleting the game wouldn't be fair
life isnt about fair....if they make a new game...of course u wont keep your stuff. When the hell happened that EVER anywhere....it did not..never.
Were not talking about a dlc ..its talking about a new game.
Also what is fair about forcing developers to make a game where you already have everything....that will cut the winnings by alot...its cosmetics..if you bought so much of them...u seem to have the money...so buy it again. Or look like everybody else...and get your looks by playing the game.
@@Seveno_o
wishful thinking. none of those things are likely to happen
As the game has received more content and new features the game has arguably become more demanding performance wise so I think that Rare is trying to focus on stability. People want new stuff but I think it’s crucial to get the game to a playable standard. I think it’s been long enough that rare can stop support for old generations of console. This would open a lot of doors.
The game runs better now than it did before
Whilst I feel a sequel may happen, I would rather they just relaunched the game with a new engine/servers. In their most recent podcast they talked about lots of sandbox additions for 2024 and I don’t think they would spend time developing them if they could just save them for the sequels release.
If they develop things for sot ‘1’, it wouldn’t take shorter time to develop it for sot ‘2’. There is no sequel coming, cause they’re still updating their current version with huge updates. Why would it need a sequel tho? It’s a really cool game as how it is now.
@@ssttiaan For the reasons, listed in the video: Improved server stability, more regions, more things to do
@@jjopificationall things they can add and update on the current game, if they plan on a big big update they can call it sea of thieves 2.0
Sea of thieves 1.5 would be great in my opinion. Not necessarily a sequel but a remake as we have seen with other games (ARK, Overwatch and CS:GO) utilizing a new engine, giving the game a fresh new feel, yet keeping the original charm and feel, while also solving performance issues and such. In my opinion they are better off with a refreshed version rather than a whole new game.
You’re an idiot, opinions are wrong…
We need something to really jolt the community alive again.
Only 2 years ago, I was *strongly* against the idea of a sequel. Now, I'm warming up to the idea. I think that, over the years, the technical debt has become more and more of a problem for Sea of Thieves, both the developers and the players alike. They've already had to get inventive just to get things like Monkey Island off the ground. As such, I find things have been feeling worse and worse lately.
A lot of the veterans I used to roll with regularly are either extremely pessimistic about SoTs future, or just burnt out to the point they no longer care. At this point, genuine consideration should be given to "What comes next".
Should they choose to make a full blown sequel or just a reboot/remastered version... I don't really care. As long as they use what they've learned over the years to build a strong foundation for the future... I'm all aboard! What I would give to feel excited for my favorite game again...
Love the video, but as a game director here, I really doubt they would launch a SoT 2 for the next 5 years or more. What I see is that the current SoT uses an old version of Unreal Engine. which causes serious limitations when trying to implement new systems, areas, procedural events and etc. So... My guess is that they will update the engine and make a reboot of the game. Bringing us back to a season 1 of the new game. But, its just a guess..
The only way I'll play a sequel is if all the cosmetics we've earned in SoT are transfered to SoT 2, because I don't want all the hours of grind gone to waste.
What if i told you, that all your grinding for cosmetics that ultimately mean nothing, has already gone to waste?
@@DisiplynThen I'd say it's the funniest thing I've seen all day.
Ships leaving wake, seeing the anchor, and a new world with server meshing need to be a thing.
I (a ps5 player) am honestly glad this game came to playstation. It is definitely the best pirate game i've ever played or seen, now granted, there isn't really any other pirate game to give it any competition, I feel like SoT may scare any other company to even try since I dont really think there could ever be a fair competitor to this game.
I'll just say that if they'll make SoT 2, I hope they'll let us keep some of the cosmetics from the current SoT.
A new engine with new mechanics would be a breath of ftesh air. Maybe with solo pvp servers and lose the hopping around for hand-to-hand combat.
The only game in existence where 50% of your gun shots DONT COUNT and everybody loves it.
They're definitely not developing a sequel, at the very most they'd be considering one, as we are. From a developmental standpoint, no team would work as much as they have overhauling and fine tuning the game's system like they have, just to move on. The closest thing to a sequel I see this game receiving is either some mobile game, or a 2.0 update like Overwatch.
I agree something must be happening behind the seas. I doubt it’s a sequel. I would imagine perhaps server upgrades, an optimized version for last gen consoles, then perhaps an expansion from there where you can portal to a new map or something.
Honestly I'd be doing nothing but safer seas if the severe hamstringing of what you can do in it wasn't there. Progression and money earned in it being 30% is fine. But why no captaincy?
I think the recent rumors of a PS5 port is probably what slowed down 2023 content.
Well we probably have about 4 or 5 years considering when sot dropped and the fact that Jon, Joe, Andrew have stated multiple times they intended for sot to be a 10 year game.
Slapping a 2 on a game doesn't work though. And I'm sure plenty of people out there would feel betrayed if they have to start all the way from the beginning after spending thousands of hours in this game actually I would feel pretty fucking betrayed.
Unless its a looter where you can actually get better gear for your character, not going to happen.
SoT1, sail the empty seas searching for players while grinding loot to get money to unlock cosmetics that all look like bright, colorful , seashells. . .
SoT2 would need to be much, much more than that. .
With PoTC and its ship combat, it has all the potential to be great. But grinding just for "cosmetics" is not going to cut it for an MMO.
Dungeons, Raids, Getting better gear to show off to others, ship upgrades, charaters you can customize yourself vs letting Rng pick, a Hub island safezone where everyone starts their journey with massive docks for everyones ships. .. . Professions, leveling certain skills like fishing and cooking, stamima, attack. . Sooo much they could do. Will they? Probably not. If they do?
Then we can say
"Thats the best pirate game ive ever seen"
Till then
"Grinding for nothing but shellfish cosmetics sucks" . .
you have just said what i have been thinking for about half a year, their is NO WAY a dev team this big working with other dev teams can craft so little in a year.
i hope they do make sot 2 because that would be a great way to 'fix' the game and have a better launch
Yeah sot is 100% on life support and I really hope they are making sot 2 because I love sot but can't bring myself to play it with the state it's in and ugly weapon animations that can't be cancelled by quick swap and an ugly hitmarker with no content and really bad rubber banding
i miss arena
Bring it! Build upon the stuff we alredy have but for the live of piratehood have more depth with weapon/ monster/ ship variations, types.
1: Have monstrous " Moby " whales and killer whales with 4-6 color variations and personalities/ way they behave ( by species ). Have one thats the apex. Use the Megalodon as basis regarding variations. Say we have a black Stalking Wraith " Moby " whale that haunts the Roars. Also sea serpents and monstrous killer whales. Could you imagine getting swallowed WHOLE on a rowboat by a .. mreps whale?
2: Improve the combat. Its clunky Imo. And add more weapons and variations of each type to get SKILLED at. Impact at gameplay but never be able to pay to " win ". Have Rapiers, Falchions f.ex. Cutlasses be the slowest but most dmging. Rapier the fastest, Falchions in the middle. All with unique animations, pros and cons. Let us get masteries of the weapons with unique looks/ designs.
3: Keep Safer Seas and High Seas. However... an extra challengin ONE life Iron mode/ Hardcore mode for bigger risk/ rewards. Even a realistic mode to maybe disable some functions like shooting yourself out with cannons.
4: Have character customization and let us choose between being mainly left or right handed. We play role as a pirate of ourself. Why the blazings do we lefties 95% of games never be able to reflect that?? No excuses really
5: Different ammo types. Elemental, magical, etheral. The cursed cannon balls are a great inspiration. But yeah need balancing. Rather balance/ have options than " NOPE! Cant have such potentially great things, we rather contentgate it/ ignore it than bother to actually TRY hard and make it work 🤪"
I think you are spot on with the foundation problem. Sea of Thieves foundation is not built very well and it probably needs a complete overhaul and my guess its the biggest reason why you are not seeing more content. They started adding to it and all the glaring problems popped up. It's probably so bad they just keep quiet and try to fix it as best they can and hope no players figure it out. So they kick the can down the hallway with these intense and secret scavenger hunts to keep you distracted while they try to figure things out. It sounds like it just can't be done without remaking the whole game from the ground up and re releasing it, which will cause a huge player outcry and might actually kill the game. Treacherous waters here for sure but I think it will work out in the end.
I'm just hoping that the new Sea of Thieves transfers everything from the first Sea of Thieves to it since then it'd save a lot of time
If they make SoT 2 I really hope they get better servers for it so we can have more ships around at once. And of course transfer all earned and bought cosmetics...
As it stands on the high seas, there's either nobody anywhere or everybody's trying to kill you. No middle ground anymore
They are definitely working on something bigger then that little thing they are doing. There is no way they are letting the game die like this.
I do not understand why so many people in the comments are against a sequel because of their existing cosmetics. I’m sorry but when it comes to video games I think having new, fun experiences is more important than latching on to some crappy hull livery I spent a Saturday grinding for a year and a half ago
Oh boy, time to write a super long comment that nobody will bother reading! :D
I dont personally think that a sequel would be a great idea currently, considering how many things have been added to the game recently that have leveling systems, such as the hourglass levels, captaincy, and guilds, alongside base stuff like ancient coins, cosmetics, ship trinkets and so on. All of these things that people have worked/paid for would be lost when moving over to the sequel
What I do personally think would be best for the game's longevity would be dropping support for the older generation of consoles, and only supporting current gen, as it would allow the devs to add new things to the game without having to concern themselves with the limitations of past-gen consoles. It may also allow them to upgrade their engine to make server performance and hit reg detection better (i dont know how true this is though, im no game dev).
Of course, this is just my opinion, and im sure that microsoft's contracts and the like make it difficult for rare to even consider dropping support for old consoles, but its just my view on the matter
TL;DR: The original xbox one is old and causes the game to follow its limitations, let the game move on from it
Idk if its just me, but the game seems to be bursting at the seams; i'm running on a 6800xt, and on certain parts of the map, Port Merrick especially, my fps drops from 90-120 all the way down to 30-45
Port Merrick is terrible for everyone no matter what your PC has inside. Too many objects are loading at the same time. You can experience similar fps drop if you have even two stacks of FOTD on ship.
yes the game is terribly optimised
Stopped playing in June, woke up and thought I’m done with it. Been playing since beta and never saw the shrouded ghost.
I hope they revive the game with another huge update similar to anniversary
I think a second game would ruin it, people who have recently started and havent gotten their favorite cosmetics yet like myself, a 2nd game would really ruin the first one for me, id have to restart everything and im not ready to start, it would only appeal to veterans whove played since release.
they should just add 1 small 1 medium and 1 large ship to the game it would blow up again; remember the hype for the rowboat?
edit: I really hope they don't add a sequel yet I dont want this game to die
Yeah i feel like a sequel is definitely on the way, but i don't think it will come until the next generation of consoles.
pess x to doubt i dont think there gonna make a sot 2 theyre probbably just gonna keep updating sot
I think something like this may be bound to happen. Sea of Thieves has been successful for years now but soon or later the game will be running on old systems that won't be able to keep with new content to keep players engaged. So SoT2 does open up opportunities to bringing in content and mechanics that were maybe scraped like new regions. But no doubt there will be cons that will come with SoT2.
I don't think the strain on servers necessarily means a guaranteed sequel. There are a fair bit of games doing big overhauls without a relaunch right now. FF14 getting a major graphical overhaul next expansion which is in about a year, and probably a closer comparison being Hunt Showdown also doing its own overhaul in April. I don't mind if they went the sequel route, but if they could manage to make the necessary changes without a full sequel i think it would be better overall
8:08 I hope you have a delicious and digestible hat then.
We'll see about that
I would love to see an engine upgrade and a better server-side experience with a sequel, allowing more content expansion as well as a larger more populated shared world instance. The current shared world is small and with few ships. Rare has and continues to do a good job alleviating this problem by giving players lots of things to do in that shared environment that doesn't require player interaction, or attracts large instances of player interaction.
If sea of thieves 2 were given more proper server infrastructure, similar to how Embark designed the servers for "The Finals" to handle exactly what the game was made for in order to boost performance, I could definitely see the Sea Of Thieves shared world quadruple in map size and player counts at a baseline. Especially considering the current servers Rare are using were never designed to handle the kind of computation required to ensure clients have accurate information on the game state. Having a stronger backend could really open things up development-wise.
An engine upgrade and new server infrastructure is a massive undertaking however, so I'd imagine the release of a sequel not adding a ton of extra content right off the bat which might disappoint some folks, and it would need to be timed so that the number of players on older hardware represents the smallest minority of players within the community, because there's no way they could or should manage two different backends for the first and second game. Realistically the transition to a sequel would have to happen in the same vein as Overwatch where the old servers were shut down and new ones were brought up.
If Sot 2 has arena then I’m coming back to the series
I'm all on board with this idea. Sea of thieves but with better technology and a more solid foundation so it will get even bigger. Yes, I hope that's the case
if we had a sequel there would have to be far more RPG elements. the complete sea explorable underwater and large lands with cities not just islands with full dialogue with NPCs oh and a Campaign of some kind. a better combat system as well (honestly blocking is STILL USELESS)
basically an EXTREMELY tall order but a new foundation to build on thats bigger than SOT 1.
a 3 lives system before moving you into a new server would be pretty cool as well. smite the player ruining the server and never see them again.
this is an unbelievably tall order but the only viable reason to make a sequel would have to be something they'll make more money from than a free update.
It was lack of content new players couldnt enjoy.
It was Not lack of content.
It was the gate keeping by players and the moderators on the official forums.
Even with safer seas ALOT of the ego maniacs are acting like sadist after you take a plaything away.
A few think 30% gold restrictions are too generous ALOT whine no skins or curses should be unlocked.
The game died because of gatekeepers and narcissistic idiots.
Look at the reviews then go to its official forums you'll see it.
The "real" problems with sea of thieves.
an update being sold as a separate game never goes over well. Such examples are State of Decay and the year 1 edition, Ark evolved and it's ascended version, Overwatch and it's "sequel" Overwatch 2.
RARE already said they will never make SOT 2
They have never said this.
@@AShinyRay Sure did. Joe Neate said it in an interview
@@BORN2LOSE13 drop the link
wont matter if they make a new game, the style and idea of a pirate game is done.
It may still be too soon for a sequel. I get the game is years old but theres so much more they could add before a sequel even gets announced. New regions would be great. New weapon types. More advanced voyages (higher company levels too) more tall tales, a player pirate cove for you to mount trophies, trinkets and treasures to depict your successes and fortunes, add guild voyages, extend athenas fortune, maybe add Athenas Vaults (Ancient Vault of Legends) etc so much they can try before releasing a sequel in UE5
In 2022 I had this feeling that 2023 would be the last year for SOT (at least in its current incarnation, held back by the old xbox one). Then everyone was doing Unreal 5 optimization and I thought that might change things a bit. But either way the 2023 year has had me wondering a LOT.
On twitter I initially predicted that the game would go on hiatus for SOT2 in 3rd quarter 2023 and thinking it would come back relatively quick like first of the year.
What happened didn't feel too different than my prediction so far...
One of the reasons i hate this game is for the lack of audio instead of text when talking to most NPCs which can be easily be fixed for a low cost using ai custom voices that can be tweaked by the studio for quality. Also, I do think we need sea of theives 2 but for the upcoming generation in 2026.
As long as I can keep all my cosmetics and my pirate progress, go right ahead make a part two
sot 2 would be crazy as long as I get to keep my character
I was thinking the same thing today dude! The lack of expansion on the map and that it makes sense as we are all ready for new islands and adventures post xbox one original.
I honestly doubt any of this is happening although I would love to see them re release this game with some new content but mainly tons of fixing with issues (LOOKING AT YOUR HIT REG) Possibly more parts of the map as well. It should be a re release for all the newer consoles though so they can do much more since right now they are probably very hindered by the old gens they have to be on
Imagine all your stuff u worked hard for all stick in SOT1 can’t be used in 2
What I find really problematic is the fact that they prefer to spend money on licenses, introducing new but very generic worlds that you play once and never touch again unless you want the rewards and titles. However, innovations that truly complement the game in the long run have been rather scarce, aside from Saver Seas, in recent years. Additionally, there are bugs and glitches that haven't been fixed since release, and in general, it feels like Rare is more interested in attracting new players with big names like Disney or Monkey Island than rewarding existing players for their loyalty. There are so many ideas and possibilities to expand this game and its world, yet they do almost nothing about it. The money spent on licenses could have been better invested in a more robust server structure, a larger map, or a new engine.
My guess is that the sequel will release following the resolution of the Captain Flameheart/Cap’n/Servant/Ramsey/Duke timeline.
sea of thieves is such a great game, but it has just always felt ahead of its time. I think a relaunch or announcement of sea of thieves 2 is exactly what the game needs to be honest. They can use the blueprint of sea of thieves and finally make it the game it was always meant to be.
Just getting back into SOT and I thought they should’ve waited on captaincy for a SOT2. Kinda feels bad that there’s a whole new progression system that all my previous playtime didn’t contribute to.
Rare is working on Everwild
Can’t wait for them to conclude Flamehearts story in the sequel to try to bring people in
I sincerely doubt that there will be a second game. I will eat my shorts if there is a sot 2
The question is what if they make it free to play like Overwatch 2. It would be the best way to get new players, but could also ruin the game forever.
free to play would just be a cheating nightmare if they dont get a good anti cheat
@@sSteppingStones Show me a "good anticheat" and I will show you proof of a bypass.
They should fix the game enough where cheating is only esp and aimbot instead of speedhacks, teleporting etc.
@@deivistrefl2981 good anti cheat doesn't exist!
Just Gamepass again I think
I would love a sequel or full on relaunch simply to solve the server stuff. Imagine sea of thieves with an even bigger ocean and more islands and biomes and most importantly MORE SHIPS per server along with all the usual cool content and better hit reg. I would play it forever lol
I honestly don't think they will release a sequel for the simple reason that Sea of thieves is a long term game right now.
Its life expectancy is still great, Rare is still making money with the game. If the Devs are really working on something big related to SoT, it would be likely be a huge update like anniversary was.
New features, mechanics and likely map expansion.
But who knows.
The more I think about it the more of a miracle 2020 was, we got an insane amount that year
Gonna be honest here. SoT is one of those games that don't really need a sequel UNLESS it takes place in the SoT Universe and is a different type of genre. Meaning stuff like rpg elements for example. If they just update engine but keep the gameplay loop the same a sequel is not needed.
Personally, I feel like they MIGHT be working on a sequel, but not for the reason most would believe. Sea of Thieves is an old game. An old ONLINE game. Every online game is like a timer. As the time ticks by, the game loses more players and money. And once the timer hit's zero, the devs can't afford to maintain the servers and the game goes down. Unless of course, the game has some local or offline play features. With the addition of Safer Seas, I'm lead to believe Rare feels Sea of Thieves might be on it's final legs these recent years and they're using Safer Seas as some testing ground. I think it may be safe to assume even more solo play features could be coming soon, and if so, the more likely we are to get a sequel. If they really are using these new features as testing ground, then they may be using the collected data for the potential sequel.
If they do make a sequel, they better have some way to transfer your pirate, otherwise, the community might force Rare to walk the plank...
I think renaming the game "2023 Edition" is a big hint that there may be a "sequel" or relaunch under a newer engine and named 2024 or 2025 edition.
Maybe the "visible" development has slowed down because they prepare to move to Unreal 5, which would be a major task.
I want Sot 2 just to relive the experience of everyone being a diaper when it first launched 😂😂
Personally, i think Rare is underutilizing Insiders as a tool, they need to announce what they are bringing to the game and tell players to join the Insiders Branch to help find glitches and tweak upcoming content.
Ok, so now it seems like this is probably actually building up to the game being released on other platforms.
That would still be a relaunch in itself and would definitely increase the playerbase, but wouldn't be a sequel
I really hope they make a sequel with a better engine, better servers, revamped combat, and pve servers
Would love a relaunch to fix up server issues and revamp some of aspects. This game is funand has so much potential, but a session is a good time commitment to get anything done. I feel like some sort of quest or spawn option to get you right into the heat would bring akot of people back
If they do a sequal a good idea would be to link them to get cosmetics from tge previous games and have them connected
I really don't think it needs a sequel, and I don't think me and many other SOT fans would even play SOT 2. I don't think there's anything wrong or outdated about the base game, but I would like to see more content updates, as some things like the skeleton forts have just been forgotten about and get boring for regular player
Pretty sure they are making a different game and there is no SOT2
Sea of thieves 2 has been rumoured for over 2 years now though Thier is still content around that they haven't used yet in the actual game. I would at least give it 2 to 3 years. Before we actually hear anything big about it. I would also hope they make it a story to remember.
the lack of christmas trailers could also be seen as proof.
I doubt they are working on sot 2 given safer seas are for new players. They wouldn’t invite new players to play sot if they were making another one. Plus all the bug fixes and stuff.
Well let Rare finish Everwild first (announced 4 years ago). And as they still work on SoT seasons i'm not so sure about a SoT 2 until many years
If they were to relaunch it would come either S11 or S12 as S11 is the last expansion of key mechanics.
If their is a new game I would love for randomly generates Islands for every server
Going to say this, if Safer Seas is a way of testing if people want a PvE only game, then boy did they fk that up. I know at least 12 people now who didn't want to come back because how much of a hit the progression took. If this was a TRUE test. They should have just separated the characters so there would be no crossover and left the progression as is.
Let’s be fr I don’t think we will ever get A SOT 2 if we do then A: ill be surprised and B: it’ll probably be just map changes
I thought the "sequel" was going to be Everwild, considering the pitch they sold us was "sea of thieves, but druids n' shit"
If this is true, I don’t know how I feel about it. I would LOVE to see better/ larger servers with more people/ships and more areas, and I always assumed it was just the old gen consoles holding them back. But even if they need to relaunch the game with better servers or something but keep the same game I would be happy.
I would be sad if they launched a whole separate game and we lost all of our amazing cosmetics (looking at you ferryman sword) just like you did in Destiny 2.
Rare can't even make an anti-cheat. And you think they are making a new game? LOL The servers would just be the same anyway since they use microsoft servers. The Game is cross platform., that's why there are five Dev Teams.
The game was released before it was finished and that rickety foundation needs to be torn out and rebuilt with better future scaling. The original game release was bare bones resulting in a alpha / beta experience throughout the first year. The copious amount of issues are piling up from the original build not being able to handle new content easily. The biggest strength the game has being interacting with other players has been sacrificed since they lowered ship and player counts multiple times in order to add unnecessary stuff like guilds and over the top spreadsheet systems that aren't fun. A lot of the things they added have nothing to do with playing the game, they are just tracking what you do and that's supposed to be content somehow. It seems like real content has been missing for a while and no announcements of real stuff being added. Reskinning a skull, chest, boat skin isn't very enticing to get a lot of people back on the game. We know it's the same thing but new paint.
Recommended for Sea of thieves 2... Make it more adult, and give it directional melee combat similar to For Honor
All i want is Sea of Thieves 2 on playstation with more ships, more weapons, bigger map and islands, and just more everything!!!
I definitely feel like Safer Seas was an ass kissing move. Not that its a bad thing to listen to the players wants. Feels like compensation for all the disappointment in delays, hit-reg and hacking.
Rare has a 10 year plan with sot, a sequel in the nearest possible future would be in 2028
“It happened to Destiny” if Sea of Thieves turns into Destiny I’m going to lose it. That game has unforgivably hurt me. Never again.
I find it hard to believe that Safer Seas would be close to a good benchmark for how many people want a PVE Sea of Thieves considering it is a gutted, slower version of the existing game. I hate PVP as much as anyone but Safer Seas is not good.
